Cyranos Restaurant - Nepean

We are regular customers at Cyranos and usually have acceptable meals. Tonight was an exception. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was serving one table other than ours. We had 3 orders of veal Marsala and one order of a special: Tuna. One couple agreed to share a Caesar salad. Two were brought. We ordered diet sodas and I had what I thought was a refill. $3 per drink and refills are $3. Chinsy. The veal Marsala was smothered in sauce and the veggies were overdone. The tuna was dry. All this for over $100 per couple with gratuity. No wine. To be fair this is the first bad meal we had at Cyranos but the signs are not good. Empty restaurant and poor food. Looks like the beginning of the end.

Ordered chicken parmesan, goat cheese pizza. They were delicious; the chicken parmesan portion was a good size. Great quality food.

This was a business trip and we didnt have a lot of time to waste. The veal gorganzola was thin but delicious. My business manager had the chicken parmiagano and ate every bite. They have a nice selection of desserts but I tried the creme brulle and loved it.

This restaurant has been around in Bells Corners or a long time and finally got to visit. We were pleasantly surprised but maybe should not have been. They make all there dishes by hand including their pasta's. Very nice atmosphere with tables and booths. Open kitchen so you can see the chef at work. I had a spicy chicken pizza and my wife had a pasta dish with pesto and goat cheese. We were both happy with our meals. Service was very quick and friendly.Recommended

Thanks to a gift certificate won as a door prize, we discovered this wonderful restaurant at Bells Corners in the west end of Ottawa. It was busy but not full for a mid-week lunch, with several larger groups. Perhaps because of the groups the service was a tiny bit slow - but service was so genuinely friendly that it wasn't an issue. The rolls, like everythIng else served at the restaurant, were home made and arrived hot, crusty and delicious. We asked for more. The crab cakes were excellent and clearly home made; the mussels were served in a velvet/smooth sauce of mildly spiced coconut milk, and the Caesar salad (requested instead of frites) extremely fresh. The pecan pie, again home made, was superb - not too sweet, lots of pecans. It was safe for someone with a peanut allergy. We will return here.
