Many people complain that there is no real fine dining in Ottawa. This couldn't be further from the truth. This was my birthday dinner from yesterday:
Appetizer:
Egg Custard with Shaved Bottarga & Truffle Oil; Beef Carpaccio with Caper Berries & Parmesan Shards
Main course:
Cornish Hen served with Chicken Liver Sausage, Swiss Chard, Mashed Celery Root, Braised Celery, Oyster Mushrooms & Tiny Celery Leaves
Served with an interesting Pinot Noir from the Norman Hardie winery.
And for desert, I had a blue-cheese apple crumble.
The entire meal was excellent (the appetizer floored me in particular) and the service was first-class.

I was just telling people the other day how impressive Ottawa dining has become. You left out an important detail in your post - what was the restaurant?
I left it out on purpose. As an exercise to the reader :)
If you search the menu on Google, you will hit the web site of the restaurant.
