Once again Kudos to Petit Bill's! This wonderful establishment opened their doors to us yesterday at lunch when they were supposed to be closed. We had a private Birthday party there for a 1 year old and everything was perfect. Food excellent as usual, service outstanding as usual, and just the fact that they all came in on their day off was astounding! A great big thanks to the Petit Bill's family for making a special day even more special.

Tsk tsk Zym..."the wife"....not good.
The car, the dog, the cat....not The Wife.
There's no way you can 'out-english' this...
Your anticipated argument of "the wife isn't offended" won't count. I want to hear from Foodies. I don't like it. Derogatory. I'm sure you'll have another spin on it and it's been said for decades, but it's still not right, IMO.

Had a date night with the wife tonight and went here. It was only my second time ever here mainly because the first time we went a few years ago it all felt a bit too fancy-pants for me.
This time we were on the tall table side and maybe that helped make a difference, but it was altogether a great experience. Food was excellent. Service was fantastic. I had the pork chop served on a bed of fingerlings and green beans, with cranberry chutney on top. Wife had scallops with a spinach salad. Finished with cheese cake.
I still for the life of me cannot figure out why my pork chop was served in this massive bowl - that is a bit too hipster for me. But it was really damned good, and the prices were reasonable.
I will be back. In fact, I may go back on April 11th for the Jiggs Dinner (Newfoundland night). I have been pining for Jiggs dinner lately - my mom used to make it a lot back in Nova Scotia when I was growing up. Would love to see what these guys do with it.

My husband and i had a lunch today.
We heard about Petit Bill's has a reputation but food was disappointed.
I started with beets salad that it wasn't reasonable price, yellow beet was over over cooked and i paid $14.
We studied at Le cordon bleu, many friends recommended and they likes Lobster poutine.
It was soggy fries with broken sauce. I could taste any of Mascapone flavors. It was pretty gross.
I believe that ratings can be very deceptive.
But waitress was nice otherwise pricey and nothing special.

What more can I say that other's haven't already said? Lobster, on mascarpone cheese sauce, on fries, with lobster butter drizzled over top. I put some fresh ground pepper on mine to add a bit of zing, the only thing that could make this dish better would be... some fresh shaved truffles!

Lobster poutine: Chunks of lobster, broiled in butter with marscapone cheese sauce on top of delightly crispy yet tender shoestring fries. I first thought that the delicate flavour of the lobster would be overshadowed by the other flavours but boy was I wrong. This dish is amazing. Try it, that's all I can say.

My partner and I got a pair of Bill's Burgers on a recent visit, and we both thought it was outstanding-- near, if not at the top of our list of Ottawa burgers. Definitely beats out a couple more expensive options elsewhere in town.
Super friendly service and owner, too. Have to make a point to come here more often.
