Been to a Jack’s before? Then you’ll notice we’ve shaken things up a bit this time around by adding some new menu items designed just for you! Fresh tacos, board nachos and a selection of mouth-watering burgers are waiting to be inspected by your taste buds. We now feature 40 beers on tap, including some of Ottawa’s own local brews. So what about this Jack’s has stayed the same? Same great food, same great people and of course, the same chalkboards giving you something funny to look at- besides your date! Get your butt down here right now!

    I’ve dined at EVOO a handful of times before and decided to go for my birthday this year. Originally booked a spot on the patio, but upon arrival decided the outdoor temperature was too hot for a comfortable experience. The waitstaff graciously adjusted our party to indoors without hesitation. We stayed until close despite seeing the 2 hour reservation limit on OpenTable. The food and drinks were all delicious, especially the trio of dips, grilled calamari, and spanikopita!! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and had a wonderful birthday dinner. Would absolutely reccomend and I will be back sooner rather than later. Thank you EVOO!

    From the moment we arrived, we felt at home, greeted cheerfully and wished a Happy Anniversary. The attention to detail is second to none at this restaurant. The food is exquisite; the quaintness of this restaurant adds to the overall experience. Our server was wonderful, informative and so personable. Everything we tried off the menu was beyond delicious and the presentation was so pleasing to the eye. I would not hesitate to spend another special occasion at North and Navy! Bravo!
