“9.6.2025 We could not have picked a better wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Adrienne was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her passion and vision for this venue were so comforting when we were deciding where to have our wedding. I still remember talking with her and instantly feeling confident that this was the right place. The venue itself is stunning, and we received countless compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything was and the food just WOW. Even at our tasting, the chef made it nearly impossible to narrow down to just three options because every dish was phenomenal. On the wedding day, the service was flawless. Everything ran so smoothly, and we never had to worry about a single thing. Even the bartenders were amazing. So personable, fun, and truly kept the energy alive for our guests all night. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect place to celebrate their big day. Just take one tour or have dinner at pine hills and let the place speak for itself. Screaming thank you thank you thank you to the Pine Hills staff for helping make our day so magical. - The Zieglers“

“Great little local restaurant with a wonderful breakfast buffet with pretty good tasting food. The biscuits were a bit crumbly and dry but lather them up with the gravy and it's not a problem. The gravy was the typical pepper seasoned flour and water paste so nothing special but it tasted fine for what it was. Bacon and sausages were really tasty and so we're the pancakes.
The only downside was the very dry and hard scrambled eggs that you took a carve out of like a casserole and no really fluffy, moist, and flavorful like I would have liked. Can't ding it a star for that since it IS a buffet after all.
Service was prompt, courteous, and I never once had an empty coffee cup.
Price was a very reasonable $11.99 per person.“

Zeller Inn Bar • $$
615 Columbus St, Ottawa - 7.56 miles

“Zeller's Inn is a bar in the heart of downtown Ottawa. It is a larger bar, featuring an indoor/ outdoor patio with 2 pool tables, 2 dart machines, and a punching machine. Smoking and drinking is allowed on the patio, making this spot a favorite for both large and small groups and is a favorite spot for the locals to meet up.

If you ever want to meet new people, Zellers Inn is the place! At the very least, the bartender is nice, and will gladly conversate with you and answer any questions you may have since she is familiar with Ottawa.

As for their menu, I have yet to try it, so I will have to go back and investigate the dishes that they offer.

(no pictures this time, guys)

Parking: Zeller's is located on a one-way street, so be prepared to find parking on the side of the road.

Kid-friendliness: Do not bring your kids here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they are wheelchair accessible. ♿️“
