“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”

“Atmosphere was great, staff and people were very friendly and welcoming. Was so nice after a long day. And on top of that the food was great, chicken strips as a name of a dish is misleading, huge”

“Okay, you HAVE to try Seattle Sutton’s meals! I’ve been getting them for almost a year, and they’re seriously the best meal delivery company. I actually talked to one of their dietitians before I signed up and they were super helpful and answered all of my questions. There are so many meals I never would’ve thought of making myself, but they’re all so good. The convenience is unreal. You just heat it up. I don't have to cook anything and I hate doing dishes, so that's a huge bonus. Plus, everything is always fresh, like I just bought it at the store. If you want easy healthy meals without worrying about fake or unhealthy ingredients this is 100% the way to go.”

“We needed a family-friendly atmosphere for our daughter’s baptism luncheon, and Sunfield was incredibly accommodating for our party of 35! They made the event stress-free. The food was phenomenal, and the servers and bussers were attentive, ensuring that no one had to wait for drinks or food at any time. That was a huge plus! Thank you for everything!”

Holly gives great small town customer service that can't be beat! And of cakes aren't your thing try the many other amazing desserts or breakfasts! The ricotta croissant and oatmeal cookie sandwich is our fav! 10/10 recommend”

“The Cheese Shop has such amazing homemade soups. I have enjoyed everything I have ever tried from their menu. The Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my favorites, and I usually order their Cuban Panini, or their Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, or their Turkey, Bacon, Cheddar sandwich! If an event is catered by The Cheese Shop, you KNOW the food will be great!!”

“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. ♿️”

“Came in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with the wife and kids while visiting nearby Starved Rock. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside on the patio. Amanda was our server and she was excellent! We were the only ones on the patio and her and other servers checked on us regularly to make sure everything was good. Food menu had a lot of options, all very fairly priced, and food came out quick, hot, & fresh. Thank You!”

“Honestly, this place is fantastic. I've been ordering here since I moved into town and I'm extremely impressed. the food is portioned and priced correctly, they aren't afraid to add some spice to the dishes, and full of flavor. whether I pick it up or get it delivered, they are extremely fast and polite to me. their combo platters are the best deal for sure. they've also been very informative when I've asked for any allergy information.”
