“We had an unimpressive visit at this Kelsey's a couple of months ago, and the manager reached out asking us to try them again. We visited again and had a very, very different experience -- the food was hot and the server gave us the perfect amount of attention. I admit that I really miss my long-time favourite Cracked Peppercorn Burger which is no longer on the menu. However the menu does have a good variety so there are choices: my dining companion had a steak and swiss with garden salad, and I had a bacon cheeseburger with a really excellent caesar salad. Thanks to the manager for reaching out to me and I'm glad we went back to Kelsey's.”

“In Kanata for one night while visiting our daughter and looking for sushi close by. Windbell Sushi rose to the top in searches and we took a chance since it was relatively late, ~8PM. It was a bright beacon in a small plaza of business that were closed for the day. A small but welcoming space, I think there were 4 or 5 small tables. Seated and taken care of the owners' children (I assume). The menu is extensive and varied, reasonably priced. Food came quickly and was delicious! Lovely people, great food :)”

Every time we visit kanata location, Simran gives us the most welcoming smiles, and prepare our orders exactly as want them (or better) and make us feel so welcomed, and everything taste better if you are happy. She has set the customer service bar very high; if we visit other places, they are never close to her efficiency. You are so lucky to have her.”

We were a party of 4 and arrived to a line up. We were told it would be approximately a 30 minute wait but we were seated in less than 10 minutes. So far so good.

Then we met our server, Afton, and our visit got much better. She was pleasant, accommodating, efficient, answered all of many questions with a smile. Nothing was too much to ask. We all agreed that she was one of the best servers we had ever met, and weez old so we know what what weez talking about!

The food was fresh, plentiful, and served hot with a 😃.

It is so true that one person can make or break a night. We were fortunate and are grateful for our experience.

Without a doubt we will be back and we sincerely hope we get to see Afton again!”

“Service throughout the evening, both in the dining area and at the bar, was executed with professionalism and consistency. Staff demonstrated attentiveness without intrusion and maintained an efficient pace under what appeared to be a high volume of guests. Of particular note were the male bartenders, who managed their responsibilities with composure, precision, and a degree of confidence that instilled a sense of order and competence behind the bar.

The venue’s ambience is distinctly upbeat, driven in large part by the inclusion of live musical acts. The bands performing during my visit brought an enthusiastic and engaging presence to the room, contributing to a collective sense of enjoyment that permeated the evening. This musical component elevates the establishment above a standard dining or drinking venue, offering guests a more dynamic and immersive experience.

The overall atmosphere could best be described as positive, sociable, and well-managed. While the space leans towards a more lively and informal energy, it does so without descending into chaos or discomfort. The management appears to have struck a careful balance between entertainment and hospitality, ensuring that patrons are both welcomed and well accommodated.

In summary, Crazy Horse succeeds in delivering a well-structured and enjoyable evening. It is an environment suited to those seeking competent service, engaging entertainment, and a celebratory mood. I would recommend it to individuals or groups seeking an evening out in Ottawa with an emphasis on live music and a vibrant crowd.”

“Little Caesars is decent for a quick, affordable pizza fix.

The staff are clearly overworked and understaffed but still manage to be friendly and helpful.

The pizza itself is average, similar to other fast food pizza chains.

I usually go for the Detroit deep dish—it’s okay but doesn’t quite compare to the original from Buddy’s.

Overall, not bad for the price, but there’s room for improvement.

Parking: Huge parking lot, it’s in a Strip Mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.”

“I feel compelled to write a review specifically to highlight Harpeet, who consistently provides an exceptional experience at Burrito Gringo. In a world where good customer service can be hard to find, Harpeet is a true gem.

From the moment you walk in, their pleasant and welcoming demeanor sets a positive tone. But what truly stands out is their genuine passion for their work. You can tell Harpeet takes real pride in what they do, and that energy is contagious.

Not only are they incredibly kind, but they are also one of the hardest working people I've seen. Despite the lunch or dinner rush, Harpeet remains focused, efficient, and always gets my order 100% correct—a simple thing that means more than they probably know.

Harpeet consistently goes above and beyond, whether it's with a friendly conversation, a helpful suggestion, or just ensuring everything is perfect before handing you your order. This level of care and dedication is what keeps me coming back. The food at Burrito Gringo is great, but Harpeet is the reason it's my go-to spot. Management is very lucky to have such an outstanding employee!”

“My Better Half and myself were about to go order a couple pizzas when I noticed Pirho Grill. It looked interesting and she wanted to see what they offered. Since it's Friday, she does not eat meat. She loved the idea that you could build your own bowl and went for the All the Veggies. she especially like the Vegan Baked Zucchini cakes. Myself I got the Spicy lamb Meatballs. Our meals were excellent. She loved it. Told me it was much better than the Cheese or Vegetarian pizza she normally gets on these days and that'll become our goto place on Wednesdays (another day she does not eat meat) and Fridays. Place suits us both as we both can have what we want and eat healthy. She was especially happy with the Staff who were courteous and helpful with explanations and suggestions. Now, if you add some sort of fish to the menu, she'll be in Heaven :P Highly Recommend the place.”

Aside from my Hokkaido ice cream experience in Japan, this has been by far the best and smoothest soft ice cream I have ever had and my second favourite of all time. I also loved that you can DIY the chocolate drizzle to your taste.

I was a little reluctant to order other dip cones as I am not a huge fan of sweets, but this ice cream already has me reminiscing about it. It honestly was not overly sweet like typical soft serves, and having so many selections of chocolate is awesome. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Strawberry sundae here I come! 🍨”

“'This' Wine Garden location is a fantastic spot. I made wine years ago and stopped going for a few reasons. Sure, I liked the lower price, and the flavor was decent, but the staff and environment were very dry/bland. When I stepped in to this store and met these people, I decided it was time to start again. The wine is amazing, the price is great, and the people here are amazing. Visit Matt at The Wine Garden . . . you'll start again too.”

“This review comes from an Uber eats order I made.

Heres what i ordered:
Pad Thai, shrimp; "very" spicy and "extra sauce".

And, it's what I got. I'd say the spice level on their most spicy option is like a medium spice, just FYI. For me, it's perfect as it doesn't take away from the eating experience, it's spicy but, you get the full flavor of the sauce and it's delicious.

Loved what I got. Thank you to the team!”

“Visited for a patio dinner on a Saturday evening. Good menu, clean venue, wait staff pleasant, food was good! But I have to point out a major faux-pas. I ordered the deep fried cheesecake for dessert. It was supposed to come with strawberry and chocolate sauce & whip cream. They were out of strawberry sauce but didn't mention it when I ordered and so was not given the option to choose something else. Another restaurant runner dropped it off with NO toppings whatsoever... I thought the toppings might come after, but after a while ate it as it was (it was good but would have been so much better with even only one of the toppings) Finally when our bill came, we mentioned that the dessert had no toppings. We were told the waitress was new and didn't realize.... I get that... but what I wasn't expecting was that we still had to pay full price for the dessert---no discount, no other offer. That was very disappointing service... I suppose I could have complained or asked to speak to a "manager" but at that point just really wanted to leave. Because everything else about the restaurant was good---and so happy it's even Canadian---we will return... hoping for a better experience”

Milestones 435 Kanata Ave., Kanata Canadian • $$

“We celebrated our daughter's birthday there, it was her choice of restaurant. We had an appetizer of calamari. One plate was just enough for 4 of us, we had 2 or 3 strips each. It was breaded and cut in strips rather than rings. Served with sauce and a piece of lime. Birthday girl had a regular Bellini cocktail, it was very impressive. It was served frozen. She ordered the chicken Shoyu Ramen, it was served with lots of yummy vegetables. The chicken was left out by accident but Adam our server promptly fixed that and brought it back with the chicken. One of had the steak sandwich served with fries. He said it alright. I had the Thai green curry with shrimp. It was served hot and tasty with 2 large crispy noodles. One more person in our party ordered the Ahi Tuna plate and replaced the rice with more vegetables which was happily accommodated. She enjoyed it very much. For dessert the bday girl was offered a free choice from the menu. She had the cookie with ice cream which we all tasted, it was really good! We also ordered a cappuccino, regular coffee and I found a jewel on the menu, a drink called The Shaft! It was a steal at 5$, 1 oz of vodka, Kahlua, cold brew and milk, shaken foamy and served on ice with a straw. I really enjoyed it. Adam our server was very attentive and frien dly. When asked what he recommended from the menu he gave us a few choices, two of which we ordered. I appreciate when a server actually recommends dishes with honesty rather than say "oh everything is good here". I will comment that we were cold where we were seated even though the entrance has double doors. Also, the lighting was a bit harsh which didn't make for nice pictures. Overall, the price was reasonable but we did not order any of the meat or ribs which are higher priced. The Bellini was only 11$ which seems like a steal these days with cocktails running at 15$ plus at most places. We would return.”

“It was close to closing time, and the place was fairly busy - most tables were occupied, but a few were always empty. I ordered the GBC avocado toast for $16, a hot chocolate for $3, and the pancake stack was $17 (with an option to upgrade). The cheese on my toast wasn’t melted - it was basically cold, which wasn’t great and would have tasted much better if warm. Our waitress was clearly very busy and seemed rushed, and I had to remind her about my drink, which wasn’t served with the meal as requested, but it wasn’t a big issue. There are only two washrooms(women/men), but each one only has a single cabinet, so women will likely wait in line like I did, and the washroom itself is tiny (I’ve never seen such a small sink). Overall, the food was alright, and I recommend this place”
