“Lovely visit to Montanas tonight. Spinach dip was delicious as always! Zoe was our server and she was absolutely amazing! So attentive and kind! Will definitely be back specifically for Zoe! My boyfriend had the Long Island icetea and was raving about it! I had the peach sangria and it was amazing!“

“We love coming to this kanata branch of jack astors. It’s been our favourite place for steaks, since we moved 2 years ago. We’ve tried a variety of places and always come back here, it’s great value for money, well cooked food and always fantastic service. Our servers today were Winter & Leisa who were both wonderful & very on the ball! Food delicious as always 10/10!“

“Kind service, great pool, great golf course“

“Stacey was very kind and polite and the service was efficient. The food was great as always. Very happy with the portions, lots of fries, lots of pita for the spinach dip.

*ahem* Men’s room top of kegs and under soap dispensers *ahem*

Kelsey’s is a go-to for us, reliable and welcoming.
5 stars“

“Our server was excellent and paid close attention to us and the many other tables that she served. I had the soup, sandwich and salad. The soup and salad were excellent. The sandwich contents could have been a little hotter. The chicken was not very hot at all. We enjoyed ourselves despite a busy day and all the noise and chatter that goes along with a popular restaurant.“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere“

“A beautiful dining space in the Clubhouse and on the patio overlooking the golf course! Great food and service! We had a group of 20 people and the food was quickly prepared and, by all accounts, delicious! I had the Mediterranean salad ... yummy! They have specials for happy hour, 3 to 5 pm“

“AMAZING WEDDING CATERING! We are just back from our honeymoon in Nassau, and as we organize our new lives as Mr and Mrs, we can't stop talking about what the Royals Restaurant did at our wedding. That evening, the chatter was surely talking about the food. And guests are still talking about it. The meals were outstanding. The Pesto Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers & Goat Cheese, the Roasted Sirloin with Yorkshire Pudding, the hors d'oeuvres, just to recap a few.... were thoroughly enjoyed. With Chef Derrick carving the beef, he definitely finished off the buffet line in style. Plates were full, and then enjoyed by each guest. The flavours were simply succulent. But it was not just about the food. Melissa and Lindsay were at the venue far before the guests arrived. The place settings were precisely arranged ensuring that everything was lined up. The stemware and cutlery were perfect. Their management of the setup was amazing. The staff supported all the guests so professionally. A big thank you to Melanie, for operating the bar with class. To all the staff in the background, our sincere thank you as well. From the first minute that the catering trailer showed up, to the last minute when Melissa & Lindsay left at 1:00am... we were thrilled that the Royals Restaurant were a part of our wedding day. Many thanks to you!“

“Amazing delicious like home made food, takeout from Uber was packaged perfectly“

“This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just dropping by for the view. The marina is well-kept, and the sunsets over the water are gorgeous. I like how the clubhouse has decent food and a casual patio. Downsides? It’s not super beginner-friendly unless you’re joining a program, and parking can be tight during events. Still, it’s a solid spot to unwind by the water or get out on a boat.“

“Restaurant International continues to be one of Ottawa’s best-kept dining secrets. Their affordable three-course offering is not only accessible - it’s genuinely delicious, showcasing the talent and promise of Algonquin College’s hospitality students.

The vegetable fritters were the perfect way to start the evening: crisp, flavourful, and just the right portion size, hinting at the quality of the courses to come.

The grilled chicken with mashed potatoes delivered pure comfort - exactly what a rainy, cold November night calls for - warm, hearty, and wonderfully prepared.

Dessert was a standout: a silky custard topped with caramelized banana that struck the perfect balance of sweet and rich.

A cold Kitchissippi Pilsner complemented the entire meal beautifully, and the service was eager, attentive, and entirely professional.

Enjoying a great meal while supporting the next generation of hospitality professionals is a perfect combination. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.“

“Milestones is one of our favorite chain restaurants. We were commenting that in all our visits, we've never had a bad meal. And the staff at the Pinecrest location is friendly and always ready to assist! It wasn't busy on a Wednesday night, so the sound level was quite low. We've been there before when the restaurant was full, and the noise level was higher. For the price and for the ambiance, Milestones is a go-to for us in our neighborhood.“

“Really good food and great service. . . ill be going back there whenever im in town..“

“I happen to be a transgendered woman wearing my dress being with a sister friend -I was very nervous as being transgendered yes busy when came in the atmosphere the staff the waitress was so open comfortable waitress serving us great“

“Had a Really wonderful experience with great service and atmosphere.
Food is the bestttttt hereeee and if you go to bar ask for Ali , he is the best and ask for his coffee special martini. The poutine here is best in the city for sure same quality as compared to Zak’s with well taken care of hygeine. Try chicken burgers also. Everything is worth for money and very affordable.

Vegetarian options: Try their side poutine veg one .“

“There are ample Park and Ride locations in Kanata/Ottawa where you can park for free and take public transportation at a minimal cost. The nice thing about public transportation out of and into the Canadian Tire Center is the city buses have a separate exit. While people are waiting to get out of the paid parking at the Arena you are already out of the area after taking the city bus a short 5 minute bus ride away to the terry fox transfer station at the Centrum shopping center after your event. If you haven’t parked there you can transfer to the area you parked or uber at a dramatically reduced cost. The city of Ottawa has many park and ride locations if you are coming to the arena for an event. Public transportation and pedestrians are given priority immediately after events so keep this in mind when choosing to park at the CTC. The arena staff are very helpful and friendly. 5stars. The area is generally very safe compared to other big events but remember to be aware of your surroundings. My only complaint is the lax enforcement of smoking or vaping during certain events. A hockey game wouldn’t have the venue in a cloud of smoke, nor would it be tolerated by fans, but certain concerts it is ignored. Keep this in mind when bringing children to concerts. The concessions are very expensive . The most cost effective concessions would be hot dogs, popcorn in a refillable cup, soda in a refillable cup. You can refill the popcorn and soda multiple times. Great to remember if you are going with kids to a family friendly event. Bring baggies. Sharing is caring.“

“This was our second time at this café bistro and we had a pleasant experience both times. The service was outstanding—quick and genuinely friendly. The food was good; their feature item is mussels - a lot of options to choose from. The flavors were decent, with some refinement. It's definitely a welcoming spot with a lot of potential!“
