Canadian Restaurants near Kanata, ON

“I came here today with my family and I honestly couldn’t believe Matt’s service…it was absolutely fantastic!!! I don’t usually go out because I really don’t like people but Matt might have just changed my mind on that. At least for Montanas. I can now say montanas will be our go to night out place, and hopefully we always get Matt. I’m sure everyone else is great tooo but Matt is definitely our pick.“

“We were a group of visiting relatives, loud and enthusiastic, looked after by Sara, who was patient, pleasant and very friendly. The food was delicious, bow tie pasta, chicken wings....and so were the cocktails, all on a beautiful patio. Doesn't get any better than that!“

“Stopped in here for a dinner. Didn’t seem very busy and we have had good experiences before with Kelsey’s. The proximity to shopping after dinner was a factor.

We arrived and were sat immediately. The server for our section seemed harried and I am quite patient knowing what service jobs are like but… overall it took 40 minutes to get our app, and it was cold - had obviously been sitting in the window a little. I asked for our mains to come out as soon as they were ready and it was astounding to see them within 2 to 3 minutes further cementing the fact our app was sitting.

I don’t wish to needle our server - he was very busy taking care of the two tables in our section and the entire patio (at least it seemed that way). He had some food runners that helped out but only after I semi complained about wait times did I see a second server come in to assist in the section at a new table that had been sat. I don’t blame our server for the poor service in this case but a perceived lack of teamwork from the other servers.

As we left I made a point of looking around to see what the general busy-ness was and saw a grand total of less than 10 tables throughout the restaurant with people in various stages of dinner, servers seemed busy and hostess greeted us as we left. The patio wraps around the corner of the building so I couldn’t see all of it but it was the busiest part of the restaurant.

Teamwork and perhaps a restructuring of section division would have made our experience so much better. I would hate to see how service is when they are busy!

Lost story short- cold apps, harried server, long wait for service, good food but overall generally disappointing

Oh yeah - didn’t Kelsey’s used to have ribs? I was hoping for some. The Thai curry dish was a good sub tho“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere“

“Kind service, great pool, great golf course“

“My wife and I visited Milestones in Kanata last Saturday and had a thoroughly enjoyable and delicious meal. Luckily, we arrived before 5 pm so took advantage of the Happy Hour price of wine, which was Canadian wine for a change. In fact, they had 4 or 5 VQA wines on offer, in addition to the delicious Jackson-Triggs house red and white wines at $6/glass. Kudos!

The Wham-Bam shrimp starter was delicious with its crispy coating and spicy Thai sauce that left a warm afterglow. My Blackened Chicken Alfredo was delicious, hot and heaping, as was my wife's Pesto Chicken Penne Asiago, both with focaccia toast. Next time, I'll control myself and leave some to take home for lunch the next day, as my wife did.

The shared white chocolate cheesecake for desert was scrumptious. A coffee brought the total to $115 before tip. Service was excellent and other than the high prices, we had no complaints at all. There is no option to rate prices/value for money but if there were, it would have gotten a 3 out of 5 rating.“

“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!“

“We enjoyed the 10 course tasting menu today. It was an exceptional experience. The service was incredible- attentive, polite, knowledgeable and kind. The food was delicious, and the chefs accommodated for allergies, dietary restrictions, children spice tolerances and without complaint or eye rolling (which we usually get). This was an unforgettable time and we will surely be back. We are all bursting with the satisfaction of so much great food.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Just enjoyed a beautiful buffet with a wonderful selection of international dishes, plus scrumptious desserts! The hostess, servers, and chefs were very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend checking out this gem!“

“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.“

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

“Great place! Highly recommended! Check it out today!“

“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“

“Nourriture excellente et prix raisonnables. Notre serveur: Cameron, était d’un grand professionnalisme et rapide. Courtois et sympathique. Je recommande vivement.“

“Our server was very nice and understood what we needed and was not pushy. Some restaurants push you out the door so they can use the table again. She told us to take our time. One thing I would suggest, give more time for us to finish our initial cocktail before bringing the meal. Other than that 5 out of 5“

“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 .“

“Shout out to Mel for being the most wonderful server!!! Made my day today!💓🌸💓🌸💓 10/10 service“

“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.“

“I haven't been, but it's my name. Five stars.“
