“Iza was AMAZING! Such a girls girl, they totally made us feel welcome and special. After such a long work week it was nice to go out and be greeted with their kind smile and demeanour:) 10/10 would recommend”
“Proudly Canadian! What a wonderful dining experience!
I loved the clean look of the restaurant, minimal decorations, a nice soft colour pallet open and bright.
Our waitress Lizz was very professional with her way of greeting us saying “hello ladies!” (more on this later)
Lizz took our orders giving us enough time to look at the menu.
As I saw others food coming out of the kitchen (a beautiful set up as well) I got more excited, especially when the table beside us got their beautiful looking food delivered, when ours came I was not disappointed!
The plate was beautiful, eggs poached medium, ham and potatoes with some thin sliced red crisp onions, perfect temperature all served on beautiful stoneware, the toast was brought out in a basket to keep the toast from becoming soggy, the coffee was great too and served in a big mug, not the heavy stone kind, big enough I didn’t need a refill.
The perfect breakfast!
Lizz checked in with us a few times to see if we needed anything else, when we had finished paying Lizz said “thank you ladies for coming, hope to see you again”!
Lizz because of your greeting and the great food and atmosphere we definitely will be back!
In general when people are eating out weather it’s fast food, a pizza joint or dining in I find it a downer when a group of woman of all ages coming in together are greeted with “hi guys, or what can I get you guys, and when we are done and need to pay and are asked, can I get you guys the machine?” It sounds so unprofessional.
Every time I am mis-greeted I do take a moment to educate, I make suggestions, just say hello everyone or hello I hope you enjoy your meal today, anything else but hi guys!
Sadly before long they come back with “is there anything else I can get you guys?”
Lizz has it right! And it was the start of a positive experience.
I write this in hopes others in the service industry take notice, speak up and make changes, it seem small but it sure changes the atmosphere and we are paying your bills and we tip.”
“Outstanding service from start to finish. Warm, genuine welcome, and professional, knowledgeable server. Food was delicious and packed with many flavour profiles. Lots of variety to choose from. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making our Wednesday night memorable! Keep up the good work❤️👍”

“My son Evan took me to lunch yesterday and it was a 10/10. Great meal and afterwards when our waiter found out it was my birthday, he brought over a menu with numerous choices for a complimentary dessert. I chose the cheesecake and it arrived with a beautiful blueberry sauce, a sparkler and message of best wishes!! 😮 It was amazing and if that wasn’t enough, he also gave me a birthday card from all the restaurant staff. Not a, "from all of us here at Chop", everyone had signed it personally!! Also included was a business card with a voucher for complimentary steak bites on the other side. They went above and beyond, it was truly appreciated and I wanted to share that Chop Hunt Club will take good care of you!!! ✅✅✅✅✅”

“We went in on whim for brunch after seeing some good reviews and wow. The food was outstanding, which we could tell when we walked in because the restaurant smelled amazing. And It was nicely traditionally decorated and everything was neat and clean. The waiter was very friendly, and the menu was big but clear. We ordered: Kaak (traditional bread - kinda like a much better pita), the halloumi, shakshouka, a meat and cheese pie (large), and a dip I can’t recall the name of but it was made with roasted red peppers, pomegranate molasses and walnuts and was very nicely presented with some nice olive oil in the middle of the bowl of dip. I also had the minted lemonade. All came out together for a delicious feast. The service was attentive but subtle. And when I went up to pay, everyone in the kitchen seemed happy and were having a good time and the lady at the cash was also very sweet. Seems like a family run operation. 100% will be back soon.”
“We went with Artistic Cake Design for our cake and cupcakes for our wedding back in September, and couldn't have been happier with the outcomes. Everything was so delicious (we had a lemon cake, and the cupcakes were lemon, red velvet, and spiced), and beautifully decorated - my design requests were followed perfectly. If we could do it over again we wouldn't chose any differently, and will definitely be using this bakery again in the future!”

Great establishment and the food was great! Highly recommend.”

Definitely made the whole dining experience more enjoyable!”
“We went to East Side Mario’s in Bells Corners today for my son’s 3rd birthday and it was awesome. They made him feel really special on his day. The food was amazing as per always.

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at this McDonald’s location! From the moment I walked in, everything felt welcoming, clean, and well-organized. The staff were incredibly friendly, patient, and professional—even during what seemed like a busy time. You can really tell they care about customer service and making sure every order is done right.
The food came out surprisingly fast, and everything was fresh, hot, and exactly how I ordered it. The fries were perfectly crispy, the burger was well put together, and the drinks were just right. It’s not always easy to maintain consistency at a fast-food restaurant, but this location really exceeded my expectations.
What stood out the most to me was the attention to detail. The dining area was spotless, tables were cleaned quickly, and the overall environment felt comfortable whether you’re dining in or just stopping by for a quick bite. Even small things—like how neatly the food was packaged—made a difference.
I’ve been to many McDonald’s locations, but this one definitely ranks among the best. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. I’ll absolutely be coming back again and would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable experience!”
“You have an employee that’s work at the Bellscorners restaurant, Her name is Jade she is so pleasant, she really does take care of the costumers. She has a smile on her face and greets us every time we go there through the drive through. She really does need to be recognized for her great service.”
“I had excellent service today at the drive-through. I actually had to ask the associate for her name just to make sure she gets recognized for her amazing work. Kaylee was very friendly, professional, and provided outstanding customer service. It’s rare to come across someone so kind and welcoming — thank you, Kaylee!”
“I’ve been coming to this location for years, and the consistency here is honestly unmatched. I literally drive past other Tim Hortons locations just to come to this one because the service is always reliable, friendly, and fast. My order is always made correctly, and I genuinely can’t remember a time I left unsatisfied.
A big reason for that is the amazing staff. Arash and Harkirat are especially outstanding — they’re always kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. They make me feel welcomed and go out of their way to provide great service every single time. Employees like them are the reason this location stands out from the rest.
Definitely one of the best Tim Hortons locations I’ve been to.”

“Food is good and service is quick! Only two things I would like different is replace your lettuce from iceberg to romaine. Iceberg just isn’t the best option for Greek salad And the fries are delicious. Yesterday I was there and they were a bit too greasy That’s all”
“This is a great well kept secret. I found out about this place through word of mouth and was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away in bell’s corner. Their pizza was excellent. Homemade crust was outstanding. The beer they have covers all ranges from ipa, lager, stout and the in betweens. They do offer other beverages such as ciders and hard seltzers. The atmosphere had a great vibe with a bit of light industrial crossed with rustic feel.”
“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...”
“Great food in significant portions. The pepper steak, bruschetta, and crusted salmon were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful, and supportive. They sell art from local artists. Will come afain.”

“By far the BEST marybrowns experience of my life, I ordered a cristpy chicken sandwich and I wouldn’t have ask for better service the chef amitoz made my DAY, Exellent service, fantastic environment and perfectly crispy chicken. I wish there was an amitoz at every marybrowns location”
“We ordered from skip and my meal was missing, so I called and spoke with I think the manager? Not sure who it was but she said they can’t order skip back and said I could come pick it up . I didn’t want to pick it up as I had guest over, so she said hang on and asked for my address and said they would deliver it.We opened the door and she was apologizing like crazy I wish I had her name but just want to say thank you and great service!, mistakes happen it’s how you deal with it. Thank you to the extremely nice lady who delivered it 😊”
“Delicious shawarma with perfectly seasoned, juicy meat and fresh toppings. Everything tastes well balanced and made with care. My kids say this is the best shawarma in town. Big thanks to Abdullan and Mahmood — you can really feel the passion they put into their food. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fantastic spot! The food is always fresh, flavourful, and lots of variety - something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable. The staff/service are consistently friendly, welcoming and efficient. Easily the best burrito place in Ottawa IMHO - would very highly recommend!”
“We’re two Nova Scotia moms in town for the Canadian Ringette Championship, and we ended up coming back to this restaurant FOUR nights in a row—which really says it all! Every visit was consistently amazing. We tried the steak sandwich, steak bites, French Onion soup, burgers, and the fish and chips (which were amazing). Everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what we needed after long days at the rink. But the absolute highlight of our experience was Leslie. She is truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had—so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. By the end of our week, we felt like we had made a new friend. Getting to know her was such a treat, and she made each visit even more special. Amazing food, incredible service, and an experience that kept us coming back night after night. Thank you for making our time here so memorable—especially you, Leslie! 💙”

“I’ve been here many times and it’s consistently amazing! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor, with generous portions every time. The ladies working here are incredible, super friendly, hardworking, and always keep things moving smoothly, even when it’s busy. One of my favorite spots at Bayshore Food Court. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend this store. The staff/owners are so nice and they really pay attention to details! The mango pomelo sago drink is SOOO good! You will have to try it if you visit. They also have the best dumplings around, so far their dumplings are the best I’ve tried in Ottawa, and egg rolls.”
“The washroom is rotally bad for a walker using person. Ther is no handicap stall & the toilet so low & no safery bars to help. I was helped by a stranger to stand up .Not acceptable”

“May 28, We had a Surprise Party Where do I begin the food was $$ reasonable , appetizers and meals were very good, Baked Salmon, Spaghettini /homemade meatballs were a big hit !! Music by Alex Lopez was very entertaining and fun. The service was top notch, my family and friends raved about how polite and how accommodating they were. Claudia and Georgia where very organized. I brought in 3 cakes to be prepared by putting on the special cake toppers for the finishing touch and serving each patron in a timely fashion, as well as serving extra slices of cake each with sparklers and candles. They took control of the details and told me not to worry. Very professional, my family and friends were very impressed over the service and politeness. I am from Toronto , I did a lot of my arrangements over the phone, they made my job so easy. After the big damaging storm Villa Lucia lost there power like many other people in Ottawa and surrounding area. I thought I was going to have to cancel, they lost all there food in there fridge and freezer. In a day and a half they recovered and the party was on. Special Thank You to Claudia and Georgia and there staff. My rate would be 5+”

“Shoutout to Tailgators for throwing me one hell of a birthday party last night! They went above and beyond for me and my large group of friends. I showed up to the lounge that was perfectly set up the way I wanted, one of the managers Ian was running around for me for the first hour trying to get my music and slideshow to work. He even let me log into my own Spotify when we couldn’t figure it out. Food was delicious and on time! Servers were so great and fun. Everyone had a blast and I couldn’t have asked for better! Would recommend this spot and their staff 10/10 times! So happy! Thanks again!”

“Stopped by this Baskin-Robbins barrhaven location and had a great experience overall. The service was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the staff took their time helping with flavor choices without rushing. The shop was clean, well organized, and had a relaxed, chill vibe that made it a nice place to sit and enjoy dessert. The ice cream itself was fresh, creamy, and generously topped, exactly what you expect from Baskin-Robbins. Definitely a solid spot for a quick treat or a late-night ice cream run. I’ll be coming back again.”
“Wowwww Quel belle découverte... Je vous le recommande!!!!”
