“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.”

Phynicia Restaurant 605 Longfields Dr Unit: 9, Nepean Mediterranean • $

“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.”

“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!”

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.

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.

The Brew Table 308 Moodie Dr., Nepean Bar • $$

“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! 💙”

“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+”

“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.”
