“Miscommunication with one of our 6 dinners, but they were very quick to listen, and correct the error with a change of meal.
It was a very busy dinner time, they did have 6 birthday dinners happening just in our time there.
Thanks, Montana's on Merivale Rd. in Napean! (Server: Rob aka. Party!)”
“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!!! ✅✅✅✅✅”

“I wanted to take a moment to thank Casey for an amazing service. She was kind, very helpful with the menu and was always checking on me to make sure everything was good. 10/10 recommend. :)”
“’ve been a fan of Sansotei for years, and this Merivale location continues that same reliable, comforting experience I’ve come to expect. Everything here is consistently good—from the broth to the noodles to the toppings—and it matches the quality I’ve enjoyed at their Toronto locations as well.
My “home base” will always be the Sansotei on Bank Street, right next to my office building. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve slipped in during lunch for a quick bowl that resets the whole day. This Merivale spot carries that same warmth and consistency, which is why it’s so easy to recommend.
I’ll be back again soon—and I’ll remember to take some photos next time to do the bowls justice.”

“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!”

Definitely made the whole dining experience more enjoyable!”

The service was truly exceptional. The food was amazing. Kudos to the kitchen staff.
We had the Chicken Parm (regular and the one with pesto).. 👌
The bread was lovely.. very soft and the butter was the perfect touch.
We will be back!”
“We stopped in for lunch on our drive home from Quebec to Sudbury. It seemed fairly busy, yet our food arrived seemingly instantaneously. The staff are so kind and welcoming. What really stood out to me was how fresh everything was. The avocado was such high-quality, something hard come by in Sudbury. Everything we ordered was well prepared and just leagues above what we're used to being served at home. We will return. Thank you!”
“Excellent service and best Indian snacks to savor.”
“We had a celebration for my mom after she passed just recently with a long weekend approaching we had no idea of who we could get River lounge Catering was recommended to us. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Everybody raved about the quality of service, the food, the display . and their professionalism. For our family they deserve five stars thank you so much. V”

“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!”
“I come there every single day. I love it! I love how they have a family bathroom too so you can have privacy in the bathroom. I wish the heat was a little warmer cuz they try and keep it cool cuz of the stove and burner going but a lot of the times it's cold in there and the tables aren't wiped out. I don't mind wiping down the table what I like to see that. Other than that I really like the food there. Thanks Corey and thanks to your whole gank gang for making me food all summer and all fall.”
“Irene, she helps me almost very morning. Shes extremely time efficient and has the best drive through customer service, with quick and incredibly kind service. You can definitely tell when shes not working the drive thru. This whole team has a great system and honestly by far the best mc donalds all around.
I also was blown away with Brooke's kind gesture of going out of her way, above and beyond with her costumer service for filling my cup with ice for work and was extremely kind about it.
We need more Mc Donalds employees like this location has as it has been by far my favourite location I visited to this day.
Please give recognition to the whole team for me as me food is always warm and coffee has never been burnt. All around amazing team. You guys are great! :)”
“I have to say it is the best restaurant I ever been to. I would say it has wonderful staff and a top notch manage, David. The environment is so clean, the fires and everything else some how taste better than others McDonald. The manager and the staff are friendly. I was sitting with my 8 year olds and telling him what a good manger can do. I told him a good manager is attend to detail, set good role models to staff and provide great customer service.”
““I usually stop by here in the mornings for tea, and the service is always great. There’s a staff member who often works in the morning — she is always very polite, quick, and has a very kind attitude.
I forgot to ask her name, but I really appreciate her customer service. If the management sees this, please pass my thanks to her, and if possible, I’d love to know her name so I can mention her properly in a future review. Thank you!””

“One of our favourite places to order takeout from. The Palak paneer is amazing and the onion bhaji is very tasty. Not a bad price, and we always have leftovers. Definitely recommend!”

“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.”
“Best food on the Ottawa area, I order food more than the average person & I can't beat Mr. Mozzarella's prices for the quality of the food!
I highly recommend this restaurant. Personal favorite - Pizza & wings with make your own combo plate!
Thank you Mr. Mozzarella for always delivering the highest quality foods!!”
“They make some amazing pies! I liked them so much I went two days in a row while on vacation in Ottawa. Everything was super fresh and came out piping hot you could really taste the quality. Big shoutout to Uncle for hooking it up and making the experience even better. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in town!”

“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!”
“Just tried Fat Bastard Burrito and honestly… one of the best fast-food experiences I’ve had in a while 🌯🔥
The portions are huge (they definitely live up to the name), and everything tasted super fresh. I built my own burrito and it was packed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and their sauces that add the perfect kick without overpowering the flavour. Every bite was loaded and satisfying.
The staff were friendly, fast, and really patient while I customized my order, which made the whole experience even better. The place was clean, the service was quick, and the food came out hot and fresh.
If you’re looking for a filling meal that actually tastes fresh and homemade rather than typical fast food, Fat Bastard Burrito is definitely worth checking out. Huge portions, great flavours, and awesome service. I’ll 100% be coming back! 🌯. Thank you amazing staff”
“I dined in at this restaurant for the 1st time today and it was excellent. Water with ice was brought upon sitting down. I ordered the pork bun which came with 2 delicious spring rolls. The tea came next and then the food. Pork was tender, vegetables were very fresh and included mint and green onions. Peanuts topped the dish. It was very good , the service was so friendly and the restaurant met my cleanliness standards. I will return”

“We visited on New Year’s Eve. According to the web, they were open until 3 but they actually closed at 1. We arrived at around 12:45, but they still accommodated us and served us nice food. Service was great and food was the usual, amazing Denny’s quality.
Thank you for sorting us, so close to the closing time. Will visit again!”

“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.”

“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+”

“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.”
“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others”
