“Rob Purdy was my server! He was quick, friendly and kept checking on me if all was good! I ordered a Shirley temple and he brought me one with cotton candy on top and said it was actually the cheaper option! Score! The food was delicious! I came from out of town and everytime we are in town, we always come to Montanas for the antijito’s! Never disappointed with the food or service!“

“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! 💙“

“What a difference from our visit three years ago! Everything we ordered at Kelseys Barrhaven was delicious. I had the Mediterranean salmon and absolutely loved it. My sister and brother-in-law both had the chicken quesadillas and really enjoyed them, while my niece loved her burger and fries. Our previous experience had left us disappointed, but this visit completely changed our minds. We were very impressed and will happily return!“

“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 truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Gyneya and the entire team at Lago! Every single staff member we interacted with was kind, positive, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. From FOH to BOH, the entire team was such a pleasure to work alongside and operated like a true well-oiled machine - always ready to jump in and lend a hand wherever needed.

The venue itself is also beautiful, with modern, elegant design details and the most lovely setting right by the water.

As a wedding planner, the team behind a venue makes such a difference in the overall experience, and working with people who genuinely prioritize service, hospitality, and collaboration means SO much. Gyneya and the Lago team absolutely delivered. I would happily work alongside them again and again! :D“

“Had a great time tonight! The staff was very accommodating for my friends wedding party, and made sure we had a great time!“

“Highly recommend! I was hesitant at first because I had no idea what the majority of menu items were. I was completely blown away. I am a very picky person, but the menu and how the food was explained in full detail, no matter the question by our incredible waitress was the first sign this is the place to be! A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item. I was fortunate enough to run in to one of the owners and give my nothing short of positive feedback. He was so grateful and humble. Keep it up all! Would recommend to anyone. Will be back!“

“Incredible spot, great beer!“

“Nice retro bar in Ottawa!“

“Tonight there was a group of men promoting white supremacy and confederate flags in Maclarens. They confirmed this verbally to us when we asked about their shirt. When we told the manager in an attempt to help their business and let them know what kind of space they are promoting and allowing, and that they were losing us as customers, they said "their money is green". They told us loudly that they do not care. BOYCOTT THIS BAR IF YOU ARE ANTI-SLAVERY, ANTI-WHITE SUPREMACY. PS I do not know why this shows as me recommending the place. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND. 0/5“

Fresh cut, cooked to perfection, generous portions and two dips. Ice tea was top notch. There is a fun easy-going casual atmosphere, manned by a friendly helpful staff. Absolutely recommended.“

“My husband and I visited Umbrella Bar and had such a nice experience! We ordered the Caesar salad, which tasted so fresh, juicy, and delicious. I just didn’t love how finely the lettuce was chopped, but the taste was really good.

We also tried the smashed beef burger and the chicken sandwich burger-style. Both were yummy, but we definitely preferred the beef burger. The sweet potato fries are a must try absolutely delicious !!!

The patio was beautiful, and the view of Dow’s Lake was wow. I also loved the dragon fruit lemonade bubble drink so refreshing and tasty. Overall, a great spot for good food, drinks, and a beautiful view.“

“If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a lot of character, look no further than this dive bar. Tucked away in a corner of the city, it has a gritty and unpolished vibe that gives it a unique charm. The low lighting and eclectic decor, including vintage beer signs and mismatched bar stools, make it a great spot to relax and unwind.

The drinks are affordable and generously poured, with a good selection of beers on tap and classic cocktails made to perfection. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and they make an effort to remember regulars' orders and strike up conversations with patrons. The jukebox has a great selection of old-school rock and roll tunes that add to the overall atmosphere of the bar.

The crowd is a mix of regulars and newcomers, and everyone is welcoming and non-judgmental, making it a great spot for meeting new people or just enjoying a night out with friends.

Overall, if you're looking for a cool little dive bar with a lot of personality and a laid-back vibe, this is definitely the spot for you. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or spend a fun night out with friends.“
