“Went to Chop yesterday evening. Striploin cooked to perfection but waaaaay to salty - salt was the only thing we were tasting! Also, bottle of red wine was too warmed - mostly tasted the alcohol.Service was great, as was the overal atmosphere.So...if I were to return I'd specifically ask for 50% less salt on my steak, and for the bottle of red to be chilled/put on ice. Finally, management should add the year of the bottles in their wine list.“
“My partner and I love walking over for .69 cent wing nights on Mondays and it’s always been great service. It’s def your typical sports bar but you can’t beat the price if it’s walking distance.Wings on Monday nights are good for the price. Honey garlic, garlic Parmesan, kill dill, buffalo are great flavors. The dry rubs are a hit or miss especially the dill or salt and vinegar so I would avoid those.They have specials each week so check their website for deals“
“Emily B. was amazing! It was my first encounter with such an exceptional waitress. Despite the bustling atmosphere, her timing was impeccable. The fish was excellent, and while the fajitas were good, I'd rate the steak 4 out of 5. Although some parts were tender, others were a bit tough. The dessert provided a satisfying conclusion to the meal. I appreciated that the dishes weren't greasy or overcooked. The overall atmosphere was enjoyable.“
“I went to the Brew Table with my husband for dinner for the second night in a row. Our server Verenique was amazing and gave us a warm welcome back. Going with her recommendations, we ended up eating two of the best meals we have had at a restaurant. We highly recommend The Brew Table to anyone who finds themselves in the Ottawa region. Thank you for a lovely meal and evening. We will definitely be back another night to sample their sweet deserts.“

“In the air has become my favourite part of the week (I even re-arranged my work schedule to come here more).The staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I feel more like I'm going to hangout with my friends than just going to do an activity.I've brought many friends and family over the past few months and no one has ever had less than a fun time. Even had my birthday party here with no fuss, a group of 2 or 30 (or more they can handle it)The drinks are tasty, the service is amazing and no matter if you're throwing the knives, axes, or shooting the air-soft guns you'll have the best time.“
“This restaurant was great when Tony ran it. The new owners have taken it to the next level! The food is delicious - the donair meat is juicy and cut thick; combined with their donair sauce and veggies, it all comes together to make their deservedly famous pizza and wraps. And, there is Terry-Lynn - you will be hard-pressed to find anybody who puts in as much heart and love into her food and business as Terry-Lynn ❤️“
“I don’t usually leave google reviews but I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Ottawa! The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is incredible and the service is top tier! Thank you to our lovely server Lori she was amazing!“
“Pretty good brunch place! Ordered the eggs benny, the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the poached eggs were cooked well, and the tater tots were tasty. Staff was friendly and it wasn't overly busy on a Sunday afternoon. Brunch is served until 1:30 pm on weekends and happy hour starts at 3 pm. We went for brunch and stayed for the happy hour!“
“The verdict: Great pub feel. Dim lights and people of all sorts and classes out to eat a great pub style meal. Food portion meets the price.food came hot and was definitely full of flavor! Staff was on point and very friendly... So The Manx, you get a 9!“
“If you’re someone who enjoys authentic Asian food, anime and a down to earth atmosphere then Kuidaore is the spot. My fiancé and I came here and we cannot stop talking about this place. The manager is super friendly and the food is very flavourful!“
“This place is truly amazing. The cocktails are so good. If you want something different, they can also create a cocktail just for you. The mixologists are always on point. We always enjoy having some cheese and charcuterie. I had the best sourdough cracker there - like, the best ever.“
“I have turned into a regular at 692. The matcha is as good as what I've had on Japan. The oat cortado is a weekend treat. The vibe is positive.and welcoming. Highly recommend this local gem.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. Alt dairy easily available.“
“I really liked this place. The good is priced very well, everything tasted fresh and it was delicious. My only beef with this place is that it's pretty loud, and also the chairs are terrible. You sit down and feel like you're going to fall through it. They move and creak and it's very unnerving.“
“The moment we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and a menu that promised an exciting culinary journey. Despite a minor error in our order, the staff's prompt and courteous response was impressive, ensuring our satisfaction. The dishes we sampled were a delightful fusion of flavors, beautifully presented and leaving us eager for our next visit. This small oversight was easily overlooked, thanks to the overall excellence of our dining experience.“
“Such a great spot! Location is beautiful, food was great, different menu than other Brown’s which was nice. Good beer selection, service from Kyler was fantastic. Highly commend, we’ll be back!Parking: Smaller parking lot but free right on site with plenty of other free street parking near by.“
“LAGO was absolutely outstanding in every way for our wedding day. We got married on November 4, 2023 and it couldn’t have gone more perfect. Gyneya & her team were so great to work with. She was very responsive to emails answering all our questions, helped us walk through the entire timeline and was there on the big day making sure everything ran smooth. The venue went above and beyond to provide lots of gluten free options for the menu (myself and a few guests have gluten allergies). We had all gluten free or d'oeuvres and they altered the sauce for the main dish to accommodate. They even went out of their way to purchase a specific seltzer when I mentioned that was my favourite drink. All the food and drinks were SOOO good. We did minimal decorations because the venue is beautiful on its own. We have had many guests reach out to us post-wedding to compliment the venue, the staff and the food. We are SO happy with our decision to host our wedding at LAGO and would 100% recommend this venue!“
“I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, making it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. The menu offered something for everyone, with a diverse selection of dishes to choose from. The attentive service made our evening enjoyable and stress-free.“
“First time I went to this place the food was amazing and the staff was amazing can't wait until I am back in Gatineau to go to this place again for supperDietary restrictions: My neice has severe egg allergies and the waitress was always asking the kitchen staff what had eega and witch didn't and they made sure we didn't have anything with eggs in it amazing service“
“10/10 would recommend, the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, the drinks, very tasty and the food was delicious. If you like smoked meats and a variety of unique salads with lots of flavour this is the place to dine in with a cool retro neon 80's style atmosphere!“
“One of a kind dive bar & an Ottawa institution. The definitive jaunt for all flavours punk, metal, and alternative music in the Byward Market, with chill vibes and strong anti-establishment spirit. Also the home of some of the nicest people in town.“
“Completely accommodating to us and our two year old daughter. They accepted a last minute easter reservation and set us up in a lovely booth. Food was very well prepared and we tried the gruyere and mushroom dip for the first time and highly highly recommend!We'll done all around!“
“Visited the Elmdale for my first time earlier tonight – what a delightful spot! My date encouraged me to try the Chowder and let's just say it left me WOWder'd – can't forget to mention the Beef Tartare, too. Yum. Our main server was so great, but every server that passed checked on us as needed. Nice to hear local artist Shawn Tavenier do some sweet covers too, really added to the experience. Can't wait to go back for oysters!“
“My husband and I came here for dinner during a snowstorm and immediately felt at home—Noreen was so welcoming and friendly! The music was perfect, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere very cozy. We are already looking forward to going back soon :)“
“Fantastic service and food was good as well!My mushroom and Cheese was a little on the drier side. My wife's eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection. The milkshake was great and last but not least the home fries was the best in town, garlicky and well cooked.“
“Went there once with, who I thought, would be the love of my life, just to find out how,kind of a bit too late, that once again I caught another possessive manipulative maniaco etc... toxic person he was!!! But had the time of my life like always and left with someone else!! Happy Happy ending!!!!“
“Incredible service by Blythe! The meals were wonderful, and we were well attended during our visit here for a birthday celebration!! She made this experience as lovely as she was. Top notch and will definitely recommend and return.Thank you Blythe!!“
“My new “pocket bar” in the hood that is quite nondescript on the outside, but is warm and inviting once you’re inside. The Barman is amazing handling the everyone on his own!Enjoyed the intimate space with a 7 man band… The Boo Radlley Project“
“This may be a small venue, but it has the biggest heart in the whole damn city. The staff are all so kind and sweet (special shoutout to Tony and Griffin!), it's kept very clean, plus it's extremely safe and welcoming for everyone. They host all kinds of weekly events like drag and comedy, so if you need something to do in downtown Ottawa come here!“
“In town from Moncton and we decided to try Bowmans and it did not disappoint. The Bowman burger is a must for the burger lover. My fiancee had the pulled pork and it was amazing. Don't let the size of the pub fool you. The food has huge taste. Will definitely go back the next time we're in Ottawa.“
“I love hanging out at McLaren’s, been here at least a dozen times. Great vibes, lots of pool tables and great beer selection. But one of the best things is the staff - the servers and bartenders are always super friendly, skilled multitaskers and always giving great service. I’ll keep coming “
“I went to Vespa for dinner with my wife and another couple. The service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We had pastas and pizzas. Both winners for sure.The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy.We will definitely return again.“
“Love the drinks, the seating, the events are always fun, great music upstairs. Only reason I give 4 stars is because one of the bouncers are really weird. Kicks girls out of the ladies room for being there too long and accuses people of selling drugs if you go in and out a lot. Bartenders are nice though!“
“Love the old character and the great ambiance of this place. The little pictures and paintings here and there are wonderful. The bartender was professional and friendly. The burger and smoked meat sandwich were both amazing! And we tried some new beer that we loved as well. Highly recommended.“
“We were on the high tables on the bar side. Other than the music with the "base" a little too loud, everything was perfect!The food is excellent. We had the shrimp starter and I had the tacos. We brought fries with their dill mayo, yum! I recommend!“
“Bier Markt had the perfect comfort food and delicious sour beer flights to watch South Carolina defeat Iowa to win the championship ? in the exciting NCAA Women's Basketball ? Tournament! The multiple screens made it convenient to watch the game no matter which angle we were seated at! I recommend ordering the pork schnitzel and the fresh clams as a starter.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no stairs“
“crazy to say, i’ve been coming to this exact kelseys since 12 years ago!!! it amazes me my fave meals i order and the quality has been the exact same, if not even better over the years!!!! every single item we ordered was delicious, fresh, clean & the most important: generously portioned !!!! just amazing. the best waitor here is RICK G! what a guy. constantly checked on us & didnt judge our overly huge order of food for 2 people??? hope he serves us everytime we go!! thanks for a great meal.“
“Great service from our server yesterday. He was never far away without necessarily being too present. I was with a friend and we talked a lot. No pressure to clear the table. The food was excellent.The tables are a little too close together for me, but that won't stop me from going back.“
“Had the guys from work over here for an evening. Service was great, Marley took great care of us in the lounge. Everything was perfect. The food menu is basically a deep fryer, but otherwise it was great. Great evening out with the guys.“
“In the heart of Ottawa you'll find Warehouse in the middle of the Bywad market area. Had such a great dinning experience, service was fast spinach dip amazing. I got recommended this drink from a server and was such a great decision. Defiantly going back soon. A little price but great music and close parking makes it all worth it. No reservations so when its busy make sure to get there b4 the rush!!Parking: Parked at the parking garage extremely close and cheapKid-friendliness: Such great customer service, greeted with warm friendly smiles and great recommendations.“
“Even though I am straight I love this bar. I like the diversity and the cool atmosphere and the very friendly staff specially the two female bartenders, very hardworking and most friendly and respectful, both my friends and of course Roxy, the best DJ. in the world and the cool friendly gent who collects cover charges at the door on most Saturday nights. I go Saturdays and this is a good opportunity for a good dancing exercise and tasteful drinks at great price as it is also a cool friendly place to dance and have fun.“
“The best Resto-Bar in Ottawa, very good atmosphere, very friendly employees, well decorated and very clean, most importantly the food is very good, an African flavor mixed with Canadian. If I could give 10 stars I would have, I recommend everyone to go to Double 7.“
“We cannot recommend The Keg Manor enough. We enjoyed an incredible celebration of life for my mother in their outdoor patio in May. The staff were top notch. The food was incredible and everyone mentioned to us how they loved everything. If you’re looking for a gorgeous summer/fall outdoor venue, this is a hidden gem in the city. Thank you to everyone who made this rough day, simple, easy and touching.“
“I’ve been craving having a thick nicely smoked smoked meat sandwich with cheese for the longest time. So I drove myself finally to Smoky’s and ordered the 7oz on rye with fries and slaw. I must say that my craving was satisfied. The fries were unexpectedly delicious, the slaw juicy, and the sandwich was…amazing…except that…Tammy forgot to add the cheese. I will surely return to get another sandwich soon, this time with two slices of cheese instead of none.“

“The lounge is very romantic and stunning, I had a great time here although I tried the steak and wasn't quite satisfied with it. Also the crème brûlée I wasn't a fan of. Everything else was perfect. A lovely place for cocktails and socializing ✨“
“Do not recommend. Worst run night club I’ve ever been to. Making your patrons wait for 45 minutes after opening is not professional. We bought tickets far in advance to ensure that didn’t happen. I will not be back to the establishment.“
“We were a large group in for my husband's birthday last night and our server Ashley was awesome. Polite, good service, always there when needed, helpful and so on. 100% and I feel she should be recognized. Keep up the great work Ashley ?Kid-friendliness: Well respected.“
