Perfect dining experience before a show at the NAC. Food was delish and good amount of choices. Service was excellent and the entire experience was amazing!

Superb dining! Perfectly prepared and gorgeously presented food. Our server, Diane, was top-notch; genuine, knowledgeable and very efficient.

My family recently had a wonderful evening here in celebration of my mother's birthday. We had a lovely table overlooking the Rideau Canal. The food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. Our hostess, Favi, made our evening extra special.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at 1 Elgin, not only was the service unmatched and so welcoming but the food was absolutely divine! I’ll be raving about it for a while. My mom and I had a wonderful time and the atmosphere of the place (though busy) was still perfect for excellent conversation. The wait staff was so accommodating and offered the best recommendations. Can’t wait for another opportunity to go back!

Popped into 1 Elgin for a pre-show dinner at the NAC. Restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Will definitely come back as their menu evolves through the seasonal ingredients available.

The indigenous resident chef has created a fabulous menu. Absolutely delicious. We had the three sister salad for appetizers , and the duck and the venison for mains. So delicious all around.

Location is great.the atmosphere was pleasant. The cocktails tasted like medicine. The food was mostly good, except for the turkey that tasted like ham. In this price range it was good value as it was very decently priced. The food was ok. I had venison which was good although the side potato puree tasted like powder potato. I would recommend it for a pleasant night out even though the food was just ok. The service was very good.

Very nice restaurant with the best location in town. The food was very good. Of course, there's a price for this. 😉

The quality of the food was exquisite and unexpected for the price. Beautiful view along the canal. Server Justin was incredibly attentive to our needs and wants. Would return and recommend.

Everything was good but the the “beignet “ was not a beignet. It was a ball of fried dough. Having had them at Cafe du monde…this needs some research.

Amazing location by the canal and very convenient if going to a play. The food was beautiful and imaginative, but was not well executed. The portions were small, parts were under or over cooked, and overall it lacked flavour. We had entrees and dessert. Unless the location is your primary concern, I would not recommend. Considering the price tag, the meal was incredibly disappointing.

Really good food- but the service is what put it over the top. Our server Ivan was truly outstanding and even took pictures for us. One of a kind experience! Felt like a proposal all night haha!

It was a pleasure working with Courtney Strauss organizing our staff event we reserved for July 24th. She was professional offering options to accomodate our requests, timing, and dietary needs.

The experience the staff had was fantastic. The food was delicious and being so hot outside we opted to move inside last minute for dinner instead of on the patio as originally planned. Although this feat was overwhelming for our server to do alone he pulled it off.

Thank you for making this event a huge success. We look forward to visiting as a team and personally after this great experience.
