“Had an amazing dinner the other night at Somewhere. The vibe was amazing of the restaurant. The service and food was spectacular, hats off to the chef Kimo for making the experience a truly amazing one. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for good eats and good drinks in Ottawa!“

“10/10! The White Album was amazing and some of the best garlic sauce I've ever had! They have incredible food.“

“love their fries and gravy“

“what a wonderful place with a very friendly staff and excellent food.“

“The Barpa burger is my favourite burger in the whole region. Especially with the slice of roasted red pepper they added on for me!“

“comedy night every Tuesday at 8pm is awesome👍“

“This place is awesome. Every time we come here the food is delicious, the atmosphere wonderful and the staff are fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend.“

“We haven’t been there for 15 years and the staff were all friendly and served us the biggest nachos I’ve ever seen. Everything was perfect!“

“The Manx pub is a great place. Not very big, lots of atmosphere. Food is great, large portions and reasonably priced 😁 *****“

“Went for the festive meal. While the food and service was good, I found that the prices are a bit crazy now. $25 for a festive meal for what you get is getting a bit pricey. The chocolates that I received for the festive meal were really old and inedible.“

“We had a great meal here! We got the Mediterranean bowl and the salmon bowl. The salmon was perfectly good and both meals were very flavourful. Our server was friendly. My only complaint would be that we waited 40min after our hummus appetizer came out to receive our food - not a big deal but just a little annoying considering it wasn’t very busy.“

“This restaurant is a gem, especially for weekend brunch. As a local permanent makeup artist with a studio downtown this is my favourite place to grab a full slow-food breakfast before my first client arrives. The table settings are luxury class with white linens and proper settings. The variety and quality of food is excellent. I imagine that travellers staying in the hotel would have an excellent experience. Having tried other hotel restaurants in the downtown core I can say that the Carleton Grill is competing very well.“

“While staying at the Courtyard by Marriott and seeing good reviews of the Bistro, we came here on the last day for breakfast.The food was overall ok. The flatbread was especially great. The burrito was a bit tough (the tortilla was a bit over toasted/grilled).In the photos I’m also showing the normal French toast vs. the kids menu French toast.The service was great. Staff was friendly.The restaurant is open concept located on the ground floor adjacent to the hotel seating area.Overall a good choice for breakfast.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid menu (although not displayed on the main menu)“

“neat, kind staff, good atmosphere“
