“I recently dined at Harvey's and had an exceptional experience, thanks in large part to their outstanding employee Sadaf. From the moment I walked in, Sadaf greeted me with a warm smile and impeccable service. She went above and beyond to ensure my meal was perfect, offering recommendations and ensuring all my needs were met. Her friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly made my visit memorable. I will definitely be returning to Harvey's, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service, courtesy of Sadaf and the rest of the fantastic staff. Five stars all the way!“

“Service was very slow. washrooms were terrible with pee all over the floor. Wait staff messed up our bill twice. Ended up being overcharged for a drink. Food was OK but nothing spectacular for the price I paid. The medium and medium/rare steaks looked the same. I was very disappointed for our evening out. I wouldn't recommend the Cambridge location.“

“Really nice, bright, tastefully decorated space. Can't speak for the food as we were there for a club night, which was a great time. The only critique I have is that the reception space became VERY hot and humid very quickly. Please consider opening the windows on those nights!Wheelchair accessibility: Front entrance has stairs. Not sure if there is an alternate entrance.“

“This is my favourite chip truck! I’ve been coming here for over 18 years and it has consistently been 10/10 quality service and delicious food. The owner is so nice, very friendly, gives great portions and is always happy to help. The poutine is my favourite, the fries to cheese to gravy ratio is perfect! Every bite has a great mix of each down to the last one. The Pogos are good, crispy and tasty! The combos offer great value! There’s a great variety of options on the menu! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this truck!“

“Yet another Ottawa Go-to restaurant. We chose this place on a whim, and we're not disappointed!Roadhouse describes O'Brien's to a capital T! Dining room area, including good-sized booths, is spacious and inviting. Bar is pretty big with lots of seating. Plenty of screens to watch just about any sports action.I had the Ruben, that used grilled cheese to hold the smoked meat. Very good! Fries were great too. Lots of menu choices that all look great!Service was quick and efficient! Everyone is greater, arriving and leaving. Nice touch.Parking is a bit tight, but worth the effort. The patio looks like it will be a hit in the summer.I will be back when in the area. There are two other restaurants that hopefully are as good as the Roadhouse.“

Lots of regulars who are friendly.Only downside to this place is the washrooms are down in the basement which makes it more difficult for people with mobility issues, or lazy people like me.Nice place to go to for a quick beer and a snack or a full meal.“

“This was nearby to a hotel we were staying and this was the closest and fastest option for lunch. Very reliable and fairly good option for a vegan or even a vegetarian.The burger meal when ordered on the app/CAA/Scene+ the meal becomes reasonable priced.The burger was made quickly. When there two meals purchased we tend to order one fries and one with onion rings. Top your burger with onion rings and it just like a gourmet burger.The fries, onion rings and of course the burger well made and topped just the way we like it.Vegetarian options: Veggie Burgers, fries a few desserts, fries, onion rings etc are vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: The burgers can be made vegan by avoiding cheese and mayo based sauces“

“First time at somewhere dine bar! We were a large group of 12 and we were given a dining area in the back as there was another corporate party in the front. It was a little loud since there were two big bookings and it took longer for all our food to come out. Our reservation was at 6pm and although we got drinks right away, we did not get appetizers until 7pm and mains at 7:30pm.Onto the drinks and food! They have some good specials before 7pm - $11 martinis (vodka martini, espresso martini, etc) and $2 oysters. Both were great and the oysters came with a tasty jalapeño sauce.For the main, I got the osso buco ($39) which had braised veal, bone marrow and risotto. The server poured all the sauce over the dish and I realized afterwards that it was just way too much sauce. I would recommend just keeping it to the side and adjust to your liking. The dish was quite tasty and filling, but could have came out hotter.Overall a fine time since we were with good company. Service was attentive as 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)“
