“Somewhere is a place everyone needs to go. To be honest the place is beautiful inside. The service was amazing. Now the food.. I started with the shrimp cocktail which I was not a big fan of. I thought oh no not an amazing start. But the wine was excellent. We order the surf and turf. OMG it was amazing just amazing. The flavor the temperature of the food was to die for. Both my wife loved it. We ordered the ore cheesecake for dessert and it did not disappoint. It was a fantastic way to end an amazing anniversary dinner. We definitely will be going back. Thank you Somewhere for everything“

Carleton Grill American • $$
150 Albert Street, Ottawa

“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.“

“There's not much else close by if you are at this hotel complex and it's quite good, The place is a little beat up and every seat in our booth had a visible stain on it, so they are probably due for a refresh. No big deal, food was good, portions maybe a little small. Service was excellent.“
