“Excellent food and service! I like being able to share the plates and try a little bit of everything. Nicholas was really amazing in his knowledge of the wines and really captured my taste. A very nice addition to the Byward Market. I really like the cozy booths as well.Definitely recommend.“
“Will Give This Place A Second TryRecently attended this place to celebrate a birthdayFoodCharcuterie plate for an appetizer - nice selection of cheeses from Quebec; portions were small but adequate; a good olive would have made this plate even betterCiabatta - served warm with olive oil and gastriqueNote: bread is not complimentaryBraised beef short rib - enjoyed the vegetables the chef chose to accompany the beef - potato, mushroom and broccoli - my favourites; enjoyed the beef, it was tender; in terms of flavour, the demi-glace was lacking; I definitely could not taste the horseradishDessertHad the butter finger dessert based on the description of another reviewer; it was OK, too sweet for my liking; would not have againCocktailDeep Thoughts - deliciousAll plates were nicely presentedServiceAttentive but not intrusive, just how I like itAtmosphereNice decor, tableware, furnitureOverall good experience, I'd consider coming back for brunch; it was noteworthy that our table did not have any salt or pepper, nor was any offered“
“Dining here was an absolute pleasure, with an ambiance that sets the perfect stage for a memorable meal and a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. There was a slight mishap with our order, but the way the staff handled the situation showcased their commitment to guest satisfaction. Each dish we tasted was a testament to the chef's skill, blending taste and presentation seamlessly. Despite the brief confusion, we left with full bellies and happy hearts, planning our return.“
“It's as simple as this; You don't get a better example than this of a young man living his passion and doing the very best he can to build a strong business with a happy customer base.Watching him come up from an older rented truck to getting his very own truck, a really nice one at that. He's doing everything right.JJ is the nicest guy, his ribs are great, his fries are great, his prices are great, his attitude and service are great.You can't do better than to support this guy, and you'll love the food.“
“We were immediately struck by the cozy and welcoming ambiance of this restaurant, complemented by a menu rich with appealing options. A small error with our order was swiftly addressed by the attentive staff, ensuring it didn't mar our dining experience. The flavors and presentation of the food were simply exceptional, highlighting the chef's talent and attention to detail. This minor issue did little to detract from our overall enjoyment, solidifying our plans to revisit.“
“The setting/atmosphere of this restaurant is romantic, quaint, and comfortable while also trendy.The staff was welcoming, and informative of menu items and wine selections.Food was ON POINT!! So good, flavours were amazing, portion size was perfect, and presentation was gorgeous.This restaurant is a great spot for a romantic, intimate date night or for friends to get together. Highly recommended!“
“After seeing so many positive reviews about Maple Delight, I ordered the honey garlic chicken delight tonight and it was delicious. It tasted very artisan, in comparison to the frozen pizza taste you often get from some places, and even my two year old (who doesn’t really fancy pizza) downed a couple of slices.The breaded wings were also pretty good and the service was amazing, as my food was delivered despite some crazy weather outside.I’ll definitely be getting pizza here again and will recommend Maple Delight to anyone who asks.“
“My recent visit to this restaurant was absolutely wonderful! The ambiance was elegant and sophisticated, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The menu offered a tantalizing selection of dishes, each one bursting with flavor. The attentive service added an extra touch of hospitality to our evening.“
“Stopped by this place around midnight, was visiting from Texas and heard they had a good poutine. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The pontine was amazing, and I love how the gravy is mushroom based, I would love to have thicker fries in a poutine, rather than the thinner cut fries they serve, but it’s still a pretty good serving. The atmosphere is very appealing for a place that’s open 24/7, would definitely come back here!“
“Talk about stumbling upon a culinary gem! We discovered this restaurant by chance and couldn't have been happier with our find. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the menu was filled with mouthwatering choices. We ordered a bit impulsively, which led to a small delay in getting our food, but once it arrived, it was worth the wait. Every dish was a flavor explosion, and we found ourselves eagerly devouring each bite. Despite the hiccup with the timing, the friendly staff made us feel right at home, and we left satisfied and already thinking about when we could return for more.“
“The experience was excellent, the wine pairing outstanding and the different texture, taste and visual presentation of each tasting beyond our expectation of fine dine. Superb. Our thanks to the chef and his team and the entire staff. You have made the evening memorable.“
“My friend and I were out for a long walk today and we decided to stop by Safia for bite to eat. From the moment you open the door, the aroma takes your breath away, and the staff so friendly! We both ordered the beef wrap with vegetables and a touch of hot sauce. We also ordered some samosas and got a free mandazi to taste. The food was absolutely delicious and reminded us of home, Tanzania and Kenya. We will be going back for the ugali and other dishes. They also serve, homemade chai. The portions are great as well. The two young gentlemen, who served us were friendly and kind. Safia restaurant on St Laurent /walkley location is a hidden gem I highly recommend you try!“
“Mr. Fez in Ottawa is my go-to spot for shawarma, and let me tell you why. First off, you get bang for your buck - the portions are huge and the prices are fair. And the folks there? They're top-notch, always friendly and quick with a smile. The vibe inside is just right, cozy and laid-back, perfect for kicking back with friends. But let's talk taste - every bite is a flavor explosion, seriously good stuff. Mr. Fez isn't just any shawarma joint; it's where great food, awesome service, and cool vibes come together for a darn good time.“
“Definitely worth stopping by! Food was delicious - Best eggs benny I've had in a while and their home fries are the perfect mix of crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Service was also excellent. They are very attentive and nice.“
“A visit to this restaurant is a must for culinary enthusiasts, thanks to its inviting ambiance and an array of sumptuous dishes. We did face a slight delay with our order, but the staff's professionalism and warmth in managing the situation were commendable. The quality of the food, characterized by its superb flavors and artful presentation, was an absolute delight. This brief inconvenience did little to detract from an otherwise perfect dining experience, leaving us looking forward to our next visit.“

“Cameron at the bar was amazing. Great customer service with a smile. Never had to ask him to fill up my water. He knows how to anitcipate a guests needs and is there even before you realize you need anything. Moxies..Keep this guy around forever. Great Job.“
“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!“
“We went on a Sunday morning and had a great time! My friend showed up just after 9.30am and got the last 3-person table without having to wait. The space is fairly small and there are often lines outside.We got mimosas, crispy cigars, shakshukas (mine had feta), the classic breakfast, and ashta pancakes. I didn't have coffee, but others said it wasn't very strong.Crispy cigars were delicious - delicately crispy outside and creamy inside, with a refreshing dip. I've never had a shakshuka before and found it tasty, especially with the bread, though it was more soup-y than I expected. The pancakes were also great, with a flowery cream on top.Would go back just for the crispy cigars! (In fact strongly considering just grabbing an order of those for takeout the next time I pass by.)“
“Izabela was our server and was absolutely amazing. She was super kind and attentive! In a world full of restaurants that seem to be all the same, Izabela really made our experience stand out! Also she had the same glasses as my brother which was pretty cool.“
“Dining at this restaurant was an absolute delight! The ambiance was elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special meal. The menu featured a mouthwatering selection of dishes, each one more tempting than the last. The attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.“
“We celebrated my friends birthday there this past weekend and everything was amazing from drinks to food to service. The host station upon entrance, you were greeted with a friendly smile and a have a great night everytime you entered or left the building. The atmosphere was off the charts from music , to lighting to floor lay out. Camille I believe his name was our server and he was knowledgeable, fun, pleasant and efficient ! I am not from the area but if and when I return I will certainly be back ! 5 stars !“
“From the initial email request to telephone conversations, the staff at Reggae Rooster helped my with a small catering inquiry. We just finished eating and wow! the food is just amazing. We ordered Jerk Chicken, Beans/Rice, Curry Chickpea and patties. Everything was delicious and really filling.Highly, HIGHLY recommend.“
“The food was good. But to pay 55$ for a filet mignon and nothing else in the plate was weird to me. Had to pay 9$ for a baked potato as an extra.The server was very nice and she made us feel comfortable with 3 young kids. We never felt like it was an issue.“
“A special thankyou to the entire staff at Next for a wonderful meal and fantastic dining experience. We celebrated our daughters birthday yesterday and our experience was top notch. A very special thankyou to Barb who served us and made our evening exceptional, i can't say enough about her wonderful personality and attention she offered our family. We will see you again !“
“We live in Kanata, so naturally we were nervous about whether the amazing food that Brassica provides would survive the journey home for a special Valentine’s date night meal after we collected it. We needn’t have worried, it was all perfect and the flavours and wine paring were spot on! So much food we could barely move! Our young son could smell it and he came down saying it looked delicious too. We are also looking forward to enjoying the pantry items we picked up too.“
“Our server Regan was so present, and helpful and just a great waitress. She also seemed to have a good handle on art, we were discussing it and she had some great insights ---- this girl is not just someone who serves you food, she served us on art knowledge.“
“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.“
“Great pub. My fiancée and I have been travelling around Canada and we're looking for somewhere to watch the rugby world cup. O'Gradys had it on and we really enjoyed our visit. Food was great as was the beers. And the company we met there was even better. Would definitely recommend!!“
“This cozy coffee shop is perfect for both brunch and breakfast. You've got the choice of picking from a menu or diving into a buffet. The buffet includes a mix of exotic and local fruits, various breads ready for toasting, waffles, pancakes, yogurts, muesli and more. Plus, there's a cool spot where you can customize your own omelet. While it's not huge, the variety is pretty decent. On the menu side, you'll find both sweet and savory dishes. You can tell the ingredients are very fresh and of good quality. And for coffees, they offer plant-based milk alternatives, which is great. It would be even better if they could expand their vegan options a bit more.Vegetarian options: Avocado Toast, yogurt bowls, waffles, cereals, smoothies, virtually anything except for the meat that's offered at the buffet“
“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.“

The menu offered a delicious variety of dishes, each one more tempting than the last. The attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience.“
“REALLY great food! So many different comfort food options, a food special every day of the week and the kitchen is open until 1am every night. Free entertainment most days of the week including some of Ottawa's best local bands, 2 karaoke nights, trivia and paint nights. Local artists' work featured on the walls every month. 24 beers on tap. Check it out!Vegetarian options: Veggie Chili, Portobello Wrap, Hummus and fresh made flatbread, Veggie BurgerWheelchair accessibility: There's about a 1½ inch lip at the front door that most wheelchairs can easily get over. The washrooms are a tight squeeze as it's another old building on bank street.“
“I want to give this a 5 star because in fact the food was excellent, the service impeccable but if the management is reading this, please note that the higher tables are awful. You can’t move your chair forward because you’ll « slip off » if that makes any sense. Still would go back but would prefer not to sit on those tables. Thanks!“
“Been here many times and it is always amazing! It is hard to find a place that is so dedicated to serving delicious fresh food made from scratch. Fish is giant and absolutely amazing, with homemade batter and fresh cut fries for a great price. Strongly recommend!!! Everything’s homemade, homemade coleslaw, bread, burger patties, the list goes on. Staff are exceptional and we always have a great time at sonny’s:)“
“I've visited Sir John three times so far, and it's become my go-to spot for gatherings with friends. The pub offers a great variety of beers and drinks to choose from, ensuring there's something for everyone. The staff are incredibly friendly and contribute to the welcoming vibe of the place.As for the food, it's simply delicious. Sir John Pub delivers on all fronts – great drinks, tasty food, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended for a good time out with friends!“
“Awesome. Bartenders server and manager who accomdiat3d us on a Saturday might for 14 people then last minute we added 5 more and he still arranged a table for us. Bartender suggested beers were all great ... had a 1664 with a shot of friuli awesome suggestion.“
“Great experience here tonight! They accommodated a late booking for our team for a pizza night after our game with same day notice. We pre ordered pizza and everything was ready minutes after we got there. Service was quick and well organized. Pizza was excellent, drinks were cold and they help us with splitting our bills which was extremely helpful. Space that they gave us was perfect and allowed the team to spread out a bit while parents visited. Really appreciate the great service and food! Thanks to the staff and management!Dietary restrictions: Accommodated some gluten allergies in our group“
“Overall, very good restaurant. We went here for takeout a few times. The juicy biggie burger was absolutely delicious and very filling.On top of that, the service for takeout was spectacular. There was an order mixup and the employee did everything to make it right. Kudos to this place. Will definitely be coming back and recommend you to as well“
