“Coziest spot in Hintonburg. The drinks and food are amazing, the staff are always welcoming. It's my go to spot for date night or drinks out with friends. A few times we've rented out the back of the bar for larger parties, and it's always the most fun.”

“Had a fabulous lunch there while visiting family in Ottawa from Nova Scotia over the holidays. I was wearing a Green Bay Packers hoodie as I do, being a fan and shareholder. One of the two guys serving and running the bar gave me a thumbs up and said they were big Packers fan. The food and service was outstanding, and when the bill was presented to our friend as he requested, he was informed that they weren't going to charge for the coffees for the Packers fans, lol. Simply awesome - highly recommended whether you are a Green Bay Packers fan or not :)”

“The pandemic shutdown has been tough on Queen Street Fare. We stopped in to Q Bar on a Friday night for some pre-dinner drinks. Service behind the bar was first rate. Fast, friendly, funny & charming. They have a nice selection of beers on tap & cocktails. I would ask them top possibly step up their wine game. Selections are not of superior quality.\n\nThe bar is a perfect place to meet up with friends or make new friends before heading out for dinner. Lots of seats around the bar + a few scattered tables. We want this place to survive !”

“Really excellent food quality and presentation. We chose the winter three-course menu, and I loved everything we ordered. I made the reservation five days in advance, but we were seated in a less interesting hall on the upper floor. The service could also be slightly improved, with servers checking on guests more frequently. That said, the overall experience was very good.”

“We came here with a group to celebrate a birthday. While the restaurant has a great design and nice decor, the overall experience fell short. The music was so loud that we could barely hear each other speak across the table. The service didn't match the level or vibe of the place. Our server didn't introduce herself, didn't ask about any allergies, and didn't recommend any signature dishes. As a result, the timing was totally off — half of the table was already eating while the other half was left sitting with just drinks. The food overall was good. Just a heads up — the Burnt Ends were extremely fatty. On the bright side, the Boyfriend Jeans drink was fantastic and easily the highlight of the night. Highly recommend that one!”

“It’s my go to spot for a special evening. The cozy, intimate, unique cloud-like ceiling is unbeatable. Warning: the cocktails are real and strong here, which is how they should be. An S tier on my Ottawa list. I’ve never had an issue getting a table, but it would definitely be hard with a group larger than 4.”

“We were just there for brunch and we were both disappointed. Brunch back 10 years ago was a buffet - with an omelette station - and choices of fruit, juice, food etxc. Today I ordered eggs benedict - and it was cold - I mean cold - nothing was warm. My husband order an omelette and there must have been a full bag of spinach in it. We both requested no homefries - but it isn't an option - so a total waste of food. The waitress came immediately to fill up our coffee cups - I don't drink coffee and my husband must have decaf. There were no milers on the table - 1 creamer - no spoons to stir your coffee - overall it was very busy but I hope the majority were pleased with their food.”

There was a delightful selection of pastries and 4 types of homemade preserves, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, turkey, ham, sausage, potatoes, cheeses, cereals, yogurt amongst other delightfully items. It was $20 which included your beverage also. I highly recommend this breakfast buffet. 😊”

We went because the the craft beer selection was diverse and different from the norm. We were pleasantly surprised that food offerings. We live in Orleans but we will make the effort to come back because we enjoyed ourselves so much our cheeks hurt!”

“Visited on October 5th. Ordered sweet potato ries with mayo. Attached is a pic of how really few fries I was served. To make matters worse I asked for mayo on the side for dipping. The male waiter said That would cost $1.00. After discussing with the waiter and young male mgr, to clarify that the Taproom does not charge for ketchup, vinegar, mustard, malt vinegar, tartar sauce, HP sauce or even BBQ sauce but they do charge for mayo. This is ridiculous especially when there are six paying customers which left very disgruntled. How much did you make of our table??? Over $200.00. Well four of us decided to return on October 25th. Again waitrer was instructed to charge for mayo, so I opted for blue cheese dressing which wasn't an extra charge. After discussing the mayo charge, which hasn't changed, we were given discount coupons. JC our server was an absolute delight. Professional, obviously experienced and a definite asset to Taproom JC is a keeper. We all said JC is a solid 11. If you could clone her so we have her service standard everytime we visited Taproom we wouldn't go anywhere else. Merci, JC for making my husband's birthday dinner so enjoyable.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon tea. I was sat by a window overlooking the corner of Rideau St., and the table setting was both pretty and classic. The service was excellent, people were friendly and attentive, and the food came in a timely fashion. The sandwiches were all unique, both is appearance and flavour. The scones were exceptional with the mascarpone and jam. The desserts were decorative and delicious. I had a beautiful red coloured tea that had orange and pineapple flavours, the pot was plentiful. I had leftovers to take with me, and I loved the whole experience. I'd definitely recommend this treat.”
