“Suki, Thank you for the warm welcome and great service today. This is the second time I bring my co-workers to Mill St Pub, not only for the great beer and food, but the wonderful sercice which is always done with a smile and the occasional hug ;-) looking forward to returning soon. Hope you will still be there - I have a feeling the place would not be the same without you ;-) p.s. Amy... thank you so very much for accommodating us despite my booking on the wrong day, especially at this busy time of the year. We will return, that is for certain. Merry Christmas to you and your staff.“

“I had the chance to experience Duke Fine Foods yesterday at a real estate office grand opening and I was very impressed with the assortment, also the presentation was on point. And I did hear that the prices were really good And I was actually overly impressed with the value. I will be looking to use at the next catered event.“

“My wife and I visited this ramen shop last May or June, around 5 to 6 p.m., and had a terrible experience. The pork belly was incredibly hard and smelled awful. To make matters worse, our female server completely ignored us, even though there were only two other tables and the staff was chatting nearby. It left us feeling pretty disappointed after dinner.

Today, we decided to give it another chance, thanks to their event. This time, the quality and freshness of the ramen were much better, including serving quality. I think the owner or manager should visit more often to ensure the service quality stays high.“

“Discovered this restaurant today and happy we did. The food was excellent, great experience allowing us to cook our meal while chatting. Attentive service, excellent quality. A lot of food in the options. We really loved the experience and will definitely return.“

“Best shawarma in Ottawa. I recommend also fries and chicken with special sauce on top.“

“Such a gem of a spot! Spark is our go to for post-work brews. Beautiful space makes for a great option for date night too. Pizzas are sooooo good ❤️“

“Wonderful, inclusive folks! Very nice staff, who were very helpful. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but it was really great that they made sure they rented an accessible portable washroom for their large market event. As I was sporting crutches (I recently broke my ankle), it was a total life saver that I didn’t need to take the stairs! Not sure if the port-a-potty is an “always” thing, but just the fact that they had it for their street market when so many folks wouldn’t even think of it made me grateful. Thank you for being the loveliest hosts! I’m not a coffee or tea drinker, but I’ll certainly tell all my friends about how kind the staff were!“

“Great place for a top quality coffee or latte and awesome pastries.“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“I was very impressed by the drinks, very very yummy! The cheesecake was also amazing. The decor was fresh and modern and pretty. Not as impressed with the tiramisu, which was an odd kind of foamy/gelatiny something. And they really need to get a handle on the amount of plastic waste - even the plastic forks were wrapped in plastic; each cake slice wrapped in plastic; plastic plastic plastic. At least find something biodegradable, there's things on the market now! I would definitely go again but I'd bring my own mug and fork.“

“Absolutely incredible customer service and home delivery. Well Done!!“

“Super fun ambiance - cozy hidden artsy space with comfy couches in behind. GF and veg options and community special evening activities. Great find and happy for this addition to the neighborhood!“

“First time at this wee restaurant, but it won't be our last! We enjoyed the Wellington Roll, Atlantic salmon sashimi and Maguro tuna sashimi SO much that we had to order it again! Staff are friendly and efficient, and if you like cats, you'll love the cute decor 😸! While you're in the neighborhood, take the time to walk around a bit; there's a lovely silver & gemstone jeweller just a few doors down ...“

“Awesome atmosphere, great staff, great spot to enjoy a pint of Kilkenny“

“Del Piacerre was absolutely amazing, it was a bit slow at first but I’ve got to say we were done our food in like 30 minutes. The food was so good. The server even offered us a half and half pizza so it wouldn’t be so much. I loved it“

“good and healthy food.“

“Great spot in Ottawa, the grilled cheese was absolutely amazing 👏 🤩“

“This milk tea is an absolute game-changer! The balance between the fragrant tea base and the creamy milk is spot on—light enough to not feel heavy, but rich enough to satisfy that craving. I opted for 50% sugar, and it’s perfect, with just a hint of sweetness that lets the natural flavors shine through.

The boba is cooked to perfection—chewy, bouncy, and full of that classic sweetness, while the grass jelly adds a lovely refreshing twist. It’s become my daily ritual; sipping on it feels like a little luxury, whether I’m rushing to a meeting or unwinding at home. Hands down, the best milk tea I’ve had in ages—10/10 would recommend!“

“I’m not a regular customer since I don’t live in the area but I sometimes deliver kitchen items for them. I’m not sure if he’s the owner or part of the management but the care he shows to delivery drivers is beyond words. He’s by far my biggest tipper. We rarely ever see tips like this. His generosity truly lifts our spirits and makes our day every time he places an order. Thank you so much for your kindness. Five stars is not enough for your gesture but I really thank you for your generosity. May god bless you!“

“Best pizza ever!! My favourite!!“

“Great spot on the uOttawa campus. If you're looking for affordable and diverse beer list and delicious coffee this the place for you. Music is always on point and staff is awesome. I always get the club with a chai latte. 100% recommend!!!“

“We had a lovely drink today enjoying the sunshine. Jojo was super friendly and attentive. The buffalo chicken wrap and fries were enough for us to split between the two of us and yummy. Thanks Jojo!“

“Hey there! We ordered for the first time last nite and everything was great! We both got the Club wrap which was very fresh and tasty:). We also ordered a small roasted potatoes with garlic sauce...so yummy!“

“We always get one when me and my husband go down town“

“This was the first day of our first trip to Ottawa, and we picked the best spot for our first lunch. We came here because of the history and the bonus was the best fries I remember having. Fresh cut, cooked to perfection, generous portions and two dips. Ice tea was top notch. There is a fun easy-going casual atmosphere, manned by a friendly helpful staff. Absolutely recommended.“

“Stopped in for ice cream on this sunny day. Service was great and the ice cream was delicious! It’s nice to see some classic flavours and a few different ones if you are feeling a bit adventurous. Can’t wait to go again!“

“Firstly, the best Pizza in Ottawa's Byward Market with top-notch service 👌 (Thank you John and Ibrahim) Highly recommended Kev 😀“

“We went in a class trip to the playground, and called ahead to let them know the students would be buying ice cream at the Beach Shack. It turned out to be a rainy day and they opened for the students so that the students wouldn’t be disappointed. They were friendly, kind and helpful to the students and we appreciated the fantastic service. This is the second time we have taken our students here and would highly recommend the Beach Shack.“

“Such an amazing place, and the best after a day at the bmx races . RSDRC bmx team loves it and appreciates having them on the team.“

“I was here from Hamilton staying at the Hotel 6.9-6.11. All three cooks here very fast and they hustle to make sure you are satisfied. I was especially impressed with Rob who treated all tourists with respect and accomodated their Vegan needs. He made special accomodations for them. Side street parking is closeby and the place is very safe and clean. Food is fresh . Locals must pop in . I wish we had this place in Hamilton with a nice chill atmosphere. No rushed feeling to leave. Thanks !“

“From Toronto but this place is much better than Cypress Garden; likely the best chinese I’ve had in Ottawa. Great portions and the fried rice was actually amazing I was shocked, wings were great too. Only thing I wouldn’t get again was the General Tso Chicken bc it was not crispy. Amazing fried rice“
