“ordered take away, bbq beef, chicken kastu and crispy shrimp. food was excellent, the worker was super kind, food was fresh. it came with tons of food said to feed 4 but we could definitely get more meals out of it.“

“I can not emphasize enough how there are eating establishments, restaurants, GREAT restaurants & then there is Harmon's. You & your guests do not go for a meal at Harmon's, you go for a service & meal EXPERIENCE! From the moment you visit the specialty meats shop to being greeted & seated to being treated like a most valuable guest to the meal including a fantastic, not to miss dessert, this is beyond outstanding in every way. 3rd straight year for our wedding anniversary and we will return without question.“

“The place is really small! Not suited for a large group. Got seated outside. A little noisy with all the foot traffic and cars.

Food was really good! Got JJ noodles and it was really good. Good portions. Could have used more pork. Also got the whole chicken (snow cheese) and it was really good as well. Nice and crunchy! Would have liked some more sauce with it or to dip on the side. And could have used more mu or radish pickles.

Service. Unfortunately it was really busy for Tulip Festival weekend. And it was quite a wait for the food to come.

There was one young waitress who was really friendly and bubbly that kept us entertained/engaged. Don’t get her name.

Would go again!“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food and service. Don’t miss out on this gem if you are visiting Ottawa!!“

“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.“

“Unpretentious, unique menu, great service & great people!“

“My new favourite wine. Steak was done amazingly.“

“Unic atmosphere, great food, good variety of booze and fantastic service! Highly recommended!“

“I tried their new recipe bun Bo hu, it is really tasty. I even finish all soup as well. It is spicy but really good. My husband tried their passion fruit iced tea and black pepper beef tender rice. He likes it too. Will definitely come back. The service is good!“

“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.“

“Nice place yummy food I love seafood“

“Ordered on skipthedishes to a clients house at my very serious blue collar job. Me and crew chief ate in the car but ran into an issue - it was delivered without any cutlery or napkins. We ended up ripping up the containers and using them as spoons. We made a mess but it was delicious. I just got back from Thailand a couple months ago and I can say this rivalled some of the food I had there. Really quite good“

“Love the new renovations!“

“The keg is great, perfect for that romantic supper. Excellent food.“

“Had a great night celebrating my husband’s birthday there. Amazing waiter Bob, had him before. Super nice. Made the time even more great. We will for sure be back! Great food too!“

“Excelente servicio, muy rico 100% recomendable“

“Once again they knock it out of the park. Me and my friend came in for dinner and ordered the general toa with beef & veggies. It was delish. And don't get me started on the portions. The staff was super friendly and served us very well. If you're looking for a little gem of a restaurant I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't. Enjoy“

“Really Nice Job, everything was just perfect, 13yr Anniversary! Greek/Lebanese waitress was amazing and professional and so fast! ....sorry we forgot your name. Food was top notch, complements to the Chef and Sous Chef. Steak cooked perfectly😋😋 Had a bad experience before, but after this we will be back. Thank you to the team at Huntmar! 5*“

“great food great taste very nice people 😀 👍“

“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.“

“Authentic non hyped sushii. The other places are not quality oriented the way Genji is.“

“I had an amazing experience at Popeyes! The food was absolutely delicious – the crispy chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. The biscuits were warm and buttery, and the sides, especially the Cajun fries and mashed potatoes with gravy, were so flavorful. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was correct and served promptly. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. It’s definitely my go-to spot for fried chicken and comfort food. Highly recommend!“

“Un brunch du dimanche en amoureux absolument parfait ! 🥂 Fruits de mer frais, ambiance conviviale avec musiciens et, belle surprise, un délicieux rosé sans alcool qui a fait mon bonheur. Je recommande vivement“

“I came here by mistake with my 4-year-old son. He chose a kids’ meal with chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink, and I ordered a meal for myself. The food arrived very quickly, hot and tasty. My son really loved the place and the food — and that’s the most important thing to me.“
