Spin is an upscale bar & restaurant with a splendid array of food and drink, something for every discerning palette. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are superb 👍👍
Spin has been a sanctuary over the past two holiday seasons. My new addiction. Sports on the big screen are a plus. The hotel hosts many hockey teams, incuding World Juniors. The vibe in the bar is lively, eclectic & electric.
Have enjoyed Rum & Coke, Clam Chowder, Mushrooms on Toast, Mushroom Ravioli, Chicken Thighs, Marinated Sicilian Olives, Chocolate Mousse Cake & a Vanilla Sundae. Amazing dishes, service, atmosphere & value.
Was on the floor for a few visits. Had the Mushrooms on Toast on Christmas Day. Hai was a polite, friendly, knowledgeable, discrete & professional server.
We discussed some menu items & it was clear more visits were needed to sample & appreciate the full array.
Was back on Boxing Day 2024. Sat in the same seat with a fine view of the screen.
Hai came by, said hello & brought over my drink order. Locked in the Wild Mushroom Ravioli & settled in to watch the World Juniors
Hai noticed my menu deliberations & provided me with the Breakfast & Lunch Menus. After thorough perusal, resolved to adjust my routines & bicycle over more often. 🚲
Hai came over with the Wild Mushroom Ravioli & placed the dish in front of me with a flourish. Each ravioli fit perfectly on my spoon & was gratefully received & enjoyed. 🍄
Worked my way through the deep dish savouring every slice, puntuated by sips of spiced rum & coke & cheers from the crowd as Canada made big plays & skated to a 3-0 win 🍁
Selected the Marinated Sicilian Olives from the bar snack menu, tangy from the lemon & garlic. 🫒
Topped off the evening with a repeat on the Chocolate Mousse. Wow. An incredible night of dining and sampling.
Chatted with Hai throughout the evening as he made his appointed rounds. Turns out we went to the same post-secondary institutions. He's an Economics major from a family of chefs. He told me of his journey to the Marriot. Wrote down one of his observations ... "your strengths come from your weakness." Hai's a philosopher & a student of his craft.
Noted the Festive Table D'Hôte Turkey dinner on the menu & remarked that stranded travellers looking for some Christmas cheer would be comforted by the tastes & aromas of home away from home for the holidays. Will have to wait until next year to enjoy the pièce de résistance. 🦃🎄
On a recent visit bartender extraordinaire Hawa recommended the East Coast Chowder. Took his advice and enjoyed every spoonful. A soup which is like a meal. Recommended 👍
Was back on New Year's Day 2025 & selected the Chicken Thighs. Hawa affirmed the selection. Every bite was superb. Highly recommended.
Hawa said it was his go-to, along with the Trout. Will be back for that in the near future🎣
Topped off the evening with a vanilla ice cream/chocolate drizzle Vanilla Sundae. Don't think it's on the menu so ask for it.
Will be back to Spin soon & often. A gem in the National Capital 💎
Bon appetite! 🍽🥃🚲

Food was good but the service from Hai was unparalleled. He was personable, attentive and really made my parent’s anniversary a real experience. I can’t talk enough about his phenomenal service and by proximity he made it a great atmosphere to be in. 10/10, two thumbs up, whip cream and a cherry on top, all that and a bag of chips, would definitely come back.

We ordered a stake and she asked if we want shrimp or mushrooms on the side, normally when they ask this it means it's free. What a surprise when we got our bill it's 5$ extra, plus they charged extra for sprinkling water that we didn't order.

I had an amazing breakfast buffet. I loved the fresh smoothie, Starbucks coffee, and homemade parfait. Albert was our waiter and he was friendly and provided excellent service. I would highly recommend.
