This is right on the bike path, so after passing it a few times I stopped in Today. Surprising broad selection of Ontario craft beer. Eine and drinks are also on the menu. Food was the sandwich and salad staples, but also some korean chicken and an interesting nacho plate. I simply went with the wings with korean bbq sauce. It was excellent. Paired it with a pilsner from Dominion. Worth stopping for a bite or brunch if you are biking along the Rideau River.

It was a beautiful quaint location. Finding parking is atrocious. They share the lots with the Tennis club next door. The food was good. I think a corn blended tortillas would have made the tacos top notch

Cute little place tucked away. Worth the visit. Wings were quite tasty. Fish taco wasn’t bad either.
Service was quick. Food was quick.

The food is very overpriced and very low value. I had the avocado toast for $16, and they gave me one piece of cold bread without butter, topped with 5 pieces of red pepper from a costco jar and 4 tiny slices of avocado. It wasn't filling at all and it didnt tasteright because it was so cold.

We had a similar experience trying out their french toast - skimped on the egg.

Its a shame, because it's a beautiful place and the staff is really nice, but the food is ridiculous.

Butters enjoyed himself even though it was a stormy day!
The staff were lovely, and the covered patio was fantastic!
We had a variety of foods and everyone enjoyed! (Butters had a plain chicken breast!)
The apple blossoms were delightful!

On April 19th 2025 I held a 40th Birthday Brunch for my sister at the Bridge Public House. I have never been here before, but reached out to the restaurant to see if they had a private room we could use. Natasha was extremely helpful via email, but exceeded all expectations when I arrived to set up on the day of the party. Natasha helped me set up, provided me with everything I may have forgotten, including a vase for some flowers and even provided my mom and I with a Mimosa on the house! Natasha was lovely in every way possible, and we were all blown away. The food was great, the room was perfect and we had an amazing time. Definitely recommend!

Food The food was mediocre at best. There are not many choices on the menu. Too many options have beer in them. Everything was underwhelming. My friend's brownie was dry, for example. The fries are very obviously from frozen not fresh. potatoes. They had a bad taste of oil. (You are a restaurant - make your own fries!) The goat cheese burger was ok but dull. It would have been better with sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese. (These weren't on the menu). Trivia Game We went during trivia night which could have been better for a few reasons. - There were only 2 categories and they were targetted at a certain age group - one the host probably fits into. It would have been easy to make the subject one-hit wonders from the 1950s to 2000s instead of making it all about one decade and one type of music. -Some of the questions were based on vulgar songs., so it was totally inappropriate to display the lyrics in a public dining room. -The host laughed too loudly into his microphone disturbing our conversations between questions as he chatted to some tables, He needs to drop the visit the table talk with the microphone as it was just boring and jarring. He also needs to be more aware of the microphone volume. - The third category of "what did I say" was not fun because we tuned him out during that table talk. It's also a little self-important and if you listened it was a boring topic and if you didn't it was a boring topic. Another topic would have been much more fun.. - The end of the trivia game got slow to the point that most of my table/team left before it ended. I noticed most people in the room had left before I left and it was before the game ended. There needed to have been a mention of how the evening would be structured at the beginning. And brief is better than dragged out.

Very accommodating, courteous, and fish and chips are a "must". The manager is excellent and made sure that we were welcomes and well taken care of.

We attended the Seinfeld trivia night. It was enjoyable, entertaining and very well run by the MC. We did not go there to eat so didn't order anything from the menu. They have a good selection of wines and beers, including non-alcohol beers.

Booked a table for two on Valentine's Day. Found out upon arrival that there was an event booked that involved an entire kids camp group. They also had someone with a mic and a loud speaker doing trivia throughout the evening. The staff was also very clearly overwhelmed by the amount of people so service was extremely slow, if your order wasn't completely forgotten like mine was the first time I made it. People were nice and food was good but after all this I would say it's extremely unlikely I would ever come back to this place, which is a shame due to its beautiful location and delicious food...

No parking available on site. Don’t bother going.
