Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and kind staff. It’s a small and cozy place that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Cocktails were great. Friendly staff and good service. Only complaint was the cheese board we ordered was the saddest cheeseboard I’ve ever seen. I’ll let the photo speak for itself.

Trio is a hidden gem in Westboro. I’ve lived here for a couple years but just discovered it a year ago. It’s my go to spot to bring friends from out of town. The food is the best in the neighborhood. Definitely try whatever is on special - it never disappoints!P.s service is great, especially our server Jenna was very attentive and friendly.

Great spot for drinks and snacks.John is your man, he holds it down and sometimes even as a 1 man show. All of the cocktails are handcrafted, no premix.. just pure love.The food menu is small and tasteful - designed for a quick and comforting snack. (please bring back the salami/tomato/cheese sammy w house ketchup!!)People complain that outings are expensive since COVID... keep in mind that rent and operating costs always increase and never decrease... this place is fairly priced for a classy lounge in the middle of Westboro Ottawa.Stay amazing guys :)

TL:DR; Great ambiance, friendly staff, allergy friendly, not as great as advertised by others. Not bad at all! Just not the best in town.Decided to try something new for my birthday dinner after reading about their charcuterie board online. "You have to try the big one" it said.. ok, we'll switch it up this year because Reddit said so!First thing you notice after you walk through the velour curtains (yes, read that in Zap's voice) is the art on the wall and the bar in the distance. It's clearly Westboro chic in here and we are not chic people lol. One guy running the show who is just amazingly friendly and efficient. Wish I'd have gotten his name to give him props. Let's call him Walter.Anyway, I'm here for the food so my wife gets a drink which I'll spare the review of but she said it wasn't super strong. We order the big $36 charcuterie board and kung pao brussel sprouts because that's what's GF that isn't also on the board. After about 20 minutes of chatting, the food comes and it smells awesome. Walter walks us through the board - a couple of pieces of capiccollo, two small smoked Gouda wedges, a ? cornichon (yes a pickle) on some mustard, new potatoes in some curry sauce, apricot hummus, a couple of other little things and a bowl of gluten free crackers by our request. Now, when I hear charcuterie board, I think meat and cheese and I must admit hindsight is 20/20 so I wasn't as disappointed as the time as I am now thinking back. I wish there had been more meat and cheese. That said, everything on the board was very good and the best by far - this is going to sound dumb - was the mustard. I do have to give major props for the sprouts - they were amazing and spicy to boot. I would have those again in a heartbeat.Anyway, I'm glad we went; I'm glad we experienced it because it was truly an experience. I don't know that I'd go back but it was worth the visit. Board, sprouts, one drink, tax and tip was about $80-90. Westboro chic.See you on the road.Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free options. Knowledgeable.

Great sharing plates and service. Atmosphere was good, however table was right under a speaker and the music was very loud.

One of my favorite restaurant in the city, I’ve been coming here for at least 7 years and it never disappoints. I love bringing people from out of town. The music and art on the walls that you can purchase make this restaurant extra special. They have the best cocktails and a great selection of wine. Service is always 10/10 here.You have to get the adventure board!!!They used to have this delicious salami sandwich - wish it was still on the menu.Jenna was fantastic, thanks for taking care ofus. We’ll be back soon☺️

This place is a neighborhood treasure. Hands down, best craft cocktails in town and a rotating menu of perfectly complementary munchies. The staff are always cheerful and glad to see you. The music is always inspiring to conversation and a second or third drink. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

Food tasted alright, quesadillas were dry and meat board was fine. Took over 40 minutes for our food to come out, longest experience at a restaurant I have had in a while. Would recommend for a drink but not a meal.

Saturday night dinner with friends. Drinks were OK but overpriced by a few dollars compared to other local spots that don't use nearly the same amount of ice. Nothing spectacular for $18 per drink. Lamb and perogies were delicious and well priced. Quesadillo was very dry and lacked flavour. Service was very slow and unremarkable.
