I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in Ottawa, but this was one of the most unique, kind, and competent restaurants there is. Thank you to my wonderful server for a wonderful experience. Exceptional.

I would definitely say that the price point for the afternoon tea was disappointing (around $60 per person). For only $10 more at the Fairmont Château Laurier, you receive a wider and higher-quality tea selection, better pastries, a more fitting atmosphere, separate trays per person, and overall more items to taste. It made little sense to me that this high tea was priced almost the same when the quality and service simply were not there, especially considering that one tray was shared between two people while each person was still charged $60.
I would strongly recommend reconsidering this pricing, although I understand that businesses aim to maximize profit. Another point worth noting: sweet scones should be served with jam and clotted cream at the very least.
Overall, the experience did not meet the expectations of a sold-out event at this price point. This was my third visit, and unfortunately my third disappointment with the quality of the food relative to the cost. Additionally, waitress ranting about upper management during the service was off-putting and inappropriate for a high-tea setting.
I hope you will seriously consider this feedback and not view it as a dissatisfied rant.
P.S. I received an email prompting me to share feedback, but I never received a response.

I had the Nashville spiced crispy seitan sandwich and it was unreal!!! If you like spicy order this now! It has quite a kick. So delicious. I will be ordering it again for sure. 5 stars!!!

I just love their vibe, stuffs and obviously duck wings. One of the coolest pub in ottawa. I love their house made tonic and special sauce. I go crazy for that. I will recommend to all of my friends to try them.

Nice cosy spot with unique decor, but the food is not great and the portion is small given the price.
only fulfilling part about the meal was the cornbread, which was large enough.Can’t believe they charge 30 bucks for a leg of chicken and some cornbread and a tiny portion of greens. Definitely not coming back again. Zero value for the money. I had to go to another restaurant for a proper dinner afterwards which never happened before !

Best cocktails I've had in Ottawa, even something as classic as a gin and tonic, they managed to make it special with their homemade tonic. The atmosphere was amazing with the Christmas decorations and the staff was absolutely amazing as well. Great spot for a date or just to have a good time with friends... Not cheap my any means but well worth it

Third time visiting Union Local 613. Overall great experience.

FOOD: The Shrimp & Grits ($32) was fantastic and delicious, and is also very well-priced for the quantity. I would definitely have it again. I previously had their famous Union Fried Chicken ($29) which I really enjoyed.

DRINKS: The Smore Plz ($20) was great.

SERVICE: Our server was friendly and very attentive (e.g., was extremely diligent in filling our water even after we stopped ordering).

AMBIENCE: The restaurant is nice on a regular day but the christmas decor is especially pretty and festive.

NOTE: They do not accept Amex which is understandable but a big sore spot for me.

LOVE their speakeasy in the basement. The vibes are amazing, and the drinks are even better. I requested something seasonal and got a warm apple cider with apple pie flavours. It was AMAZING, and drinks come pretty fast. Their bartender has great creativity and a high level of skill. Cocktails are $15-22 from what I’ve observed, and definitely worth going for.
