“Without a doubt, one of the funnest evenings I’ve had in years. Food and drinks were reasonably priced delicious and well versatile for any pallet. Hundreds of different styles of board games and game consoles to choose from. Enjoy laughing stories and games with up to four people. Definitely would recommend they open more locations across Canada. 🇨🇦“

“On average we get take out from Sula Wok once per week. We love the food and the vibe of the place. (Sula and her gang are also very nice to deal with). I really like the traditional Pad Thai. Recently, Sula asked that I try a slightly new version of the dish (apparently less fishy). Sula asked that I let her know if I liked it or not. While I thought the taste was a little different (maybe not as spicy or “fishy”), I still loved it and will be ordering it again.“

“We’ve visited the Kanata location twice this fall. The service is excellent! We love the cauliflower wings; they are so good! We get half and half because both sauces are amazing. All the food is delicious. The atmosphere is good. Our new favourite restaurant when we are in Kanata. It’s great to have a vegetarian restaurant with so many excellent choices, and healthy too!“

“Truly authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Have tried many dishes, and each one did not disappoint. The staff are amazing and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“One word: WOW!!! We were greeted by the warm and inviting presence of our incredibly attentive server, Shaw. She was beyond stellar, going above and beyond to create a fantastic and personal guest experience. My partner and I dined here for the Valentine’s day special, visiting this spot for the first time - and were SO impressed with the food, drink selection, service, speed of service (!!), and atmosphere. In my opinion, this is the go-to spot for date night in Ottawa. I could not say more than .. total perfection!! We will be returning and requesting a table in Shaw’s section for SURE!!! Thank you to the kitchen team and service staff for an exceptional evening. I have not been this wowed by the Ottawa food scene in a long time. Absolutely visit this spot if you are looking for a welcoming but upscale dining experience. It simply cannot be beat.“

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?! One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!“

“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲“

“Great experience at Lupus while celebrating an important birthday. Refined menu with a palette of dishes offering varied textures and tastes. Superb service. Thanks Graham for a no nonsense, efficient and attentive stewardship of our table. A bit noisy but this was due to some customers not caring about other restaurant’ guests ( a major peeve of mine. Thank you.“

“Excellent service & food 😍⭐“

“The service was top-notch, and the fries were incredibly tasty. I want to extend my gratitude to Lou Jr. for his thoughtful gesture of freshly cooked fries and hot dog. I'm absolutely planning on returning for more! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“As always, a fabulous experience from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Love supporting this family run business that has been a fixture in my hometown for over 30 years. Basil and family - you never disappoint! A great place to celebrate my last birthday of my 40’s (shhh, I kept that quiet). Cheers to you all! ❤️🥂“

“Walked in for a quick bite not expecting much. Walked out with the only disappointment of not ordering more! The best samosas I’ve ever had. They are a must have. Plus the people are so friendly.“

“A truly special place, Best indian food in ottawa. Prepared and served with love. It is rare to feel so good after eating that much food! You can eat this food daily.“

“Had a fabulous lunch there while visiting family in Ottawa from Nova Scotia over the holidays. I was wearing a Green Bay Packers hoodie as I do, being a fan and shareholder. One of the two guys serving and running the bar gave me a thumbs up and said they were big Packers fan. The food and service was outstanding, and when the bill was presented to our friend as he requested, he was informed that they weren't going to charge for the coffees for the Packers fans, lol. Simply awesome - highly recommended whether you are a Green Bay Packers fan or not :)“

“Amazing food at good prices! Makes the drive downtown worth it.“

“Our favourite Vietnamese restaurant on Somerset Street! Every visit is an absolute delight. The service is always fast, warm, and impeccable, and the dishes are consistently delicious and generously portioned. Truly a must‑visit spot that we recommend without hesitation! ❤️“

“Probably the best Mexican food in town!“

“Excellent food, great service and a very cozy atmosphere!“

“The Manx pub is a great place. Not very big, lots of atmosphere. Food is great, large portions and reasonably priced 😁 *****“

“Awesome breakfast. Best in Ottawa“

“Arguable the best pizza I've ever eaten. So good I had to let the owner know. I've tried alot in my lifetime and nothing compared to this spot, its in a bracket of its own.

I tried to buy a coffee cup as a reminder of the spot, I know a coffee cup from a pizza joint, but it was a cool cup. But Eric (the owner) or maybe co-owner, gave me one for free.

As a maritimer visiting ottawa on a work trip, I've heard of the spot and don't get me wrong. I understand people have their views on pizza, but this was light, crust was crispy, and it sit well when picking up a slice.

I tried the deluxe I believe, I wanted to stay on the safe side for a first timer, but I'll definitely be trying more if or when I get the chance to go back.

“What a 'peach' of a place.....wonderful food, such lovely staff and great, warm atmosphere. We were visiting Ottawa from UK and found this 'peach' while walking on a cold evening having arrived at our 'guest house' which turned out to be a horror! We both feel it was worth staying there just to have had two wonderful meals here..the cocktails were fab!! Thank you for lifting our spiritsxxx“

“Had a fantastic time at Bier market! Ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was excellent! Ryann was our server, great personality! Funny, efficient and helpful! really enjoyed our experience and will definitely return!

Thank you Ryann! And yes I’m happy with my haircut hahah“

“We ordered 2 chicken souvlaki plates through Uber Eats and when the order was delivered, there was only 1 plate in the bag. I called the restaurant immediately since the bag had been sealed and not tampered with so it was clear that the restaurant messed up. The restaurant offered to make another plate but unfortunately they don't have their own delivery drivers so we had to drive to them and pick up the other plate. Once we got there, the owner was very apologetic and offered us a free item from their menu and a dessert. This is an example of good customer service. I get that mistakes happen but it's how a business handles their mistakes that makes all the difference. This was handled very well, in my opinion and we will order from Oh My Grill again in the future. By the way, the food was excellent! I have to take the review down to 4 stars because of the fact that we had to drive to pick up the corrected order but otherwise it would have been 5 stars.“

“I love their spring roll and in my honest opinion, it is the best I have ever tasted before. Everybody should try. The ingredients are fresh and there is no greasy after taste. Their spring roll is amazing!!!!!!“

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.“

“Servers can make all the difference when dining out. Destiny, our server, was awesome, providing just the right amount of service without being underserved or intrusive. Destiny was friendly, welcoming and polite, she seemed to really enjoy her job. Best wishes Destiny!“

“Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks for making our trip to Ottawa that much more enjoyable!“

“This is one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Very welcoming staff, excellent quality and portions with affordable cost. Add to this the location, availability of parking, and the cozy atmosphere. 10/10“

“I’ve been coming here at least monthly for the last few years. I’ve introduced so many of my friends and family to this place because it’s absolutely incredible. The food is delicious, the portions are huge and the price is even better! They have the best wonton soup I’ve ever had, and their dry peanut noodles with beef is also amazing. Everything is made by hand and fresh to order too and it reflects in the taste and quality.“

“Great place, top level ingredients. We reserved the spot so no wait.

It's a great place if you have some important guests to treat. The atomosphere is awesome and the dishes are fancy, but not necessarily priceworthy. These premium parts also gonna reflect on the bill.“

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“This place is very good and the sashimi are very fresh“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“量大味道又超级好，值得推荐“

“WOW great food, great atmosphere and most of all our server Kady was phenomenal! Very respectful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. Would definitely recommend this location in Ottawa and ask for Kady!!! 💕 🍹🍸“

“We received a gift card from a family member for $100 USD as a Christmas Present and were excited about enjoying a meal at this restaurant. The gift card was purchased directly from Joey's, not a 3rd party. We went and everything initially about the restaurant was very enjoyable. The food was very good, the service was attentive and we enjoyed our experience until the cheque arrived. When we we presented the gift card (electronically) our server went to speak with a ⁶manager and then returned to inform us that the $100 USD would be honoured in Canadian dollars. $100 USD is worth $144.50 Canadian dollars according to google when checked today. We paid the bill and tipped the service team 22% and left after effectively having $44.50 taken from us and our family member in what felt like to us, theft by conversion. The manager in question did not come to follow up after our expressing our disappointment JOEY's is already a very expensive restaurant. Further, the gift card information indicates that Joey's has US based restaurants. I'm quite sure that Canadian dollar gift cards are not accepted at par in the US. This ruined for us, what was otherwise a positive experience, through what felt like to us, an act of corporate greed and impersonal profiteering. After this experience we will not be back and sadly, I cannot recommend JOEY's as a place for anyone else to dine at. Any company that sells a gift card directly and then fails to deliver full value is patently dishonest, in my opinion.“

“Wonderful food! The chef was very welcoming and also the atmosphere. The place is very clean and everyone is super nice!
We ordered a variety of food and absolutely loved every single one of them ... We got the grape leaves (dolmades) and I highly recommend them as a side dish! Comes with pita and they are very tasty!“

“Everything here is incredibly clean and well organized—even the sauce bottles and utensils are polished. Bún bò Huế is a must-try. It reminds me of when I used to eat Bun Bo Hue in Vietnam 😢 Now I’m craving it and already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!“

“The absolute best of the best!!!! The cocktails were delicious, the tartar was out of this world, the bread, the main meal… so very satisfied!“

“Next Level scones, order a dozen for take out after you eat here and you won't regret it. Who knew scones could be elevated to replace sandwich bread? This witch did, that's who! Friendship is magic? More like missing this place is tragic.“
