Great view of the market and even better cocktails.

I was skeptic to go there at first after reading few bad reviews but I’m glad I did. The view was amazing, the service was fast and good, and the food was pretty good and decent size.We had from the starter menu the calamari and truffle fries, they were very good and filling. The drinks were good as well.

The service is great, the views are great, but the cocktails are overpriced and not sure if we even got alcohol in one of ours. 19$ and it tasted like watery pineapple juice on ice :( it was my moms birthday night out and she was pretty disheartened. The other one which I got, the pink marg, was pretty good, our server was very kind and quick. Aesthetic of the place is nice.

York on William, thank you so much for an unforgettable night. It's been a whole week since I've visited and I still can't forget the amazing service Robynne provided me and the party I was with. It was my first time going here and definitely won't be my last. Cheers.

We had an amazing birthday drinks and apps on a Friday evening on the rooftop. The service was wonderful, the drinks and food tasted lovely and our server Robynne was extra wonderful and attentive. Would definitely go back!

Had a lovely evening in the rooftop patio during the scorching heat wave tearing through Ottawa. We ordered a spread of appetizers to share and everything was stellar (the fries & champagne were particularly luxurious, and the oysters tasted incredibly fresh)!Our patio experience was a definitively positive one, and we were able to enjoy our drinks with a great view of the Byward Market. Robynne, our server, had a great rapport with us and made the night feel really special!

Review is for the rooftop. Drinks were overpriced for their quality. during a flash storm, I moved my seat to get under the umbrella overhang. Staff was incompetent and left our table sopping wet after the storm so I couldn't return to my original seat and couldn't put anything down on our table.

We dealt with the worst waitress we have ever seen. She was awful to us. As soon as we arrived, she said we do not have beers anymore. Is there any pub or bar in this world which runs out of beer? Anyways, we brought a friend with us from outside Canada, and we regret bringing her there.
Had a few late afternoon cocktails on this beautiful rooftop patio. Drinks were great, service was pleasant. A nice way to spend a sunny afternoon!

Disappointment all around. Don’t go here. Go somewhere else. Caused my friend an allergic reaction and took little to no responsibility for it.

I really wanted to like this place, but was very disappointed. The drinks were nice and our waitress was a sweetheart, but some of the staff walk around like they own the place and are very rude to customers and coworkers. Saw this happen twice and both times it was a white server being rude to a black coworker. I hope they do something to fix this because the management and service are clearly lacking.

At 10:15, you own a business in hearth of ottawa and you turn client around saying its weekday ( thursday june 9) an you are trying to serve the client you have & you won't take more? Let's lease it someone else who likes to turn this corner around!

I’ve been to York on William a few times now and I’m always very impressed with the service. The staff is always very friendly and give me great suggestions. The waitress Molly was amazing, (make sure to ask for her)! I’m always very satisfied with the drinks and the bartender Brandon is amazing! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking a fun night out or just a casual dinner.
Great view from the roof ?
