“Nous avons pris le service à la chambre et nos repas furent délicieux. Nous étions en famille et les repas enfants étaient tout autant impressionnant. La bavette était la cuisson demandée, tendre et excellente au goût. Burger des bois était divin. La poutine était impressionnante au goût. Le service était rapide et nous avons été biens servis. Nous recommandons à 110% , une belle découverte 👏“

“Nourriture excellente et prix raisonnables. Notre serveur: Cameron, était d’un grand professionnalisme et rapide. Courtois et sympathique. Je recommande vivement.“

“Set menu, 5 course meal, and 5 stars. Each course was delicious. Lovely atmosphere, great service and a wonderful date night by the water.“

“Sa coche très bon wow meilleur service ever !!!“

“La nourriture était excellente aujourd'hui, rien à dire là-dessus. Par contre, le service était assez médiocre. J'attendais parler tout les clients se plaindre sur la terrasse du mauvais service. Attente interminable pour tous. J'ai attendue forever pour un sceau de glace pour mon vin blanc, j'ai eux le temps de finir mon wrap avant qu'elle arrive avec la mayo et mon fils attendait aussi son Ketchup et à fini par manger ses doigts de poulets froid. On avait tous notre lunch, mais pas d'ustensiles, pas de napkins, etc etc etc... Assez ordinaire.“

“Le service est formidable et vos serveurs(serveuses) ont toujours le sourire aux lèvres!!! Je le recommande avec joie“

“I’m giving café escale a 5 star review solely based on the customer service I receive each and every time from Nancy. Management should consider her an huge asset to the business and use her as an example of how all staff at escale should communicate with their clientele.“

“Le meilleur resto-bar sportif du Plateau. 🏒🚨🍔🍻“

“What a pleasure to have been able to reopen the restaurant with you! Everything was perfect and the service impeccable! nice discovery!“

“Miscommunication with one of our 6 dinners, but they were very quick to listen, and correct the error with a change of meal.

It was a very busy dinner time, they did have 6 birthday dinners happening just in our time there.

Thanks, Montana's on Merivale Rd. in Napean! (Server: Rob aka. Party!)“

“Outstanding experience, from the service to the food. I took Istanbul Basha and felt could feed 2 persons, keep up the great work“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is classy. The restaurant was packed and obviously a local favourite. The presentation was beautiful. The beet salad was delicious. Unfortunately I found several chicken bones in my meal. They sort of comped me, but didn’t. This left me with mixed feelings.“

“Thank you Chris for the friendly and great service yesterday, while we celebrated my daughter's graduation from Ottawa U . It was nice to relax and enjoy our delicious food. This is our favorite restaurant.“

“We had a celebration for my mom after she passed just recently with a long weekend approaching we had no idea of who we could get River lounge Catering was recommended to us. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Everybody raved about the quality of service, the food, the display . and their professionalism. For our family they deserve five stars thank you so much. V“

“Simultaneously homely and inventive, this is exactly the kind of eatery we need more of in the world. I had the bento bowl with crispy tofu and it was 10/10 — real ingredients, totally unpretentious, but a satisfying meal at a totally reasonable price. The ice cream chaser somehow was even better. If you live around here, congrats you have won the local restaurant lottery. If not — visit these lovely people and their lovely food when you can!“

“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!“

“Update: We went here for my bday and Anniversary dinner. As always Chef Ryan's food was outstanding. Did an extensive review on trip advisor for our end of May 2026 visit.

The food here is always delicious. Its always a culinary treat for us. Real comforting well balanced food, rich in flavours, perfectly cooked proteins with seasonal ingredients and textural notes to round out the dishes.

Always look forward to our visits here. For us one its one of the absolute best restaurants in ottawa. CHEF Ryan always delivers 🙌 👌 a memorable meal and experience for us.

My wife and I have eaten here on 7 occasions. We really enjoy Chef Ryan's creative, delicious food. We go back every menu change and we have always had great service, a wonderful ambiance and great views of the city. Weve enjoyed dishes of foie gras, scallops, shortribs, pork belly, innovative salads and never has one disappointed. Most importantly however is the excellent quality sourced ingredients and food prepared and expedited with care. See you soon! We highly recommend this restaurant and always tell friends about it.“

“Delicious food with interesting and well-balanced spice mix. Portions are ample, but not excessive, and price-to-food ratio feels fair. The service was outstanding, in the sense that the staff were friendly in a genuine manner. I did take-out, so I can not speak to the quality of dine-in service. The ambiance is fine, the restaurant has the vibe of a place where you would expect a group of Middle-Eastern seniors to hang out and have tea all day, that sort of coziness. Nothing flashy, but completely fine. We’ll be back for sure.“

“Really great place to enjoy awesome food!!! ambiance and service are great 👍 can't go wrong. Bring her there and you are set lol“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life and I’m not kidding. The chef Arup Jana made an off-menu item for us because it was so good I’d contacted him about it (roasted carrot and brie soup, created for a charity event I attended last month). We had soup at the restaurant and also bought several more servings as takeout to bring home. We also tried about seven of their tapas plates and every single one was incredible. Please go to this restaurant.“

“Amazing delicious like home made food, takeout from Uber was packaged perfectly“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“Reynolds has been an amazing breakfast spot for me. I have eating restrictions and they have accommodated my needs. The staff is great and friendly as well.“

“Stop reading this and go. Sooooooo delicious…. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was amazing and the service was among the best I’ve ever witnessed. I’d give 6 stars if I could.“

“Gotta give credit where it is due. I come here very often and have tried many different dishes from their menu. Every single dish I’ve tried has been delicious. They do not disappoint. The service is always great. Thank you guys so much :)“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Just enjoyed a beautiful buffet with a wonderful selection of international dishes, plus scrumptious desserts! The hostess, servers, and chefs were very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend checking out this gem!“

“Cool vibe, great staff, delicious eats, validated parking…nothing but good things to say! Went for brunch today and will definitely be back…looking forward to trying the whole menu!!“

“My husband and I visited the Spin Kitchen bar for drinks to celebrate our anniversary. We came to Ottawa to celebrate. We met some amazing people that were also visiting. It truly was a great evening and the staff are very friendly and social.“

“Especial thanks to Chef Dave for the delicious food and the morning guy server who is helpful and hands on. Hands down to the mouthwatering food and delicious. above and beyond my expectation of the food and customer service. highly recommended 5/5 .“

“This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just dropping by for the view. The marina is well-kept, and the sunsets over the water are gorgeous. I like how the clubhouse has decent food and a casual patio. Downsides? It’s not super beginner-friendly unless you’re joining a program, and parking can be tight during events. Still, it’s a solid spot to unwind by the water or get out on a boat.“

“I usually order the steak. But the onion rings have been terrible lately. Can you go back to the original way. Or give French's fried onions please.“

“One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in Ottawa. Everything was exceptional - the food, the pacing of dinner, the service. Phil was our waiter and made our visit more than just a dinner, it was an experience. Very highly recommend“

“Always receive great service when going for lunch or diner. Special shout out to Rick in the bar. Last night the server was great, real friendly and the service was excellent even though the place was very busy. Overall, great staff, great food !“

“As a Marriott Bonvoy member for the price of buffet, when staying at hotel, especially with automatic espresso machines charging extra for espresso or cappuccino is absolutely ridiculous, especially when it comes out of a machine...Westin give your head a shake.“

“A wonderful Friday night experience celebrating a friend’s birthday. Beautiful, relaxing and cosy ambiance, with friendly and prompt service by Luanne. The mixologist really knows what she’s doing with the handcrafted cocktails and each drink was served in just the perfect glass. Charcuterie and mezze platters were unique and delicious. A fantastic spot for date night, solo dining or with a crowd for happy hour.“

“We had a great experience at this restaurant. The service was very personal and the food was exceptional, from the quality of the ingredients to the plating and the taste. We felt this restaurant offers a really great value compared to other less innovative and impersonal restaurants available nowadays. Thank you for an especial dinner experience.“

“Went to celebrate my birthday what a great choice. The service was excellent, The food was beautiful presented and the taste was amazing. Not our first visit and won't be our last.“

“Awesome space for group events!“

“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Gyneya and the entire team at Lago! Every single staff member we interacted with was kind, positive, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. From FOH to BOH, the entire team was such a pleasure to work alongside and operated like a true well-oiled machine - always ready to jump in and lend a hand wherever needed.

The venue itself is also beautiful, with modern, elegant design details and the most lovely setting right by the water.

As a wedding planner, the team behind a venue makes such a difference in the overall experience, and working with people who genuinely prioritize service, hospitality, and collaboration means SO much. Gyneya and the Lago team absolutely delivered. I would happily work alongside them again and again! :D“

“Excellent food drink and service“

“It's also another North American diner still thankfully in existence. Large portions, a lot of potatoes and freshly brewed coffee need nothing else.
And best part is it's 24/7.
I only gave it a 4 star not 5 because of its fried stuff. Whoever is in charge of frying is just overdoing it. Form fries to taters everything is just a step away from getting burned.
Other than that eggs, sausage, pancakes everything were great.“

“Excellent food and vibe. Perfect date night for me and my wife!“

“neat, kind staff, good atmosphere“

“This restaurant is a gem! From the moment you are greeted, to the on going service, to the excellent food, it is nothing short of perfect. The waitresses were polite, attentive and accommodating. I asked that the Franco pizza be made into a calzone with some added ingredients. No problem! It was prepared to perfection and brought out pipping hot, which is an added bonus. What a great experience!!!“

“Nothing bad about this place! Staff were nice and efficient. Food portions were generous. Pricing was appropriate. Food tasted great, all our meals were made correctly and each with excellent care for plate appearance! Amazing place to go for breakfast!“

“Wonderful fondue in the winter!“
