“We were on the high tables on the bar side. Other than the music with the "base" a little too loud, everything was perfect!The food is excellent. We had the shrimp starter and I had the tacos. We brought fries with their dill mayo, yum! I recommend!“

“I’ve been craving having a thick nicely smoked smoked meat sandwich with cheese for the longest time. So I drove myself finally to Smoky’s and ordered the 7oz on rye with fries and slaw. I must say that my craving was satisfied. The fries were unexpectedly delicious, the slaw juicy, and the sandwich was…amazing…except that…Tammy forgot to add the cheese. I will surely return to get another sandwich soon, this time with two slices of cheese instead of none.“

“First off, service is top notch! No complaints there. I had the smoked meat sandwich, it was just ok, kinda tasted weird, not like smoked meat should taste. My friends took the fish & chip and found it had a really odd taste as well. Not sure what happened, maybe the fridges aren't to proper temps? We never return food to the kitchen for obvious reasons. I don't think we'll be back unfortunately.“

“In the air has become my favourite part of the week (I even re-arranged my work schedule to come here more).The staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I feel more like I'm going to hangout with my friends than just going to do an activity.I've brought many friends and family over the past few months and no one has ever had less than a fun time. Even had my birthday party here with no fuss, a group of 2 or 30 (or more they can handle it)The drinks are tasty, the service is amazing and no matter if you're throwing the knives, axes, or shooting the air-soft guns you'll have the best time.“

“This restaurant was great when Tony ran it. The new owners have taken it to the next level! The food is delicious - the donair meat is juicy and cut thick; combined with their donair sauce and veggies, it all comes together to make their deservedly famous pizza and wraps. And, there is Terry-Lynn - you will be hard-pressed to find anybody who puts in as much heart and love into her food and business as Terry-Lynn ❤️“

“Showed up on the later side on a Sunday, these burgers are worth it. Fries and salad as sides for it being the norm instead of just one or the other, makes for an easy to enjoy late night bite in this cozy watering hole. Beef was genuinely fresh and the burger well topped w ingredients. Good stuff guys!“

“Pretty good brunch place! Ordered the eggs benny, the hollandaise sauce was creamy, the poached eggs were cooked well, and the tater tots were tasty. Staff was friendly and it wasn't overly busy on a Sunday afternoon. Brunch is served until 1:30 pm on weekends and happy hour starts at 3 pm. We went for brunch and stayed for the happy hour!“

“A must in Ottawa!!! Love this place. The decor is great, the food is awesome. Tempura was delicious. Went there a few times and loved it. The mochi deserts with chocolate decoration is a fun thing for kids and adults alike. No MSG in any of the dishes we tried, which is a bonus for my dad whose stomach can't tolerate. Will be back. Keep up the good work. GAMBATTE!“

“This place is truly amazing. The cocktails are so good. If you want something different, they can also create a cocktail just for you. The mixologists are always on point. We always enjoy having some cheese and charcuterie. I had the best sourdough cracker there - like, the best ever.“

“Great food with cheap prices! They were so good we came back the next day for breakfast as well. The service is also very friendly. It seems like the kinda place that has lots of regulars which is always a good sign. Coffee is average but that is the only think they could improve.“

“We came here to try a Filipino restaurant and it did not disappoint! We had the shrimp lumpia, crispy pork Kare Kare, fish-silog, halo halo, and taho. The food quality and portions are good, the price is reasonable, and the staff are very nice. It is in a small location and has a family-owned atmosphere. I recommend this place to have your Filipino food fix!“

“I just had an amazing experience at this restaurant. They were able to give my wife and I a private table completely separate from other dining on short notice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were very respectful of my pronouns and didn’t make any unnecessary assumptions. The prices were very fair for the environment and food. The food was so good I had to order multiple dishes because the menu was too amazing. They even have valet which was very convenient and they surprised me with a happy birthday dessert. I had an amazing experience here and I will be back very often forsure. I highly recommend this place to anyone that likes Italian food“

“My friends were in town and found this little gem... They had already had been in for lunch and we returned again that night for dinner. The food was incredible, it left us amazed at the effort and quality with which flavours were presented. Very reasonably priced for what we received. We will definitely be returning. I absolutely recommend fauna to any foodies or those seeking great food and a change of the monotony of alot of restaurants today.“
“LAGO was absolutely outstanding in every way for our wedding day. We got married on November 4, 2023 and it couldn’t have gone more perfect. Gyneya & her team were so great to work with. She was very responsive to emails answering all our questions, helped us walk through the entire timeline and was there on the big day making sure everything ran smooth. The venue went above and beyond to provide lots of gluten free options for the menu (myself and a few guests have gluten allergies). We had all gluten free or d'oeuvres and they altered the sauce for the main dish to accommodate. They even went out of their way to purchase a specific seltzer when I mentioned that was my favourite drink. All the food and drinks were SOOO good. We did minimal decorations because the venue is beautiful on its own. We have had many guests reach out to us post-wedding to compliment the venue, the staff and the food. We are SO happy with our decision to host our wedding at LAGO and would 100% recommend this venue!“
“One of a kind dive bar & an Ottawa institution. The definitive jaunt for all flavours punk, metal, and alternative music in the Byward Market, with chill vibes and strong anti-establishment spirit. Also the home of some of the nicest people in town.“

“Visited the Elmdale for my first time earlier tonight – what a delightful spot! My date encouraged me to try the Chowder and let's just say it left me WOWder'd – can't forget to mention the Beef Tartare, too. Yum. Our main server was so great, but every server that passed checked on us as needed. Nice to hear local artist Shawn Tavenier do some sweet covers too, really added to the experience. Can't wait to go back for oysters!“

“Went to Chop yesterday evening. Striploin cooked to perfection but waaaaay to salty - salt was the only thing we were tasting! Also, bottle of red wine was too warmed - mostly tasted the alcohol.Service was great, as was the overal atmosphere.So...if I were to return I'd specifically ask for 50% less salt on my steak, and for the bottle of red to be chilled/put on ice. Finally, management should add the year of the bottles in their wine list.“

“My husband quite enjoyed his pork belly club and I would come back for the beet and burrata.Kid-friendliness: We went with our three years old and the server was really nice to him, which made our shy little boy warm up quite quickly. They had a children menu and our son made short work of his two chicken tenders. They brought the plum sauce separately so that we could decide how much to give him.“

“You're looking for the complete package? Excellent food, ambiance and exceptional service, look no further. Just when you thought you couldn't get it all....you can.Come to the Keg Hunt Club and experience the best service by the best dinning room server Christine. If you are lucky enough to have her as your server you will be impressed. Exceptional client interaction, patient and kind. Doesn't rush you through the dinner service and provides suggestions on the various options. If you enjoy actually interacting with others Christine excels in this field. You won't be disappointed she is a pro at providing a positive memorable customer service (PMCE). Thanks Christine.“

“I gave food a 4 star, atmosphere a 4 star but service ? If I can rate higher, I would rate higher than 5 for Martine. She was so patient, took the time to answer our questions and even recommended some delicious options. Give this woman a raise!“

“I am so so happy that we found this place. The food was fantastic, the service (by the owner who was all alone and serving) was wonderful and the atmosphere was on point. My husband and I stopped by the other day to celebrate my birthday and the owner was so kind and gracious, even bringing a piece of tiramisu to the table with a birthday candle.The owner was able to recommend an amazing wine and broke my streak of not being able to find a pinot noir that I liked. We ordered the antipasto and the prosciutto pizza and enjoyed every bite! I can't wait to come back here with family and friends, there is truly no end to the good things I can say about this place. I definitely recommend that you don't sleep on this place - you're missing out!To the owner: thank you for an amazing cap to a beautiful birthday. My husband and I enjoyed your stories, your recommendations, your food and your hospitality.“

“This may be a small venue, but it has the biggest heart in the whole damn city. The staff are all so kind and sweet (special shoutout to Tony and Griffin!), it's kept very clean, plus it's extremely safe and welcoming for everyone. They host all kinds of weekly events like drag and comedy, so if you need something to do in downtown Ottawa come here!“
“My new “pocket bar” in the hood that is quite nondescript on the outside, but is warm and inviting once you’re inside. The Barman is amazing handling the everyone on his own!Enjoyed the intimate space with a 7 man band… The Boo Radlley Project“

“Amazing atmosphere, staff were very friendly when we came in. Our bartender was Rena, she was great provided some great recommendations for drinks which was nice because I couldn’t decide with all the options. Very attentive. Restaurant was clean.“
“Love the drinks, the seating, the events are always fun, great music upstairs. Only reason I give 4 stars is because one of the bouncers are really weird. Kicks girls out of the ladies room for being there too long and accuses people of selling drugs if you go in and out a lot. Bartenders are nice though!“

The menu items are a bit expensive but they list a great variety of drinks on the menu, especially with shots. Didn't order any food so no comment there. Service was awesome, staff were very approachable and checked in on my group at the perfect times.“

“Great Food and honest too. I left my phone behind hidden under a plate. Well that was a long night waiting for morning to come, but I felt my phone was safe. And sure enough, the next morning, I picked up my phone. Thank you. That was great customer service.“
“Even though I am straight I love this bar. I like the diversity and the cool atmosphere and the very friendly staff specially the two female bartenders, very hardworking and most friendly and respectful, both my friends and of course Roxy, the best DJ. in the world and the cool friendly gent who collects cover charges at the door on most Saturday nights. I go Saturdays and this is a good opportunity for a good dancing exercise and tasteful drinks at great price as it is also a cool friendly place to dance and have fun.“

“The best Resto-Bar in Ottawa, very good atmosphere, very friendly employees, well decorated and very clean, most importantly the food is very good, an African flavor mixed with Canadian. If I could give 10 stars I would have, I recommend everyone to go to Double 7.“

“A good free hour eating joint if you want good food but all restaurants are closed and pubs are just too greasy.Décore is basic and the place is extremely dim. I guess it would be a good place if you don’t really want to see the people around you u clearly or the food you are eating.Corn bread is quite interesting to try as well as a few of their dishes.Good place to discover flavours but don’t expect a classy joint. Basic barn/ industrial decor.“

“The lounge is very romantic and stunning, I had a great time here although I tried the steak and wasn't quite satisfied with it. Also the crème brûlée I wasn't a fan of. Everything else was perfect. A lovely place for cocktails and socializing ✨“

“Fantastic service and food was good as well!My mushroom and Cheese was a little on the drier side. My wife's eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection. The milkshake was great and last but not least the home fries was the best in town, garlicky and well cooked.“
