“Delicious food and drinks!However if you have a baby, the bathroom has a broken changing table so my sister had to change her baby in the stroller... very awkward. Additionally there was no ramp near the front door to either access ourselves or that we could ask the staff for (and they were very busy that Saturday so I feel like it would've been an awkward imposition) To enter you have to scale two steep steps and pass through a narrow doorway, so bringing in the stroller for her baby was difficult.While it may not necessarily be an obvious family restaurant like Dennys or something, but its 2024 and you would hope they would apply for grants to get more accessible doors for their business, especially being in the Market aswell.“

“Customer service was very poor, only half of our order came to the table as we were told they’re out of chicken after getting half of it. So we had to eat just the fried rice and soup without any mains. They offered that the rice will be on the house, but then secretly charged us for it. Overall the staff was very disrespectful and not courteous at all. Food was good though but not worth the service we got.“

“So this actually took me a while to post, I've been sort of busy, however I have some free time now. Benny's is probably the most hidden gem I've found in Ottawa, breakfast was spot on. Some people may think that it's alittle pricey but you do have to consider food cost, everything is local and sourced by the Chef. These guys put heart and love into what they are doing and it shows. Service.... absolutely outstanding the young lady from Sudbury, me and her chatted for a good long time. Got to chat with I'm sure it was the owner as well. Good on you guys for putting forth the time, effort, love and passion that goes into running a effective business“

“The atmosphere going in is between rustic and homy, giving a quiet chicness that is both relaxing and comforting.The staff is pleasant and smiling, serving you with care and purpose.The food is beyond what I've had in years. Both tasty and complex without being overwhelming, opposing a few other high(-ish) end restaurants I went to previously. It's by no means cheap, so you should go for an occasion, but the quality of the food is on point and beyond.And by God's, that cheesecake was silky-smooth, without being too sweet.Great restaurant, it get a high recommendation from me.“

“Had a great time on a first date here. Nice quaint round booth table on a Tuesday. I would come again for sure. The price was a little high, but everything feels that way nowadays. Etienne was our server and he did a great job! Attentive but not overbearing, he sang and hum to himself as he moved around which was delightful. The only reason the atmosphere was a 4 is because I feel like with the massive opening to the hotel lobby it loses a bit of the restaurant feel and you every once in a while feel like it's not as "cozy"“
