I stopped by the CIBC bank machine at 200 Promenade du Portage at Gatineau. To my surprise, the choice of languages was French and Chinese ONLY. I have lived in the Ottawa region for years and have never seen this demonstration of language barrier. Two interesting points come in mind is that this machine is housed in a federal government building and I as a tax payer knows that the government have spend billions of dollars to bilingualism this country. What about the federal1969 Official Languages Act? Which statutes that French and English are the two official languages of Canada.

Why have this not been noticed and retified by any of the thousands of public servants that work in that building and used this machine. Is English that secondary to French that no one notices it except for me? The second issue is the bank call Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. With such a name and its history dating back to 1867, it’s surprising that it can make such a huge slip-up!!!

Mr. Foundation will happily take your money but when it comes to customer service they are absolutely terrible. They are completely disorganized and do not keep records of past jobs they have completed. I would not recommend hiring this company to do any foundation work on your home or business.

Numerous instructors, all of whom are very helpful and knowledgeable. The school focuses a bit more on handwork/boxing than some other TKD schools. Nice range of self-defense techniques taught in addition to the standard ITF forms. They do a very good job of engaging kids in the kids-only and family classes. I have not seen any of the weapons classes so can't comment on those. Moved to Ottawa after practicing elsewhere for several years. The Saroughi school has been a great find.

This hotel(really is like a motel with more than 1 level) should be renamed travel jail. The rooms are small and the admendities are bear essentials. The toilet refill ran continuously( we turned the water valve off) the light switch turn the fan on which was so loud that we couldn't hear the television( the washroom was 6 feet from the bed and television). The cover sheets was dirty with other people's hair in it, and the sheets were old and damaged. No extra pillows and no temperature control in the room. There was no plug for the coffee, so I had to unplug the lights instead. It was a double bed instead of the usual queen size)The parking was full so we had to park in a parking lot else where. The cost was average, but relatively, over priced( its should have been $49.99 like an motel charge) WILL NOT BE BACK

An Ottawa dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures will face a disciplinary hearing to answer allegations including overcharging for services and unethical conduct.

Dr. David Halpin is scheduled for a disciplinary hearing in Toronto on Thursday before the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, the self-regulating body for Ontario dentists.

Halpin runs the Smiles on Sparks dentistry clinic downtown and advertises cosmetic gum contouring, tooth whitening and "laser-assisted dentistry."

Two separate cases will be heard against Halpin. In the first, he is alleged to have charged excessive or unreasonable fees; ordered an unqualified person to perform a procedure; recommended or provided an unnecessary service; signed a document that contained a false, misleading or improper statement; and submitted a false or misleading account or charge.

In the second case, he faces more allegations, including false or misleading advertising; disgraceful, dishonourable, unprofessional or unethical conduct; and failing to abide

and failing to abide by a written undertaking given to the college.

None of the allegations has been proven.

The college said it could not provide more detail about the allegations against Halpin.

Reached at his clinic, Halpin said he was busy working and was unable to discuss the allegations. He said he would call back, but did not.

College records show Halpin graduated from dental school at the University of Western Ontario and began practising in 1984.

These guys are crooks, they were so bad at getting me financing that the only way I could get financed at 27.9% is if I lied and said I was a native. This is after I went in after hearing their radio ad about financing for everyone.

They tried to sell me a 2003 kia spectra gsx for 16,000 dollars, same models/same kms were selling for 6k on autotrader.

And never listen to any car dealership that says they'll buy out your loan/lease, research negative equity first.

They also have there own people, not sub contract. They also fixed a window leak free that was not install from them. You might pay a little more, but went the job is done, you don't have to worry about it for many many years. I would have this company do any future windows or doors replacement than any company offering cheap prices. Also the company is Centennial Glass Depot, there is no Auto!

After numerous attempts to rectify the situation, they failed to help me. It was only after a potential lawsuit did they finally replace the headlight lens. In sum, i wouldnt recommend buying a used car from this dealer, especially if it is not a hyundai

First - the benches - absolutely ridiculous to think that people would be comfortable - for sitting that long with no back support - invest in some good restaurant chairs.
You are charging 5 star prices for inconsistant food. The appetizers were delicious - but $18.00 each - ridiculous. Salmon and steak were undercooked. No vegetables??? $38.00
Nice staff - but not professional. For this money you should have top of the line professionally trained staff and consistant quality of food. We won't be back. Nor will our friends.

Mr. Lube is horrible!!! I took my car in for a simple oil change and they marked my vehicle as being 10 years newer than what it was. My gasket fell off on the Hunt Club bridge a few days later when I was driving someone to the airport in a rush. They had to hail a taxi and I had to leave my vehicle at the Tim Hortons for the weekend and cab home myself. I called Mr. Lube and I found out I also had documentation of their error. They towed the vehicle in, put the proper gasket on and then never went any further to compensate for all the extra inconveniences and extra money spent for their mistake!!! Definitely not recommending them and not happy with their service!

This is from the perspective of an employee. People often think of the lcbo as an over-paid job - and we are paid well. But in return you will be a casual employee for up to a decade with an unreliable flow of income (no guaranteed hours - one week you could work 30 hrs and then have absolutely no hours the next week), no paid days off, and you can expect to be treated as a pawn - even regarding personal circumstances. Many fellow casual employees work 6-7 days a week (if the hours are available) in order to maintain a livable income. This is a perspective from ottawa; I cannot speak for other parts of the province. However I'm willing to bet it's not much different anywhere else.

Why did you let her get away with that!? what a useless manager. Well i should say managers cause the one doing my hair was the assistant. Its obvious that a change of power is in order at this store. Its people like them that this site is made for!! DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!!!!

At first we weren't sure what to think of the park since we came in off the last ferry. Really the only reason we decided to go there is because it was close to the ferry docks and we were tired of driving. The staff was great with giving us the needed information, they were really fast that way we would have time to set up our tent before it got to dark. The next day we decided to try the trails and asked the staff for advice on where to go. They ended up giving us a map of the island with everything laid out for us. We ended up having a great day out and about and were really tired after and didn't want to drive off the island. So, we decided to stay at the park again! They made our memory on the island a really good one.

The nature trails are something that I think everyone should go on (they are educational too!) You really need to take your time to explore the area since there is so much to see and do. We first did the trails and then decided to stay here over night at the campground. We had our own private wooded site, which is rare to have in most campgrounds now-in-days.

This place was fantastic. My family and I really enjoyed it. The eco-showers really made us think about our overuse of water. The showers are quite simple since there is a sink with hot and cold water right beside the shower. I have long hair and one bag full was just great for me. The bathrooms, or what they call privies, were quite clean, you can see they take pride in their park.

The campsites were large and quite shady, we really enjoyed our time on the hiking trails too. We saw two deer! We also went to the Astronomy Night and on the Moonlight Hike and Wolf Howl and had a great time seeing stars and howling to wolves, a coyote responded.

This is a great if you want to comfortably camp on Manitoulin Island. The staff there were very nice and accommodating, my children loved them.

I went here to have my hair straightened, my hair is curly.The stylist started brushing my hair roughly and the asked my if I get my hair cut on a regular basis. After I replied yes to him he said it doesn\'t look like it and told me to brush my own hair. After I was done he continued to brush my hair telling me that this was the best way to straighten my hair, after seeing a few strands of my hair break off from the vigorous brushing I suggested a iron. He replied that they didn\'t use that and continued. I told him to stop before my hair was totally destroyed, he did and then the owner came over only to use the same technique. I was very upset at this point and got up to leave the store, only to find out that my bf had already pre-payed for the service. I demanded a refund which they said was impossible due to my bf paying on his visa and handed me a gift certificate. When my bf went in for a refund on his visa they told him that they had closed the machine and the refund had to be on the same day.No refund.

"My daughter, husband and I all joined Saroughi Martial Arts in 2010. I can say without question, that it was one of the best decisions we could have made. We were expecting some exercise and maybe to learn a little bit of martial arts. What we were not expecting was the level of professionalism and incredible personal training we would receive. We have grown stronger both physically and mentally, thanks to the Saroughi program at Saroughi Martial Arts. The difference in my daughter's confidence is immeasurable. She is no longer a shy and introverted young girl, but instead has blossomed into a confident and strong young lady. I can honestly say that I owe that change to Master Sam Saroughi and his brothers Masters Alton & George.
Each brother brings a unique and exceptional quality to the gym. What they each have in common, however, is an uncanny ability to read the students' needs and abilities. They possess the ability to know when to push the student, when to joke, when to be serious, to correct, to teach discipline and respect, and yet to never harm a child's confidence in the process. It is not a "one size fits all" type of program. The attention that each student receives is remarkable and uncommon in today's world. The respect and dedication they show each child is returned by everyone in class. They teach the children, as well as the parents, to strive to be better people, not just in class, but outside as well. The lessons they teach these children are invaluable and sorely lacking in today's society. I only wish I had had such a place to go to when I was a child! To say we are lucky to have stumbled across this gym now, is an understatement.
As a family, we have grown, and are proud to be members and hope to continue to grow and learn as the years go on. Thank you to the Saroughi family from our family!
Sincerely,
Caroline, Robert & Katie Dale"

The path that was supposed to be to the beach is gone now. NOT FRIENDLY at all. The people running the grounds made you feel like you were intruding when you wanted to purchase an item or ask a question. Will not return there at all!!

Went to see this dentist to get my new bottom partial plate made. He told me I had lots of calceles on my teeth. He told me to get my teeth cleaned by the dental hygienast. I told him I cannot afford to do that. So, he said to go to the dental school because it could be cheaper there. I do not understand why he could not make me a plate. I think he did not like me and my teeth. I see lots of people waiting in his office. I do not think he tells them to clean their teeth first.. I am not happy in this office. I do not understand why my cousin Bruno was happy there. He told me to see this dentist. Silvana Tores

This dentist Cohen has good heart and great hands. I came to Toronto from Jamaica to celebrate my older sister's birthday. My top plate broke in the limo. The driver recommended Cohen dentist. The dentist said my plate is too old to be fixed. I did not believe him. I was fixed in Kingston many times before. Another dentist down the street fixed it for 200$, but it broke again in 3 pieces the next morning. So, I went back to dentist Cohen. 2 days later, he made me a perfects top plate. It fits great and it looks very natural. Thanks dentist Cohen for being honest to me and for helping me out in with my troubles. Now I know why you were recommended to me in the first place. God Bless your hands. You are the best.

I recently purchased techno remoulded tires for our Dodge Grand Caravan. The price is great but you get what you pay for. Tires are too soft, no feed back is felt through the steering. When pushed hard they quickly fold and scrub making steering impossible. Wet traction is also poor.

The dim sum was average but the service was very slow. Most dim sum places are quick and the carts of food are always moving well around the restaurant. The tables were packed tight in this place and servers had to walk 2 to 3 table away from their cart to get to you. Not recommended as there are so many other dim sum place around.

Even though I received a great cut from this salon I will NOT be recommending it. Its great to have a trustworthy talented person work on my hair, but the place is a dump and is falling apart. The owner clearly doesnt care about this business.

On May 15, 2010 I ordered 2 custom-made pillow cases. I was told it would take 2 – 3 weeks; it took 4 weeks. When I went to pick them up, I noticed the fabric was slightly different. I mentioned it to Anthony, the owner, and his reply was “I don’t think so.” He then checked the order form and the catalogue of fabrics and realized it was, indeed the wrong fabric. He offered no apology. He called the person that does the sewing and she told him she had run out of the fabric that I chose. When I started asking why someone didn’t call me, the Anthony rudely interrupted and said “HELLO!” He then said I could either keep the pillow cases or get my money back. If he hadn’t been so rude and unprofessional, I would have probably kept them, but I decided to get my money back instead. He then started to apologize—too little, too late. I will never set my foot in that store again.

While the esthetician was competent and friendly the overall ambience and service at the spa was poor. The atmosphere feels like a clinic and not a retreat. As a new client I was not offered a brochure, beverage or magazine and sat on a hard chair while waiting for my appointment. During my session in a private room another employee interupted and knocked on the door and requested supplies. The atmosphere is sterile and not relaxing. I would rather pay a little more and go somewhere where you feel pampered.

Given the reviews for Mateo I visited this location and he was not available that day. I decided to go with another hairdresser and I was extremely satisfied with the cut I received. I agree that the salon itself needs a bit of a face lift. If I were to judge a book by its cover I would never trust my hair to be done in such a run down salon. But extremely happy with the cut. The hairdresser I would like to recommend would be Cora.

The ring turned out beautifully and at a reasonable price. Just as important, Sevan was great to bounce ideas off of, he was extremely patient with me as I changed my mind several times, and he gently offered advice when asked. It was a great experience from start to finish and my fiancee could not be happier with the end result! Thanks Sevan

Great looking bikes, too bad the service doesn't match.

I've been dealing with British Italian for over a year now, and am constantly amazed at the poor customer service. Entering the front door, they hardly give you the time of day unless you're wearing leathers. In the shop, i've learned that "we'll call you" is an empty promise. Most recently, i dropped my bike off and was told it would have to be tested cold the following morning and "we'll call you to let you know the results". no call. no contact whatsoever until i called them a week later and was told "its on the lift now, we're looking at it. we'll call you later today". surprise, surprise, no call. Finally the next day i call back and was told "we tried calling you this morning but it just rang and rang". Not only do I have voice mail on my phone, but it keeps a log of everyone that called and hung up, yet no record of this mystery call.

Its at the point where i'd rather drive out from Vancouver to the shop in langley.

Granite Ridge Campground
Overall: 0%
A group of us stayed here for the Canada Day long weekend this year.

I'll start with the positives first: The lake had good fishing and a nice beach and the river was picturesque but no fish bit. It was good that they had a lot of activities to do, for example; horseshoes, volleyball, basketball etc..

Now why I'll never spend my money at this place again. The washroom facilities were atrocious, most of the time all 4 toilets were out of service. The toilets are also in the same small room that houses the showers. So while you are showering your feet are sitting in overflown toilet water because like everything else there, the shower drains didn't work.

The fire wood was overpriced at this campground. You can buy it by the bag for $8 or by a load for $40. You're actually better to buy 5 bags of wood then you are to buy a load as you'll get more wood from the bags.

The owners were very rude and couldn't have cared less when we voiced our concern over the many issues we had during our stay.

We had 2 camp sites booked and upon check in, we were told that one of the sites was unavailable and our group of 10 had to cram into one site. Due to the fact that they charge PER PERSON and not PER SITE they did not offer any compensation and it was too late for us to seek alternative camping plans. The owners were very rude and verbally assulted some of the girls in our group for taking some branches off the ground to roast marshmallows and keep the fire going when we got low on wood one night. Meanwhile, rules were being broken constantly, drinking and driving, dogs off leash on the beach and doing their washroom business, loud base music from the 30pp camp group next to us ALL NIGHT LONG, even past the 4AM bedtime I had.

The entire group that I was with is certainly in agreement that we will never retrun to this site and we hope that our bad experience will help prevent others from having an uncomfortable time camping, especially when there are so many wonderful camp sites in the area. What a shame.

Irina was able to make the search for our home a truly positive experience. From the beginning she gave us the impression that we were a priority to her and that she was genuinely interested in finding us the right home that met our unique needs. Once we signed up with Irina, the process of finding that home was brief. She was always available to us, whether it was to answer our questions, to produce listings that met our criteria, or to secure appointments. As a result, we were among the first to view our home. We believe that this played a large part in our being able to successfully purchase a home that we absolutely love.

I was dragged into another shop along this small street in the small town, but WOW !, was I ever surprised. From the moment that I passed the beautifully laid out window, I knew that I was in for somehing special. A tastefully set armoire was highlighted with period china, so nice in fact that I took a picture of it. After seeing many "antique store" displays admit that this was the prettiest. Inside, the store supported my first impressions...laid out well, an eclectic blend of antiques, collectibles, art, and potpourri. My wife had asked for the china and crystal sections, leaving me to peruse the collectibles, and the bright paintings skillfully grouped on the walls, Here and there were other smaller paintings, mixed with toys, stuffed animals, and a fresh coffee grinder for cappachinos. What an enchanting show piece.

Every spring and every fall, my work takes me right the way across Canada, and I always try to stay at my favorite places if the drive and weather allows. The owners of the Ignace Motel in North Western Ontario always make me feel welcome, and are usually 10 to 20 bucks cheaper than the others. Also, they always are great to talk to at the end of a grueling day on the northern Ont highways - sometimes icy and dangerous. I like this place... clean and in my price range, but most of all, friendly too.

The general manager at this shop is brutal. I took my bike in to trade for another bike, and he offered me to save the taxes if I paid cash, I could have saved the taxes buy paying cash without a trade in. The back wheel on my bike is worth more than what he offered. It would appear that they are rip off artists, as they charge 3 times for a recycled bike as what I could buy a new one for. At first glance I thought that recycled bicycles was a great idea. I thought wouldn't it be great if I could keep a bike out of the landfill and possibly save some money, but this shop certainly turned out to be a disapointment.

After freezing my mouth, she belittled the other doctor's opinion and berated me for wasting her time. I will never go back to a dentist that does not respect her fellow colleagues nor her patients.

Fast talking scam artist! Bought an 06 F350 traded in 03 Dodge wouldn't give a straight answer on trade in price just kept coming back with payment and saying sign here if this payment works. we were asking no less than 14,000 they scamed us to 9,000 then two days later truck was listed on web for 18,000! There were repairs to be made on new truck and we were told to bing the truck in and there would be a courtesy car waiting for us when we drove from RedDeer to edmonton there was no courtesy car there was not even an appointment booked. The salesman made an attempt to fix the broken things and I was told that I would have to take it to a Ford dealer to have the heated seat repaired. The latch off the rear sliding window was missing and instead of putting a new one on he gave me a latch and told me I would have to put it on myself! I have been unable to find an adheasive that will work and last night some one went through the back window and tried to hotwire the truck my RV was attached so I almost lost both!

A dishonest and unethical company in how they conduct business and deal with their customers.

I lived in a rental unit where the garage door spring had broken. The landlord had arrainged for them to come by the house and repair the door leaving them my name and phone number. After the repair I guess the landlord refuse to pay them and sold the house and moved away before they could solve it with the landlord.

This company came after me the tenant to pay the landlords bill and placed this claim onto my credit using my name and cell phone number.

I did not sign any work orders, I did not agree to pay, I mearly answered the door and let them into a home that was not mine. It took me 2.5 years to solve this issue with equifax and the credit agencies.

This company knew it would be a pain and counted on that to make me pay a debt that isnt mine. They were rude and obnoxitious to me in the process of trying to deal with it and had the mentality that someone would pay and they didnt care who.

But honestly, this place is ridiculous. We were not informed of a boil water advisory. Renovators were constantly in our rooms doing work while we were in there. Bathroom was disgusting (mold by tub, ceiling looked gross). Smelt terrible when I went into my room.

We purchased a leather loveseat from the Dufferin and Steeles store, that my wife really wanted. Everything was great up to when we finished signing the paperwork.
When we went around the building to the pick up counter the head sales manager would not let us pick up the loveseat because "it was close to closing time" and therefore we had to come back. Even though the shipping clerk had no problem with us picking up the loveseat the manager would not let the loveseat leave the store. We were forced to drive back the next day to pick up the loveseat.

Did I mention that it took us 1 hour to get there? He didn't care.

These people are slime. Once they have your money they don't want to deal with you. I wanted to tear up the paperwork then and there but my wife really wanted the loveseat. Especially after spending weeks looking for one.

Do not spend your money there. People like this should not be rewarded for treating their customers like dirt.

The food is delicious, the portions huge and the prices very, very reasonable. In short, one of the best Thai take out restaurants in Ottawa!

Rochester Auto Centre

I want to warn any potential customers of this Ottawa Garage and Auto Sales business.

After leaving my car at Rochester Auto Centre, 148 Rochester Street, in Ottawa, Ontario, to have an engine replaced in my Honda Accord. It was agreed upon by the business owner Joseph Vahidi (May not be his real name, he used a different spelling in Court than he gave me in person) that he would remove the damaged engine from my car and have the low mileage replacement motor, I purchased separately, installed in the car.

After having the used motor I purchased that ran perfectly, delivered to the shop, I anticipated an easy installation and no further problems with the used motor.

Shortly hereafter I received a notice in the mail saying my car had been ticketed and towed from a private lot next to the garages lot where I had last seen my car. I immediately went to Rochester Auto and enquired into why my car had been towed and why it was on his neighbors lot?

That was the end of all fair business practices with this company specifically Joseph Vahidi the owner.

He refused to answer any of my questions and he had not yet installed the used Honda Motor I had purchased into the car.

I contacted Police but to no avail, they told me it was a civil matter.

The city Parking Infraction ticket office gave me alot more information. They had towed about a dozen cars that day after the garage owner had parked them on his neighbors private property while he moved his cars around hogging space, I believe there was an ongoing dispute with the former land owner. Rochester Auto refused to pay the Parking Ticket or the Storage costs for the vehicle. He flatly and laughing at me refused to take any responsibility for his actions. Meanwhile my used motor was still inside his garage.

My only choice now because of the mounting costs, etc. was to go to small claims court and try to recoup my losses as well as my engine inside his garage.

As I knew I was right and I had trusted this business to take care of my property, I was terribly wrong to think that I would have the situation resolved in court.

The Rochester Auto owner, Joseph Vahidi, came to court and seemed like he didn't understand english as well as he did when I had met him, at least not in front of the Judge. He must have had a lot of experience in court because he began lying from the moment the case began.

I spent hours upon hours preparing for the case and had paperwork evidence, signed statements from the Parking Control Officers, and thought I would somehow get my losses recovered. That is not the case.

Joseph Vahidi, testified before a Judge and then he began to contradict all the evidence I had with me. He had no paperwork, no valid excuses and he convinced the Judge that all my evidence was of no value and the Judge dismissed the case. I was in shock. The Judge even asked him about the Honda Motor I had purchased separately, and he convinced the Judge he threw it in the garbage because it was of no value. The seriousness of his lies was quickly gone when he laughed at me as he left the Court House.

A lawyer who was present approached me outside and told me the Judge was dead wrong and I should have won my case completely and should have received punitive damages for the lies told by the defendant Joseph Vahidi(Rochester Auto). I fully agreed. I imagined this is where the Judge had his car repairs done at a discount.

Even though this particular Judge left a extremely sick foul taste in my mouth, I vowed to get justice. While I was at the Court House I found other civil case records of other victims who had sued Rochester Auto and had their case dismissed also, I copied their contact information so I could find out what happened to them with their case.

A woman I contacted gave me the same court scenario where the defendant acted stupid and like he didn't understand why he was being sued and that case was also dismissed. I guess he knew lying would work already when I sued him.

The other victim and I spent hours talking about the sickening injustice and how this garage had ripped us off. We decided on going to the Justice of the Peace at the Court House and telling our stories. We were both surprised that the Justice of the Peace agreed that the Judge was at fault in both our cases and that the evidence we showed him was good enough to have Joseph Vahidi charged officially with Perjury.

We were both very happy and looked forward to our day in court. We were both there when Joseph Vahidi was called before a criminal Judge and had his charges of Perjury set to be heard. We both stood before the Judge and stated we were the witnesses for the charges. Joseph Vahidi was livid, swearing at me under his breath as he left the Court.

The woman and I left court that day, looking forward to testifying, which was very shortlived when the female victim received a call from the cities Crown Attorney telling her he would not be pursuing the charges of Perjury any further. She argued as to why not, but was never given a valid excuse, but was left with another foul taste because it just seemed like this particular Crown Attorney just wasn't interested in spending his time prosecuting a Perjury charge. She was so disgusted at this revelation she gave up all hope of ever recovering her losses or even seeing the garage owner accountable.

The Justice of the Peace who had laid the initial Perjury charges was shocked when I went and told him that the Crown Attorney refused to finish and reluctantly, I gave up myself, since I didn't have money to throw away on a private prosecution. Crooked Justice.

I would be happy to testify to any of these facts should another victim come forward. This is a crooked garage, who has an owner who has been charged with Perjury, unfortunately not convicted because of a Crown Attorney I believe was lazy or not interested. But I believe my testimony will easily throw light on the fact that this guy will lie in court after he has already ripped you off.

Are you a victim of Rochester Auto. I will testify for anyone who needs to show what he is capable of saying. It can only help your case. Contact me through this site.

Beware, tell everyone you know to avoid this garage, he will possibly rip-off again. Even after being charged with Perjury.

Spend your money elsewhere. There has to be more reliable tradespeople.

Since I first posted my complaint I have been contacted by other Victims of Joseph Vahidi in droves. He also uses 2 other names that I know of; Golem Resaj, and Golem Reza Vahidi.

The owner of Rochester Auto has testified in many other Court Cases. He submitted Incorporated Business numbers to the Judge that are NON-EXISTENT and subsequently when Sheriffs Deputies were unable to seize his property to pay a debt from another trial because of the falsified Incorporation Numbers not matching his actual business numbers on the legal documents, he delayed the process for months, missing several hearings and swearing to his absence with Falsified Medical Documents. When he realized he would be arrested again, he suddenly paid that victim to stop the process and avoid being jailed for the contempt charges. (He knows the Judges refuse to follow the Law for Contempt if a Plaintiff has been paid).

Many of Rochester Autos victims don't want to waste there time in court with such a devious defendant. One Plaintiff had been contacted by his companies Security team after Joseph Vahidi, claiming to be a fellow employee, went in person to the companies offices and made several false allegations of theft supposedly committed by this Plaintiff. Mr. Vahidi's story was unbelievable to the Security officers since it turned out he was not an employee of the company and Security staff wondered why an office worker would have so much grease under his finger-nails. The judge in that case suggested another Civil suit for harassment, but this plaintiff did not want any more of his time wasted. The few who do stand up for their rights are so disillusioned by the Court Sytem and its' Judges that they usually give up. The best advice you can get from these facts is to 'Shop Carefully', 'Do Some Research' and get 'Every Word in Writing'.

WARNING!DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

i asked them to look at my windshield washers, an oil change and to check my engine light. i dropped off my car at 10 in the morning and warned them that i have to have this car to use by tomorrow because of work! its 2:30 and the shop closes at 5:00, haven\'t received a call!

i call and they say that he was just about to call after he has finished the scanning! ITS BEEN FOUR HOURS and nothing was done during that time! a diagnostic scan takes ten mins to plug in the scanner and after looking up what the code says, maybe spend half an hour or less under the hood to confirm. FOUR HOURS, nothing DONE!!! i took a full day off work just to get this thing taken care off jus soo they can fool around and forget that priority for CUSTOMERS IS IMPORTANT!i had to call a second time 4:30 AGAIN, because i had no call from them! the shope closes in half an hour, and i had to call a second time to remind them to do their JOB! it took them a whole day just to do an oil change! DO NOT GO HERE

If you are a family that has children who are still in diapers or training pants this is NOT the place for you. The owner will not let your child swim in the pool. They refused entry to my grandson today.He is 2 and still in diapers.My son was told that due to what young children will "do" in a pool, and what health services has done to him in the past after several complaints from his clients, he would not allow my grandson to go swimming.I believe the owners name is John. He should not own a motel. Boycott this motel if you have children.Shame on you owner of the Adriatic Motel!!

I have been seeing this doctor for several years now. This doctor seems to be suffering from dementia. After being misdiagnosed and treated with indignity, I started looking for more information about this “doctor”. Upon further investigation, I have uncovered through the College of Physicians and Surgeons website that he has been doing this to others for some time now. The website quotes: “Allegations of Dr. Casserly's professional misconduct and incompetence have been referred to the Discipline Committee of the College. It is alleged that Dr. Casserly failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession in his care and treatment of 26 patients, including his prescribing and record-keeping”. Any other information or concerns about James G. Casserly would be appreciated as the public and any of his patients should be aware of this relevant and significant information.

Overall: 0%
Mr.Foundation is the most dishonest company I have ever dealt with. Having signed a contract 5 months ago I am still awaiting completion. They told me 6 weeks. The original estimate was useless. I was promised the world and delivered nothing but grief. They threatened to walk of my job if I did not sign an addition order for work they had performed without my knowledge. They did walk off the job once after that. They promised to lift my house, they didn't do it. There are many problems with the "repairs" they did. They did not get the required permits. I DO NOT recommend them to anyone for any job no matter how small. Check their BBB ratings. They have many complaints. They are all "resolved" because they will leave the job until you change your complaint to resolved.

STAY AWAY... RUN AWAY from these crooks!!

Just a terrible school. Amateur production from beginning to end. Directors have no history in education besides owning daycares. No publications, no pedagogical direction. Not worth the money. Henry Zefrin would be better off running a day camp.

Ayant été à plusieurs reprises à ce restaurant, quelle déception de constater, lors de mon dernier repas (mars 2010) à cette table, la très mauvaise qualité du service. Il y avait un petit objet dur et non identifié dans mon potage, ce que le serveur a trouvé amusant. Pour le plat principal, déception une fois de plus. La sauce au vin était sans éclat, la viande n'était pas tendre !
Quel dommage, j'avais eu de belles expériences auparavant à ce resto.

I had a regularly scheduled maintenance appointment with Dr. Kachuck on April 9.

About a week before my appointment, I left a phone message with his office. I asked that the doctor look at my wife's denture which was causing her some discomfort and pain.
I requested that we have simultaneous appointments. The office never returned my call; there was no need. My request was accepted without question.

While I was having my teeth cleaned, Dr. Kachuck and the staff paid special attention to my wife, Barbara. Barb's denture problem was quickly fixed. They treated her like a queen and made me feel like a VIP.

Thank you. I have always been happy with the excellent customer service and competence of this office. Everyone is friendly and courteous.

The food here is absolutely wonderful! I had the Chicken Parmaesan with a pasta side. For someone who is not a big pasta fan, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The sauce is fresh and spiced just right. Not heavy.Delicious! For 2 guests our bill was less than $50 (no alcohol)with a tip. We will definately go again.

Me and my 3 kids are devastated,3 weeks ago I brought my cats to their vet for their checkup.After paying $150,and being a client of theirs for a year and I buy all their food there.At the exam I told my vet that one of my cats had been vomiting sporadically for a while,she said it was from the tapeworms.She almost died on Saturday,my vet was closed.She is severely ill and dehydrated... she is only 2 years old.I spent hours online trying to find out what I could do at home until my vet opened.I left my vet a message on Saturday to call me as soon as they opened, I told them my cat was dying and that I had no money right now.I went over there today and they told me there is nothing they can do.They refused to see my cat or to give me any advice and were very rude and did not care at all.I called 3 vets today and they all said they would have never done what my vet did.They even suggested I make a complaint to the AB.VMA.When you have money,this clinic loves you If you don't have money they really don't care.

Absolutely the worst hair experience I've seen - took my teenage son in for a slight "trim", was assigned a juniour "stylist" who proceeded to convert his shaggy-surfer-do to a short punky blow-dried, stylized nightmare. Neither he nor I were consulted on such a dramatic change in style before the hacking and coifing began. When I discovered what was being done, I requested she stop and had her re-do the cut 2x before suggesting she just stop altogether. We had to go have it fixed somewhere else. My son is now at risk of loosing work in the industry (modelling) because of what was done - it will take months for his locks to grow back in. Not to mention I'm out $25 for this experience!

First they tried an \"experimental\" freezing that was like torture, that I still was forced to pay for. Then they misplaced my file, making me fill out a new one instead of looking for my old one. Tricked me into seeing a new dentist who was just out of school, her assistant cleaned only half my teeth and told me she didn\'t have time to finish the bottom. They then made me pay in full and told me to come back in 3 months to get the bottom cleaned without no charge. Two thumbs down, I have found a new dentist and wouldn\'t sent my worst enemy to this place.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This driving school as an owner whom is also the instructor and she is the DEVIL (Rosey). She keeps trying to persuade her students to take extra hours (more than 12) and if you refuse she tries to convince you that you would fail your driving exam at SAAQ. I personally had this experience and so did few of my acquaintances. This driving school is known in the Montreal Caribbean community as the “School that you just do not go to”. To add to this she does not prepare her students properly for the exam since her goal is to make you take extra hours. Even worst she is emotionally aggressive and she is always YELLING at her students. Also during sessions with her she would finish early without refunding the time so you would pay for 12hours and probably get 10. If you know what is good for you KEEP AWAY PLEASE. This school is so bad that I learnt to reverse properly on my last session. PLEASE AVOID AVOID.

Very bad experience... I brought in my maid of honnor and we were both shocked at the type of service... Nobody acknowledged our presence, and when I asked to try on dresses, the owner told me to take the dress that was in the first fitting room. It was the dress that a previous bride had left there... not at all what I had asked to try on (I brought pictures from the designers they carry in the store)!!! And when I told her I did not like the style of the dress, she said that I was a picky bride in the worst tone of voice! She seemed very annoyed to have us in the store (as if our presence was not wanted)... she makes you feel like she is doing you a favor to have you in her store. Definitely one of the worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life! When you shop for 2000$ dresses, you expect nothing but good service... she was annoyed by the customers, not willing to look for dresses

I'm writing this to save someone else the heartbreaking experience I went through. My cat was sick and I brought him here and unfortunately it led to having to put him down. First , the vet was very insensitive to this difficult decision, then he BOTCHED THE PROCEDURE. Did you read that properly? He had to send the assistant out of the room to fetch another syringe while my poor cat was obviously in pain from the first one injestion. This happened many years ago and it still haunts me just as strongly.
I'm writing this now because last night I had to drive a friend to my current vet, because she was also a Glebe client and had brought her elderly cat there with one problem, and the next night (last night) had to bring him and have him put down because of another problem. Coincidence? Regardless, nothing may happen to you, but on the off chance it does, why not choose different vet? You don't want to be haunted as I am.

Dr. Frenette butchered a very close friend of mine. I stand by this review.
He did a breast reduction and an infection developed which he did not treat it right. He didn't even take a culture. By the time we actually got to proper doctors who specialized in infections, there was a lot damage already done, both physical and psychological. Throughout the ordeal, Dr. Frenette's atitude was condescending and extremely arrogant, in my view. A local attorney thought this was a worthwhile case to pursue for medical malpractice (extremely difficult in Quebec) but my friend could not afford it. I would not recommend this guy to my worst enemy.

If it was the real thing (wine, brandy, fruit, etc.) I wouldn't mind paying that but this was really low quality stuff and I was shocked when I saw the bill. Very nice interior and decent service but charging that price for a premade mix they purchased for $5 at the grocery store is really insulting.

The people that looked after me spent a considerable amount of time explaining what was happening with me and what we should do to help. They made sure that I understood the whole plan before I had to commit to anything. When I returned to pick up my orthotics, they were ready on time and again the person explained how to wear them and look after them and answered my questions. I can also go back for any follow-ups as I need to without any more charges. After following the directions, my feet are much better.

The last three times I was at this casino, they did not have any paper towel to dry your hand. I thought that was strange after the second time but the third time. The place was not even busy. In theory, there is only so much money they can draw out of the local economy. Now I guess they are just cutting back to compensate the lost in revenue.

I used to eat here every day when i was in highschool. Years later i told my husband that i wanted to go there to reminisce and so we did..and while eating there was a cockroach on the wall beside us. we discretely moved to the table beside us to get away from this bug and i stopped eating my food. Then Gordy came over and asked why we changed tables. we told him quietly as there were other people dining as well. he came out with a huge can of raid and started spraying the area. When we left he said "bye bye! sorry bout cockroach!!!!"

i wont be returning. Sorry gordy.

Big Slice is awesome for students! Located on yonge street near Ryerson University, Big Slice is pretty cheap for the pizza slice they give you which is huge! They provide condiments to add to your pizza, a favourite choice is hot sauce among the many students that go (not for me though). However, the place is a little dingy, people coming in and out to use their bathroom (i have been warned never ever to go inside their bathroom, so i have not and don\'t plan on doing so). But the overall atmosphere is great! It\'s pretty alive, since it has a great location on yonge, They offer delivery of different sized pizzas. I got it once and the pizza could barely fit in their largest box it was so big. If you\'re in the area looking for a quick and cheap bite, i recommend this place. Just don\'t judge the place before you try their slice.

I've enrolled my 5 year old daughter for Tae Kwon Do classes a couple of month ago and already can see the difference in her everyday attitude! She is more attentive at school and is not shy to speak up during her classes. The method of teaching at Winning Circle boosted her confidence in herself and made her believe that she can achieve anything if she puts effort into it. It also teaches them RESPECT towards adults, fellow students and most importantly RESPECT towards themselves. I would defiantly recommend this school to anyone with young children as well as adults.

Like the last review, I also had bad experience with their Eggs Benedict and have not been back since. I lost a bet with my girl friend and Cora's her favorite place, but the one on Merivale Rd. I figure they must have it down packed by now as to how to prepare the eggs properly. I made sure by asking them to prepare my eggs "soft" as oppose to medium or well done. It took them 35 minutes and the eggs came hard. I asked for the manager and explain my past here and the current problem. She was very polite and took care of the satiation. My food came 10 minutes later, cooked the way I like it, offer me a courtesy discount and even offer me some coupons. Overall, I was happy with the final out come and I will go back. Our server was named Nikkie and she did an excellent job.

very slow and inexperienced servers who does not understand their own menu...
a head-banded ninja looking server actually threw sauce plate onto the table, didn\'t say anything like \"sorry\",
left that making clattering noise and walked away.
takes about 20 min. between appt. to the meal with 4 servers and half full dining room.
no individual plates were provided even after we asked for them..
curry plate and tom yum soup was not something you would ever order again..
pad thai was ok and pho soup was greasy..
doubt that we will be going back there ever again..

What a treasure. We ate outside on the patio and had a fantastic meal. Wash you hands before dinner because you will be eating with your hands. You are given a warm, wet face cloth to wipe.

The platter was absolutely fantastic. I can't describe the flavours or spices but I can assure you, you will be delighted. I don't know the "bread" that the food is served on, but you tear off a piece and scoop up the tasty morsels. The final piece of bread is the best as it has all the juices and flavours left behind. It's fun, really!

For desert. The banana and honey are warmed and served with ice cream. My wife and I shared but we ordered a second one...lesson learned-don't share, get your own.

The coffee beans are roasted on site and prior to bringing the beverage to your table, the server came out to the patio with a bowl full of freshly roasted coffee beans for all to enjoy. Now the coffee arrived in a clay coffee pot and served in small cups. On the tray with the coffee is a clay burner in which frankincense is burned. I'm not sure why this is done, but it's quite nice.

The staff are very friendly and hospitable.

The Addis Ababa Restaurant is on my "return visit" list.

Read online that service was poor and our experience can only echo and affirm this. The one woman is works the entire restaurant, including bar and handling money. Don't see her ever washing her hands thru this. We sat and waited about 10 minutes before drink order was taken, 20 mins for appetizers, 5 mins later for main dishes and then 15 minutes after being done before she returned apologetically. We were two in an area with two larger groups but that shouldn't matter. The food was alright, nothing spectacular and the flavouring on the cucumber/mint/yogurt thingie was moderate (have had better from President's Choice). The kicker was our drink - served in a slightly larger than regular shot glass (cost $4.50) the coke was flat and less than half the glass size. We asked about this at the end of our meal (she hadn't returned before then), she raced off to the bar to produce the can of coke as evidence that it was a new can, not flat. Therefore, she thinks we're making it up? We weren't finished with paying our bill and she scooped up the tray with enough cash for the tab but no tip, so we figured she didn't care for a tip, so we left none. The restaurant ambiance is 'fair', but honestly, they need to hire people with better customer service skills and at SOME experience as a server! Won't go back, won't recommend to others at all...

We are two seniors who had breakfast at Denny's. It cost us 21.90 for 2 poached eggs on toast with two slices of tomato and the other had bacon and eggs only. We were charged $4.50 for our coffee. We find that $21.90 was way too expensive for such a breakfast. They should consider discounts for seniors.

We visited this restaurant for the third time. We went for dinner twice and decided to try it one more time for lunch which showed to be a big mistake. Just after we ordered, we noticed that both of our glasses were very dirty as well as the table. When we asked for clean glasses and table, the waiter came back with a dirty cloth (!) to "clean" the table. Thus, we decided to get our food for take out instead of eating there. Back home, we found that our food (sandwiches and fries) was uneatable. The fries were soggy and extremly greasy and both sandwiches were soggy as well. The chicken sandwich had only four tiny pieces of chicken breast on it. In general, it seemed that the chef did not put a lot of effort and care into preparing the food. When we brought it back, the chef's reaction was more than rude. The chef was immediately offended and unfriendly, and showed no sign of customer service or diplomacy. Our first two visits to this restaurant were ok, although the second time, one of our dishes was undercooked, hence disappointing. Our last visit was a nightmare. From a restaurant/bistro that wants to operate on an upscale level, one would expect a) an immaculate, clean space, b) excellent customer service, even in difficult situation. We will definately not come back, never mind recommend this restaurant!

I brought my car in to rebuild the transmission and to make a long story short I've taken it back in 3 times, each time it is in for a month. I call every week and the story is the same, they say it will be done the following week.
That's not even the worst part- my transmission is now in worse shape than before I brought it in!! It shifts horribly! Basically I paid them $1500 to make my transmission worse!

They say they are going to get another one, but it has been 2 weeks and they have never called me back before, why would they now

I have been to Anna's on many occasions and usually reserve.

The service is fast and the daily specials they have on are a lovely assortment of rice and different Thai curry dishes that tempt the palate. All served on a lazy susan type board with a selection of dishes & a spring roll (usually).

I have had the beef with noodles on occasion and it has to be my favourite dish. The beef is very tender and comes with a side of peanut sauce for dipping. Due to the amount of spice in some of the dishes (I believe) the service staff are always on hand to fill your water glass at moments notice. The prices are good for the quality of the food you receive. They have recently had a slight remodelling on the interior and it works for the ambience.

Their only inconvenience, no Interac.

The Hull casino has the worst atmosphere in any casino I been. In the past, I have seen normal well manner people turn ugly over the years of casino gambling. They have lost their spouse, home and business and can't seem to understand their predicament. Lately I am seeing more of that as gamblers turn on each other over the smallest issues. Unlike casinos in Vegas, the gamblers are all local and losing their life savings. In Vegas, the casino are filled with mostly tourist that are there to have fun, not to try to win back the money they lost the night before.

I eat here regularly on my way home from the gym and the food is always far superior to anything else around the area -- tiny bit more expensive but worth it if taste, not portion size, matters to you.
It's a very small restaurant so if you're looking for a quiet place for a dinner for 1 or 2, this is your best bet.
The service is always great.

We went for lunch, taking a friend out for her birthday. We had chosen the restaurant based on the reviews here and because it was close.
The decor was beautiful, intimate and cosy. We were seated and menus brought immediately. When the waitress brought our water, we were ready to order. We all ordered one of the lunch specials (smaller portions with complimentary soup). The food is excellent, served quickly and piping hot. There was a very minor glitch in which two people got their meals and one had to wait (for over five minutes) but as the place was almost filled to capacity at that point, it was understandable. Just the amount of people there for lunch was a testament to this restaurant's reputation. I will definitely return and soon!!!

Even though it's a tiny restaurant, kinda like a hole in the wall, the food that comes out of that kitchen is out of this world. Everything tastes superior, and it is a great treat for anyone who wants to discover Indian food at its best. I have family members who are picky eaters who love this place. The taste is just so good and rich, it is well worth every penny. I suggest with larger parties to reserve in advance, or take advantage of the take out.
Suffice to say, if you like Indian food - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

The black board contains a wide variety of styles & choices of mains and always come with a choice of sides. btw- the prices are great too.To me, all restaurants should be like back to the garden. I would recommend this place to everyone. they always have fantastic food, excellent service and an owner who takes pride in his work place.

I have never been to the restaurant itself but I have sample the food catered by Yayora. I have to say that it the best catered food I have had for a long time. Catered meals are generally luke warm at best and over prepared most of the time. The food from Yayora has always been fresh, properly heated and prepared with great unique flavors. I will have to try the restaurant soon, as I heard that president Obama did on his last visit to Ottawa.

They really make the effort to make you feel comfortable and never forget your face/name! Open Jams on Thursday are a hit, come show your talent off! All around 10's!

This is hands down the best Indian food in all of Ottawa. The buffet always has fantastic selection and the dinners are excellent as well. If you're ordering to go - give at least 30 minutes for your order to be ready for pickup.
Service at lunch time is much faster than dinner time but staff are always SOOOO friendly.
overall this restaurant is 10/10 - you'd be crazy to eat anywhere else!

Very homely and the staff is friendly to talk to. A couple of friends and I had spontaneously decided to eat at Taj and then again spontaneously decided to watch a movie right across. We informed the hostess of our change of plans and requested our meal to be given a little extra attention as we had to movie to catch. They were very flexible with our plans and our meal was arrived adequately and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The food is Finger-Lickin' bloody awesome! hahah. My favourite, the Butter Chicken is just out of this world. The food was high quality and very enriching. If I go to a restaurant, I don't mind paying the extra dollars for Quality. In the end....thats what's more important. Quality and Quantity..and we were fortunate to have both. In some restaurants, one element is lacking and can decrease the enjoyment. I love the food and I will be back and I suggest you all to go. NOW. GO. NOW. hahah.

P.S. My compliments to the Chef. Keep up the delicious work!

A short drive later, we landed at British style fish and chips. The rave reviews are well deserved! I am a french fry fiend, but for the first time I ate all my fish first. I would have to say this is the best fish and chips i've ever had. Quick, friendly service, and the food was still piping hot when we got home.

We will be back!!

We go to the Dalmacia a few times a year. It is owned and operated by a very friendly husband and wife team. She does all the cooking and he takes care of the front (is even the regular waiter there). The Chicken Kiev is the best we have ever had and so is the Beef Goulash. Every meal is served with a house salad that is fresh every time or soup that is obviously home made. The servings are quite generous, so you may not have room for dessert, but if you can, you have to try their apple strudel and ice cream, a steal at under $4. If you are looking for an intimate spot for a special occasion, you can't go wrong with Dalmacia.

This is by far my favourite restaurant in Ottawa. We've been going here for almost 4 years now and it has always been excellent. I prefer their pad thai to that which you get from a Thai restaurant - it isn't too sweet or sticky. The portions are huge for the price and the service is good. The make-your-own-rice-roll platters are amazing and satisfy the pickiest eaters (ie: my husband). I can't say enough about Pho Mi Bo Ga, it is an amazing little restaurant.

The food is bursting with distinct flavours and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They always remember my preferences and modifications without me even having to mention them. I've tasted about 3/4 of all the dishes on the menu by now and I keep going back week after week. And I love that I don't have to worry about shrimp paste or fish sauce tainting the food because they don't use any.

The appetizers are about $6-$8, and the main dishes are about $12-$14. On the whole, the food here is, by far, the best vegan food I have ever eaten (Thai or otherwise). My non-vegetarian friends and family also think the food is fantastic.

The restaurant is small (maybe 20 tables?) with a lovely decor and soft background music. Parking can easily be found on Sunnyside or in one of the lots of the neighbouring stores after business hours (at your own risk I suppose, but I've never had a problem). There is informal take-out; I've seen many people walk in, order items off the menu and come back 15 minutes later to pick it up. I can't recommend this place enough!

Excellent service. Just as good as any top restaurant in Toronto. They have an assortment of fresh fish flown in daily. They place the fish on a tray and before you order they come by with it and a story about each fish. All fish on the tray are $25/ea. Some of them I have never seen in Toronto before.

Once again excellent service. Rather expensive but worth the treat once in a while.

Expect to drop $250 for two people with wine so be prepared.

The chicken balls where filled with huge pieces of chicken, and lots of crispy breading though too. There wasn\'t too much bread for the meat though.

The chicken fried rice was very good too, nice pieces of chicken and tasty rice was very good.

The spring rolls were super crispy and flaky and very large rather than the teeny weeny frozen kind you usual expect from chinese take out. They make these particular kind themselves and had a similar mix of sprouts, and that peppery type of vegetable melange like the frozen ones.

The beef chop suey was super amazing because the pieces of beef were thickly cut and not over cooked just all around juicy and tasty. The rest of the veggies were super large and tasty like the sprouts and yummy mushrooms and bok choy.

This place is amazing and you won\'t regret it! The only draw back if you want to order in is that they don\'t deliver. They are located however very close to Dupont Subway station. Love it!

The best sushi I've ever had. No, really! The salmon literally melts in your mouth. The rice is just the tiniest bit warm. The service was great, and the restaurant is quite nice inside. It faces the Broadview TTC station, which is convenient but doesn't make for the best view.

My date and I ordered a bit too much food and had a glass of wine each and the bill was about 65. Definitely reasonable. I can't recommend this place enough.

Grilled Calamari first, always. Had it everytime I've gone here. Fabulous. Never tough. Large portion. Melts in your mouth. The best I have ever had.

Normally I have the baked pasta - always yummy, but tonight I had the veal and it was to die for. Plenty of food - almost too much, done to perfection. The service is exceptional, the food is exceptional. No wonder we've eaten here over 25 times. One of Toronto's hidden gems.

My wife loves the triple mushroom carpaccio - has it every time too. (hold the capers).

I cannt say enough about this place, except that you should call for a reservation because the locals eat it up.

This place has good food, and to be honest i went here because of the stellar reviews this website has. . but i have to let the truth out, the place is a bit of a dump, the food is good but the actual restaurant leaves a lot to be desired for. We got different spicy maki rolls and they were amazing, the best part was the deep fried banana dessert, it was spectacular. worst part was NO LICQOUR LICENCE!! that sucked as I went there with a bunch of friends before a night out on COllege.. . that lost major points on the overall score.. but a cool place to visit if you don't mind not drinking alcohol and don't come in a big group.

I have been to Fusilli a number of times now, and it is by far my favourite restaurant. The restaurant is small with a warm ambiance and relaxing background music. You are welcomed like family by Owner/Chef Giuseppi Pelligra which sets the mood for a very enjoyable dining experience. We have also been greeted by another family member Rudy on other visits, as well as the talented chefs there who, you can see love working there and who all have a passion for the food that is beautifully presented.

All the times we have eaten there, Giuseppi has recommended a wonderful wine to compliment our dinner. The atmosphere is inviting for couples, groups and families equally. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the faithful patrons who eat there and have eaten there for years, and I know why: The food is incredible! If you love fresh flavours and food that is consistently delicious and hugs you like a warm blanket Fusilli is it!

I have gone to Fusilli many times, tried many dishes there with my family and have NEVER been disappointed. They also have loyal customers arriving for take-out on a regular basis.

My all time comfort food there is the Tomato Soup, the Bruschetta and the Seafood Risotto, but EVERYTHING I have tried is truly enjoyable.

BRAVO FUSILLI!

Great Italian Restaurant!

My mom, aunt and I had spent all day shopping for a mother of the bride dress, so this place was recommended to us by the owner of a bridal store.

The decor of Fusaro's is very nice and modern, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I ordered the breakfast wrap which was the best I have ever had! My aunt had the calabrese, and my mom ordered cinque panini, and they both thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The prices are very inexpensive. Three meals and coffee for each us came to only $30. I would absolutely return to this restaurant, it was unbelievable!

Probably the best Thai food we've ever had in Toronto. Very reasonable pricing and food portions (less than $10 per dish). Usually you'd have to pay at least twice that price for the kind of service they give there.

My date and I decided to drop in to this small Thai restaurant on the Danforth one night. We both love Thai food but neither of us have eaten there before so we were both a little hesitant at first. Boy, was I glad we decided to go there. The food was terrific, there aren't many Thai restaurants in Toronto that cook Thai food like the way they do in Thailand. It was a cozy place and it wasn't as loud as the other restaurants on the Danforth so it was perfect to have my date there. The staff was very polite and recommended just the right dishes for us (one of them was even a real THAI!). If you love real Thai food with the right spices, go here.

It takes a little while to get it but is very well worth the wait. The staff is very friendly, and the drinks we tried were also very good.

If you like tartar sauce, make sure you get some of theirs, it is home made and it's to die for.

I would give this place an 11/10 if I could.

It\'s a small family-run place, respectable but unimpressive from the street, tidy but utilitarian inside. We were greeted and seated instantly, served with water and menus, and given adequate time � not too long � to look over the latter before someone arrived to tell us the evening\'s specials and take our orders. The wine came at once, followed in reasonable time by the food and thereafter at intervals by our server checking discreetly to see that the meals were satisfactory, that water glasses were replenished, that the sole drinker in the party had a second glass brought promptly on request. The room lends itself to intimate conversation; the lighting was sufficient for working mussels out of their shells, but was dimmed to a cozier level toward the end of the meal. The bill, when it came, unobtrusively and just when wanted, was a pleasant surprise, and Acquolina has been added to my list of Toronto restaurants to revisit.

Great atmosphere, very pub like, and obviously very popular. We enjoyed our food at the Queen Mother Cafe, but we arrived around 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and were told we could only order appetizers, because we were there in between lunch and dinner. However, several other tables around us seemed to get hamburgers, which were on the lunch menu but not appetizer menu. Service was decent but not spectacular. Still, the appetizers were delicious and filling enough that it was almost like dinner. We'll definitely come back!

They also have a new cocktail menu created by their resident Mixologist� jordan. (make sure you ask if he can make your cocktail for you) � the balsamic bramble was yummy!!!

Brassaii has always been a favorite restaurant of mine, so i was a bit disappointed when i heard they had changed executive chefs. However when my husband and i went for dinner we both ordered new dishes from the menu and i have to admit we were both extremely satisfied. I had ordered the Miso baked black cod and my husband went with the pork tenderloin. My fish came with an interesting mango salsa and wasabi mash which was extremely delightful and mouth watering. My husband allowed me to sample a piece of his pork and combined with the caramelized pears and haricots jus made the flavour of the pork come alive. We both will be back in the near future to sample other new dishes like the Bacon wrapped filet of beef or the beef carpaccio. Overall their new executive chef, Bruce Woods, will be an exciting new addition to the Brassaii family.

I decided to visit this restaurant with my wife based on great reviews on this website. We were beyond disappointed. Our waiter approached us for our orders while we were looking at the menu. We told him we wanted more time. Then when we placed on menus down he took his time until we had to get his attention. He forgot about our drink orders. And had to be reminded after 10 minuites.

The proscuitto salad is advertised to have 'thinly sliced' pieces of proscuitto but it's actually chunky pieces of bacon.

The pasta was mediocre at best. Tasteless. The grilled sausage which comes with quail was poor. The sausage reminded me of someting you get at dennies. The quail was hard to eat with a poor bone to meat ratio.

Our waiter never asked us if we're happy with our meals. Infact we never saw him after the food was brought to our table. When we asked for the bill with full plates, there was no enquiery "was everything ok?" He just took the full plates off our tables???

There are way better italian restaurants in Toronto. It is definately not worth it. The place is poorly decorated and they use IKEA silverware. They are pretending to be a fine dinning establishement when it's simply not. The only good thing about this place is their wine list.

This is the only place in town where I can find very fresh, healthy and well priced food. For the frugale people, you can get breakfast for under $4 and lunch for under $5 before taxes. How CAN you beat that anywhere else for this type of quality?

I've been a repeat customer for over 3 years and will continue going here for as long as I can. This is the only way I could maintain my healthy diet and be as busy as I am. Petite Marche is truely an amazing place and Rosie an amazing person.

The food wasn't great. The sauce was acidic and there was little meat to be found. The prices are very reasonable at first, but once you get your food you will feel ripped off. The smallest portion I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its worth a try , if you work in the area and need a quick lunch. But the atmosphere is very dark and dingy.

I go here all of the time...it is the best pasta in my area. I usually get the whole wheat spaghetti bolognese and it is absolutely fabulous. They always cook everything up super fast and fresh. My other favourite it their cheesy garlic bread. One word: Mmmm.

By the time we finished our two plates each piled high with food, we were too full for dessert. The servers also are constantly bringing out a basket to the each tables full of fresh na'an. Service was great, our water glasses were constantly re-filled. For the amount of food that we ate, the price was unbelievable... I think it came out to like 20 bucks for two people. This was my second time there and I will definately be back.

Went for the $8.99 lunch buffet, and thought everything was quite tasty and high-quality. Flavorful with mild hotness.

My only complaint was the number of small bones in the goat curry -- had to gingerly chew to avoid hitting the many pieces of bone.

The food was amazing!!! My wife loved the pasta.... the chicken was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. The steak (medium-rare) was so juicy with the outside cooked crispy to just the right amount. The potabella mushrooms sauteed in olive oil with onions complimented the steak perfectly. Initially I chose a pizza, but changed my mind after seeing the appetizer. The waitress was nice enough to switch my order for me. Oh... and the rose she recommended went great with the dinner we had and also worked with our palettes.

Only thing that isnt great is if you eat in their restaurant, sitting in the tall chairs can be tight for space when manouvering between other peoples tables, best to sit in the leather booths. Otherwise, nice atmospere.

I actually go to this place on a weekly basis. The service is very good (be out of there within 30 minutes if needed), and the food is great. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful for those who might have questions before ordering. Definitely looks much more authentic than the inside, however if going for lunch, definitely try to make it right at twelve. No need to wait around endlessly for help, staff is always there and sushi as well as teriyaki is fantastic. Strongly recommended!

I\'ve been going here at least once a week for over a year now. The fish is always fresh and the dishes well prepared. Sure, there are better more expensive restaurants, but none provide better value for your money than Miyake. The staff is super nice and the food is what great food should be: no frills, no bells and whistles, just simple, well made, well priced, and well presented food.
I\'ve been to Hiro, Japango, and a host of other \"high-end\" sushi places both here in t.o. and Vancouver, but I definitely count Miyake as one of my favourites.

Was really looking forward to eating here had heard great things and read the previous reviews.
The service was good and the atmosphere was great, they did a really nice job with renovations.

The food unfortunatly was a joke, we love Mexican food and were very dissapointed, the portions were very small, we both had the burrito and Chimichanga combos, we were still hungry when we were finished and it tasted very dry and somewhat processed, so not very athentic.......

Needless to say we will not be going back or recomending it to anyone that has a love for Mexican food.

Affordable comfort pub food and good music is where its at, and the Blue Moon hits the spot. Quickly becoming an indie-mecca for bands and artists alike, this long and narrow, newly-renovated bar and restaurant is home to the bustling Queen East scene. Drawing solid crowds for its Thursday night open jams and the weekend band shows, and boasting local gallery art on its walls, 2 foosball tables, and several screens to watch the good ol' hockey game on - the Blue Moon has everything you'll need to keep you entertained and eating until the kitchen closes. Ample seating and tables, vintage couches and exposed brick walls make it easy to get comfortable there, and you should because this place feels like you could sit around eat and drink there forever (or at least until closing time). Definitely worth checking out, over and over and over again.

A Favourite

I've been there twice in the past 10 days - and I don't eat out very often!

I have tried: Almond Encrusted Chicken, Lamb burger, Chicken Babotie (they used to have an excellent Babotie-style burger that I guess wasn't as popular as it deserved), Peanut Buter Chocolate Silk Pie and most of their brunch offering! Weekly specials start on Fridays. Brunch is served all week! It's true: weekday brunch with benedict, lemon ricotta pancakes and mimosas as well as ommletes, french toast and sandwiches called Bobby Mac (after the owner who's name is Bob).

Cute little patio in the summer. Great big windows and an open style kitchen.

The service is great and (thankfully) friendly to people with small children without letting the quality of your restaurant experience suffer. The older female server who said she had 2 children of her own was especially doting on my friend who brought her 2 week old along. We really appreciated Stoneface Dolly's welcoming child-friendly policy.

Those few grownup guardians who allow ill-behaved and disruptive children to run a-mock in restaurants give parents a bad name. As a young mom, I had trouble finding a good quality family-friendly option, other than Stoneface Dolly's! I go there all the time now with my husband, my colleagues and friends.

I had been to Kramer's a couple of years ago - and enjoyed it then, but they've since changed ownership and renovated. The space is very cozy, clean and inviting, service was top drawer, and the food was great.

It's a little more upscale than your average pub food - but at the pub price-point. I would put Kramer's in the resto-pub or resto-bar category.

I ended up checking out their Karaoke show at the end of the week with a couple of friends(Kraoke runs on Fri & Sat.) The host has great sound and crowd is very welcoming and enthusiastic (for those of us who are shy) .

I would recommend Kramers for a great meal, or just a great time if you love Karaoke.

Apparently they've now got live music (an open jam night) on Thursdays - I'm planning to check out their rooftop patio which opens sometime in May...I'll post a review afterwards.

Check this place out, it's bound to become your new local

Went today for the $10.99 lunch buffet, and they had THE BEST BUTTER CHICKEN that I think I\'ve ever had!

Butter chicken is often bland or softly flavored -- not here. It\'s got tons of flavor without the hotness, giving it a distinct personality.

Everything else on the buffet was also above-average,including a curry chicken that was quite different from the usual curry, so I don\'t hesitate to recommend Little India.

I visited them a few time by now and I\'ve never been dissapointed! Ok there is usualy a line but I have to admit that it\'s well worth the wait!
The whole staff is very friendly and fast even considering that it is allways very busy!
I usualy go for the gyro in a pita and fries which is a blast. this time I had bifteki (ground meat stuffed with feta cheese). The \"dinner plates\" come with a choise of salad and (plain) fries. I decided to go for the greek fries which are topped with feta cheese. Well the whole meal was awsome and acctually too much for me as the salad is acctualy almost a whole meal! the taste is fresly grilled and authentic too.
The only little complain I have is when the side dishes are coming a bit before the meal itself and tend to get cold. But that happens not rather rare so I won\'t deduct points for that :)

Well the prices are aslo very reasonable and I think very cheap. I think one gets an excelent deal!

If you like greek food and not just pita give it a try. It will be well worth it!

When we first got to the resturant there was confusion between the line for sitting down and the take out line. Both were popular, but i think the seating guy was new. Once this was sorted out, we were seated quickly, and menu's given. Water was delivered and orders taken. The food came out quickly, and the portions were really big. I weigh 210, and i'm generally a big guy, so i ordered a "double chicken gyro pita". It comes with a greek salad (most authentic, best greek salad i've ever had), 2 gyros and a choice of side (potatoes, rice or fries). I made a mistake. i should have just got one gyro. I couldn't get through all the food. Half of my side was left, one whole gyro was untouched, and yeah...i have lunch for tomorrow.

The meal was excellent, well beyond expectation.

Then came the greek dancer. She was amazing. Very pretty, and obviously well practiced at the dancing. She was interacting with the patrons and asked my wife to dance (she was holding her gyro at the time, so she said no). The music is a bit loud during this time, but it adds to the atmosphere, definatly doesn't take away from it.

Great choice overall, i highly recommend this place!

This is probably one of the best tasting sushi I've ever had. The service and atmosphere are fine, but it's the food itself and the value that brings me back. It's also in a great area of the city.
My favourite item is the ginger wasabi roll- it's a change from regular rolls as it has no rice and it just tastes incredible. The sashimi is very fresh and they use great cuts so it melts in your mouth- no stringiness!
The chefs at Sushi Inn put great effort into making beautiful and delicious meals. I've been to a ton of sushi restaurants and this remains the tastiest.

The most underwhelming dining experience in recent memory considering the cost of the meal for five, including wine, was in the order of $800.00.

Our previous visits were much, much better and hence our son decided to celebrate his birthday there.

The description for the Classics Tasting Menu alluded to a gourmet dining experience based on dishes that the Restaurant has had tremendous success with. Unfortunately, the food was bland and lacked the flavours that are expected from a restaurant of this calibre.

To make matters worse, the waiter attending to our table, knowing in advance that we were celebating a birthday, did not provide appropriate or attentive service, having us wait prolonged periods of time for drinks and to have our water and bread replinished.

This restaurant has a stellar location which requires serious attention to food and sevice in order to provide an exquisite and memorable dining experience. Unfortunately, this family meal was a complete bust.

It was quite disappointing. The soup was warm to cold. The schnitzel was quite bland (almost flavourless) and not thin enough as it should be. The Zurcher was okay but nothing more. We asked one waiter for some water after our dinner and he never came back with it. Another waiter who took our dessert order did not know much information about the desserts. Overall not worth the high price we paid for it.

We were treating with a warm welcome right from the start....the environment was really nicely designed as they changed the decor & appearance of the dinning room.
Our food didnt take long at all and as for the tenderness of the steak, melted in my mouth.. it was so delicious and well seasoned & full of taste!
Would definately go there again....

Simply fantastic! I've had gone there for the first time by my friend's recommendation and returned god-knows-how-many times with my family! Hands down, one of the best AND affordable places to eat great tasting food. Ditch the pita sandwiches though, a little on the soggy and messy side. Gotta keep in mind that some of their dishes such as tabouleh have been watered down to accomodate its location's white collar folks' rather mundane palate. Quick but absent-minded borderline amateurish service.

Food:

The taste of most dishes was far from fabulous, almost pedestrian. The portions were somewhat small and left us with a feeling that something was still lacking. What was lacking? Ah, yes, more food. My scores to follow: (Out of 10)

Beef Striploin Carpaccio � 6 (Beef was a little dry, and the ingredients seemed �separate�, never really melded together properly)
Alberta Lamb Ribs � 7.5 (Tasted a lot like Chinese style braised ribs)
Grilled Octopus � 7
Wild Boar Agnolotti � 6.5
Fettuccini Bolognese � 6 (If Pavarotti sang for more, it must have been because the portion was small. I was truly, truly disappointed.)
Maltagliati with Lobster � 8
Roasted Young Duck � 9.5 (* Best dish of the night by far)
Veal Scaloppini - 5
Molten Chocolate Torte � 6.5
Ice-cream � 7.5

Service:

Good friendly service, nothing over the top, but definitely above average. Our server was friendly and attentive. My only complain was the Maitre D�s �lack of interest� and apparent bad mood (never cracked a smile). It must have been a rough day for her.

Atmosphere:

It was warm and comfortable. My fianc� loved the candle holders. Again, the d�cor and ambience was nothing to write home about, but very adequate and welcoming.

Summary:

�Let down� is how I felt as we left the restaurant. To be fair, this was mostly due to the high expectations we carried into the restaurant. Don�t get me wrong, the food wasn�t bad, but the quality of the food left me wondering, �Chef Massimo, where are you?� Perhaps Chef Massimo and Chef Derek were on vacation? It was Christmas season, after all. Would I visit again? I�d like to give them another chance, but what if Chef was on vacation again? Hmm�

This is the freshest food in Toronto. It's delicious and home cooked. The only thing is that you pay in time, they take a lot of care in the prep so you have to wait almost 15-20 min. for your food.

Would I go back? Most definately, hopefully the food quality has not deterioated like other establishments that I no longer frequent (Sunrise).
Please keep up the good quality of food and I look forward (mouth watering ) to my return

THE BEST SOUPS IN THE CITY!!! Polish soups are great and the daily specials at Cafe Polonez always include a soup OR TWO of the day. Delicious and always homemade!

Excellent cabbage rolls � a perfect blend of rice and meat, wrapped in cabbage leaf and topped with tomato sauce. A Polish classic done right!

There�s a dish which includes a large potato pancake served with goulash. TO DIE FOR. This is the only thing my husband ever wants. I believe it�s called Hungarian style but I might be wrong.

The hunter stew uses top notch kielbasa mixed in with shredded sauerkraut. It has a wonderful hardy, early flavour and will definitely fill anyone�s craving for traditional Polish fare.

The hunter stew, as well as most other dishes on the menu, are available in half-sizes. Not many restaurants do this. It�s a great option!!! - especially for people trying Polish food for the first time and want to try a variety of items� or simply for smaller appetites.

The pierogi (one of the staples of Polish food) are very well done. So much so, in fact, that I believe they freeze them and supply them to local delis and supermarkets around the city.

I also enjoy the nalesniki (crepes served with your chose of cheese or fruit filling). A nice option for a main or a dessert.

Finally, drinks! Cafe Polonez offers a wide variety of delicious polish beers. Zywiec, Okocim, Lech, Tyskie, etc.

They also make their own traditional compote drink. It�s a fruit and water concoction that�s boiled in a pot with maybe some honey? I�m not sure. It�s very soothing. Usually served chilled but I�m sure you can ask for it heated if you prefer. It�s non-alcoholic, by the way.

Service is always very cheery and servers speak both Polish and English. D�cor is simple and casual but always clean and well kept.

The owners sometimes shut down after Christmas/New Years for a few weeks so call ahead if you plan on going around then.

The Beer Bistro is a fabulous spot just off the financial district - consistently great food - friendliest service in the downtown. Just around the corner from Yonge and King, right off the subway. A nice patio in the summer. Management have created a local legend with good taste and super cooking. Lovely decor with a faux Belgian flavour. I strongly suggest a reservation a day in advance - it is a very hot lunch spot and almost impossible to get into on Thurs and Friday nights. The bar is a major hangout for insurance / financial services types but never degenerates into a "meet market". The only entrees / appetizers on the menu we are ever a bit iffy on are the lobster related items... Try the Oatmeal Stout on tap if you are a Guinness lover - it is a revelation. The wine list is a bit uninspired, but it is the BEER bistro after all. If you are a visitor to Toronto and want to experience a truly local restaurant, it can't be beat.

After reading extremely positive reviews on this site, we visited Detroit for what should have been a gastronmic delight. We think that the reviews were written by the owner's family or frozen food supplier.
The restaurant was dark and far from spotless.
The home made burger was dry, overcooked and loaded with garlic.
The fries and onion rings were made from frozen (not the good frozen either)
The ONLY thing we liked was the large TV screen showing the ball games. Took our mind off the food.
The prices reflected the quality of the food. You get what you pay for.
If you're looking for a great burger with fresh cut fries and onion rings, go to Golden Star on Yonge north of Steeles or Burger Shack on Eglnton at Mt. Pleasant.

I have been there for lunch and dinner on several occassions.

The quality of the food varies from excellent to lousy. Sometimes food served should be thrown in the garbage because it is dried out, especially the potatoes and the chicken. Better care should be taken by staff to ensure the food is of the highest quality. The fish has alwyas been a good experience. I'd like to see them get consistently good quality on the chicken and potatoes because these are excellent when the quality is good. The Pateis is always awsome.
It took some time for their piri piri sauce to grow on me but I have come to really like it, though not as much as the sauce at Churasco of St. Clair.

The staff have always been welcoming and the service good. Overall, when the food is good, it's really good but it can also be somewhat lousy at times due to the serving of food that is dried out and tough. When the food is good, they get a 10, when it's lousy, I'd give them a 4.

The food is always very excellent and authentic here. Of course its packed at lunch but service was still good. Sashimi and sushi is always excellent. The lunch menu is limited than the dinner. At dinner time they have some harder to get authentic items not found in other Japanese restaurants like oshitashi (Japanese style cold cooked spinach). Tani-san is always at the sushi bar and I prefer the more relaxed and personal attention one gets at dinner time. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant for authentic Japanese cuisine - you should visit at dinner because of their expanded menu selection at and a relaxed atmosphere at dinner time. Try the Omakase which means you let Tani-san decide what to feed you and one surprise after another comes to delight the senses. I tried the Dinner for 3 at dinner time with two other guys from the office and we really enjoyed it. It had multiple courses with good balance of meat for us guys and some sushi to start as well. One of the most authentic and best sushi in Toronto hands down! Highly recommend.

Very friendly, warm welcome, aided by a complimentary shrimp appetizer! Service was outstanding, the perfect balance between professional, polite and amiable, with water glasses kept filled, dishes cleared quickly, etc. The Golden Classic combination was fun with lots of little courses brought out in succession, often prettily presented, such as with the fresh orchid decorating the hot rum sauced bananas. Two of these combos plus an extra order of pad thai fed our group (incl. one child) so the portions, though small, were plentiful. Everything was fresh and delicious, with no corners cut as at other Thai restaurants (e.g. the shrimp chips were huge, rather than the smaller packaged kind, with their accompanying, spicy peanut sauce light years ahead of the usual goop). Especially loved the lemon shrimp soup and shrimp coated in black and white sesame seeds (and of course those bananas...). Decor is very attractive and romantic, lots of chandeliers, Thai artifacts etc. Just a great experience and highly recommended. Go!

We happened upon this restaurant while walking by - going in for dinner was one of the best decisions ever.
The food was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and when we got the bill, I nearly laughed out loud. The same quality of meal (if you're lucky enough to even find that) in Yorkville would have been $120/person easily. The wait staff was fun and friendly, that just made the whole experience better.
We'll be back, and am telling all our friends.

I was there last night with a group of 25 people. We ate and drank from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and followed up at the bar on the casino floor. We had a great time dancing and drinking and took a few group pictures. At this point everything turn for the worst. A female security stop us dancing on the dance floor and insist on seeing the pictures that one of my friends took. An argument took place and she left. 10 minutes later, the head of security came and singled my friend and and took him aside. What ever ensue did not seem pleasant. It really put a damper on our night. I give their service a big thumbs down and highly recommend they send their staff on a public relations course.

Wonderful atmosphere and great service.
The fusion style of Asian food in a tapas setting is excellent!
The Singoporean Slaw is a must for any newbie to Lee.
It is located close to the Theater district also!
I will be going back for sure!

We got there and the waitress came over to give us menus apologizing that she had been hit with a 10 and a 20 person party in her section (we figured as much when we saw the groups). We told her not to worry about it and she told us that she had two tables to take orders for before us and then she would be back. My wife ordered an apple juice to keep her busy while I got a coffee. Little did we know that the beverages would be a sign of things to come.

It took another 5 or 10 minutes for us to get our beverages and when they came neither of us was particularly impressed. The apple juice tasted like that terrible apple juice from concentrate we all used to get at school as kids in the plastic cups with the aluminum tops. The coffee was burned and not particularly tasty.

The waitress came by and took our order but only after she had taken the order of another table that had arrived after us. I noticed this and mentioned it to my wife but we decided not to stress the small things and figured that the waitress was probably close to losing it anyways given that it was apparent that she had the whole half of the bar that we were seated in to contend with.

Eventually we both ordered the eggs benedict and I asked for a side of rye toast. At this point we overheard the waitress telling people who came in and sat near us that the kitchen was backed up and it would take anywhere from 20 - 25 minutes for their orders to be processed. My wife and I looked at each other but went back to reading our papers.

Over an hour after we placed our order the food finally came. I would like to say it was worth the wait but it was not. The only thing that was redeemable about the whole affair was the choice of ham used by the restaurant in the preparation of the eggs benedict. Neither of us got our eggs the way we asked, the hollandaise was terrible (it would have been preferrable that they use a packaged sauce than feed us what they prepared), the hash browns were battered and deep fried tasting like more like grease than potatoes and the "mixed fruit" that came with it was really just two types of melon. All this for $9 a pop. Even the rye toast was barely toasted and not particularly good.

After our breakfast was done I asked for the bill and 20 minutes later, when it was not produced, my wife decided to walk home for some exercise and I waited another 20 minutes and finally got the bill.

To be fair to the waitress she was a pleasant as could be asked despite having a number of irate customers to deal with but the food was not worth the wait. Save your money and go to Lieutenant's Pump down the street. The eggs benedict is worth the $9 and the service is spot on.

My wife and I enjoy dining at the Sparks location when we cycle. It is one of our favorite locations. On Saturday we were at the location about 2 pm. We sat down and observed that the tables had not been bused. People were leaving because of poor service. Despite this being our destination for the day we left the location because of poor service and the tables not being cleaned. We were very disappointed.

I had always loved The Mill Restaurant for the decor and the absolutely wonderful food and came regularily in the 80's and 90's. What on earth has happened? Ottawa is hot and humid in summer and this day was no exemtpion but they had heat blasting in. After I inquired twice from the waiter he finally checked it out and said it works on and off and is broken that day so they put a chair in front of a side door to let in some air.
The food was very poor quality with dried out chicken and undercooked vegies with the exception of the baked potato which was over done and dried out. My prime rib was had no pink in it and I had ordered medium done. Lacked flavour.It was not the same great Mill it used to be. I hope new managment takes over because it is still a beautiful restaurant in a lovely old mill. We sadly wont go back.We were very dissappointed.

I went there for lunch with a friend once. NEVER AGAIN. We had a nice view, but that's about the only positive thing I have to say. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with the spaghetti. The chicken was like pressed brown meat. Anyways, it was not a good chicken breast. And the spaghetti - noodles with the cheapest tomato sauce you can find. Classico does an better canned sauce. And this is suppose to be 'chic'?? Very overrated.

This Albert street location used to be good, but starting in early 2006, dropped sharply in quality to the point that it is no longer worthy of being recommended unless changes are made. Cooking is uneven in quality, freshness sometimes left to be desired. As was pointed out below, for sit-in dining, preferences in services and food preparation will be made rather unsubtly.

There are much better Asian restaurants not too far away (New Asian Retaurant on Bank at Cooper for example) that has made this once-staple a relic, unless they change their style. (Tea is not always free, but cookies should be...)

This place is terrible. The waitress was rude and miserable. The food shouldn't even be classified as food. We felt like we were intruding on the waitress as she had better things to do then serve us. It took her forever to bring our bill and then as we were leaving she rushed over to check how much of a tip we gave her, then argued with us about her non-existent tip!!! Never again!

I eat at Monkey Joe's about 8 times a summer when my sports are nearby. The food is always good...I've never been disappointed nor has the rest of the team expressed dissatisfaction with the food. Their veggie burger is one of the best in the city...really, really good. Their fajitas are tasty...lots of guac, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, onions and the veggies weren't too big. The service sometimes is a little slow but it's hard to tell what it would be like if we weren't a group of 10 or more. When the food comes out though, it's all at the same time which is nice. That takes a lot of coordination with groups that big. The staff is friendly even with some "trying" people. I'd go more if I lived in the area.

I AGREE with MANY customers here! The service from some staff leaves much to be desired - it is LOUSY! A terrible attitude problem. They act as if it is their God-given right to get a tip for bad service! I concur with previous critiques here as to why they did NOT leave a tip - hence, I am NOT the only one who walked out without leaving anything for their poor behaviour. On top of that, when my sister called the nect day, they made fun of her and belittled her. Mark my words, we are from an authenticated noble bloodline and you do not treat people like this - no matter who they are! The LEAST they should have done was APOLOGIZE and this is FAR from it! I was with a friend from Austria and I felt so bad to have our area portrayed like this! Too bad the owner is blind to this! Here is my experience:

A friend and I went for a late supper last night at Monkey Joe\'s on Carling Avenue in Ottawa (so I have a witness). When we arrived, the bartender who was also waiting on nearby tables took a long time to come and take our order. Then I asked if we could get extra napkins and he acted as if he ignored us and went on about some menial tasks and also served other people and I was getting peeved as he did not even come to serve us our drinks even later while he served people who arrived AFTER we did. Finally, after he took our order the food arrived (it was really good - kudos to the cook! We had nachos with extra olives and beef - delicious - the best in town I think.) The service from the bartender we had was LOUSY (there is another guy at times and he is much better behaved and nicer with the customers). When he had taken our order, I mentioned that I wanted extra napkins. He kept on about his puttering around at tasks less important than taking care of us (such as putting the leftover of Scotch bottle into a newer one, moving stuff on the bar, and so on. . .). The food arrived and I asked if we could have some sour cream please. The bartender acknowledged my request because he stated, \'So you want some sour cream with that then...\' to which I replied \'yes\' - so he was definitely not deaf nor did he miss my request. At no time during our meal did he come to ask if everything was fine. The place was not very busy at all as we arrived at 11:00 PM. The entire meal went on and no sign of the sour cream which I love to have with nachos. . . When I tried to speak to him a few times as few passed behind the bar he behaved as if he was ignoring me. We ate well and could not finish the shared nachos so I picked up the plate as the server never came to see us for ANYTHING during the meal and finally we were there waiting for the bill and anxious to get out. . . I took the plate to the back kitchen and found a nice waitress there and asked her if she could \'take home bag\' what was left of our nachos and told her I was so upset at the BAD service that I was not about to give the bartender ANY tip and I was concerned he could seek revenge on us if he knew he was not going to get a tip and maybe he would do something to our food - spit in our food or something (you never know these days - I do not take ANY chances with food). So she returned the take hime parcel with a little cup of sour cream which we did not get to enjoy with our meal (as I had explained to her that he had finished our meal without it). My friend then asked for the bill as we wanted to leave. The bill arrived, my friend paid by placing the money on the bar and finally the bartender came to pick up the money - at which time, I stated to please return the exact change. He overpaid us by three pennies (not a big deal). However, I was not about to leave him ANY tip but I left a nickel on the bill on the bar for him as a loud message for his lousy service. As we were headed toward the door he stated, �Hey you, you can keep this alright� (talking about the nickel) and added another very poor comment to me and said that I could keep the [\'F\' word profane word] lousy nickel and threw it at me in front of other patrons. I stated to him, �Did you see any sour cream at any time during our meal? Did you come back to ask us if everything was fine during our meal? How long did it take you to bring the napkins? You are a lousy waiter and you did NOT deserve a tip � and I am not to blame for this � you are!� He told me to get out and �never [again \'F\' word profanity] come back here� in front of the other customers. Outside, the manager was talking to someone and my friend waited for me a few minutes as he listened in to my expressing a complaint to him about the lousy service we got and how the bartender humiliated me in front of other customers when he was at fault for the bad service. I have been a customer of that place for over 20 years and I told him I was thinking of never coming back after this. What had started as a nice evening turned into a fiasco and ruined our meal experience as we concentrated more on the poor service which ruined the evening despite that the food was good. The manager was gracious and told us he would speak to him. Trust me, if I had a waiter or bartender like that behaving like this to my customers, he would see the door pretty fast. To treat customers and lack respect toward them in such manner was so blatant and terrible (I forgot some of the slurs this guy used toward me too) was brought home so much that in my view it is a real business killer. You do NOT expose a customer to such PUBLIC humiliation when the waiter/bartender is at fault for such miserable service! - and, I told this to the manager. As we left and drove off, I mentioned to my friend that I forgot to tell the manager that the bartender told me never to come back there and the choice words he used to humiliate me in public. The experience left such a sour note for me that I am seriously NOT going back for a VERY LONGGGGGGGGG time � or, as my friend put it, �If we go back and he is there, we walk out and go somewhere else!� I used to bring BIG family groups there on visits and now NO MORE! I am NOT going to take the risk of exposing my family to this moron! The �customer is always right� (or at least should be ALWAYS treated with a high level of RESPECT did NOT pass the test here! And I never got any apology from anyone either. If he had been my employee, he would be in the unemployment line that very night and I am sure that in these hard economic times, a better bartender with better manners would be found to replace him in no time as many people are looking for work. If he does not give a hoot about his job � I sure would not either if I was the boss! Food for thought

I must say, this place is a real hidden gem, the food and service provided was exceptional, and they had undergone vast improvements inside of the restaurant. We went in a group of 10 and everyone received their food/drinks at a good time, we never had to touch our bottle of wine throughout the night, as well we we're entertained by their musician as well as their magician! Ignore all these bad reviews, you won't be disappointed! my one piece of advice is to make your reservations earlier (6-7) because there are separate reservations on the tables for nightclub

We used to go to Chu Shing fairly regularly as they have tasty general tao chicken and other dishes. However one evening we ordered and the bak choy came out first as usual and after a few bites into it we found what looked like a caterpillar cooked in with the bak choy. We spoke with the restaurant manager and their only response was that it happens sometimes because bugs get into the vegetables. They did not seem to care in the least and took the dish back and brought out a new one. Needless to say, I wasn\\\'t interested in eating at that ponit.

First of all I must start with; $35.00 each for brunch! If I had been told the price, I would have never ate there anyway but since the servers did not happen to mention that their below par buffett was that expensive I feel that I was completely taken for a ride.
So on to the food, if you like rubbery scrambled eggs, hard cantaloupe, dry toast, aunt jamima pancakes, frozen minute made oj, cold turkey/chicken, macaroni/lasagna casarole of some sort this is the place for you...catch my drift? ...
Brunch is not difficult and should NOT be $35.00!...

OVERPRICED!!! Funny thing is that their special sandwich of the day is more expensive then if it was not on special. Ex. egg sandwich on special $7.99 but regular day on the menu its $4.99. WOW!! Side plates are insanely expensive...extra anything is charged. ex. Onions $0.50, sour cream $3.99, Chocolate $1.99.

The only good thing is the service. The hostess was very nice and the server was helpful as well. The only reason I would ever go back is to get the tel# of the hostess.

Nice atmosphere. Tables a little snug, but it was a big party.
Food was pleasant, veggie servings were on the skimpy side. My B/f and I both hated the sweet sauce on the bison, but the meat was nice.
THE BIG PROBLEM:
Our server was embarassingly slow.
We had to ask for water refills.
coffee refills were offered once, he filled our glasses HALFWAY and never came back to top them off with a new pot or ask if we wanted more.
Steak knives were not delivered with our meals, nor salt, pepper, or parmesan.
Three people ate cold food because the server kept forgetting the knives.
Maybe it was his first night, but I've never had to ask for so many things, so many times! One request was never enough!
ANd it took FOREVER to get the bill (despite, you guessed it, asking multiple times)
I would not go back.

Attention: be careful not to confuse this place with Roses Cafe on Gladstone. Rose's Cafe Wellington is an Indian food restaurant with live Jazz on Saturday evenings, that's what I'm reviewing here. We almost ended up in the wrong place!

What could be better than a nice atmosphere, a friendly staff, live jazz music, and delicious indian food? I was in heaven. The prices were reasonable ($16 for the buffet, 11 for the dosa), esp. given how good the food was. Even the buffet food was very tasty, and I have been to many Indian food restaurants for buffet meals. The soup was delicious and included with the meals.

The owner (or manager, don't know) was present and very friendly and going around to the tables asking if everything was satisfactory. The staff were friendly and competent.

My only *very* slight disappointment was that I forgot to specify non-spicy for the dosa, and the waitress forgot to ask, so I ate only spicy parts of it. My wife tasted the spicy parts, she loves spicy food. As with most restaurants nowadays they packed up what I couldn't eat.

It was our first time there. I highly recommend the place, esp. on a Saturday night with the live Jazz.

You would have no reason to go to Caf? Nicole unless you were an unadventurous visitor or pressed for time for lunch during a conference at the Novotel.

They try to offer something for everyone, but no flair, and a little pricy.

If you are there with a group, beware the gratuity calculated into the bill.

We ordered two NY Steak striploins, One Medium well and other well done. We got one that was Medium well to be medium rare. The Well done one came out as Medium with very obvious pink in the center. I mean my 14 year old makes better steaks than that, no exaggeration. The only reason I went there was because it was cold & Slippery and it was snowing. I would not make that mistake ever. It would have been better if I would have walked upto Rideau Center next door and had something from Richtree Market or Andalous Shawarma. Seriously I would suggest avoid Nicole's Cafe at all cost. Novotel is awesome but Cafe Nicole is terrible.

I was so looking forward to going to this resto only to be disappointed. To me a server with a smile that makes you feel welcome is an absolute must. This waitress had no smile, no welcoming manners, didn't even say hello, took our order. Then I misread the lunch menu and thought I had a soup - so I asked don't I get a soup.....she looked at me with mean eyes, she sighed, went to get the menu and showed me. I felt like a child being scolded. I didn't feel good being there....I was going to ask for a fork ....but decided not to.....I left $0.00 in tip. Not impressed at all. I'll never go back there nor will I promote it. The food was OK not the best.

The food was wonderful not too spicy, but a good introduction and yes, you do eat with your hands, picking up bits of the meat, veg and sauce with torn flatbread. One shock was the bread is cold. Would have expected warm or room temperature.

Service was a bit spotty, but I think this is well known about this establishment. Would go back again.

This review goes back to a dinner that I had there a few weeks ago. I found the pizza almost tasteless (e.g. cheap veggies and modified cheese) and the choice of wine very limited. Also, some sanitation conditions or practices were questionable. For example, I noticed that the ice cubes that were used to cool drinks were taken from the same sink that was used to chill bottles of wine and other containers. Even worse, in a corner behind the bar, water leaked from the roof during a rainstorm. Then I realized that this dirty water was collected in the same pail that was previously used to scoop ice cubes from the ice machine. Other spaces or equipment in the food preparation, bar and dining areas also seemed to have been neglected for a long while. The leaking roof might be more than a sanitation hazard; it might also be a safety hazard (water infiltration inside the ceiling) for both the staff and the customers with all the rainstorms that we are getting these days. I was told that the ceiling partially fell apart a while ago. This restaurant should be inspected by a Public Health Inspector.

This is a local pub where the beer is cold, everyone knows each other and we have lots of laughs. The food is adequate, but if you are a couple or a group of people looking for great service, fantastic food, you came to the wrong place. The pub is a little run down so you may feel it is also dumpy. As I said, it is a local pub with friendly staff and a great, friendly regular clientele, but not a pub that will impress on your first visit.

The only reason we went here was because we had a coupon. They seated us in a table we couldn't really even reach, surronded by noisy drunk dinners. We asked to switch and were brought to another small table right next to the door. No privacy and it was freezing cold from the door opening so much. We were told we could not switch to another table even though there were tons on the main floor and on the floor above. Instead we sat in our winter jackets with hats and mitts on! Not accessible for such a nice location.

Service was slow and hard to get. Food was ok but nothing to rave about considering the price. Have more coupons for this restaurant but will not be returning because of the expensive price and poor service.

A friend and I went last night since I've been craving ribs for a while. The ribs are great, as usual and you can get different sauce despite the other comments here. I just wish they would serve coleslaw with the ribs, instead of the corn bread. When I first started going to Montana's, I really liked the corn bread, but now it's just too sticky and sweet and they don't even give you butter for it. Also, the ribs should come in a half rack serving. The new menu looks intriguing and I'd like to come back and try something different.

We started off with the Caesar Salad which had so much dressing and salt that our throats began to burn (even my boyfriend who has an insane tolerance for salt was appalled and could not continue eating). Then I received my prime rib steak, which for presentation was already horrible (granted, it was just a steak on a small plate, not garnished) and the 'creamy garlic mashed potatoes' came at the end of the meal. The worst part was that the mashed potatoes tasted like FELT band-aids!!! I did not even know that was possible! Service was extremely slow and the customers behind us was a loud and obnoxious family who's cell phone kept ringing, and while they shouted over the phone their obscenities, we were forced to eat in silence. I was not impressed!

I have visited this restaurant twice... although disgusted the first time, returned because of the beautiful tables and unique decor... with the hopes that maybe the second time around would be better!
the soup i would definately recommend, and the vegetables with bbq pork in a ginger sauce was good... but hardly any meat could be found! Definately a rip off considering the size/lack of ingrediants.
The egg rolls lacked in taste immensely...
and the Thai chicken basil meal... very dissapointing... The crispy beef was mediocre... and the tofu wasn't very impressive.

The service was even worse... the first time the waitress talked/babbled on about the great food for long periods of time and telling her life story about how she got the job... and interrupting our group to do so.
The waiter took a while to get drinks and a menu to the table. He was too pre-occupied socializing... even after we had ordered he walked to a group and started chatting which was extremely frustrating... considering the length of time it took for him to bring out a menu... then he never came back even when we needed another drink.

Food quality needs work... and the service is atrocious... the atmosphere is wonderful. i would recommend admiring the place for a second... then bolting.

Appalling food - greasy and served with sauces that tasted like they came out of a supermarket bottle. No real flavour.

I told the server that I had a severe allergy to seafood and barely received an acknowledgement from him. Luckily, I carry an Epipen and chose my food carefully - and had others to taste-test anything suspicious.

The Chef's Salad consisted of supermarket baby greens with shredded carrot and 1/8 of a tomato, accompanied by a plastic squeeze bottle of "ginger" dressing (didn't have much ginger flavour). The Steak Teriyaki was half fat and coated with store-bought sauce. Rice side dish arrived partway through the meal and was lukewarm - still the best part of the meal, though.

Others at the table ordered Shrimp Tempura and couldn't eat the five shrimp provided as they were so greasy. The Chicken Bites didn't seem to have a) much meat, b) flavour, or c) any crispness. Frozen chicken fingers would have been better. Plates were ungarnished.

The only appetizer that looked appetizing was the Sushi Combination. The person who ordered that enjoyed it - most of the other appetizers had a lot remaining on the plate when they went back to the kitchen.

Lousy service - no consistency or planning in food delivery. Some members of our party reported that the greeter couldn't figure out the reservation.

The server knocked over a drink and dripped a hot sauce onto two members of our party while serving entrees. He apologised and provided extra napkins and replaced the beverage, but the person had Coke from hip to knee. The person who had the hot stuff spilled on her wasn't hurt, but no remediation was offered - not even to cover the dry cleaning bill for her suit jacket.

A piece of Chocolate Mousse Cake came at the end of the meal to "make up" for the Coke spill (maybe the sauce spill, too?) with a handful of forks so it could be shared. Nothing appealing about the mousse cake - it was a slice of a commercial frozen cake that anyone could get at their local greasy spoon.

We all made a speedy exit from the restaurant as soon as the bill was paid - there's no ambiance or anything that would encourage anyone to linger. Thank goodness it was a company dinner - I wouldn't have paid for my meal if it was on my tab.

The food is passable, won't make you sick but it won't get you to come back either. The real issue with them is the lack of basic customer service: they practice false advertising, argue with customers, charge you for items you didn't order (and didn't receive), refuse to refund the difference or provide you with the companies contact points (address/phone number...). Needless to say, I will not return.

Went to Don Cherry's to watch the Pride fighting this past Saturday. The place was jam packed but the staff was very friendly and helpful for finding a table for the two of us.

Service was very fast considering how busy it was and we received our food fast and hot. Unfortunately the Cherry chips are very bland, I thought they would be like the cactus cuts at Boston Pizza but they ended up tasting like potato chips. Felt a bit ripped off for paying 7 dollars for a bag of regular chips. My gf's wrap was tasty portion was a bit small but aside from the bad food experience the service was great and the place was clean.

Picture this, finally a night out with my wife without kids. Living in Ottawa we rarely get the chance to get to the market due to family, so for our night off we head there.

It's been a while since we have gone to the Fish Market, so hey why not.

Oh, my what a mistake.

In the middle of dinner, there is some bad luck and the fire alarm goes off, everyone needs to leave. About 3/4 of an hour later we are allowed to go back in, our food has been taken away to be re-cooked (I assume via Microwave). This turned average food into nothing better then eating a rubber chicken.

Here is the insult though, the bill came and everything was full price. On my way out the door I questioned the rational for not discounting at least the $10 appetizer (after all the total bill was 140).

The response from the hostess shocked me. "We lost so much business because of the fire alarm, we can't afford to."

Now there is a customer first attitude.

Cheers
Ben

Having grown up on the east coast I have a very good idea of how seafood should taste. I took my girlfriend here for our 2 year anniversary, I ordered the maritime platter which is a 50 dollar plate, and she ordered seafood/scallop linguini. They gave us complimentary appetizers which was very nice, after waiting a reasonable amount of time my meal arrived, it was HUGE. A full lobster, 4 king crab legs, smoked salmon, scallops, 5 jumbo shrimp (I got extra shrimp because I didn't want the crab stuffed mushrooms), rice pilaf and veggies. The meal looked incredible, unfortunately it was very far from incredibly tasting. The lobster tasted like it had a yeast infection, the shrimp was very dry, the salmon was extremely dry, the scallops were just... not right. The crab legs were the most normal tasting item on the plate, but even then the butter dip was also not very good.

The entire plate was way too dry, almost as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for a half an hour. The service was excellent, but I probably won't go back

I was overcome with a feeling of sickness and extreme stomach ache subsequent to eating their food. I have been eating shawarma for decades now. But the food there made me sick for 3 days. At nights I would wake up with unbearable stomach aches, which never ever happened before. Furthermore, the service was extremely rude. Especially, the server got even more disrespectful when I told him that I would pay with my debit. I was shocked.

I went to to the Arrow and Loon a couple of months ago for breakfast and would not go back, if someone paid me. I had heard good things about this place in the past, but that it wasn't as good as it used to be.

Well, if it was ever good it was a while ago. We started off by ordering two coffees - both of the cups were DIRTY, and one had a couple of mystery things floating in it. I asked for a new one and considered leaving, but was convinced by my friend to stay.

We ordered the standard bacon and eggs breafasts, which were cold, and the eggs tasted like they had been reheated a couple of times as they were quite rubbery. The service was slow despite there hardly being anyone in the restaurant, and in general the place was just grimy looking. The Arrow and Loon is now a running joke between my friend and I when we are unable to decide where to eat. It was just terrible and I will never go back.

Immitation Japanese food? I think so. Horrible place. This restaurant should not be operating.
The waitress forgot our order so the food came to us 45 minutes later, cold! Not to mention that it's over-priced.

We ordered softshell crab and the waitress asked "Tonkatsu style or temputer style" WHAT IS THAT? can't they just deep fry it the proper way? It tasted like deep fried ROCKS, none the less.

The only thing that was actually decent were the drinks.

I do not recommend this restaurants for first timers-you will get the wrong impression of Japanese food!

Mexi's at Dow's Lake have only one thing going for them - location. The patio overlooking the lake is a nice place to drink beer. In fact, I'm only giving them points because they've managed to keep their liquor license. Dishes on offer are either a variation on last week's beans smothered in greasy cheese, outrageously overpriced bad nachos, or the smallest helpings of insipid fajitas anywhere. The free salsa and chips presented when (if?) the wait staff arrives are quite rare: you'll be hard pressed to find chips this bad anywhere else on earth. They taste like cardboard chips served with watered down "salsa". You will eat them however, and even ask for more, because it will take forever to see your order. Don't count on getting more. Mexi's at Dow's Lake is cheap that way. You may not have been hungry when you entered, the wait will make you hungry.

I highly recommend Cypress Garden to anyone. I have been a regular for about 5 years, ordering several times a month and never had a bad experience. The food has always arrived quickly and piping hot. The quality is always very good and the delivery people are always clean and courtious.

They take their customer satisfaction very seriously. In the 100+ times I have ordered from them, there has only been one occasion when there was a mistake in the order and an item was missing. They had a very apologetic driver at the door faster than I believed possible with the missing item and a complimentary item to make up for the error. These guys are tops in my book.

I actually sought out a review site on the web to let people know just how bad the food is at this 'restaurant'. This was, hands down, the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten.

The chicken fried rice was burnt and smelled, tasted and had the texture of rice that was several days old and had been sitting in a huge bin, sprinkled with oil, warmed under a heat lamp, and then served in mass quantities. They probably make it on Monday and keep serving it all week long.

The other dishes were simply disgusting. Everything, and I mean everything, was swimming in a tasteless petroleum jelly like substance. I took a bite of an egg roll and at least two teaspoons of warm oil poured out.

The chicken was fatty, rubbery and cut razor thin, and the vegetables had obviously come from a massive freezer they have in the back room. The chicken balls were soaked in old oil and the chicken was dark.

Everything tasted the same: greasy, oily and old.

At first we even gave a chicken ball to our labrador retriever...she wouldn't eat it. We should have followed her example. We bought $64 worth of food, ate about 1/2 a plate each, then threw the rest out. My wife threw up about an hour later.

Totally disgusting.

This is quite possibly the worst chinese food we have ever eaten. Bland and tasteless cheaply prepared food. The chow mein was 90% bean sprouts, the general tsos chicken was mostly fatty greasy breaded chicken and the sauce had no flavour. The garlic beef was mostly broccoli, and again, was bland

Also when ordered I didnt know you get a free chicken fried rice - I ordered pork fried rice but they didn't tell me I was getting the chicken fried rice for free - so I had a ton of rice. It took almost 70 minutes to show up and half of it was ice cold. Also no fortune or almond cookies was in the bag - not a big deal but just shows how pathetic this company was. Not to mention how our stomachs felt after. I have never specifically gone onto a website to say what a bad eating experience I had, until now.

Terrible. Avoid at all costs.

Three of us ordered the Gnocchi which was melt in your mouth superb, the Canoe Plate is truly a work of art. As for our main courses, mouth watering divine!!! Service is exceptional, attentive and informative. When your waiter tells you that the chef suggests meat cooked a certain way, have faith, he's right. Great Wine selection too. This is a hidden (on the 54th floor of a commercial tower) jewel well worth visiting.

I am writing because even after 3 months, I am still outraged about our dining experience.

My wife and I ordered martinis (one gin, one vodka) as before-dinner-drinks. To my surprise, my drink tasted watered down; before I told my wife, she told me hers tasted watered down too! So we flagged the waiter, and he insisted we were wrong, the drinks were fine. In a patronizing tone he explained that "when you make a martini, the ice in the shaker melts a bit". Ah. Hmmm. I have made (and possibly consumed!) thousands of martinis in my lifetime, and I know a watered down drink when I taste it. The waiter made no effort to appease us - we paid the full $9/drink (for 1 oz of standard booze!). Since wifey and I were out to celebrate our anniversary, I did not raise a fuss at the dinner. Howevever, when we returned home that night I tracked down the owner's email address and told him of our experience. He just said "sorry, I hope you come again". Fat chance.

After a bit of thought, it occurred to me - most people at the restaurant were drinking fancy Urban Pear martinis (or similar fruity martinis) - no one was actually drinking straight martinis apart from us. In the bottle, gin and vodka are perfect candidates for watering down as they look like water in the first place. So my bet is someone at the restaurant was sneaking booze and replacing with water. The majority of the patrons wouldn't know because their drinks had other things in them.

So, to recap: Terrible service. Mediocre food. And we were ripped-off! You would be wise to avoid this restaurant.

As soon as you enter the restaurant you feel like the people in there have waited years for you to come, very intrusive. The waiter came to give us the menu and didn't ask for any drinks or even offer water, so we had to ask. We looked at the menu and ordered the food. It was very late, we were not hungry by the time it came. The food had a funny smell like the chicken was very old so I jus ate the sauce and not the chicken. The naan got hard as soon as it hit our plates. We had to call the waiter many times for water because the rice was hard it wasn't soft at all. I would never recommend this place, its very run down and very bad food, frankly a waste of your money!!

This is a typical chain restaurant. The one thing that is never in doubt is the freshness of the seafood. It must be fresh as the turnover is high but, how a seafood restaurant can overcook every dish so badly that it has to be returned is beyond me. Not one dish, but all of them. The service by the teenagers working there is as can be expected by children that do not know the difference between bay scallops and sea scallops. When asked if it is east coast, west coast or farmed salmon the answer was "they have salmon farms sir?".
It is OK if you are a fish and chip kind of person but if it is a taste of good seafood, do not come here.

My friends were also impressed and we've been back at least 3 times! The prices are definitely too high which is the only drawback. I thought they could also use some spicier food . Overall great and best of all I didn't have to clean my own table ( they have this at other vegetarian restaurants and I think thats ridiculous). Love it!

I was born and raised in Italy, so trust me, I know good Italian food very very well: I tried Da Sergio and will not go back.
Food is fine, but not at all great.
Prices are very high, given the quality and portions (both not impressive).
The ambiance is both tacky and depressing: dark basement room with bad-taste decor.
Most of all the place is incredibly pretentious, they clearly think they are much much better than they really are...
This is NOT a family-friendly place. We showed up with our daugther, 18 months: the welcome was less than warm to say the least. No high chair, just a dangerous unstable booster which could not be anchored to the chair (what??); the host/waiter (maybe owner? a very pompous guy, overly-dressy suite, tacky bling, and loads of attitude...) seems annoyed when we ask for a table [in hindsight, we shoudl have left right there and then] then takes an eternity to set it. Towards the end, our daughter was walking around exploring the room (with our close supervision of course): the owner walks in the room, no plates in his hands, has to go around her, so he turns to me and very abruptly says: "she's gonna get hurt. you're gonn have to keep her at the table!"....
If the point was her safety, there are other, more civilized, ways to make it.
Not to mention that we are not talking about a crazy-crowded place with a dozen waiters flying around. And I was right behind her!

Obnoxiously pretentious attitude, depressing tacky environment, and food that is good but not great, and definitely incredibly overpriced.

Not recommended...

Rumor had it this pub had the best fish and chips in Ottawa so two of us checked it out; another co-worker tagged along for lunch. As it turned out our experience left alot to be desired.

First - the service. The lady behind the bar was extremely inattentive and seemed more interested in socializing than doing her job. It took forever to get served for both our food order and drinks - twice we had to leave our tables and order from the bar.

In addition to the lousy service, the food was terrible and it seemed to take forever to get our orders.

Though the fish's batter was crisp on the outside, the interior was mushy and the fish undercooked. Our co worker ordered the nachos, which came burnt, sparsely topped and to be quite frank were rather tasteless. To quote him, it was the worst nachos he's ever had.

We will never return and we intend to advise our friends and coworkers to do the same; from now on we'll stick to other pubs in the area.

When I told the waiter about the mushy noodles, all he said was, "oh sorry". They did not comp the dish. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful. The food was fantastic and you didn't have to wait hours for it like you often do in restaurants.

We asked our waitress if the chef Massimo was in and within 10 minutes even on a busy night, he took the time to come out and meet us and was kind enought to pose for a picture, such a kind gesture and something my son (a big fan of his) will never forget. The deserts were amazing and there were so many cookies on my dish, that I was able to enjoy them the next day. Our waitress and all of the staff were so well versed with the menu items and were able to describe everything on there...very impressive. The restaurant was so clean and the parking right next door, so convenient.....We will go back again, a definite 5 star in my eyes

My buddy Ron had the COLLOSAL Corned Beef sandwich which I must admit is the biggest sandwich in Toronto, weighing in at 1 pound.
We shared the homemade apple pie with french vanila ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.....spectacular. And finally to cap it off we had an espresso each that was excellent.

I would say they have the best food listed on there menu. And if u can't decide on what to eat from looking at the menu which most people have problems doing. They offer helpfull ideas. Monday through sunday they have a speacial board of 4 items that change daily. All 4 items include the soup of the day (homemade), coffee or tea. WOW

I've eaten at other Lapointes locations in the city's west end and have been thoroughly impressed. When I went to the market location I expected the same quality and standard that Lapointe's( particularly the Kanata location provides).
Needless to say we were disappointed with average service , and food. The patio is a nice touch but you are squeezed in.
Overall, I would recommend that you skip the market Lapointe's location and go elsewhere.

Not enough servers on staff for a Saturday night (I counted 2). Fairly good service with short staff. Fried Calamari was excellent, very tender. Oysters tasted fine but for $15 per 1/2 dozen they were pretty hacked up. Someone needs training on shucking. My husband wanted halibut but was not available. Trout was fine however salsa consisted of about 1 tsp of bitter grapefruit. Mussels had very little broth and were overdone. Salad boring. Server brought a salad entree instead of pasta so one at out table didn't recieve their entree until all else were done. Veggies good but mashed potatoes quite dry.
Attention to detail makes all the difference.

such an overrated restaurant
we went there for lunch
the waiting was horrible, 25 minutes just for appetizers
the cooking was horrific (undercooked chicken, undercooked and not fresh octopus )the potatoes greasy and so much salted, the service was slow, rude and they are not listening to the client, we try to talk to the waitress she was avoiding us. a perfect example of an overrated restaurant which rely only on the reputation and does not care about the cooking and the clients. Who gave them a consumer award ? we will never come back

We were a group of 8 employees who went to Christopher's for a "quick" Friday lunch!! Government employees get half an hour for lunch and we were there for over an hour and a half. The food was okay...although the nachos looked flame broiled! But it took an hour for the food to arrive after we placed our orders. One of our party actually went to the bar to pick up the drinks in order to help the waitress, but the service didn't speed up at all.

Very disappointed.

I love indian food, and frequently visit another restaurant, but I decided to give this one a try. I don't normally judge places on one experience, but this one was so poor I am hesitant to go again.

I ordered the Chicken Madras because I had heard good things about it, and I like spicy food. The food came in good time, which I was very impressed with, but I was turned off the minute I tasted it. The meal was VERY oily. The chicken pieces were more fat than actual meat. The food was grainy (which I was not expecting) and was NOT spicy at all. It was very tasteless except for the taste of oil. I could not finish even half the meal because I felt sick. I have eaten at many different indian restaurants, and have never tasted anything like that.

Perhaps I just have high expectations because of the other places I go to which are quite good, but I must admit I was very turned off by the food there. I will not be going back.

Excellent mixes of flavours, reasonable waiting times, great service and a lively atmosphere, along with prices that make a student smile, this restaurant is one of my favourites, not just in Ottawa, but in Ontario. Definitely worth checking out!

I really enjoyed my visit to the Parliament Pub, patio. I was there with my father and uncle on a visit to Ottawa. I was thrilled to be able to sit under a canopy of green, with a clear view of Parliament Hill, the Centennial Flame and of course the world famous Peace Tower!

The service was great, the waiter was quite attentive and even came over a few times to ask us how the food was and did we need anything?

We had bruschetta, which was very nice. Good fresh tomatoes and real cheese! Along with the bruschetta I had some creamy squash soup, it thick and hot, very flavourful! The salad was pretty with a nice vinagrette, the greens were crisp, as they should be!

After lunch we just sat around sipping our coffee and enjoying the magnificent view. Of course we kept an eye out for some of the pols who like to hang around - trying to come with ways of reducing our taxes I am sure! LOL

The coffee was good too, I am fussy about coffee and often don't like the tasteless drek so often served...

After a quick tour inside to look at the political memorabilia and caricatures we left to continue our visit.

I would recommend Parliament Pub to anyone who is visiting Ottawa. The is a good choice of well prepared and presented food for reasonable prices and they get it on to your table in time. Did I mention the view?

This used to be acclaimed as the best Shawarma in the city. However, I respectfully disagree because anyone who claims his Shawarma is the best, has not really tasted a real Shawarma from the Middle East or Turkey.

Let me put it that way, I'd simply not eat Shawarma at this palce. It is acceptable, but not up to my standards.

The amenities and decor is disgusting, dirty tables... definitely not a family place.

Tip: stay away from their Kafta...1) they're not interested in making it and 2) it doesn't taste any good.

the service was horrible, the server took 1/2 an hour to get our drink order, then another 20 minutes to serve it to us and take out food order,
the food showed up pretty fast compared to our drinks , but then the server cleared our water glasses without asking if we wanted any thing more, walked away and we had to wait another 1/2 hour for our bill with dirty plates on our table and no water to drink - I finally had to get a manager to get our bill and let us pay. This service would be undertandable if they were busy

I generally don't eat sandwiches but when the server behind the counter listed them (with ingredients), I couldn't resist.

Creative, nutritious and so tasty. Different breads with a variety of combos and styles. Eat conservatively or go for an ethnic variation. Salads are made from scratch - and you can tell.

Great little sandwich place for under $10, enjoy. Clean, renovated. They have other foods, but haven't tried those yet.

Just wish they offered milk as a beverage option.

Went to Empire Grill with my Girlfriend for our one year anniversary. Our Server was pleasant and very kind. I was amazed at the noise level in this restaurant, it felt as if we were eating dinner with 450 people in a 1000 sq dining room with amplified acoustics. We ordered a Grilled bread app with an assortment of delicious dips (tzatziki, truffle white bean, herbed chevre ,curried lentil, red pepper salsa) which came with hot grilled flatbreads and an assortment of of olives and peppers. This app was delicious! The Crabcake had an off taste, similar to pollock. We both ordered the filet mignon and shared 3-4 sides ( roasted fingerling potatoes , green beans sauteed in sesame oil w/ shaved almonds, creamed spinach, roasted tomatoes w/ aged balsamic). Our steaks arrived cold, i sent mine back seeing as it was "blue" when i had ordered med-rare. our sides were basic cooking school 101. So all in all besides the grillbread app the meal was a letdown. We will not be returning to this restaurant any time soon. Just very disappointing when you pay 175$ without drinks for two, for that ammount I expect near perfection.

love vietnamese. So much so that I seek out the best of the best, and right now, there are two vietnamese restaurants I go to - Cam Kong and Me Xim. Of the two, this is a close second to Cam Kong, but both have excellent spring rolls and rice paper rolls and both are delicious and cheap. Enjoy!

I just love the Southern Cross!! One of my favorite restaurant to go for lunch. The chicken fajitas are very very good. Best in town!! I also tried the quesedillas, very good too. The nachos are just ok, though. The salsa is just to die for!! Me and my boyfriend always order Snake Bites as an appetizer. It's fried chicken bites that are a little bit spicy. Original and so good. And the service is always very attentive. I will always go back to Southern Cross!

The place doesn't have a good facade but that should not dissuade you as the restaurant has awesome food. It is located right next to a bus stop.

I decided to got there on a whim as I was sitting on a bus in front of the restaurant when I decided to go in.

The menu has a mix of authentic Pakistani Muhajir cuisine, Westernized Indian cuisine and authentic North Indian cuisine. The menu includes desserts and drinks. Due to the proprietors being Muslims, the menu does not have any alcoholic beverages.

The Saag Chicken arrived with a salad that seemed like an afterthought. The Saag Chicken was well-spiced and not over-spiced. The Saag Chicken arrived in a metallic bowl that was slightly hard to eat out of, but the waiter was helpful enough to suggest getting me a larger plate (without my asking him to get me one, good service, eh?).

The salad that is included with the dish was lettuce, onion and tomato. The lack of fresh thought in the salad was compensated by the chef by putting too much pepper on it. The only solution was to mix it with the boiled rice and Saag Chicken that is also included with the dish.

The Mango lassi was exactly as mango lassi should be: light, sweet and not too yoghurty-tasting.

The naan was served crispy and quartered. The service was lacking in that the waitstaff was shy and lacking confidence. It wasnt hostile, but it wasnt friendly either, kindof an amicable silence.

The restaurant itself lacks architectural design or even interior design. It is a blank slate. The area leading to the washrooms is cluttered and should be cleaned up, and the washroom is pretty small.

I ordered a new york steak medium rare then got a steak, not new york, but well done. Wife order shrimp risotto and got bland rice with over cooked shrimp. Even the antipasto was a cheap and miserable version of what it should be. This is my second visit in six months apart and its horrible. Even the birthday girl was terribly disapointed.

Absolutely one of the worst meals I have ever had. Venison ordered rare came well done, tough and tasteless. Three small overcooked cold scallops. Beet salad was good but needed a saw or at least a steak knife to cut it.
Wait staff was ok but never bothered to ask how the meal was. Four others at my table ordered the same special and it was equally as bad. Alot of money for a terrible meal.

The refined service is what i would say stands out at Giovanni's on preston st. When we entered we were greeted by the maitre Di and another younger man removed our outside coats. We were seated in very dimly lit dining room. White cloths, real silver, heavy weight dining napkins; certainly efforts were made to give an excellent dinning experience. The Food was good... atleast two of the three things on my plate were. The service was very attentive. If you drop a fork another is brought to you folded in a large napkin, unfolded infront of you and gently placed next to your cutlery . The espresso was hot and had good crema, and had that classic italian (robusto) sharp mouth. At the end my jacket was brought around and was put on by the same person who had taken it off. These sort of things may mean nothing to some diners however these are the types of things that would make the dining experience standout for an annivsary or special evening and warrant the slightly inflated prices for pasta's etc. That being stated, I wouldn't come here with kids or the group of guys. Can you get better Italian food for less? Yes. But there is more to this place then the food.

I am a regular in the Westboro area and love trying these cute little spots for dinner and lunch. I have visited this Village Cafe in the past and finished off our dinner at the tapas-type bar called Trio. Perfect night but cannot remember what we had that night.
I am compelled to write about my first lunch at the Village Cafe while it is still fresh in my head. LIke is said I am now frequent this spot when i can and it has been both quiet at times and crazy busy. I would recommend making reservations just to be safe. This particular afternoon I took a friend for luch at the Cafe and had the best sandwhich of my life. I had the Kobe which looked, at first, so big that I thought I would never finish it but after one bite I was hooked. All the sandwhiches are served on a choice of bread (about 5 different kinds which I was told comes from the Bagel Shop.. keeping local). I had mine on sour dough. The Kobe had perfectly cooked roast beef, with melted cheese, roasted peppers and a wasabi mayo. I may have missed something but it was mouth watering. Sandwhiches are served with a small house salad which was drizzled with just the right amout of balsamic. My friend had the Goat CHeese Salad and said it was equally as mouth watering. The salad was a combonation of greens, cranberries, sauteed mushrooms and goats cheese. After our lunch we were both too full to try one of the great looking deserts The Village Cafe has but, like I said, I now frequent this cute little spot and had tried many different items to never be disapointed. The service is friendly but sometimes we do get overserved.. I notice the servers share tables and it takes a little time to get used to but I like it. It seems to work with the place

Try it.

My wife and I went for our anniversary. I had been for lunch a few times, but it was her first time there.
The atmosphere, music and service were great. A very welcoming place.
The appetizers started off well with a nice mix. Most deep fried but not too greasy.
We each had a different soup and enjoyed the broth, lentils, vegetables.
The highlights were the mains, great rice and excellent naan bread--we both love the naan bread.
I like spicy and my wife doesn't so the server helped us order. The chicken boona was tasty and mild. I had heard about the salmon but they didn't have any so another fish was offered. It was very good, but very spicy... yes, I asked for it. We will definitely return.

I've been to this restaurant several times this past summer because it's close by. My party and I have been dissappointed being offered the same menu over and over again. With every main course comes a "round mash" of vegtables and is quite tastless but easy for the chef to prepare. All of our main dishes have been over cooked. The restaurant is extremely small and the tables are very close to each other and yes you can hear the other party's conversations. They really should consider experamenting with their menu to something more exciting and offer fresh local vegetables.

Moist, tender, chewy. The only dip I'll use is a bit of mayo. Super fresh ingredients, loads of toppings, ridiculous ammounts of cheese (what most places do as double cheese). Order Now! Salads are super fresh too. Oh, and they make their pasta, pizza, and poutine sauces from scratch! So you get the point ... everything here is fantastic.

We had an Marechal Foch 2003 bottle of red wine with the meal and we really liked it, so we asked the waitress (after we finished the bottle and it was taken away) if she remembered the name and she came back with the full info from the label. She was very friendly and helpful.

The fish cake was to die for.

I have been a regular customer here for 2 years. I typically have their breakfast special: $4.75 between certain hours as advertised on the sandwich board out front. After these hours, the price for the breakfast is advertised as $1 more. However...the actual cost is $3.20 more. See for yourself. They advertise 2 different costs for the special: one on the sandwich board and one in the menu. I can't stand people who manipulate to rip people off so I will not be going back.

The food was quick. But the won ton soup container was half full when we received it & there was 2 pieces of wonton & 1 piece of pork. The vegetable stiry- we asked for no celery & told them one of us we're allergic- & they gave us ALOT of celery (That was most of the vegetables) - & I had asked for extra brocoli & they said they would have to charge us for extra brocoli & we said okay- We never got extra brocoli but did get charged for it. They gave us 1 container of plum sauce for 12 egg rolls- which the egg rolls we're stale & over cooked- they tasted like they had been previously cooked, left out & then re-cooked for our order. We didn't receive the free fried rice we were suppose to get. We called to complain that there was hardly any soup & not enough sauce for the egg rolls & that we didn't get our free fried rice- this is before we realized that they put celery in our food. They came back with just broth for our soups, half a container of freid rice & a tiny little container of plum sauce- not even enough for 2 egg rolls. We spent about $40-45. I threw out the vegetable stiry fry & the egg rolls. Complete waiste of money. I called to let them know that we were disatisfied & all they could say was okay okay, thank you bye bye. Never again.

Alfa Diner is the best breakfast/lunch joint in the city. We regularly drive from our home in the east end for the $3.75 breakfast special, which is much better than the chains that charge three times as much. Danny's service is always quick and friendly. Lunch is good too.

I've been going to El Meson about once a year for many years. I am never disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is good and the ambience is acceptable - European in fact - where they don't go for atmospheric gloom as they do in many Canadian restaurants.

I was only able to choose one cuisine from the Restaurantica list but actually this restaurant serves both Spanish and Portuguese dishes.

Definitely recommended.

First of all, HORRIBLE service. The girl that sat us was rude. She sat us a tiny cramped table and when we asked if we could sit somewhere else, she insisted that all the other tables were reserved. She was definitely lying because it was Sunday night and half of the restaurant was empty. And then the waiter screwed up my order and brought me the wrong dish. He was condescending and just as rude as the girl that seated us. My dish finally arrived after 40 minutes and it was absolutely awful. Worst Italian meal I've ever had. Overpriced and disgusting. I don't even remember the name of it now. And then desert took almost as long to arrive--around 30 min for a 1 piece of Tiramisu that we shared. NEVER

We visited the restaurant at around 3pm. The place was dirty and stunk. The server was friendly, but lied to us about the restaurant (like the place has been busy all day long while only two other guests were present, or that the coffee had been strong while it was about one spoon of coffee to a whole pot). The egg rolls were okay, but neither breath-taking nor hot. The server told us that they had 'a real china man' as a cook, which I found very suspicious since they're not only serving Chinese dishes, but also Italian and other random stuff. The dinner plate itself was extremely disappointing. The food was barely warm, the rice squeaky-chewy, and the chicken rice balls and sauce were tasteless and had a stale after taste to them. The diet coke was served in a can with a glass of ice and the server spilt coffee over the small coffee plate. The guests were eyeing my S.O. like we were unwelcome strangers. We did not feel welcome, even though the server tried her best. The meal came down to $34, which is outrageously expensive for such crap. I will definitely not recommend this to anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Great that they could accomodate a party of 10 ( with a reservation made the day before) on a Friday night with no pressure at all to leave quickly( we stayed from 5pm to 9pm). Very interesting decor and ambiance. Food and service were good but a bit expensive and it worries me when I see hamburgers and poutine on the same menu as steak and lobster - however it certainly offers enough choices to please everyone. Underground heated parking at a competitive rate makes for very easy access in the winter. Will be interesting to go back in the summer time on the large terrace. Overall an excellent evening out. Thanks Dave.

Went with a large party. The food took a long time. So much so that one of our party left. The air conditioning was off and it was hot. I felt bad for the waiter since he was definitely trying to stall us while the kitchen tried to keep up. The food finally came and I was the last served. However, I had ordered a 12oz medium-rare steak. The waiter brought out a steak that was 10oz and well-done. I immediately called them on it, but he at first tried to convince me that the steak had shrunk on the grill. He went to check in the kitchen and, sure enough, it was a mistake and a 10oz steak. He didn't offer to take the steak back or bring me a new one, but said something along the lines of, "Don't worry we'll give you free dessert". I opted not to take the dessert since I was convinced they would probably spit in it and take an additional two hours to give it to me. Anyways, on the one hand, I feel for them since they were obviously decompensating with our party. On the other hand, they don't know when to admit they've made a mistake and how to correct it. Try the Empire Grill - it's just down the road.

This place suffers from consistency issues. Have had some of the best pizza and worst pizza at this place. Sometimes the dough is just right, thin crust, nicely cooked. Othertimes the pizza dough comes across like it was frozen and thawed in a microwave, creating what can only be described as cardboard.

It boils down to the fact that this place suffers from a serious lack of attention to detail. Menu items are often missing or altered without notice - e.g. house salad boasts polenta croutons and oven dried tomatoes, some visits you will get no croutons and packaged sundried tomatoes; other times you get the croutons and no tomatoes with way too many rotten leaves. Should not even describe the montrosity that was the ceasar salad last time - brown inedible romaine lettuce slathered in too much of an decent creamy ceasar dressing.

Severs are often earnest, but unprofessional - e.g. lacking knowledge of what is a limited wine or dinner menu, often forgeting drinks or utensils. Service will suffer once the very small restaurant is half full - since they appear to frequently understaff. On several visits there was one person in the back doing the kitchen side and one person in the front. That type of short staffing saves money in the short term, but will affect long term costumer returns since the quality of dining experience suffers badly.

Probably been about a 6 or 7 times and each experience has varied in quality from very good to down right awful. Unsure when I will return to a place that showed potential, but frustrates more othen than pleases.

Our family, including 3 young children, enjoyed dinner there last night. There wasn't much choice. Only the buffet or you could order pizza off the menu - no appetizers, no salads, no soup, and the desserts were limited to the cake on the buffet or tartufo.

The pizza was fantastic - perfect crust, and delicious, fresh toppings. The pasta that you could order if you got the buffet was perfectly cooked with a delcious fresh tomatoe sauce - but the kids wanted spaghetti and there wasn't any. The linguini that was substitued was good. The items on the rather small buffet included chicken, potato wedges, meatballs, roast beef, one type of pizza, a couple of creamy salads and some antipasto. None of the delicious veal or fresh romaine a prevous review suggested. Some buffet items were not so good(over done roast beef slices sitting in some kind of liquid) to excellent (big, meaty, delicious meatballs). The cake that came with the buffet was alright, but the tartufo was fantastic - creamy, chocolately, rich, absolutely delectable.

The server was very efficient and nice and things came quickly from the kitchen(important when dining with young children!) but I can't overlook an error in the pizza order. The server brought us out a free order of garlic toast (maybe she realized there had been a mix up in our pizza order we hadn't complained about?).

So if you go expect a limited selection, with some really good food, and some not so great. Not sure if the buffet was worth it just for the really good pasta and meatballs. I'd go again for the pizza and tartufo, but not if I was expecting a full 3 or 4 course Italian

My favorite lebanese salad is Fattouch and I've tried it at many lebanese restaurants. However, those do not even compare to the one at Al Pacino. The lady owner takes pride in this salad and will tell you the ingredients without hesitation; 12 different vegetables, lemon, oil, sumac but the best ingredient...it is mixed from the heart. She is absolutely right. The service is friendly and is most of the time given by the father, the wife and their two daughters. A family owned business without a doubt. This place is a must try.

Probably the worst meal I have every had in an restaurant. My linguini with veal meat balls was very tasteless and cold. It was suppose to be a marinara sauce on the pasta but the whole thing tasted like can pasta. The veal balls were adequate.

Two of my friends had the spinach lasagna with roasted vegetable and ricotta cheese. Not only did it not look appetizing but it had no taste at all. You could't find the roasted vegetables or the ricotta cheese. We complained to the server but she really didn't say much.

The coffee was cold but the tea was hot.

Dessert was adequate -- not worth the money.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I frequent Ottawa for business and once I found Memories I just can't stop returning for these two dishes. The granny smith apple salad has the most wonderful flavor - it's the spiced pecans, the cheese, the crisp apples, the tasty dressing and the always fresh romaine lettuce. These ingredients are marvelous together and I have not once been dissapointed (I've ordered this dish probably over a dozen times).

The same goes for the Morrocan chickpea plate. The vegetable stew complements the chickpeas and basmatti rice to a "t". Although, the best part is the mango chutney that adds something special with each bite. Ensure that the staff don't miss this part of the dish (it's happened once or twice before).

You won't be sorry!

As for the service, yes, it can be laid back, but it comes with the atmosphere. If I don't have the extra time or patience, I've ended up doing take out...the food is worth it!

We were recommendedthis restaurant by a friend and went for a celebration.We were quite disappointed.After a long wait for the server to take our order we were told there were no chips for the fish and chip selection.Undercooked vegetables were substituted.(broccoli could not be cut with knife)I like crisp vegetables!One of the party chose the salmon with maple glaze.Halfway through the salmon it was also uncooked and the server said she would fix it.The battered fish was greasy when cut.The thai shrimp was tasty but served with 2-3 tbsp of rice and the underdone vegetables.The coup de gras was a large fly in our European guest's wine - this was replaced however the adjustment for the salmon didn't appear on the bill.

Stopped in for dinner..excellent service but food was extremely bland. Ingredients seemed very fresh but the meals themselves lacked any real flavour. I was also suprisesd to see so many diners order fish and chips when Joeys is just down the road. At over $100 for two adults and a child we did not feel that we got value for money. We will probably not go back.

Foundation seems to be on a downward slide... the food was cold, tasteless... service was inattentive. Rushed feeling as they were turning into the nightclub part of the night... pushy staff running around with clipboards...

I started coming here when they first opened but the last three experiences this past Spring mean I won't be hitting them again.

During the nightclub part of the evening bartenders served their friends, no matter how long others waited, or how "overserved" the friends seemed to be. I spoke with a manager on the way out but they didn't seem interested.

Lots of other places in Ottawa to spend my money.

The food was great! Location was nice as well - beautiful view of Dow's Lake.

Service was pretty mediocre, I wasn't necessarily impressed. It was a hot day, we were on the patio and the server wasn't very attentive with drinks. I had to go inside twice to ask for another drink. As a server, I know the importance of checking up on customers, which she didn't do once.

A thoroughly disappointing experience for a reputably successful chain of restaurants. My past two visits to any ESMs have been at the St. Laurent location and both were mediocre at best. Our dishes were both bland and cold and rather pricey. Our server though was apologetic, polite and knew the menu well. It is a shame that the food was so bad. I wouldn't return if the meal was free.

While prices have gone up in general in Chinatown, it seemed a tad odd to be spending $14 or whatever it was on an oil drenched noodle dish that I could've made myself in half the time. In addition, how can any restaurant screw up a rice dish?! Ours was half cooked and the water balance must have been severely compromised; the whole thing was stuck into a giant slab of starch.
It was nice for the platters to have been as big as they were - that is, assuming it were any good - but we ended up tossing it a couple of blocks away.
The waitresses were very polite, making up a slight for the food that had my stomach churning for several hours afterwards.
Rest assured, there are dozens of other restaurants within eye-sight.

Don't get discouraged by the area: HIno's is located in a less than interesting neighbourhood but I can assure you that you won't be disapointed by the food.

Awesome! The food was awesome! Burger was stuffed with onions (homemade) juicy and cooked to perfection, The peppercorn sauce was the best I ever had. very tasty. The house (salad) dressing was the best house dressing i ever had. Fries look like they are homemade. My overall rating on this "menu" item was a 10! the best and most tasty open faced burger i ever had. The Japanese chef at this restaurant is great! However this restaurant should consider some renovations to meet the standards of it's great food. tables and chairs need to go. (old pub style) add some white table clothes. presto a perfect japanese restaurant! The menu has only a few items to offer, not much choice, However this only means that the limited food will be fresh. Enjoyed my lunch there today and won't be my last!

I have been to this particular Lone Star probably about 30 times before, so I have a lot of experience with the food. I have found that the food veries a lot from one visit to the next. One visit the ribs will be excellent and the next time they are inedible. Sometimes the service is very good, other times it is lousy. This time it was my sister's birthday party. The food was extremely slow to be served, and, since our waiter never checked on us, we ended up having to track him down through other waiters. Once we got the food several items were missing or incorrect. This time the food was quite good, especially the ribs. One thing that is annoying is the singing of happy birthday - really, really loud and every second table got the song. YIkes. One thing I like about this place is that there is always enough fajita fixings for a few meals if you get a doggie bag. The homemade tortillas are excellent!

A low lit typical neighbourhood pub with an English style ambiance and interesting menu and a bunch of their own beers. Other offerings were Ontario Micros, with a few BMCs. I had all of their beers that were available, which ranged from fairly average, to pretty good. Food was quick to arrive, tasty, and well put together. Service was tatoo girl, but friendly and attentive.
I got there around 5 pm, and it wasn�t that busy at all, but by the time I left, the place was packed and there were only 2 servers. I guess I got there at a good time, cause I suspect that service was basically at a standstill by that time.

Absolutely rotten food, tiny portions, especially given the photos, not that they're ever too reliable in any restaurant. Overly-greasy yet still flavourless, I could feel my arteries clogging as I took a bite, but by the end, I was still starved.

To top off the bad food, the service was extremely slow and the servers very dim, and the price was outrageous.

I and my company had a pizza and an order of muscles. Pizza, for $14.50 was abnormally small and overdone. Also the waitress informed us that they were running out of muscles, and that because of that the portion has to be smaller than normal.
While we're speaking about the waitress, she was very slow with the service and it took her forever to check up on us.

Of the korean places I've tried in Ottawa (only 1 other as there are very few) this one is probably the best one. They bring a whole lot of 'stuff' when you order a meal. Most of it I'm not really sure what it is but it comes free with the meal so no complaints. The kimchi here is ok I've had better but the kimchi soup is very tasty and spicy. The table cooking is a bit more pricey but I thought it was fun especially when on a date with my gf. Korean food is not too popular in ottawa but for a nice experience I'd give this place a try.

Decent diner. I've always had above average food there in a dozen or so visits. This time the homefries could have been a little more cooked and the coffee tasted a little burned (until they refilled it). But the western sandwitch was mighty tasty.
Service was great with countless free refills on coffee. This is easily the BEST diner in Ottawa. I know you're thinking your own favorite place is the best, but this diner beats them all in prices, and matches any place in food and service.

We recently moved into the neighbourhood and have gone to Bramasole a few times. Each time I say that I will never go back but my husband enjoys the homefries. This time we have decided it was our last. Do not go to this restaurant if you have other stuff to do in your day (extremely slow service) or are hungry (poor amount of food). We waited one hour to be served and the food was cold and did not fill our bellies. By the time we left it was lunch time and I went home and made more food because we were still hungry. This is awful ... and the place is super noisy, dirty and you have to keep asking for a coffee refill! I don't know how they stay in business.

The Indian Express is excellent. I have seen some less than glowing reviews but I am so glad I tried this restaurant. It is a take-out Indian food restaurant and the butter chicken is excellent. It is small run by owners that have a range of excellent food and traditional deserts that look fantastic.

I have tried several dishes and I go back and always try one side dish different each time.

If you are an Anthony Bourdain type you are not going to find animal intestines or other parts. What you will find is a value restaurant with excellent, tasty food that will keep you going back.

The proprietors are very friendly and work very hard to provide value, with high quality.
They are proud of their restaurant and should be.

Yes.. I have seen a few bad reviews of this restaurant. That it may not be the cleanest... yes.. the floor may be a little dirty... but ask yourself why? Could it be that they have a lot of traffic in and out of this store.. people standing around waiting. Is the food clean... OF COURSE.. And it is great quality. One of the proprietors took me into his kitchen.... it is small and they make the most of their space... he started today at 4:30 am in order to make several dishes fresh. Who does that any more? They do! The quality of the chicken.. Chicken breast.. None the less was excellent..

Take it from a Bourdain enthusiast... give this place a try... have an open mind.. Try a few things.. You will not be disappointed.

There was more toppings than nacho chips, which leaves you finishing your plate with a fork and thats the way it should be.

This is probably the most dis-organized restaurant I've been to. We were served by 3 different waitresses and it took about an hour to get our food in a restaurant that was only half full. The portions were tiny, the serving of rice tiny, some of the salmon sushi was so cold I thought it just came out of a freezer. The portion of Filet Mignon, though tasty and soft, was so small that I was still pretty hungry afterwards. I'm in no way a big eater but for $26 I had better be full. The Teppanyaki show was just that, a show. Too much flame and not enough cooking. I'm never going back to that restaurant again and I'd recommend against anyone else visiting it unless you "really" want to see the show.

A friend and I, devotees of Thai food, lunched at Hot Peppers. On the plus side: the servers were friendly and accommodating: we ordered an appetizer, crab cakes, and seafood in red curry sauce (#35) from the dinner menu, and a main dish form the lunch menu, stir-fry chicken with cashew nuts. The presentation was lovely, the food utterly delicious and the level of spiciness just right. On the minus side: the heavy dinner plates were cold and the food was barely lukewarm, spiciness notwithstanding. After staying on the table uncovered, the food was cold, and since we lingered, we did not finish the lovely morsels. We ordered lemongrass tea: it did not come in a teapot as it does elsewhere. Two cold mugs were placed in front of us with warm, not hot, tea with a nice flavour.

My girlfriend and I are frequent visitors to Pancho Villa. We usually order the same meals every time (why mess with success!?). First they bring you a small order of complimentary chips and salsa. We then order an entree of guacamole and a dish of nachos. I get chicken fajitas and she will get a vegetarian platter and it is under 45$ including tip. I have never had such great tasting fajitas! They come out sizzling on a skillet! The salsa and guacamole are made with fresh ingredients. I have been to mexi-cali rosas and it doesnt even compare, and pancho is less expensive. I wish they would open up more of these restaurants around here! I plan on going back many times and enjoying lots of great food!

The food at Pancho Villa is pretty decent and the price is definitely right, however, this is the most abysmal service I've ever had. Our waiter barked orders at the bus boy (the bus boy was working his butt off, by the way) in a completely condescending manner, and all but completely ignored us for the first twenty minutes we were seated at our table.

We waited almost an HOUR for our appetizers to be served, and then another half hour for our entrees. The entire time the waiter was completely rude - we had to flag him down if we wanted anything at all, and he treated us with contempt, as though we were interrupting him by asking him for another drink. The only time our server was nice? When he brought the bills.

Needless to say we won't be eating here again.

Went for dinner before walking over to the NAC. Server was very friendly and helpful in describing the meals, which were new and different to us. It took almost an hour for her to take our order and bring drinks, but once we started, service was fine. The lamb and the turkey dishes were excellent, the meat slow cooked and tender, the sauces excitingly different than what we have had before in middle eastern restaurants. The portions were very large; the half rice and half salad turned out to be a full salada and lots of rice. I found the rice to be dry and didn't enjoy the additions to it, but the others loved it, so I would say that everything was great. Excellent value for the quality and quantity; i would recommend it as a great place to it if you aren't looking for atmosphere in your dining experience. They aren't licensed, but that wasn't an issue for us.

I guess the express part of the name comes from the lunch buffet that they serve. The room was large and non discript; and lacked anything more than a plain jane atmosphere. Perhaps that's part of how they keep the restaurant prices so reaonsonable.

Wow! I've been in Ottawa for a few years now and what a discovery. We decided to go into this restaurant after years of walking past it. I'm very glad that we finally stopped in. The food was excellent (I suggest the chicken balsamic and carbonara) and service was pretty good too.

I love the food at this place! They have the most amazing tortellini (recommend the alfredo sauce over the red sauce) with sweet sundried tomatos. They also serve large portions, and is a classy and quiet/cozy atmosphere. The staff are very attentive, but sometimes it takes them a while to serve, even when the restaurant is slow.
They have delicious bread served with the meals, and the calamari is amazing (I highly recommend the cream sauce served with the calamari).
This is my favorite restaurant in all of Ottawa.

I have never had such a good food before.
Also it was good exprience to taste combination of Japanese and Korean foods at the same time.

Atmosphere was OK. The building is little old but did not bother me that much.

Staffs were very nice and kind. Especially owner was so good. He was enjoying serving people.

For sure, Joy will be my joyful favorite restaurant.

Very nice Korean restaurant, though I wouldn't say the best one. I would expect their prices to be a bit lower but that wasn't the case.

The traditional Korean food was very tasty but I do not recommend their Japanese fusion meals, such as the sushi and sashimi since it is over priced compared to other Japanese restaurants.

The service was quick and the waitresses/waitors are friendly.

too expensive compared to the taste and portion. the owner was so canny with money. and taste is the worst in ottawa. WASABI located downtown was much better. I heard many harsh stories that make me feel like not going there anymore from a person who used to work there. and also I heard most of people working there actually don't wanna work there but for most of Japanese living in ottawa, it is difficult to find a job there. so they gotta work there reluctantly.

We were there just tonight for dinner, holiday Monday, August 4th. We were very disappointed, the Steak over cooked, no flavor, the veggies, way over cooked, and the Milagro Special which was Enchilados, filled wtih chicken and beef, no taste, everything was blane. The only thing which was o.,k, was the salad.
The server seemed pleasant at first, but even with the place empty we had no service. Bill was served in a wet plastic sleeve, moments before the plates were even removed...
If your looking for this kind of food,but with much better service and awesome food head down the street(further east to Agave Grill.

This hidden gem offers an original menu with lots of "cooked" sushi. I started with a seaweed salad which was very fresh and flavourful. I was told one of their most popular rolls is the Dynamite roll which I can understand after giving it a try. The chef also suggested a shrimp sring maki which was served with an wonderful dipping sauce. Their prices are very competitive and staff are very pleasant. They also do sushi to go and recommend that you call about 30 minutes before pick up.

My experience was very average at best. The meat was uninspiring, the garlic bread consisted of two generous pieces however it wasn't good bread and I'm not sure what kind of commercial garlic spread (sprinkles?) were used. I liked the salad and the blue cheese house dressing. I tried a taste of the dessert and I'm glad I didn't order any - it had a very processed taste. We had two bottles of wine - which were reasonably prices as far as restaurants go ($38 each or so). The service was there but it didn't sparkle. The decor is clean and bright but pretty pass?.

The restaurant was quite full so this isn't to say Al doesn't have a following - but I would expect better for the $460 I spent.

To give this restaurant an adequate rating is being generous. A sharing plate of hors d'oeuvres that wasn't fit for pub fare. Ribs hidden under sauce. Underdone fatty grisly steak (asked for med-rare got rare) terrible vegetables and a beer with a date code on the bottle that showed it was 7 months old (wine improves with age - not beer. Where were they hiding that one?). Dill pickles are a nice garnish for a smoked meat sandwich - not a $27.00 steak (although it was probably the best tasting thing on the plate). Either something drastically changed since the previous reviews or this place merely rides on an outdated reputation. Did I complain? No because it was a special occasion and I wasn't up to the fight and spoil a previously good day. Would I go back? Not on your life. Very pedestrian setting with gourmet pricing. Highly over-rated.

DON'T EAT THERE!!! Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
Here is the real truth about Greek on Wheels.
The dressing isn't even home made! Its just Italian dressing from Cosco!!! What a rip off!!!
The kitchen probably hasn't been cleaned ever!
A few friends and I order pretty much all the same meals one night. Well we all had ordered meals with chicken... We all went to bed that night feeling fine.
The next day! One of my friend and I didn't feel so well.
Both of use where vomiting, felt really nauseated and had really bad diarrhea! Its felt like the worse flue I ever had!
Are other friends felt fine! Until the 2nd day!
They also had the same symptoms. So we all decided to go to the hospital to see if we had the flue.
Instead we all got (salmonella poisoning)!!!
The doctor told use it takes a day or two to start feeling the poison.
And the only thing we all had a couple days ago, was GREEK ON WHEELS in Orleans!!!!
Raw chicken contamination EVERYWHERE!!!
They don't care about the food!!! THEY JUST WANT YOUR $$$$$$$

I've eaten at Sonny's before and never really had any major problems. My boyfriend stopped there on the way home from work on Monday night to get something for supper and I must say, it was the WORST food I've ever had!!! I had a Steak Fajita Wrap with Fries-fries tasted like they had been there ALL DAY and the wrap was edible but that was about it. My boyfriend had a Steak with Fries-same thing with the fries and the steak wasn't exactly the greatest either. My son had Fish and Chips-the bottom of the fish was BURNT and some of it was scraped off and of course, the same thing with his fries. The wait time for all this was minimum 45 minutes and he was the only customer in the place!!! I highly do not recommend this restaurant to anyone at all!!

Ironically, this is Ottawa's best sushi restaurant even though it doesn't even rate against restaurants from some other major cities. The fish is the best of what's available in town (pretty terrible). Presentation is always good as is the ambiance and service. However, as is the curse with all sushi restaurants in Ottawa, the quality is variable. Some nights you will get truly good fish, others, truly terrible. I have a hard time going anymore for this reason. It's too heartbreaking paying $40+ for a bad meal. One thing you must try is the ginger dressing on the seaweed salad.

This place makes the best food ever! The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The owner/cook is a wonderful host and a killer cook. The chef's potatoes are out of this world and I loved the steak on the stone that you grill to your perfection yourself (as it is served on a red hot stone). I love the house wine (red) and I visit this restaurant once a month. I would go more if I could afford it on my budget. This place is a gem in downtown Ottawa! In regards to a previous review a lady wrote about cod fish....it's not garlic butter...it's olive oil and that is what salted cod tastes like. Authentically Portuguese, you may want to stick at home with captain highliner fish sticks instead.

This time was much better. Food is excellent. Service is good but difficult to comunicate with server. Use the numbers on the menu to order.

The restaurant is pretty small but usually has a few open spaces.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes to try new food styles.

Me and my girlfriend went for lunch during the tulip festival weekend. First thing that took me off guard was that the restaurant was mostly empty even though thousands of people were walking around the Parliament area.
The restaurant has a very nice and elegant feel for it. The bathrooms were also nice and clean. However the service was absolutely horrible. Long story short - our waitor didn't take our order , we had to flag a different waitress down to help us out which she brought us drinks thankfully. Our waitor eventually makes his way to our table after 20 minutes of being there and takes our order... we wait another 20 minutes and the previous waitress that we flagged down brings out our food and refills. Our waitor stops by only to drop off our bill and didn't even ask how it was. The service here was horrible, the place was dead and I saw alot of staff walking around but nobody doing anything. My sandwich & fries were very bland and very cold and as a previous poster mentioned everything tasted very pre packaged. I recommend to people to avoid this restaurant as the service , food quality and the menu is very very limited.

The service is the absolute best! Georgie and his crew are so friendly and helpful! They are fantastic.
The food is amazing. The pizza is delicious, medium to thick crust, lots of cheese, and wonderful pizza sauce.
Their gravy is the best in Ontario, and is the best I've ever tasted. Recommend gravy on the pizza too - an incredible taste sensation. Me and my friends frequent Georgies very often, for take out and delivery. Delivery is lightening fast too. Will continue to go again and again. Will not eat anywhere else!

The lamb is to die for. I believe it was the special that day, the rice was perfect (basmati I'm sure), and the salad (garden) was absolutely fresh. The line up for ordering attracted me, although about 15 people long I was sitting down with my meal in about 6 minutes. A must visit for lunch!

This is one of the few original diners left in Ottawa.
I've been going there for years but had to stop when my office relocated further into the CORE.

Now we've relocated to an area that is closer, I've started going back there every second Tues.

The eggs and cheese are done to a turn. I mean scrambled eggs. This is fantastic. Why is it that any of the trendy restaurants or the chains cannot get the idea that a scrambled egg is nice and fuffy not chopped omelet. The sausages are tasty and the rye toast is delicious. There's no hurry and as past of her excellent personal service Barb will keep you filled with lots of tasty coffee. You sort of hate to go to work after that but....!

I was kind of surprised that this restaurant got some lower reviews on another review site. But I live in the area, and I love Indian, so my wife and I decided to try it anyways. Were we ever glad we did!

My wife is vegetarian, so she was very excited to see they had a long list of veg choices. She ended up getting the butter-tofu, which is like butter chicken, but meatless. She absolutely loved it! I got the buffet cuz I can eat :). I was not disappointed. There were a number of tasty dishes, but most notable was the butter chicken and tandoori chicken - both were made from probably the most tender, fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-yer-mouth chicken I have ever had! The icing on the cake was our server. My wife ordered a side of naan to go with her tofu, but the server said that since I was getting the buffet (which comes with bottomless naan), he would just throw some extra on for her. And the naan - usually Indian people can judge a restaurant solely by its naan, and I have a feeling this one would get a passing grade. It was jst the right consistency, with just enough butter to make it tasty but not greasy.

Overall we were very happy with our dining experience here, and we will go back!

An excellent place for a taste of Iberia in a city where there are too few Spanish and Portuguese restaurants! Throwing caution to the wind we ordered Sangria as a substitution for a more traditional aperitif. It was a serious Sangria that was not overburdened with too much fruit. We later switched to a delightful Rioja from El Meson�s extensive list of Spanish and Portuguese wines.

I had a soup called �Sopa de Ajo Castelana� that was very thick and satisfying and redolent with the scent of garlic. I followed that with the Casserole Alentejana, which is a sort of stew of pork loin in proven�al sauce with clams. While pork and clams together may sound odd to the uninitiated, it is actually a traditional Portuguese dish and I can attest to it being very tasty.

Alas, we were too full for dessert.

I must say that this restaurant got us hooked from the very first time. The decor is simple, and is good that way. You almost feel like you've set foot in the Caribbean.

Before eating, I ordered a ginger beer, brewed on-site by the owner. My wife ordered a sorel, a very refreshing beverage with a strong clove taste, also brewed on-site. The ginger beer was remarquably good. I even ordered somme to take out. I strongly recommend it!

The food was very tasty and well cooked. The shrimp creole my wife had were delicious, still tender. My lamb was extremely hot, since I ordered it that way. On the side of my plate, I had a spoonful of homemade mango chutney, which was also very good.

I told the owner his ginger beer was really good. He chatted with us for some time. He is very kind and caters to your food desires.

If you like Caribbean-style food, you will enjoy Caribbean Flavours for sure!

I was extremely disappointed with our experience. The restaurant was recommended to us, but I found everything to be below my expectations. The food was nothing special...yes presentation was nice, but what about the taste? The service was awkward. The bread was never served at the right time, yes it was tasty, probably the best thing about the meal, but never when we needed it. The wine was not presented well -it was done by the server, not the sommelier. I like to hear about the wine, why it was selected to accompany the particular dish, etc. But again I was disappointed. As far as the atmosphere, I don't know who chose the colour theme, but it's UGLY! Not appetizing at all. I will never return, and will never recommend to anyone.

I went with a group and, although some in my group were unhappy with their meals, I was extremely happy with mine. The service was a little slow but polite and friendly. You will most likely have to pay for parking, as there is not parking on this street. Be sure to make reservations as it can be full, especially at peak times. I would recommend this as a good place to eat and I will be back!

For a restaurant who is supposed to be among the best in Ottawa, it definitely needs improvement. The decor, cleanliness and service are very good. However, the food leaves a lot to be desired.

There were eight of us and no one was pleased with our dish. One had ravioli that was absolutely disgusting (looked like Chef Boyardee); another had Fettucini Alfredo; another lemon chicken and I had that chicken/ham dish. All these dishes were lukewarm and completely tasteless.

I ordered Bruschetta and for $6.00 i got 2 pieces of thick bread with tomatoes and basil and the other two pieces were covered with mushrooms and onions (not a very attractive dish).

That is twice in 10 days I was served food I would rather give to someone I don't like. I don't know what happened because I used to go to La Roma quite often and everything was always perfect.

I ordered fettuccine with mushroom Alfredo sauce, a small cake for dessert, and a glass of wine.
The serving was tiny, especially by Italian pasta standards, and the sauce was flavoured with
instant dried mushroom, not the real thing. The atmosphere is open, bright and moderately loud,
definitely not the place for a quiet conversation. Service was average, no better. Cost, over $40,
far too high for a week night. And to rub it in, a neighbouring shopkeeper kept barging in
demanding to know if the owner of a car parked in front of his shop was in the restaurant! (It's a
strip mall, no reserved parking.) Never again.

Still good, but not as great as it used to be.

I've been coming to the GSK at Prince of Wales/Heron for a decade now, and it always served large portions of tasty food at very reasonable prices with efficient and friendly service. These things remain mostly true, but the experience has slipped from being a hands down great dining experience to just decent.

In the last 2 years, the pricing on their menu items and daily specials has risen up to 40%, they've started charging extra for things that were included (like the little glob of tzatziki sauce), and since July 2009, it seems that both the specials menu and the seasoning of the souvlaki has changed. The food is still good, but the souvlaki isn't quite as tangy and unique as it used to be - all 4 of us noticed this in the last month. The galaktebureko and baklava are good, but seemed smaller and more expensive too. The fries and potatoes still rock though. The waiters - even the veterans - are no longer as friendly, and the vibe of the place is not as welcoming as it used to be. Its still a decent place, but its not quite as unique nor memorable as before.

I realize costs go up and things change, but its still a bit disappointing only because it used to be alot better. If you are going to increase the price, don't scrimp on the servings. Instead of going there every few weeks, we are down to every few months now.

That said, if you've never been and enjoy generous portions (or great leftovers) then its definitely worth a visit, but its too expensive to make a regular hang out. Its a pleasant 20-min walk from Carleton U campus if you take the canal and up the stairs to the Heron overpass to PofWales Dr.

Great vegetarian restaurant. The selection is incredible and the food is very good. I recommend the spanakopita and the salads. It is priced by weight. Depending on what you choose, the price can be high or low. I have never spent more than $12 for dinner and dessert. The vegan chocolate cake is a must-try.

Very plain and uninspired interior. Food was completely sub-par. Tacos were cold soft shells with a few strips of chicken and some slices of heated onion - nothing else. served with bland rice and beans. Overall restaurant, washrooms, etc. did not look clean.

We just came back tonight from having an awful dinner at Agave Grill (May 2008). We used to love this place for it's fresh menu and great service. There has obviously been some changes, and when we asked if the menu had changed, the server said "there have been a lot of changes" and walked away. The restaurant is noisy, we could not hear each other at all. The bathrooms are dingy and smelly, and the overall appearance of the restaurant seems to radiate uncleanliness and lack of pride in service. Now the food, the Mexican Flag - I probably could have made better at home using an Old El Paso Taco kit. Tequila Chicken was in a gluey sauce and luke warm. The plates did not look appetizing at all.

I didn't finish my meal, and the server did not seem concerned.

Not surprisingly, we will not be returning to this place we once felt was a gem in the west wellington village area.

I love this place. I have been at least 5 times with my boyfriend and mother and have always been impressed. The atmosphere is very intimate, not what you would expect given the location. Feels a lot like some of my favourite places on Preston. I've lived not far for years and not known about this place until recently. Always great food. Mushrooms caps, salmon, pastas, the tortellini is mine and my boyfriends favourite. Great job!

I visited Don Alfonso for a friend's birthday party. We were a table of approximately 15 people. We were seated in the back and it was not a busy night so we had the back to ourselves.

The night started off with almost everyone at the table ordering a glass, if not a bottle of wine. When we were seated at the table, a basket with 2 semi-warm buns was brought over.

We had to ask for more bread as appetizers started to arrive. They brought one more basket, again with 2 semi-warm buns in it. We could not understand why servers were walking in with only one bread basket at a time...which only served 2 people per basket. Once the entire table started asking for bread, it began to be delivered in greater amounts,
but that after a good half hour or so. That was ridiculous.

Those who sat next to me ordered a few different appetizers. The mussels were good, the chorizo was great!

We ordered our main course at the same time that we ordered our appetizers.

To describe the demeanor of the main server (all the others who casually popped in to pour water, clear tables or deliver bread were quite friendly), I will tell you that when he delivered a friend's plate and she said, "thank you" he replied with a grunt. Seriously!

As the appetizers started to arrive, we came to the conclusion that a few of us (at least 5) had ordered the same plate - the seafood paella.

As the other people were served their main courses, we waited on ours to arrive. The server finally walked in with a large wrought iron serving
plate of paella, showed it to us and subsequently left the room.

Our plain, white plates were then brought to us with paella that was sloppily thrown on the plate. The serving sizes were completely different as my friend next to me had approximately 1/3 more on her
plate than I did, with another friend having more than double the amount that I did.

I was not impressed by this - as I was looking forward to my own serving dish (as another friend ordered a different type of paella and was
served her own plate). When I brought this to the server's attention, he became argumentative over the serving sizes.

I simply explained to him that I was unaware that I would be served from a communal dish (and one that I would not be able to serve myself from)
and that I was unimpressed with my serving size in comparison to my friends' plates. He told me that there was no difference, it was simply
the 'mussel shells' that made it appear like she had a larger serving.

He then informed me that they did not have enough individual serving plates for paella and that they have been doing it this way for the last 30 years. I find it hard to believe that in 30 years of business, they haven't been able to accumulate enough dishes to serve people their own
serving of paella??!!

I have never been spoken to by a server in the way I was spoken to that night. I work in the customer service industry and I would never speak
to someone that way, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.

I will NEVER go back...and my big mouth will tell everyone I know about the lousy experience that I had at this restaurant.

To add insult to injury, the paella was bland and the fish was horrible. The mussels and shrimp that were in the dish were OK at best. Certainly
NOT worth the $28/plate that they charge for this dish!!

My husband and I ordered in a large veggie pizza on the basis of reviews here. We are sauce and crust lovers, so we were anticipating a really great meal. The pizza itself was somewhat soggy, the sauce not overly flavourful, and there was so much cheese that had cooled that it kind of caked over the rest of the ingredients.

Maybe something is lost in the delivery translation? We will try it on site in the hope of having the dining experience that others have had.

We went to Le Panache in May for our anniversary and have returned twice since, always exceptionally content with our experience.

The restaurant is a warm and welcoming family-run restaurant with the husband cooking the limited but amazing menu and his wife serving with real European discretion and charm.

The table d'hote is exceptionally good value running from about $25 to $36 but including everything, from an amazing ham and mushrrom filled crepe or other appetizer to soup to the main course to a fantastic dessert and coffee. Even a better value if you have the Entertainment Book card which gives you 25% off. Considering that going our for a club snadwich or designaer hamburger in Ottawa now dings you for $15, the value is amazing.

The main courses are fantastic. As other people have mentioned the rack of lamb is out of this world - the best I have had including Gibby's in Montreal. Traditionally presented glazed in mint. We have also tried the duck, tenderloin and fillet steak, all have been exceptional although lamb is our favourite.

The dessert are out of this world. Whenit is just made, the chocolate mousse is the best I have tasted, although my wife goes ga-ga for the creme brule.

Service is excellent and discrete. You bever feel rushed and if you want to take 10 minutes to digest your meal before dessert, no problem at all.

The house wine is reasonable and the glasses generous.

The restaurant is perfect for conversations (not noisy) and intimate evenings where you soend a couple of hours over a meal.

There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant so no problems trying to find a spot on Somerset.

It;s become our favourite restaurant particualrly for intimate veneings out, anniversaries and entertaining out of town guests.

We are talking about the New Fratelli Restaurant off Beechwood. We went with great expectations, our friends did the Interior Design of the Restaurant and that we would rate as a 10!!! Kudos Creative Friction.

The owners need to work on the food.
Firstly the recommended wine selection on the menu was unavailable, they were already out of it, also noted by fellow dinners, friends who dropped by to chat.

The salad was doused in dressing, almost uneatable but we didn't want to complain....
Our alternate choice of wine the Barolo 2003 Fontenafredda was thin and never did open a disappointment at $60.00/bttle... we didn't complain....
But, my Veal marsala was like shoe leather and tasteless, only the pasta which I think was homemade was good. Goodness knows what the sauce was on the Veal.
My husband's Chicken gorganzola was tough and also not very good either.....
I did mention the Veal to the waitress who was very, very good and she immediately offered to substitute it with something else which at that point I didn't bother to do. The bill was adjusted accordingly.
Service and Decor are terrific.... go for a drink and look see but until they get their food act together this will not become our neighbourhood restaurant. We are hoping things will change in the future.....

Standard selection of Mexican beers as well as cocktails.

Well, me and my collegues go to Red lobster one a week during our lunch break. The food is amazing!!!! The service is awesome too, we always get our drinks and salads 5 min after we ordered it, and we always get our meals 10-15 min after the salads. The service is REALLY quick and the waiter/waitress always seem to care if we needed anything else. Especially the waitress named Jessica, since we go there alot , she's been serving us for the 2 last times and she's great. So overall, it takes us 50 min to get our food and eat and to get the bill.

We stopped in for supper on Thursday May 10th with a friend visiting from Oaxaca, Mexico. It had been two years since we last visited Ahora. We were very disappointed with our meals, two Plato Rancheros (chicken) and one Chicken Enchiladas. The meat was all dark and tough. The Plato Rancheros were especially bad, the meat tasted of too much vinegar or lime. The tomatoes on our plate had hard white flesh. We did not make a fuss in front of our guest. We have enjoyed dining there in the past, but will likely not return. The service was pleasant enough, but it's the food that kept us coming back up until now.

Going out for a special dinner with friends, one of them really wanted to come to Luxe. I checked out the menu on line and it looked great. I knew it would be pricey, but thought it would be worth it. The ambiance and decor was really nice. Big, comfy, round booths, dim lights and modern interior. The tables were set with glasses so tall that at different times when the waiters arrived, a glass got chipped, ice fell or a piece of bread fell off the plate. Too much in the way. The service however was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. The food is where Luxe dissapointed. My meal was wonderful. Lobster pieces served with a pineapple, ginger chutney, along side gnocchi and a baby bok choy ragout. My husband had steak and frites and the frites were over cooked and cold. He did enjoy the steak, but $39.00 is a lot to pay for a steak. An other person had the roast chicken which was served on cold mashed potatoes. Everyone else was moderately pleased with thier meals, I was the only one who cleaned my plate! All in all, the small details seem to get over looked at Luxe. They have a great menu and the service is there. For the price, meals should be hot! I would hesitate before trying again.

One of my first dining experiences in Ottawa, and it was a good one. The place is unassuming from the outside, and looks like just another place in China Town. Upon entering, I was greeted with a bustling little restaurant with almost every table full. The place itself is clean, the decor is minimal, and the tables are a bit cramped. But one does not come here for the atmosphere. Though I will say that due to the insanity of how busy it was, I kinda felt like I was actually in some far off Viet cafe.

Service here was quick, efficient, to the point. Our server wasn't overly friendly, but she wasn't doing anything to detract from the experience. Just serving people as fast as possible at a quick pace.

Our food came in about 10 minutes, and I was shocked at the portions. My plate was huge and it came packed with fresh basil, cilantro, beef, pork, noodles, carrots, and all I needed to make my rolls. It also came with enough rice paper rolls to feed two. I could barely finish my plate, but I am glad I did. Everything was delicious, including the Pho I had to start.

Overall, this is a great place to grab a quick, tasty, and nutritious meal at a very decent price.

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Having worked on Carling for almost 5 years it was a treat to order from Yorgo's at least once a week. I no longer work in the city but am sure to order something whenever I'm in Ottawa. I have never found another restaurant that could make Greek food like these guys!! A definite MUST!!!

Love the sound of the fountain. Very friendly - anxious to please staff.
Fresh very tasty food. The rice paper sald rolls are delicious. The seafood soup is not only scrumptious but good value. All dishes with lemongrass are terrific. We had a lovely chicken dish - with side of mint - refreshing lightly spiced taste. Wish it was open on sunday for dinner. Great take out as well.

I have been here several times. It is only getting better. The waitress who served us was very pleasant... she was efficient, kind, and organized. I prefer the female servers to the male not because Im a guy but because I just find they care more about customer service and are generally more clean...(Every time I've gone that is) The food was very tasty... and the owner is always very welcoming with all his customers.. It seems surprising to have a bad experience... its one of the places that I go to that I know the food will taste the way it should... I must say I have a pretty good palate my family dedicates thre lives to making sure we eat well... Not really. But food is a big part of our lives.. Its good here.

Takara was my first Japanese experience. I've tried other places but nothing compares.
Many find it expensive but I think it's worth it.
The miso soup is the best I've had, the sushi is meticulously made, fresh and tasty, and doesn't fall apart. The teriyaki salmon is to die for, very flavourful and tender.
The cleanliness alone is phenominal. The atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil, a nice escape in a busy downtown area.
The dinnerware is beautiful!
The servers are very friendly and the only reason I gave a rating of 9 is because sometimes, although rarely, I find them absent when I need them.
Overall, it is the best Japanese restaurant in this city and I've tried my fair share!!

One of the best fine dining establishments in the region. The blind tasting menu brought us the following courses: a selection of seafood including shrimp, scallop, and tempura soft-shelled crab. foie gras. BC black cod - this was amazing. Beef two ways - tenderloin and short ribs. Dessert was a delicate stack of custard and berries between caramel sugar disks. The wine pairings were all excellent as well.

Wish I had their special garlic dressing recipe. It's out of this world.

The club sandwhiches are amazing. Fries ... the best I've ever had too. Their mini pizza are a real treat ...

When I returned home, I couldn't help talking to my wife about the experience, so much so that a few days later we got in the car and drove up to Ottawa to try Capones together! Just as good the second time around. My wife LOVED it! Be sure to so hello to Tony the owner. He and his staff treat everyone like they are his very best customers.

friendly and family atmosphere and the service is great always.
we are regulars and we are always impressed with every thing there.
sorry to know that they will be moving from their current location;but the good thing is that they will stay in the neighourhood in a new location.

I really enjoyed this experience. The food was excellent and the service was very good as well. The restaurant has a clean and cheerful atmosphere with lots of natural light. I ate the whole bowl of soup, and it was huge. Delicious. One thing I noticed is that the lime and sprouts are added before the food is brought to the table. I would have preferred that I put these in myself. But perhaps that is simply the style of presentation in Cambodian cooking. Also, parking is on the street only, and it can be hard to find a spot at times. The red pepper sauce is homemade a delicious too I would highly recommend this place.

I went last Monday evening for Tappas. You get to try a lot of different things for $4-$12 each. I tried 5 or 6 different things and they were all very good. My favourites were creamy mushrooms on toast and the fish cakes. I had a glass of Cali Cab which was standard but good. Finished with creme brulee, which was also delicious. Overall, this was a good experience. Tasty food, decent prices, though the Tomato Salad for $9.00 was absolutely obscene for what they served. Service was very good, and the decor is inviting and intimate. I'll go back on the Tappas night next time I am in the area.

Amazing restaurant; Don't let the ordinary front of the restaurant fool you, excellent food and service awaits. With six people we ordered 6 dishes to start, and like true gluttons, reordered three of our favorite dishes. Spicy shrimp and General Tao's chicken best in area. Six people seems like the magic number. Only issue was with the "Spicy shrimp" that we reordered which came minus the peppers and spice. We couldn't have sent it back however as it was devoured minutes after it was placed on the table. In all fairness I think the kitchen was just trying to reduce the wait time as we were already in the middle of our meal. Also I'm certain that if we had mentioned it to our waiter the problem would have been quickly resolved. Not licensed but who wants to fill up on beer with food like this? Very enjoyable experience and at twenty dollars even per person including a $20 gratuity a very hard act to beat. We will visit again soon.

Appreciated the fact no music or cigarette smoke but the booth seats very uncomfortable...feels like you're sliding forward and ditch the table cloths.

the food was cooked well, the prices were very reasonable (cheaper compared to most Vietnamese restaurent)and the variety of what you can order is endless...

The service was decent though tables for two were small. I ordered two dishes and my friend ordered one dish, and we hardly fitted everything on the table.

The decorations, atmosphere, warm feeling and sense of originality in the restaurant alone drive me to say that i will go back there again. it is such a romantic spot to be at. much recommended for anniversaries!

and for drinkers, they serve alcohol...

For starters, I would like to say this Resturant under its newer ownership has taken this Little italian diner and turned it into a stylish hip landmark Italian Bistro. THe newer look, funky layout and stylish decor make set the backdrop for an amazing cuisine experience. Although, its sounds fussy or fancy, its just the opposite. Perfect for a birthday party, a corporate dinner or your first romantic meal, this resturants food will surely impress. The first reviewer must have been prior to the new management and I would urge you to try it again.
Hats off to a job well done in turning this place into a timeless, charming dinner hot spot.
Bravo Bistro Italiano!

The owner is absolutely amazing, and always cracks jokes with me on the phone, making it an incredibly comfortable experience. The food is delicious, but that could have gone without saying. Excellent everything!

The quality of the food is amazing, especially the Kafta, Hommos and on occassions the rice. The charcoal cooked kafta compares with the best of Turkish & Iranian restaurants I've visited in the area.

The only backdraw for visiting the Le Grillade is the service part. The food takes long time to be put on the table depending on how busy they are (sometimes waiting for an hour+). The owners and staff are quite friendly, courteous and helpful. However, their level of service is no where near professional. The way the provide drinks, water...etc. The amenities are not that great. Sometimes the portions in the plate alike the Hommos and salads are very small in size.

I'd still highly recommend this restaurant for one of the best Kafta and Kebab in town, however, I'd also want to see more professional service in waitress/waitresses.

The best General TSO's chicken in town!

Hot & Sour Soup also very good!

Very good value lunch - approx $10.00 - $11.00! We go there several times a year.

The service may be efficient, but very unfriendly. I've seldom even seen them smile. One time when arriving at 13:30 for lunch we were warned that they close at 14:30 (a not so subtle hint to eat fast and get out!) I've even seen kitchen staff come out and stand around watching us eat seemingly in order to hurry us up.

If you want a fabulous food experience order the menu de gustation with the wine pairing. It really is an evening's entertainment.

Cafe Supreme offers it all - stong and mild coffee, delicious pastries, lots of seating amidst other Bank Street shops seen through their large windows. Lattes, cappucinos, macchiatos, here these are real coffee drinks you can sink your tongue into. Coffee rarely hits the spot as well as it does here. Their selection of pastries is pretty commonplace, but they taste better than the standard. Their espresso beans and the pastry's are best -- BURSTS of flavor! Their mocha is absolutely yummy and an original here. My only regret is that they don't serve food to tables, but hey, they're good at what they do.

Right across from Tim Hortons and Henry's Photo Store, Cafe Supreme is the perfect place for study groups, meetings and any social engagements you may have. It tends to get loud at times with music and with everyone walking in and out, but if you can work with some noise, you'll love it. And it's open until evening so you can take your time. From talking to many customers, this cafe has assisted many in decompression in between high stress meetings that Government employees face to students in between classes. From what we can conclude, CAFE SUPREME is the quintessential coffee shop in Ottawa. The line moves swiftly, but don't expect anyone to wait for you while you rummage for change.

author of the last review of this restaurant with a 10, I ate three other times there after the review. Three times more and more disappointed. The service is still good but the taste of the food and the quality of the dishes are sinking. only the pizzas and the pasta , the desserts stay above the rest (even if my last pizza was pretty tasteless), The european dishes are overspiced and overpriced, the antipasti a rip-off (small portion, blend taste, 9$ for a piece of sausage with pickles), the salad not that fresh ! Where is the european gem we discovered ? maybe the chef changed ! it is a real pity ! hope there will be changes in the future ...

I've been here many times - and keep coming back. The sushi is fresh and I've never had a bad meal here. I love the way they make the spicy tuna - and they are not little morsels, but one big piece and the sauce on top.

The tables can feel a bit cramped upstairs. Don't go there looking for any kind of privacy. The downstairs is much nicer, when they open it up.

Always go there before shows at the Cumberland.

Nazareth is the best Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto by far (and I've been to many)! Nazareth is an amazing lady who both cooks and serves - you won't find more friendly service anywhere. The food is authentic Ethiopian, delicious and very inexpensive. The atmosphere is intimate with only 4 or 5 tables and the walls are covered with Ethiopian art. I have been going here for almost 2 years and continue to be a regular. I highly recommend this place - definitely a jem!

Our evening out at Bella�s was a great experience. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful old house, with a patio area in the front. The service was great, but it was definitely outdone by the quality of the food. Both of the special dishes that we order were amazing. Although my girlfriends Ravioli was a smaller portion, it was very filling and tasted truly delectable (and I believe it was hand(/home)-made). Overall, the meal was outstanding and very reasonably priced as it was less than $80 (with tax) for both specials, a couple of appetizers, and a few drinks.

went with my Mother who was visiting from another province. I absolutely adore Milestones on Sussex Drive! Everytime I go I am very satisfied. The other reviewers must have been at another resturant. The Spinach Dip is to die for and the best in teh city (and I have tried many!) the Prime Rib is cooked to prefection and the Garlic Whipped Potatoes are done perfectly. My motehrs seafood pasta, on their specialty menu was filled with fresh scallops, shrips, etc. etc. and being from the maritimes we know our fresh seafood.

the only downside to Milestones is their dessert menu, which leaves much to the imagination - but after eating their delicious food and appitizers, I never have room for dessert!

First, the food is extremely fresh.

I started with the samosas and right away it was evident that it was made fresh and from scratch. The outer part was so soft while the inner ingredients were just right and fresh. I felt the same about the rice.

And unlike many places, these guys did not skimp out on the meat in the biryani. There was plenty of meat, again tasted fresh and soft.

Serving size - huge. I had to eat my biryani twice how much they put.

all in all, very happy.

We saw a full patio and decided to go in. We should have looked closer since the people on the patio weren't eating -- only drinking. The inside was dirty which should have been our first clue. But we had 2 hungry children so we decided to stay. I am 2nd generation Italian so I know my food and I have travelled extensively and eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world. This place was horrible. The caesar salads were soggy and served with store-bought croutons. The appetizer of warmed walnut encrusted goat cheese was merely a processed cold cheese ball with a few walnuts pieces surrounded by canned pineapple and some sort of disgusting, soggy cold vegetables. The gnocchi wasn't even edible. In fact, it looked like gnocchi but it certainly didn't taste like it not to mention that it was floating in a sad excuse for an oily sauce. My husband's lamb was so tough that it was uncuttable. Our sons ordered a pepperoni pizza and the pepperoni actually looked like it was bologna. Come on..how hard is it to screw up a pepperoni pizza???? We couldn't wait to get out of there and almost died when we saw the $150.00 bill. Our waitress was dingy and couldn't get anything straight so we just paid and left. Later we all felt sick. This place deserves a visit from the Board of Health.

Was in for breakfast late on a Sunday. The server was slow, disorganized, but friendly. We noticed the cook hanging out at the bar with a visitor, while we and others waited for our food. The food was very slow to arrive, and quite poor. We had to ask for things the server forgot, and then scavenge for creamers and syrup. Most tables around us seemed equally frustrated and growing impatient.

The food was really good. The service was not.
I decided to bring my girlfriend here for our anniversary since she love Italian food. We both sat down and was asked right away if we wanted something to drink without even looking at the wine list. So we just asked for a glass of water and mentioned that we will look at the wine list first. The server came back with the glass of water and left righ as ge put the glasses down. I was kind expecting for him to ask us if we decided on anything. So about 20 minutes later he came back to the take our order (just a note I should add. We were the only ones in the restaurants so I did not expect 20 minutes just to be asked if we wanted wine). So we ordered a glass of wine each for now instead of a ? liter because we expected to have a glass each before our meal. We ordered appetizers, salad and our main course. The appetizer came with our salad at the same time when we asked for the salad to come a few minutes after appetizer. By our main course came we were at the bottom of our wine and glass and our water. The server dropped off the food and left before we can ask for more. Around this time a few more people in the Restaurants. My girlfriend and I can observe that they were getting a lot more attention then we have been. We tried get the servers attention for more wine and water while eating our main course. That did not work. He just walked right by us. So we just finished our meal. The server came back finally asking us if we wanted our bill. So we took it and left.

So overall the food was good. Service was horrible. I fell maybe it was our age (I am in my earlie 20?s) that the server did not feel that we should be treated the same or something but going to a restaurants of this class I would expert to be treated the same. Or at least been asked if we wanted more wine or water.

Once one of our favourite Indian restaurants and sadly no more. I went to Rose's (Wellington Street) with my wife and another couple - it being their first time. It turned out to be a horrible experience. The owner insulted us, tried to overcharge us and treated us like garbage. We each ordered an entree, including one person who ordered the buffet. A basket of pakoras was included in the buffet, and at the end of the meal, we shared the remaining pakoras. Because of this, we were charged the price of an additional buffet! If they did not want us to share the pakoras, they should not have put a basket on the table! We are not a bunch of freeloaders here - I tried to explain this CALMLY to the owner, but instead was insulted by him AND the cook - both SHOUTING in their own restaurant saying that they did not want customers like us. Wow! Customers that for years have come to enjoy the food and who spent a great deal of money! CRAZY!!! They have lost not only our service but at least 16 other people who where introduced to their restaurant - and that?s just for starters!!! NEVER AGAIN will we be treated like second class citizens!!

This experience was the worst I have ever had in a restaurant. The service was very slow, but the waitress was smiling and nice. However, the meal was absolutely terrible. I ordered sundried chicken pasta in rose sauce and received a plate of pasta with crushed tomatoes from a can. No spice, rose sauce, pepper, parmesan, chicken or sundried tomatoes. I complained to the manager and was told that it wouldn�t be taken off the bill, because she felt I was being unreasonable. My husband�s medium rare steak arrived well done and paper thin. He didn't eat his either, so both of us left and ordered pizza at the hotel later. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Normally the Clocktower is great, especially wing night, but perhaps for this visit there was a weekend cook or the cook was having a bad day etc...

3 people had chicken in sandwiches and it was all overcooked, some so much that you couldn't bite through it. Fish and chips for another person - Fish was very dry and too much batter. Soup was ok but nothing special. Mexican chicken sandwich was overcooked chicken, some bland guacamole, tomatoes (I think) in a tortilla. Fries were very greasy.

Drinks were good. Hard to screw that up. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, the other one on staff was rude and totally unwelcoming. Get a new job.

The service was abhorrent, especially since they are right downtown and most of their lunch clientel would be on lunch break from work. The restaurant wasn't even busy! My pasta could not have rivalled Lipton Sidekicks and it was really watery. The only edible thing on my mom's plate were the french fries. We suspect the meat on her sandwich had been re-heated. We waited 45 minutes for our bill and the staff were all standing around socializing--very frustrating. Normally I am not one for leaving bad reviews, but I was shocked and apaulled to see that the only other reviewer was actually pleased with this dive (perhaps it has gone downhill?).

My mom loves fish and seafood but I hate it! I saw an advertisement for $13.99 for 27 shrimp dinner with 2 sides, available Wednesdays only until May 31. So we went there the other day, Mom loved it. Lots of parmesan on the side caeser salad! They don't charge extra for caeser, which a lot of other places do. I had the hot chicken sandwich with garlic potatos (yum!) and caeser salad. Perfect portions, delicious, great service. We even got a 10% discount using keytothecity.ca!

was actually the best sushi I have ever had in Ottawa...extremely FRESH I called ahead for take-out (work 3 blocks away). They actually recommend you call in advance to place your order for faster service...it's written on their take-out menu. Everything was ready when I arrived. I didn't eat in, but it's a cute little restaurant with a very clean appearance. The guys behind the counter were extremely pleasant.

The place is nice but the service was very very poor
No one to serve ??????????????
We are house wives and enjoy life now we want to explore the world so we go out once a month to have "GOOD FOOD" but this was very very dissapointing experience ..............
The cook and the host and the server were one body
One can imagine how it must be
IN-Out-In-out was the chase ;;;;;;;;;;;;;
The samber was served first then the Dosa were followed one after another by then the samber got cold !
Th dosa were not so crspy nor its length
( We SAY THIS BECAUSE We HAVE EATEN THE DOSA AT THE OTHER LOCATION ON DALHOUISE ) in the market
The order of pakora order was ok .....
The chana bhatura were fried in cold oil so they looked and tasted 'RAW' and not rolled to the maximum for its length to look like bhatura rather they looked like stuffed nan very hopeless
Tea never came
The argument was heated as the customer was charged
more then the menu price
If the food was cooked by Mr Garnam singh we will go back !
Thanks

My wife is vegetarian, and we had high hopes for this place based on what we'd read here. Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. While it looked nice looking in the windows from outside (paintings, wood tables), the overall ambiance was very disappointing. There was no music, it was so quiet in there you could hear a pin drop, and the lone staff member just stood behind the counter staring at everyone or fiddling with his cell phone. We knew that this place was buffet style, which would have been ok, however the hot food was luke-warm at best, and the stuff that was supposed to be cold was so cold that you couldn't taste anything (a lot of it was also rock hard probably re-warmed). If you are not familiar with the place, you pay for food by weight. I really wish they would have a scale out by the food so you could see how much it will cost you as you put food on your plate. My jaw dropped when I went to the cashier and found my plate (which wasn't even that full) came out to $19! I know you are paying a premium because it is all organic, etc. but it still seemed a little extreme.

Pros:
-healthy food

Cons:
-it has the feel of a school cafeteria
-quite expensive for what you get
-poor ambiance
-the food is bland (contrary to popular belief, healthy food does NOT have to be bland!). Even the tikka masala just tasted like tomato paste with a bit of curry powder tossed in.
-attitude of the employees
-hot food was not hot, cold food was hard

Overall, I'd recommend giving the place a miss. We live right up the street, and we won't be going back.

The service was fairly slow at early dinner time. The fries were good, but I had chicken fingers and they were so over fried it was like eating leather. The waitress was okay, but we were seated in the direct sun and our table was sticky. The waitress also kept saying "Cheers" every time she left. I wouldn�t recommend it for food, but possibly for a few drinks in the evening.

First time at Luxe. I was craving a steak and didn't just want to end up at the traditional chain of steak houses and read online that Luxe serves up a great steak and the reviews were correct.

We were without reservations and they were able to get us a table. Mind you it was still early, 5:30 but by the time we left, the place was packed and in full swing.

The service was friendly and very attentive.

I ordered the 6oz tenderloin and it came with your choice of starch, and veggie. I had it with the yukon smashed and asparagus. The only disappointment was with the asparagus as I love asparagus - very skinny and not enough of them. For $38, throw in some nice tender asparagus and don't skimp on them. But the steak (my choice of sauce - foie creme), was absolutely delicious. Was it worth the $38..probably could cut the price down to $30 but still great tasting.

They also have a great list of martinis - caramel apple is my favourite and a nice wine selection too.

Decor and ambiance was very nice as well.

I will definitely be going back.

We have been to this restaurant many times and the food is consistently very good. This is likely one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. If you are in the Glebe, hungry, and in the mood for Indian, this should be your stop.
Firstly, all of the food listed above was not ordered at one time; this is a consolidated review that covers the many tens of times we have enjoyed the food at Taj Mahal. Here is quick run-down on the items:
xcellent/Must Try: Lamb Vindaloo (very spicy), Prawn Balchow (very spicy), Lamb Madras (very spicy), Lamb Passanda (excellent and mild), Tandoori Salmon (nice change from chicked), Tandoori Pomfret
Very Good/Worth Trying: Dahl Mahkni, Saag Paneer, Onion Bhaji, Onion Naan (tasty but a bit spicy)
OK: Butter Chicken, Lamb Bhoona
Standard Fare: Naan, Pulloa Rice
Oh, and they have a local delivery service!

I have been going to the diner for more than 10 years now. The food is great, they must be doing something right as they have the same staff for all these years.

The orange creamsicle shake is to die for!

I found this place quite overpriced and not worth the money. The spring rolls ($12 for 2) tasted strange. The lobster bisque was awful - very tomatoey (is that a word?) and salty. The George of the Jungle salad had old argula leaves - very bitter. The butter was frozen. The baked onion soup was acceptable but not outstanding - I've had much better.

The waiter was superb however!

Best Chineese anywhere, and real chineese not the Canadian Take out stuff, although they offer it.

The atmosphere is as expected for China Town fair but the food makes up for it. I have been going here for close to 10 years and never have I been dissappointed.

If the food/plate comes and it is not what you thought it would be, simply tell them right away and they will gladly take it away at no cost. Nice ppl although they always forget I eat with chopsticks, come on guys it's been 10 years lol.

Go you won't be sorry, make resos tho they fill fast regardless of day of week.

I have no idea why so many people have written good things about this place. The food is way below average. Service is horrible. We ordered pad thai, cashew shrimps and one rice to go with, and we were brought and charged for two. When we brought this to their attention, they said you've already eaten all of it. We hadn't, and we didn't care paying for it, but that was no way to respond. Also, it took forever for the main course to come after appetizer and then forever for the bill. Finally we had to just get up and walk to the counter and pay for ourselves. Food was not tasty at all, and they charge extra for the hot sauce. 0.75 mind you but that is just cheap. They might as well add it to the dish prices and just bring it. When they did bring it out, it is not a hot "sauce". It is sliced chillies in vinegar.

People who are raving about this place really need to bring up their pallettes to the standard.

It took forever to get waiter's attention even before we ordered.The food came late,the order was wrong. The food were served cold and tasteless.Very poor service & unprofessional.We will never go back there again because of the horrible & awful service & the bad attitude of the manager who simply did not care.The restaurant should just be closed or fire the staff and start over! It was not well spend money for a fine dining right in the heart of downtown Ottawa.

We all love this place. We tend to order take-out, but the one time we did sit down and eat the service was nothing special. The food however is! We always order the house special fried rice and general Tao's chicken. Their beef in their beef and broccoli is so tender and tasty. Anyone who likes Chinese food or would like to try I would recommend trying this restaurant.

The best I know in Ottawa. If you want to taste true Vietnamese pho, go there. My fiancee is vietnamese and she approves the place. Please, you people who criticise the service, understand that these guys have a different culture than you. If you go to their restaurant, expect their style othewise go to a italian or french cui$ine place.

Ordered tuna rare. Dinner arrived -- after quite a long wait -- with fish suitably rare but barely luke-warm. Accompaniments were equally cool. Asked waiter to have it replaced. Plate removed and returned quite promptly. Accompaniments now hot but fish overcooked -- obviously the result of having been microwaved. Noted this to waiter who removed plate. After another long wait, dinner returned -- with all replaced and properly cooked -- after all companions had finished their main courses. Wait times were completely unacceptable; attempt to palm off microwaved (i.e., ruined) dinner even more so. Won't be back.

Food is always tasty, fresh, and even when busy on holidays we are never left waiting for the food at all. Reasonable for the price, must try at least once if you live in the Pinecrest Area.

There were three things that stuck in me while eating at this restaurant.

Firstly, the meal sizes are ridiculously huge with at least six potatoes and four cups of rice accompanying each meal. Everyone either left 80% of this meal on the table or took it home in doggy bags for a later time. What a waste of food.

Secondly, when our main meal was served, our server had his thumb stuck in our rice while holding our plates. Eew! He also did not remove our starter dishes.

Lastly, as we were eating our meal, we watched another server setting a table and he was laying down forks and knives by the eating ends of the cutlery, not their handles. Again, the sanitary habits were disgusting.

Don't bother. Walking in the door, I should have known to leave as the place reaks of old sweat and mildew. The place is extremely dated, the furniture is worn down and quite lumpy and totally not comfortable. The place needs a makover very badly. I feel my steak was cooked from frozen and had a "boiled" look and it didn't even taste that great, nothing wow here. The baked potato wasn't scrubbed before and the inside had plenty of black chunks. The sour cream was BAD. It tasted it and smelled it, how could the cook not notice it??? The only great thing in my plate were the vegetables, that is truly it. The onion soup had really soggy breadcrumbs and was noticibly watered down. The salad was cheap iceburg lettuce, one slice of cucumber, a tomato wedge and a few slivers of onion and carrots - boring, tasteless and very cheap. My dessert was soggy and tasteless. Was it worth the $50 I spent? NO!

The staff at this establishment is horrible they sat chatting behind the bar, taking their sweet time to take our order. When our order finally arrived it was wrong. Additionally, our food was poor quality, there was a piece of glass found in my friend�s pasta dish, and the management only discounted it by a small percentage, because he ate a bit of the plate before the sharp glass was found. I would not return here because the atmosphere is not compelling and the overall experience was bad.

Fathers and Sons is a terrible place. Their service is terrible. Here is what my experience was like.

We get to fathers and sons and barely get service to be seated to our table. Then, it takes a while to order... approximately 45 minutes later, our food finally arrives but two people from our group did not get their ordered side-orders. then, we were never offered the coffee that was supposed to oome with the breakfast special. Finally, after asking 4 times, our coffee arrives, yet it was spilt all over one of my friends. After eating, we get our bills, and they were messed up too. the breakfast special, was supposed to be 3.99, but they charged us 4.75 for it. The waitress had also mixed the orders and people had the wrong things on their bills.

I will never return to F&S. It is horrible

Two start with an overall impression, this restaurant had a bright mood with music. The service was excellent because the chefs are always friendly and it made our stay in the restaurant very comfortable. The food itself was amazing because though they may take a little longer making your food, they do it to add more meat and get all the ingredients straight. There variety of ingredients are not like any ordinary Lebanese or shawarma restaurant's. Alissar offers three other garlic sauces including spicy, cajun and some green one i've tried. They also have a tastier salad and some liver that my dad loves to eat. Though the price and wait of the food is a little higher and longer than other restaurants, Alissar makes up for it in it's food quality and taste as well as it's service. To me, every trip I make there is worth it.

I ordered a gluten free caeser salad. when it arrived it contained cro�tons that looked suspiciously like my friends (who was having a normal ceaser salad). I asked the server. She apologized and returned the salad to be made again. I waited and finally she returned-I began to eat to find another cro�ton in the middle of the salad. obviously they had picked out the cro�ton instead of making it again...considering I had mentioned that I had a sever allergy to wheat as well as a gluten intolerance I was appalled at their lack of concern for transfer. After all this they charged me for the Salad!

I wouldn`t recommend this restaurant with such a blatant disregard for allergies I would consider this place a death trap for those with allergies

We have visited this restaurant a few times and were okay with the food and the service, but this visit took the cake. We ordered via the phone this time, even though we just live down the street from it (literally). We opened up our meals and started to partake in them when we were surprised to find my wife's burger was way undercooked. The outsides were browned, but the inside was almost entirely pink. I continued to eat my meal, because at this point i was rather hungry, until I noticed the bun was molding. This did it for us, and we called to talk to the owner. He refused to do anything for us except to remake the meal, which at this point, I don't accept as a course of action since whats to say the rest of the buns aren't molding too. We ended up throwing the food away, and leaving it at that.

They used to be a decent bite out, but at this point, I can't trust their food quality anymore.

We had a reservation for 6 people for my birthday for 7:30 pm. We did not recieve our appetizers and main courses until 9:30 pm and we ordered almost right after we arrived. Our server told us the delay was due to a larger party which was ridiculous. The food was delicious but cold, perhaps due to the delay. My sister told the server it was my birthday and she brought us a dessert, thinking it would be free or of little charge. Little did we know that the one slice of dessert we had was
11$!! Our drinks took 15 to arrive and the Strawberry daquiris and Martinis were disgusting!! What a terrible experience!

My Fiance and I love to go out for dinner and visit here at least once a month. It is an inexpensive place with excellent service (the meal is always served quickly...we have never been left waiting and sometimes even chat with the owner while we wait). If you like hot and spicy, try our fav, dansak chicken. It's moist with a sweet and sour, hot and spicy flavour...you can't go wrong.

As for the earlier review about the doors not being open at 5 sharp, it has happened to us as well but we are fairly down to earth and are patient enough to wait 5 minutes longer for a great meal and could care less.

This is not a fancy looking place, a bit worn but comfortable enough with a touch of india decor. The only complaint I have overall are the bathrooms...in need of a reno.

Two thumbs up none the less!

The ambiance was very lovely, but freezing. Not comfortable. Service was good but we were the only party there minus the wait staff at the bar. Basically the meal was uneventful, and my friend's meal was hardly enough food to feed a child, and at $15 an entree for the type of cuisine, not worth it at all. I Felt ripped off.

Authentic, traditional and unpretentious French cuisine, with reasonable selection of wines and good bread, although not the classical baguette. The main thing missing was the traditional plateau de fromage. The ambiance is simple but pleasant and the service was excellent. It reminds one a bit of small Latin Quarter Parisian restaurants, without the crowds and noise. HIghly recommended for a good meal with friends or family in an informal setting.

This is a place to go for a dining _experience_, not simply to grab a bite to eat. It took us 2 hours to get our food, but it was ABSOLUTELY worth the wait. The quality and care put into the food was impeccable. The service was excellent- they were as hospitable and attentive as though you were a guest at their own home. The atmosphere is cozy, yet lively.

I highly recommend trying the Bison Marrow. It was very unique!

To be fair, the decor and atmosphere is excellent and I really like the private rooms and meditative walkways. Atmosphere-wise, this is great!

Food wise though, not so good. My dining partner and I each ordered the "12 Piece Sushi (UME)" for $17.95 each. My partner got a dish of soup (fine) and they never bothered to bring me my salad. Neither of us got any tea at the end (and not even a "goodbye" from the waitress). I'd hate to think it's because we asked about the sushi.

When the 12 Pieces pf sushi came, it was actually only 6 pieces of various fish on rice (most was decent, some was a bit old) and the other 6 pieces were 6 pieces of small cucumber roll (maki)... nothing else in the roll except cucumber and rice. I asked politely if this was the "12 piece" thinking maybe they split the order between us and was told "no, that's all sushi". I said that the cucumber roll really wasn't sushi, thta it was "maki", she said "Oh, I guess I should said something when you ordered. Sorry" and walked off. She didn't return, not with tea, not to see if we needed anything else and eventually sent in another waiter to drop off the bill.

Overall, $80 for a total of 12 pieces of sushi and a couple of beers for 2 people was not worth it. And the sushi wasn't even that fresh. My advide, check out other Sushi places and ask about combos first.

Stay away from Suisha Gardens

We were not sure if our waitor even spoke English until after our entree's were served ... one word answers and very cold ... the only thing that he said other than "YES" and "NO" is "TOMATO" when asked which gnocchi
was better. He looked as though he wasn't interested in being there.

Food was OK, nothing special ... gnocchi was really mushy, risotto was good! It was REALLY warm in the restaurant that night, which didn't help in the experience.

The sushi ordered were the freshest I've experienced and the Chef is very creative in it's presentation and knows how to mix the right flavours to enhance the taste to an unparalleled level. The seafood salad was a delight with a creamy ginger dressing to die for!
The servers were attentive and very friendly.

For those who have yet to discover the spicy flavors of Korea or for those familiar with Korean cuisine, I highly recommend this little gem just off Rideau Street for excellent value and as close to authentic as you can come here in Ottawa. You'll experience the Asian version of "soul food"- warm, filling and comforting - even down to the decor. As a former Canadian resident in Seoul, it's always a good sign when Korean expats are frequent diners.

I'm visiting Ottawa from Toronto and have eaten at at least a dozen Thai restaurants, and this one rates right up there. It doesn't beat out my two favourites (Salad King and Satay on the Road in Toronto if you're there), but the panang curry was delicious. Panang curry is my favourite thing on the menu at Salad King and while this was quite a different take it didn't disappoint. In fact, I think I'm going to go to Royal Thai again before I leave Ottawa. Cold rolls were all right. Slightly subpar and falling apart, but pretty tasty nonetheless.

My favourite Indian food in Ottawa!

I have been to many Indian restaurants in the ottawa area, and especially those close to this one, and none of them even compare to the quality of food served here. There is a good variety, from sweet Punjabi-style sauces to some hot south Indian flavours. The naan is fresh and always tastes wonderful. The desserts are great, very authentic. Overall the food is wonderful.

The atmosphere is very nice too. The waiters are very kind and pleasant, and always say hi and chat when we come in. The service is not fast, so do not plan to be in and out in a hour or less, but the food is worth the wait. It is always made fresh.

My roommates and I either eat in or take out at LEAST once a month...we can't get enough!! I reccommend this restaurant to everyone I know, and so far, none of my friends have been disappointed. They all have become frequent visitors themselves!

last year, my fence was promised to be installed 2 months later before the snow falls. When November came and I called them, they said that it was too late. They kept my 30% deposit and promise it be done first thing this year. I call in April to schedule a time and they promise me early May. When early may came, I called and they forgot about me and promise me early June. Early June came, and they were too busy. I threaten them because I had a pool that I could not fill and they came with a temporary fence. They finally got it done by early July. They are useless and I hope other that had the problem rate them and discuss their problems.

Having been here for dinner before, some friends and I decided to try their lunch. This was actually in the part of the restaurant called Bistro Cordon bleu and it is operated by students studying at the Cordon Bleu School. Each lunch is a fixed menu, so check the website since the menu constantly changes. One gets a glass of wine and a coffee as part of the fixed price, but you can always order more beverages at an additional price.

Each of the 3 courses was excellently prepared. It was all very delicious. The guys working in the kitchen will clearly have great careers as chefs when they graduate. The students waiting on the tables were very polite but they lacked polish. They could have been a wee bit more attentive, but we were basically served well. The atmosphere was very nice and we felt very relaxed. Parking was a bit of a problem and we found it odd that their parking lot was completely full.

The facility, atmosphere, and cleanliness was definitely good to exceptional. The service and value was well below what I expected for this place. The open Bar was shut abruptly with out notice. Later, I heard that they get a flat fee regardless how much alcohol was served. The food was extremely mediocre with the buffet having a shortage of refills, and poor taste and presentation. The servers did not really want to serve the wine as I see it as another way of them saving money because of the set fee. They refuse to leave the wine on the table which is another indication of how they want to maximize their profits. I hope they change their way, because it is a special occasion for the important couple and they should respect the money invested on this important day.

Creative minds will be happy here at CAFE SUPREME. This smallish yet very cool caf� for those craving great coffee, you can�t go wrong when they serve great beverages. A visit here will wow your senses. Start with a taste of one of their sensational drinks where you can choose your unique beverage from their extensive menu. This is just the beginning of your CAFE SUPREME experience, you can order one of their espresso based beverages such as the Macchiato. For something different order a specialty coffee. The baristas are smart. I loved the large mural on the wall opposite to the entrance which makes a profound statement, a visual expression of caf� supreme, and their signature. There is a selection of sandwiches, muffins, and baked goods to go along with one of your favorite beverages. Bring a book, write a book, or gather your thoughts, enjoy your experience. I can write scripts for my movies here! The table was long and woody table, knotty benches, and the carved chairs, make this a cozy patio for sun worshipers. This cafe has an interesting strategy, given the progressive to futuristic decor this cafe offers. It's also a marked departure from the traditional furnishings of Starbucks, who happens to be your competitor... I applaud you for establishing your own cafe identity. Your caf�'s got everything that Ottawa needs! All of it convinces vacationers that they are inside a classy downtown caf�. You've done an excellent job. You have a great location and a most attractive caf�. I like your basic table set up, the two and four seat variety and the ample space between. I like that sofa back there and the soft chair next to it. I'm down with the artwork on your walls, and I'm glad that it one of a kind! I do like your coffee offerings, your loose leaf tea collection, and your selection of baked goods. I do like how you welcome gays, bi's and others. I like the manner that you employ to market your name CS -- not in the customer's face, the way Tim Hortons does it, but a soft and subtle imprint on traveling cups, I must say over and over again, you�ve got a classy cafe, on what is arguably the hottest spot in downtown Ottawa. From what I hear from locals, your cafe has been a neighborhood favorite for many years, and you really know how to serve the community. From comfortable seating to great people watching to a great selection of food there is something here for everyone. The pastry selections are full of baked goods such as tempting muffins, cinnamon buns, and cookies such as chocolate chip which is my favorite. For beverages there is a complete line-up of coffees, hot chocolate and tea, I like all the cold drinks you offer in your coolers -and your selection of herbal teas. You also make a good double espresso. If you are visiting during breakfast or lunch there is a good selection of sandwiches both grilled and non-grilled.
The sprightly way you make drinks and munchies to sofa, love seat, upholstered benches and high stools; the effusive way your staff gesticulate to their companions and customers, square table and coffee counter; the pensive way your cafe examines the wall art work; the cultivated way they groove to the caf�'s music; the serene way management listens to the customers� requests; all of it tells me CAFE SUPREME is a caf� for the intelligent generation. Javid, the main barista knows his latte art craft and my espresso macchiato was just perfect.
Your cafe is the only cafe in Ottawa that offers a hefty assortment of coffee, tea, espresso, mocha, cappuccino; a nice variety of danish, muffins, bagels, croissants, scones, and a fair selection of yogurt, salads, fresh fruits, juices, bottled waters, and just great service! Just to let you know I travelled from the United States to visit this cafe. I am a celebrity and I heard great things about CAFE SUPREME. I took a day outside my busy schedule - to experience CAFE SUPREME. I love you guys! - And I'll be back!

My favourite Thai food restaurant in Ottawa. The food is great, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is very nice. The lunch menu has great prices, although the prices at any time are very afordable.
The Pad Thai is the best I have had anywhere. For good quality thai food and a great time, this is the place to go!

I really loved the service I got at Ben-Ben. The server was very friendly and can't say anything but good things. I did not like the Hot & Sour soup at all. Szechuan Spicy Beef and Chicken with Mixed Vegetables was okay. Yang Chow fried rice was pretty good. That was the best part of the meal.

My fiance, friend and I just dined at Dubrovnik for the first time today, and we found the food very flavourful, the presentation was wonderful and the portions were satisfying. I ordered the schnitzel with wine and mushroom sauce for the first time, and ate every last bit. My friend really enjoyed her cabbage rolls, and my fiance savoured the steak. The only comment was that it was not a top triple A steak, but still good eating for himself.
I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone else to do the same at ANY AGE. The service was great as well.

I have to admit we do visit this place quite often. The food is really quite good! The service is great and the food is never disapointing. We often get the same dishes and would recommend them all (but you need to try the TOFU PEPPER/SALT... I promise you'll be hooked.)

This place is simply delicious. The food is minimally greasy, and the club sandwiches are to die for. And by far the best potato wedges I've ever had- anywhere. Yummy.

I am new to the area and didn't want to go to a chain. This place was fabulous...doesn't look like much from out front, but there are candles lit and the lighting is ambient...very welcoming. Then you get the meal and it was fantastic. The sole was tender and flakey, the desserts delicious. It's my new Favorite for Ottawa and can't wait to go back. Everyone should eat here at least once!

This is the best Oyster Bar in town!
Always a large selection of east and west coast oysters, with fresh horse radish, and a Scotch shaker to have on them too!
Always a fresh menu on the board...
Very fun place to be!

I went here initially to get my pug some shots and a checkup. I paid just under 200 dollars for the shots + some ear medication. They even charged me 15 dollars to show me how to put the ear meds in her ear. Then they told me my dog had periodontal disease and all her small teeth would have to be removed, and it would cost me up to 1600 dollars. This was devastating news so I took my pug to westboro animal hospital for a second opinion, they initially told me it would cost about 800 for the whole procedure. So I closed my account with this clinic and went here instead, after the surgery my pug only lost her bottom teeth and one small molar and everything cost me 470 dollars, a savings of over 1000 dollars. you do the math, I don't recommend this place at all.
