- LLYNNOttawa •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGrounded is a funky restaurant located in a high rise business tower on the edge of Carling Avenue near Kirkwood. It is well laid out, seating comfortable and you order through a QR code which was a first for our table. It was easily managed but am sure if we needed a hardcopy menu one would be available. Food was delicious and a nice selection. We found the music too loud unfortunately - not too loud that one could not converse but once some hearing loss enters the picture all music is too loud. So not a minus at the restaurant. We all agreed we would come back for the food, service and ambience.More infoGrounded Kitchen - CarlingPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Westboro•4.8
- KKimOttawa •1 review4.0Dined on 2 Mar 2025Been several times now before an event at the NAC, so close to the venue. Menu has many great options to choose from, and this past visit, the server recommended a change in a menu item so that our dairy-free needs could be met. Quiet environment, nice change from very loud restaurants where you can't hear your fellow diners over the music and the crowd. We find it abit expensive, but we tell ourselves it's a treat, it is the Lord Elgin restaurant. On that note, i find the online reservations system weird - telling me only two options were available for reservations, yet when i called directly i was able to get a time/table that i wanted. And once there, we saw many empty tables, not reserved so perhaps the Hotel keeps some tables unreservable so that hotel guests have priority access. We will go back again before or after attending events at the NAC.More infoForty OnePrice: Expensive• Canadian• Downtown•4.3
