Restaurants near Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

This was our first time at the Standard and we were pleasantly surprised. We started off with mussels, wedge salad and the garlic bread all of which were excellent, but the garlic bread stood out, last time I can remember a garlic bread that good was at Michael Jordan's Restaurant in downtown Chicago. We ordered steaks, perfectly seasoned, only issue i would comment to is temperatures were slightly off but the overall flavor was excellent. I added shrimp, which was excellent. The dessert was great. Overall a great addition to the food scene and definitely hope the quality and service continue, we definitely will be back soon!

Our waitress made our experience there a really good and memorable one. It was our first time there and our waitress (Lexi) was really kind, sweet, and funny. On top of that, the food and drinks were really good. The ambience could have been a little darker because I felt that it was a little too bright especially at night but I would definitely go back to eat at this restaurant and recommend it to friends/family.

Even though we were last minute reservation, because of a cancellation, we were seated in the side room. It was quiet and a delightful space! Cass was our server and she was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their food - all the food and drinks were phenomenal! We will definitely return!!

The Heights never disappoints! We have been here many times to enjoy the unique cocktails and eclectic food options on their menu. No two experiences are the same. When you add the view and the ambience of location, it is always a win!

Four of us went for a 1:30 reservation on Valentine’s Day. At that time it was not crowded, we were not rushed; it was a very leisurely lunch. Our server was professional knowledgeable. I look forward to another visit. We ordered from the lunch menu, 2 of us ordered smash burgers, another a salad with chicken topping, and I had the flat iron steak. We were all pleased. The truffle fries were delicious. And the extra salad I ordered to go with the steak and fries was just the right size, perfectly dressed. The cocktails 2 of us had were exceptional. I had a pear martini with sage simple syrup (not sure if that’s how it was described) and my friend had the fig and vanilla martini. We were both happy!
