Beautiful Fall evening to celebrate our anniversary! Remi made great suggestions and was very attentive (even though the place was hopping)! Best Gooden secret in Ottawa for a view of the locks, river and Parliament.

We were very disappointed with our food quality. This is the 3rd time we been to the restaurant and in our last experience the food was spectacular. This time, we had a table of 8, all our smoke meat poutines were soggy, the meat was favorless and fatty. Our salad was bland and oily. The chicken in our chicken Caecar salad was dry and tough. Tuna Tatar was favorless as well. Staff were too busy. We waited over an hour to get our food.

A must go to a great sunset in Ottawa. Staff super friendly, simple food made with really good ingredients! Don't be intimidated by Chateau Laurier, this is a laid back patio, with a intimate atmosphere, perfect to end a summer Sunday.

Restaurant was nice but menu very limited. Mostly vegan options and honestly not a lot of good meat options. It was more vegan, snack kind of food and they focused more on pizzas. Spent $200 on a bad menu. You’re paying for the views only
