★★★★★ 5.0 Angela Schoger · Mar 2026

This was an awesome experience and my 2nd time here. We brought our parents for their 50th anniversary on Sat. Feb 21st ❤️ We made a reservation and sat upstairs. Everyone in our group loved their food as well as the appetizers. Highly recommend the cheese curds! Happy to have had the same type of experiene for our 2nd visit also. Food came out quickly and service was on par. Very lively and trendy atmosphere. Definitely recommend reservations because it can get busy. Love that Ottawa has such great options and great spots to experience!

First time in Ottawa, very happy we made a stop here. Staff was very friendly, loved the atmosphere and historic building. Beer was great with a large variety of options!

The Wisconsin Fried cheese curds were very good! We had the Wagyu Reserve burger.. Not a bad burger, but nothing really stood out about it. The staff great!

I went here on a weekend and the place was crowded. I loved the cocktails. The food was good. The citrus salmon was good and the salmon was nicely seasoned. I loved the cauliflower florets. Also the tacos were delicious and the shrimp was perfectly cooked and tasted great. The wings were amazing and the chicken was cooked just right. The ambience was good. But the service was bit late and we had to wait for sometime for each order to get delivered.
