The Spin Kitchen & Bar is a welcoming spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.....my latest visit was for breakfast and the hostess was pleasant and cheerful. The server, Betty, was welcoming, cheerful, and made my visit a bright spot to my day. The meal itself was well prepared and the fruit was fresh and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Ottawa area. We have been visiting this location for many years past. It is always a great spot, even for a quick coffee break.

My daughter has anaphylactic food allergies.we had initially enquired about whether she could be accommodated and were told yes by someone who seemed to âgetâ food allergies. But the next night we were not reassured enough to feel safe eating there. Chef implied that they were good with nuts but seemed to not get it regarding other food allergies. Also table and surrounding area not clean ( I.e. food debris everywhere) left us felling that cross contamination would be a not insignificant risk. Left without ordering. Disappointed as the first conversation had been so promising.We regret your disappointing experience. Rest assured that we do take these matters very seriously and attend to the specific needs of our guests with the highest regard and attention.We hope to welcome you back one day. We are confident that you will be pleased.Sincerely,Marion te WinkelDirector of Operations

I finally checked out this restaurant over the weekend and what a beautiful spot. The decor and vibe was splendid. The menu all looked amazing and what I did end up choosing was tasty. The only down side was that the service was lacking. Our server didn't seem to be around much and when she was there, seemed overwhelmed. However, that won't stop me from trying this restaurant again.

Food: appetizers were lackluster; mains were so bland we had to ask for more seasoning. Kitchen forgot half the meal of someone at our table which was later brought halfway through finishing the course. Desserts were beautiful and delicious and brought the overall experience to âborderline badâ instead of outright poor.Service: delivered sporadically, inconsistently and with the attitude of a preteen greeting her lesser favoured divorced parent. Not sure this was a personal issue though as every single member of the waitstaff seemed frazzled to the point of near tears and more than one uttered swear words angrily under their breath while passing our table in a hurry. I would wager a bet that management is not setting them up for success as I can see this sentiment echoed in reviews below.All in all: I have eaten at this restaurant more times than I can count (pre-renovation and post) and have left disappointed more often than not. Once, when I was dining here with my parents, our waiter cut his hand open with the corkscrew and bled all over the white tablecloth, flailing his hands in panic and spraying blood all over our table in the process. It brings me no joy to say that that meal was honestly more enjoyable and memorable than this one. I canât say I will eat here before a show again, which is sad given the convenience. Good day, thank you for taking the time to share your recent experiences of 1 Elgin as well as your previous experience with the restaurant before renovations. We're glad you enjoyed the dessert but are disappointed to hear that the rest of your meal, and the service you experienced, were less than optimal. These messages are brought to the attention of staff and management in order to continually improve our service to valued patrons, like you. It sounds like you were served on a show night, which can get a little hectic with our endeavor to serve between 150-200 people in the space of a couple of hours before a show. It's a difficult task that our staff continually works hard to perfect. Thanks again for sharing and we do hope to see you again.
