My daughterâs soccer team had reservations to dine here while in the area did a tournament. We were a large group of over 50 people. I felt they did a good job with servicing such a large group. There were a few mix-ups with bills, but they addressed it well. The Raptors-Milwaukee NBA Game was on the night, proudly displaced on plenty of TVs throughout and one full wall projection screen. Nice!The menu certainly leans to those who favour meat with only salad or and eggplant burger for vegetarians. Wine can be orders in 6 or 9oz options and of course, there was a large selection of beers. Prices were reasonable and food was good.

Le Baccara is by far one on my favorite restaurants, and I go back really often.Offering an awesome atmosphere with delightful service and food, this 5 diamond restaurant is fully up to the category it has achieved.It's a very good place to go solo, in couple, with friends, or even for business dinners. I would not recommend going with children.Great value for the money... I know a lot more costly restaurants that do not get even close to what Le Baccara offers.I personally love ordering the "Seven-course", which is a tasting menu that I can assure can delight even the most exquisite taste buds.Getting to the restaurant may be a little awkward and noisy because you have to go through the casino, but, once there, the elegant and quiet environment make it really a special place.

Restaurant is simple, food tasty, dissatisfied with schnitzel very thin not a big portion of meat. After ordering couple of drinks, appetizer, main course with bottle of wine, desert and coffee we end up spending over $200 + tip...way to expensive for this type of dining.Service was good. Air conditioner wasn't working at all , was hot at one point, we mentioned to our server and few minutes later was fixed.

This was our first visit here. We expected that the positive reviews would have ensured a terrific dinner experience. Although all of the dishes were pretty good, they did not match up to our expectations for a fine restaurant. The funghi pizza was good, but dull tasting. The chicken souvlaki and chicken linguine special were also good, but not really a souvlaki and certainly not among the best (anyone can do a better version). Based upon our experience, I consider their dishes to be of average quality at premium prices. Servers were really personable. Hopefully, the restaurant can step up their offerings in order to bring us back.

The meze formula really worked for us, with a succession of small but beautifully cooked sharing dishes. What a good way to solve the all too common problem of 'super-size me' portions! It was very busy when I visited and service was a little slow, but very friendly and personal. We were impressed to be offered a complimentary extra dish when I ordered something my partner did not like.Although each dish is small, we found five dishes plus a desert was plenty enough for two.The absence of Musak was another plus.The only minor gripe I had was that the stark decor meant the restaurant room became rather noisy with conversation when it was full.

Absinthe is a Restaurant where you can eat too much, drink too much, put your elbows on the table and laugh out loud... all at the same time and nobody cares. Absinthe is a restaurant of the people for the people.

The best food and service in Ottawa. Always good. Staff go out of their way to accommodate diet restrictions or allergies with bespoke additions or changes. Never ever been disappointed.I'm privileged to work with such talented individuals, my colleagues really do bend over backwards to provide good service.
