"Stale hard buns - at least a day old.
Took 45 minutes from entry to getting the main course.
Fries cool.
Nice local rosé on the wine list."

"This is the 5th or 6th time myself and my wife have eaten here. On the good side, its hard to find service like that anywhere else in Ottawa. There was one occasion, the owner came running out after us when the place was booked solid. He quickly set up a spot for us to sit. This is the only restaurant that carries my favourite brand of whiskey :) The food. Its good, not great. The more time goes by, the food seems to drop in caliber. I hope that it stops at good and debt get any worse."
