The Brew Table has been one of our âgo-toâ restaurants for a Friday supper since opening. It is a well managed locally owned and operated restaurant with a long time loyal staff - which says a lot about management, and a good menu withh many choices. I tend to order the chicken supreme, a great dish with a creamy sauce and Swedish rosti style potatoes that never fail. The lamb shanks are full flavoured, delicious and hit the mark every time. We also enjoy the fish and chips and the home style meat loaf is filling. Fresh vegtable with most plates are always properly cooked - no mush, no toughness or under cooking either. I try and leave room for the sticky toffee pudding. It is really made for two.The vibe is level highher than a pub and much better quality food than any chain and franchise place. It is popular and usually busy most evenings so try lunch or make reservations fo supper. We have never been disappointed.

We went to this place on a Saturday when they serve brunch ( also on Sunday) and not on any other days of the week. They open at 10am and we were in line waiting for them to open. Once inside below street level its a very cozy pub which on this date became quickly full with people that wanted breakfast.We received excellent service, great choices for breakfast, and once our food arrived it was easily one of the best breakfast experience we have had in this city.Its a cult we were told about those that show up on the week end to enjoy this service and we will be part of it while in Ottawa.

Business meeting with some colleagues from Boston who claimed best burger/fries and beer they'd had in a long time. Soup was also great. Nice friendly atmosphere and great service. With leftovers they will, unlike most restaurants wrap up in tin foil than terrible plastic containers.

After a horrible meal at the Maplelawn Garden Keg location, we vowed never to darken the doors of a Keg steakhouse again. We experienced overpriced, terrible meals. After offering to treat a couple that did us a particularly nice favour, their choice was the Keg on Hunt Club Road so we agreed to take them. Special friends and special favour. Everything about the evening was fantastic. One friend is a celiac and received special attention to her dietary needs. All four of us had excellent meals and Julien was as good as it gets in terms of service.

So as someone who travels almost every week of my life, I have the pleasure of dining out at some of the best restaurants in the country be at casual, fine dining or other. This evening, I had the pleasure of walking to Joeys restaurant from my hotel at the Westin in Ottawa and wanted to comment on my experience. My first challenge was when the bartender brought over my 6 ounce glass of red wine that I ordered. It seemed a little on the shall we say âlightâ side of 6oz and when I asked the bartender if he thought the same, he immediately challenged me asking if I already had a sip⦠Which I did not but found it quite insulting. To his credit, my second glass was definitely just over 6 ounces and so in the end that was settled. On another note, the three bartenders just did not have the zip and zeal you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Itâs a high energy, fun ambiance that without question has great food. Not once did any of them come up and ask me how Iâm doing, how my meal was or where Iâm from and really in watching them interact they spend a lot more time having fun with each other they did with the patrons at the bar. I say this only because I think itâs important for a restaurant like this to ensure that the bartenders are fully aware that interacting with their patrons at the bar is paramount to ensuring their guests are enjoying their dining experience and certainly this was not the case at this Joeys.On a positive note, on my way out Carissa (one of the managers) did sincerely ask how my meal and experience was and I was about to walk out took a pause and shared with her my challenge only because I do like this chain and think they should kick it up a notch around the bar seating area. It was really nice to see how sincere Carissa was in making absolutely certain that she would take action to ensure this situation/attitude is corrected as she absolutely values her guests experiences and I absolutely believe she is going to do that. In the end, the chicken was amazing, the ribs a little bit on the tough side, the bar scene somewhat sluggish but management top-notch!Hello Paul, thanks for the positive feedback! We're always happy to hear good things from our customers. Hope to see you again soon! - James (JOEY Rideau Assistant General Manager)

We are visiting Manotick and friends recommended The Black Dog for lunch.My husband had a Black Dog Pilsner, the beef burger with fries and I had fish tacos. The basic burger was excellent. It was expensive if you included add ons such as cheese, mushrooms, bacon, etc.There are two fish tacos, which at first blush looked small, but WOW were they filling and very very tasty.Overall we enjoyed our lunch and would return.

Great meal with my bride. I had the hungry man - 3 meat and a side (brisket, ribs and chicken). All 3 were delicious. Mac and cheese was a good choice for my side. Wife had the ribs. Service was good. Beer was cold. Food was good. Everything a guy needs.We certainly are a perfect "guys" place to enjoy BBQ, but especially happy to hear your Bride loved it :)Hope to have you both back very soon , maybe try our All You Can Eat Ribs on a Thursday nightCheers Shawn

I was excited to try this place for lunch given all the great things I had heard about it. I went today for the first time. We were greeted at the door by a waitress and told to walk upstairs, that our table would be on the left. That's right, she didn't walk us to our table, just sent us to a different floor to find it.. Weird. We found the table on our own - it was right beside the bathrooms - loud and annoying, with hand dryers running and people constantly walking back and forth.Then we had a very personable waiter who served us, took our order in a reasonable amount of time and brought drinks. We arrived around 1pm so not peak lunch hour. But we waited for our food. And waited some more. Our food took over 45 minutes to arrive after ordering, which is far too long. Mine was stone cold, including the fries. My friend's was piping hot. So clearly mine sat around waiting for hers to be cooked. Kitchen needs to learn about coordination.So, as for the bad service - go find your table on a different floor on your own, and extreme delays in getting food, this was not a good first impression. My food was cold and just OK, nothing special. Thankfully, I was there with a good friend, because there was little else to find positive about this pub. I would never recommend going to this place. Bad first impressions last a while....

Mac Daddy burger with Chuck ⢠Panko mac & cheese ⢠Double smoked bacon ⢠Cheddar whiz sounded over the top, but was actually quite good. Also loved the swiss mushroom burger, and double bite burger.

Great place. The atmosphere on a Tuesday night was great with the trivia. The food was excellent and the selection of brews also impressive. Plenty of parking, clean facilities and the games available on the tables were instrumental in making the kids also make Hunters their favorite spot.
