Review The Brew Table Restaurant Bar - Ottawa

Food was pretty good. At the table we ordered the cheddar dip, the grilled veggie pizza and seafood medley. Parking lot was a crazy situation as it wasn’t pliers that well and there were no parking spaces available! Great vibe inside, nice seating.

Visited the old location many times but this was my first time at the new spot. It was BUSY (Thu dinner) and loud. Could barely hear my friend across from me. Slightly better decor/style than the previous version, imo. The sign over the hostess station was encouraging and, even with this clue, I was still pleasantly surprised by the on tap menu. Service was good. Food was delicious (as per usual). A little pricey for what you get but not sure if that’s just the new normal as I haven’t been to many comparable places yet.

Enjoyed 3 appy's. Waitress was super hospitable and eager to help with anything, very attentive. Food was fresh and hot. The brie cranberry was the 💣 Would definitely recommend

The food is delicious and portions are a good size. Very enjoyable experience, and loved their nachos. Will definitely be back!

The food here is incredible. I literally wanted to order 3 entrees but only had 1 stomach! Food is amazing and the staff is always friendly.

Dropped in today and enjoyed the best nachos I have had anywhere! Seriously good. Can't wait to go back. Please tell me you will be having your beautiful flower baskets in your new location? Love your new place Brew Table!

The food here is great! Was a hard decision on what to have as everything looked amazing. However our server made us feel like we were rushed and wasn't very helpful with questions about the menu. Ordered a pitcher of water to my table and was told I could not have one and sat without water throughout my meal for qite sometime. We wanted dessert. Waited 20 min. After we got our dessert menu before our waitress came back, we got the bill instead. My impression of my most recent visit here wasn't a good one.

We went to the brew table as a group of two. We had the antijitos which were delicious and came out quickly. The rest of our food took over 45 minutes to get to us. We ordered the brew burger and the vegan burger. The vegan burger was slightly burnt but tasted good overall. The brew burger was fine but strange and tasted sweet. I think the restaurant was understaffed as the waitress was nice but rarely checked on us and we waited over 10 minutes for her to ask us after our dishes were taken away if we wanted dessert or the check. 3/5 not bad.

Ordered the Lamb shank. This was the most delicious meal that I have eaten out in a very long time. It was cooked to perfection. The creme Brûlée for dessert was mouth watering delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, welcoming atmosphere and pleasant staff.

we will probably try it one more time, we liked the restaurant aethstetic, we went for lunch, my husbands food was almost cold, although good once reheated, and the chicken on my chicken caesar salad tasted burnt but since there was such a small amount of it, i didn't concern myself overly. the caesar itself was delicious, but taste and amount of chicken for 15$ was a bit sad.

Low rating based solely on the terrible service. Food was very tasty however. Waited over 45 minutes for our entrees. The server admitted we received poor service as other tables sat after us received their meals. The manager came by the table and was adversarial but ultimately comped us one appetizer. Not sure if I'll go back at this point.

Beer choices were good and the food was excellent. We had red curry Thai chicken and beef bourguignon.<br/><br/>Would recommend this hidden gem in Bell's Corners.

Have been a few times and the food has always been good quality, no complaints. Handled special ingredient request without an issue and the servers are all pleasant and knowledgeable. Update; tried to make reservations for a party of 15 and was treated like this was an unreasonable request. Said they would do it, but couldn't guarantee when we would actually be seated. Was more worried about how busy they were going to be, and this was from the owner. Won't be going back.

The location has been many other restaurants over the years. Food is fine, interior is very dark and has not changed for sometime. Noisy for a business lunch, good draft beer selection.

Great beer menu. Really good food. Our server was excellent. All around a top notch experience. We will definitely be coming back for dinner soon.

Expected a pub or chain atmosphere and fare but received truly excellent food from an attentive and helpful staff. Highlights were the lamb shank - which my friend (a chef) called outstanding- and the Chicken supreme with mushroom Rosti potatoes which was one of the best dishes I've had in months. Prices were much lower than what I would expect for this quality. <br/>

Disappointed. After 5 years of making the connected hotel chain my choice to stay, through learning there was a major change in bar servers, I will not be staying/attending/drinking at the brew table anymore. There is nothing wrong with the food at all, it is top shelf,,,,,but I always returned to the Brew Table because of the head bartender,,,,,, for the Brew Table to lose her will DEFINITELY affect business. I'm sorry, but I won't be returning. I have never been in an atmosphere, bar, that was so influenced by this head bartender . Good Luck Brew Table!, it's been a slice, Brian

Good beer selection and atmosphere - but terrible food. Been there 4 times to eat and have left disappointed each time...and one visit had to get my food replaced due to cold food. Service isn't bad though but I'll only go back now to drink after I've eaten elsewhere.

Never Fails............. This is my go to place when taking guests out for dinner or drinks. I can meet my friends for dinner and drinks then another time take my elderly (picky) Dad for dinner. Food is excellent and never disappoints. Very reasonable prices for quality we receive. Service is great. Only negative is washrooms could use an upgrade but this is a minor issue.

Lovely place :). This place has great food. Its more expensive than chain restaursnts but the quality is definitely better! The staff was really great, very attentive and offered us a sample of beer because I had never tried it. We will definitely be returning!

Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Great casual atmosphere and really fantastic food. Worth the trip to Bell's Corners.

Overpriced for mediocre fare. I'm not sure where the good reviews here are coming from. This is a completely middle-of-the-road, well, roadhouse. Its comparable to the various non-descript chains like Kelsey's etc. Certainly not a gastro-pub like they advertise themselves. The meals at our table were disappointing, with all 4 of us having one tasty part to our plate, and one awful part. For example, my meatballs were delicious but the spaghetti sauce was absolutely (absolutely) tasteless, as well as watery, ruining the plate. Another party had a horrid seafood terrine that was (again) completely bland, but her fries were good. Sigh. One doesn't go to a 'gastropub' for good fries. At the prices this place charges (entrees push $40 and most appetizers are nearly $20 for crying out loud, for a suburban pub with a patio that overlooks a parking lot and a busy road), there should be zero complaints about food quality.

I went to the Brew Table for the first time on Friday. The staff was impressive, they're all very polite and welcoming, although the restaurant was packed, the wait was short and the hostess was a sweetheart. Our server was at our table almost immediately and was really helpful with helping us pick from one of the many beers which we would like (I believe is name was Dave) We shared the nachos which were great and got to the table fast considering how busy the place is. The nachos don't come in a massive pile so there is plenty of toppings on each chip!! Not stingy with toppings either. For dinner I had the panseared cod and my partner has the lobster blt with fries and gravy. My cod was wonderful, a lot of flavour and the portions are very large as well. My only regret was not getting the lobster blt because the bite I tried was phenomenal. When I knocked over my cutlery I didn't even have to ask for a new set someone else immediately brought a clean set to my table. Overall food - excellent, service - excellent, a little more expensive than other places in the west end but worth it, very clean, very friendly atmosphere. Never been to a rusty rant with such friendly staff, they met our every need to perfection!! Will definitely be going back there very soon! 8.5/10

Not impressed. As a Gluten Free person ( I actually get very sick ) I am always on the look out for something in the west end of Ottawa. Craving a burger we decided to try this place out as it is "Gluten friendly".<br/><br/>They have Gluten free burger buns which was good but sadly that is all that was good with our experience.<br/>The hostess was borderline rude. We asked if we could take a booth that was recently vacated and she said we couldn't as it wasn't clean. We said we would wait ( how long could it take after all and we had done this at other restaurants) She said that we could but if someone came in they would get it first. Seriously???So we sat at the table and debated leaving but as the weather was horrible we decided to give it a go. <br/>They have only 2 burgers on the menu. I advised the waiter that I cannot have Gluten and he confirmed they have Gluten free buns. Both burgers come with a "hand dipped onion ring" I told him I cannot have the onion ring and after my partner ordered he asked me if I wanted the onion ring... ?? Uh, No.<br/>It took a while for the food, it was not a busy time of day and when we got it I was disappointed with the serving size of the Sweet potato fries ( an additional $2). The burger wasn't cooked well and when they came to take our plates they didn't even bother to ask if we enjoyed it as I would have told them that we didn't.. I left half my meat on the plate and it was obviously very pink.<br/>Anyway, lesson learned we wont' be back.

Losing its taste. Recently meet friends for supper and was disappointed in my food choice. They advertised "fresh salmon" with "vegies"..well it was more like a hunk of frozen salmon cooked (similar to Highliner) with 5 slices of over sized zucchini. Was not worth the money!!

Great Place. Great place to go for a drink with friends. Food is tasty, a little pricey, but always good. Staff is always prompt and polite.<br/><br/>Get the nachos!

Amazing service and great food! Came from Chicago and we are highly impressed! Manager Darren was terrific!! Highly recommend! Great selection of beer!!

Love the atmosphere. Great food, great staff and very quick...<br/><br/><br/>However the chowder is a definite 4 out of 10. Someone should go back to the cove and learn what its all about.<br/><br/>EDIT:<br/><br/>Okay, I was in a bad place. My wife from the east coast had just left me for a lobster fisherman and I thought I would never have another bowl of her sweet, sweet chowder. Though they may never re-create the broth, the blend, and the beauty you get with every bowl of her chowder, I've made strides in my life and I've learned to enjoy other chowders. I returned to The Brew Table with an open mind and discovered that's a chow that's fit to mow. 8/10.

Some issues, but the food was great. I went here with a group of 8 people for a late evening meal and while one of our guests had his drink order forgotten by the waitress, and then his food order missed by the kitchen, the excellent food (and his free meal) made up for the mistakes. Everyone else had no complaints with the staff or with the meals we ordered. The food I had was delicious. I enjoyed the Vindaloo curry and was happy to discover that they do not skimp on the spice. My only real complaint is with the restaurant's logo. It's hard to read the logo on first glance.

Love this place. Its in my top 5. Very friendly staff, wide menu variety with very very good food. Lots of selection on beer. The atmosphere is great and the prices are reasonable.Highly recommend.

Obsessed. My family is obsessed with this place. We're there all the time and have gotten to know the staff (mostly from D'Arcey's) very well.<br/>The food, drinks & atmosphere are spot on. <br/>If you want a laid back place to watch the hockey game or enjoy good company over a few beers, you've found it!

Shared the angus burger. Burger like homemade but nothing special. Disappointed with sweet potato fries which were shoestring. Expensive for value. Decent beer selection on tap, but does not live up to brew table name expectations. Had more character with pre-Reno decor.

5 STARS. I've actually frequented the Brew Table ever since discovering this gem last year. It's about time something great came around to the West End! Friendly staff and owner, very knowledgeable, fantastic food, not a huge menu that is simple and tasty. Good wine list. Love the fireplace area, with a comfy couches and a reclaimed wood coffee table - very unique. Bar is also very nice. A definite downtown flair, but so conveniently close to home! Enjoyed dinner, lunch, and afternoon snack there - never disappointed.

WOW. My wife and I were out and about Xmas Eve day, and stopped for lunch at THE BREW TABLE and we picked a winner. We started with the Brie Cheese appitizer with cranberrry sauce " BAM" Carol had the Chicken Caesar Salad and I had the BREW TABLE BURGER and let me say this " BAM BAM" for both. The service was great the food was great and the experience was great. Can hardly wait to go back. Thank you Brew table.

Very good food, very friendly staff!. My wife and I eat here most Fridays. Its always packed, so I'm surprised to see that the "like" percentage isn't higher. I often get the Vindaloo curry (very spicy, just the way I like it!). My wife frequently gets different salads, and the salmon. The food is always very good! We like this place alot! We also find that the staff are friendly and attentive. Give it a try! Count us as regulars!

My new top favorite place! Tonight was my first time going to the Brew Table and I will definitely be going back whenever I can and will definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know! I went with my boyfriend and my almost 2 year old daughter and received the best service I have ever gotten at any restaurant. Our server - who I wish I remembered his name- was awesome. He was friendly, polite, pleasant and at our table constantly. Thanks for the great experience!

Great place for a drink and snacks. Started going to watch playoff hockey and have drinks we"ve been now 4 times in the last week and a half. Foods excellent staff very friendly . Will come back again and again.

Good food. Had breakfast with my wife and as usual they don't disappoint. I had the eggs over easy with banger sausages. multigrain toast and potatoes. Wife had same excepy very crispy bacon everything was cooked to our liking. Great service...thanks Virinder
