Love this place. The staff are very knowledgeable. The food and wine are all outstanding. I just wish you still had the smoked chicken poutine. PS please update your menu online so others aren't led to believe you still have the old menu.
My favourite and first stop place when I am in Ottawa. Very reasonably priced and the steak is always cooked to perfection and exactly how I ordered. The service is fast and always friendly and it is not a long wait for the food. The atmosphere is nice and it is a smaller restaurant. I am never disappointed with my meal here!
I'm definitely planning to make Vineyards a regular stop for me. Fridays and Saturdays the oysters are only $1/shuck. The oysters are decent, not as good as Whalesbone, but for a buck a shuck I really can't complain. They have this amazing fried camembert with blueberry that is just to die for, and a fried goat cheese salad that is amazing as well. Get the wine flights too, it's an amazing deal - for ~$15 you can try 3 different wines. You can also do the same thing with beer flights (6 different beers). I'd love to go back for jazz night, unfortunately there was no live music when I went.
Great selection of wine, but that's about it. The food menu is small and very underwhelming. I got the steak and fries which was your average frozen food reheated. Others got salads and pasta dishes but they were way overpriced for what arrived at the table.
Went last night to hear the live jazz music and had some great sea food the wine was great.
Luv this place. I love the warm atmosphere in this cozy bistro and the friendly staff. I go here several times and once I had four different staff ask if I need anything. Great wine and beer selection and the food is good, menu respectably varied.
Visited on a Friday night while in the area from Gatineau. Our waitress explained how to order our drinks at the bar, English pub style. Wine and beer lists are very comprehensive! We each ended up ordering flights of different kinds of wine to complement our meals. We each got a smoked chicken poutine, which contains a generous portion of chicken, crispy fries, a good sauce and balsamic drizzle on top. Very nice. I ordered seafood, and my fiancé had the lamb. Flavour of both dishes was very good, but the star of Vineyards is really the wine.
Their $12 French fries are one of the best dinner deals in the market.
Jambalaya is simply amazing with the Californian wine flight!
Wine, wine, wine! And beer too!. What an amazing wine menu! From the award, framed at the entrance, this place seems to have one of the best wine lists in the world. I can believe it, there are wines I've never heard of. Nice thing is it's not snobby, you can chat with the bartender and he'll fix you up with something you'll like, but you don't need to know your "terroirs".
If you are into beer, I think you'll be pleased as well. There's an entire menu dedicated to beer!
The food menu is smaller, but that seems fitting with the size of the beverage menus. Great apps, the cheese board is killer (I think there were 6 cheeses!), and I had curried lamb as my meal. I was urprised it was on the menu, but it sure was good!
Great service means it was all wrapped in pretty paper, so to speak. I will be back!
Really suprise by the taste of the food and really good choice of wine !!!!
Great Wine Sampling- Try the crabcakes!!. Great little gem hidden under the fish market in the Byward market. Their wine list is fabulous and all you have to do is tell them what you like and don't like and just like magic you get something great! Their crabcakes are amazing a must try! They specialize in seafood and have some really delicious choices. Cozy atmosphere and great staff that really know their stuff.
Cozy and inviting environment with a very good choice of beers and wines. The wine flights also allow you to taste various wines during the evening. We both had the steak and Fries which included Caesar Salad as our main. They were nicely prepared to our liking and we also had the mussels and calamari as our appetizer. We will definately be back again.
Wd had a steak, jambalaya and a bottle of wine last week. The jambalaya was awesome, and seafoods inside was so fresh. However, the plate of steak was cold, so it's hard to enjoy it for a long time while drinking wine. The steak gets cold easily.
What a fun little spot! Great atmosphere, and our bartender was a blast (Michelle, I believe?) With wine flights, charcuterie, and live jazz, what’s not to love? Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back when I’m in Ottawa next.
Had thai curry mussels, beet & goat cheese salad, and shrimp linguini. Great staff, and really flavorful food. Loved the place!
Cozy spot with pleasant service. We tried the wine flights and enjoyed our dinner. The jambalaya was deliciously spicey with a generous portion of seafood. The steak was also very good.
The place has a good menu with nice variety. It was pretty easy for everyone in my group to pick something he/she likes. It also has great ambience and everyone enjoyed it.
A great venue for jazz! I was fortunate enough to hear Alex Lopez, a guitarist and singer with significant talent, as he demonstrated his skills last evening. He has a wide repertoire and performs it with heart.
The wait staff is friendly and efficient, with ready smiles and the ability to converse without holding anyone up.
Thanks to Stephanie and Elodie for rounding out a great evening!
A great selection of brews too!
Really nice cozy place, unique atmosphere. But the table wasn't the cleanest and was a bit sticky. But the food is delicious and the service was good.
