The MoonRoom is adorable. The staff are sweet as pie and very attentive. The cocktails are very well made; they make one of the best old fashions in the city. I had the popcorn, mac and cheese and bacon wrapped olives all of which were exquisite. My only complaint is that the location is very small. Looking forward to going back!
The drinks are amazing, food tasty and staff are cool beans! The mood is also on point, nothing like it in the city.
Its good here small and cute. Do not go here starving. Does take long to prepare the apps. Drinks are all freshly made. Cute date spot or girls night.

Fantastic cocktails. Intimate, chill setting like being at a friend's party. Watch the wait later in the evening because it gets packed. Food is limited but quite tasty
Lovely little tapas bar, tucked into a corner of little Italy.
Gave the server free rein to select our meal choices for us. Was an excellent experience with superb wine pairings. And I truly mean experience, as the ambiance was a match to the freshly prepared food offerings. Menu changes regularly.
Well worth several return visits.
In one word: amazing! This was the first time in a long time where I was truly surprised and amazed by the flavors going on in my mouth. It started with the Bollywood Chevre. That was something different and amazing. The Artisinal, to Earth, Fin, and Fire boards were fantastic. The bacon wrapped olives made olives edible for me (everything is better wrapped in bacon, thought)
The cocktails were also fantastic. Had a proper egg white whiskey sour, a delish old fashion, and a stiff Manhattan. They're not chincy on the booze :)
Service was great: very attentive, very chill and they explained the boards as they arrived.
Ambiance was very chill with good music.
Very reasonable prices for the quality of food and tastes you're experiencing. The bill could get out of hand quickly if you keep ordering the cocktails.
My favourite place to eat in this city. Romantic, great tunes, the food is delicious and the drinks (especially the Sidecar) are so so good.
My friend and I went here for cocktails and snacks about a month ago and I have been trying to find an excuse to go back ever since! I loved the atmosphere, service and drinks. Our waitress was so friendly and so helpful. You could really tell the quality of the drinks, so I wasn't surprised when she told us that everything is made from scratch, no mixes here. The cheese and snacks were good, nothing too exciting. I had the grilled cheese and my friend has bacon wrapped olives, but the drinks were amazing. If you're looking for a place to catch up with friends, with ambiance and a friendly vibe I highly recommend you try The Moonroom.
Great setting. Snacks are simple and fine enough Very reasonably priced. But key here is the cozy factor - nice lighting and cool music. Drinks are good and the vibe stylish.
Every time I'm not quite sure where to go I head to the moonroom. Never disappoints. Rustic, intimate, dimly lit space, long and narrow so best for couples unless you make resos. That being said have gone as a gaggle of girlfriends and overtook the bar and they didn't mind one bit 👍. Now that I have sampled so many of their well-thought out tapas, I usually start with the artisan plate and follow up with the Adventure Plate, which is made up of 3 surprises from the chef... Just this week the surprise was a lovely tart/sweet tomato salad, smoked tofu bahn mi sandwiches (perfectly balanced), and the most incredible ice cream that tasted like 'la tire a la sainte-Catherine' pulled taffy. Spot on.
Now for you Caesar drinkers out there take note that she uses local clamato that is a thicker tomato juice consistency, more like V8, and a generous heap of horseradish. Don't let that stop you thought. I couldn't stop sipping!
The service and the whole atmosphere here is refreshingly unpretentious. Just good service. They don't try to be your best friend, upsell every order, or make eyes at your date. Great food that looks simple but has been fine tuned to perfection. Made with love and served at the right pace.
$60 for two with tip. Will return again and again.
Great cozy place for friends or dates. Classic cocktails, done right. Creative and tasty small plates and snacks. Staff and management are all excellent.
Great drinks and creative menu options. Perfect for drinks and appies! Rustic and quaint atmosphere. Laid back, didn't seem to have a kitchen, everything is prepared behind the bar! Nice staff
Moonroom was a great experience.
Currently no dine-in and no reservation, it offers patio dining at the back.
Patio has heaters installed so cold wasn’t a problem.
They seem to be able to make all the classic cocktails, and deliciously!
I would love to come back again.
Had a lovely experience at the Moonroom! Went for 6pm on Friday night (was a bit rainy; no wait for a table) before going to the 8pm show at Absolute Comedy. Hadn’t been to Moonroom since moving to Ottawa in 2014, and 7 years was too long to leave in between visits. Service was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was so cozy. No indoor seating is available right now, so all seating is on the patio. We were seated in the covered section, which was very intimate and pretty with the lights. Food and drinks were amazing. I had the Cocoa Caliente cocktail, which will definitely warm you up! Also had the grilled cheese, which was fantastic. Need to come back more!
The staff was really nice and the atmosphere really cool. I just found it really expensive. $18 dollar drink, however, I think because of the alcohol in the drink that's why it cost more. The food is meant to be shared so you'd have to order a lot I think to be full. Definitely don't get a full meal option.
I love this place but the prices have been really taking me aback recently. Their back patio is romantic and magical. Go prepared to spend a pretty penny for drinks, but is is an atmosphere like no other.
Really good and inventive cocktails! Cozy outdoor space and really friendly staff.
