Prescott Restaurant

#Canuckupnorth

After 30+ years, revisiting the Prescott was a blessing. Of course, gone were the metal change makers on the belts of the waiters and the wall of smoke that you walked into and waded through to find your table and order a quart, but the famous meatball sandwich was just as good today as it was back then. It was fun swapping stories with the young lads who were serving and telling them about "the good old days" when we'd come by for lunch at 12, leave at 2, check emails at Jetform, then go back at 2:30 for more bodily harm....

This Ottawa institution never disappoints !! A skate on the Rideau canal on a Sunny Sunday.... a short walk from Dows Lake for a super frosty quart and a meatball sandwich (don't miss this culinary gem)! It doesn't get any better!!! Excellent service also!!!

we arrived just after 7 pm on Saturday night. We had been referred here by several people. I must say when we entered we were unimpressed. We walked here from the marina on Dow's Lake passing several restaurants with outdoor seating and long waits. As we entered the Prescott, it was like a ghost town.. We hesitated whether to stay...but we did & we were impressed! We opted to share a meatball sandwich AND we ordered 2 mini pizzas (we wanted leftovers for our boat voyage tomorrow) I would highly recommend both! Our waitress was also excellent, and efficient. The ambiance is relaxing and homey. The line of telephone booths were a blast from the past. I would return here whenever I'm in Ottawa!
