Ok. I have read all the reviews and in truth, I found the staff courteous and trying to help if they could. I saw parents with their young kids there, showing them the magnificent view at night. So let’s sum it up, this is a place to sit back and enjoy the beautiful views of Ottawa, especially in the evening with special people you enjoy. If you are looking for a grand food experience there are better for less money. But if you’re looking for a nice place to sit down, ignore the costs and enjoy the evening with awesome music this is the place to come! I gave it 4 stars, because we ordered 2 drinks, both of them where G&T’s and none of them came with any garnish. I would have thought when you order an $18 G&T it would come with its own unique garnish. But then again, we didn’t care at the end, we realized that like the majority, you come for the view and the amazing lounges with their own fire pits and amazing music to enjoy the evening.

I’ve been waiting for them to open for public dine in’s since last year! We finally went 😂
The drinks and the food were delicious, and talk about their view of the city!
The flying canoe cider was delicious, even for me who doesn’t like cider so much.
Shrimp cocktail was tasty but a typical expected taste.
The duck confit grilled cheese was extremely delicious, I would highly recommend this to others!
A great dining spot, I would visit again!

We had a great time. The drinks are good, pricey at around $20 each, but you're paying for the view. The service is excellent. We came post dinner so did not eat but the food at other tables looked good. I think you need a reservation to get a table outside. We had one and enjoyed a table by the glass along the edge. There are tables for larger groups set back and a couple of them have fire tables.
Would be nice if they dimmed the lighting. Lights were so bright it takes away from the atmosphere and the view.

My husband and I had an amazing date here! The views are beautiful, and the staff is SUPER friendly. We loved the music too. Yes, the drinks are pn the pricey side, but this is the case for most rooftop bars anywhere in the world. I would recommend making reservations in advance (we did, and we had a great table). I would recommend it to anyone visiting Ottawa!

Best high-end cocktail bar in Ottawa, great service and the views are amazing. When’s the last time a skilled bartender discreetly asked, “Was it made to your liking sir?”

Best view ever! Located in the heart of downtown. They make off the menu cocktails! The bar is small, can’t hold much crowd which is good(social distancing). However, I just find the place a little warm.
But overall, a good place to hangout. Price wise, affordable.

Great gem of a spot here! Exclusive to hotel guests only at the moment due to COVID, but were able to bring some friends as guests. Staff were very accommodating on this chilly/windy evening and let us move to a fireplace (bring a jacket, even in the summer!). Drinks were pricey, but you won’t get this view, atmosphere and so few people (not crowded) at any other Ottawa venue!

I’ve been here maybe 3 times and 2/3 experiences were an absolute bust. The first was for a Canada Day event where we were told we couldn’t make reservations. Of course when we got there the rooftop was dreadfully packed, but a couple was nice enough to make room for us. The manager then went around putting “reserved” signs down on tables (including ours) when I asked about this the manager immediately had an attitude. The drink menus were replaced with bottle service menus that were absolutely ridiculously priced. (The regular drink menu alone is already shocking!) The manager told us unless we were ordering bottle service we had to leave. Pretty outrageous considering we had confirmed days earlier that we weren’t able to make any sort of bottle service reservation at all! I was extremely offended. My second experience here wasn’t as awful but definitely made me realize that this place is NOT worth the hype. We went to the rooftop on a Saturday after having dinner downstairs. The music was awful and again, hardly anywhere to sit. Most recently, we tried for TWO WEEKS to book a reservation for a going away party and there was not a single person to answer the phone. Since our group was larger than 6 people, making a reservation on open table was not an option. E-mails went unanswered as well. Just absolutely deplorable service here. I recommend spending your money elsewhere.
