I am never disappointed with this great location. Friendly and prompt service. Got extremely busy around noon, drinks and food were expedited like clockwork.

Extremely overpriced for what you get, left still feeling hungry, but not willing to pay $10 for a “gourmet hotdog”. Don’t go expecting to be satisfied . Won’t be going back.

Ambiance and location can't be beat! Staff were super friendly and great at talking through food and drink options - which were both super tasty!Will definitely be back next time in Ottawa.

Great spot. A must see

Title says it all, Go there for the view. Expect very high prices for the food and drinks that you can get triple as cheap anywhere else. However the view is absolutely beautiful

Great location, nice staff. Not inexpensive.

We drove over here for drinks and snacks following our scenic cruise down the Ottawa River. Our Margaritas were excellent and the snacks were good.

Nice spot with a great view. Great for having drinks and some small bites and then keep on exploring the Ottawa River trail.The service was quick and it is dog friendly! My dog was in the shade and although we had our own portable water bowl, they also have doggy bowls for water by the bar service area.The food is most limited to shareable snacks, bowls, and hot dogs. But it's enough for a quick stop to rest and enjoy the view.

Good people, good service

Gorgeously outdoor patio space with amazing views to Rideau falls, river, lac leamy park and most important of all “ SUN SET”.Fore warn: the drinks and food are slightly pricier than most but it is really worth it!!Ambiance and setting: lounge sofas and seats. Great for party of 2 as well as party of 10. Comfy and stylish.Free parking: across Sussex, all perpendicular street have plenty of free parkings. Just walk across.Amazing view: I don’t think there is another place where you can get :Rideau falls ( or any water fall) and lac leamy park and Outaouais river. As it sits high up, the view the the fall is even nicer. Most importantly , the sun set, is just al the right height and position so you can enjoy the full hour of orange sun glow on your face without feeling sun burned !!!Bathroom: clean and chic. I know it is odd but I think a clean toilette says a lot for a place!!Table fire pit: after dark, the table cover is removed and you can enjoy fire pit altogether to warm up your face !!! Just ?Live band: they have live band play here a few nights a week. Look up on Facebook or instagram to get specific details as it changes.Finally service: perhaps this they can improve as our server constantly walking by and ignoring our orders….. we were 10 and stayed from 18h-21h30. There was always someone needed something but it took very long to get serviced.However, unparalleled location and amazing views top everything !! ?
