Wonderful and lovely! Stopped by while on a short day trip in Ottawa and had the best brunch! It was recommended by a friend and I was so glad they did. The place was packed and I was blown away by the menu options. I got a Benny and lavender latte, it was amazing. Would definitely recommend !!
Attentive service and great food in a small house decorated in such an inviting way it really does create a nice garden atmosphere for tea. The menu had so many yummy sounding options it was difficult to choose but we were all very happy with what we selected. Will have to come back to try the rest!
What a beautiful spot!! I had such a special experience when I visited for lunch this past week. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and what goes well together. I could see how this would be the perfect spot for people to host small events with friends. 5 stars all the way!!!
And don’t know what to say. It has nothing to do with Ottawa. When we entered the place all the local setting changed to a place in Europe, Paris or maybe Rome? The place is very elegant and high class. The furniture, plates, and the chandeliers are all marvellous. The person who served us was very friendly, professional and makes you feel very comfortable and satisfied. Good taste, quality, and look are Royal class. It worth the high cost of the food ! Wait a minute, it wasn’t that expensive too ! The only thing that we did not feel comfortable with is the neighbourhood, a bit scary with a lot of police.
We had the two vegan items on the menu. The vibe was excellent. The drinks were good but hard to drink with all the bits..how do you properly drink it with all the floaties lol. Might be a me thing. Finally the food was presented well but was quiet bland so was not impressed. Id come back for the atmosphere only.
If you can afford it, pay for the real deal- this isn't it. While the first server that sat us down, Chloe, did an amazing job and was really knowledgeable, the rest of the experience was overseen by another server and was 'meh' at best. The demographic of the clients and servers alike was early 20s, so as a group of 30+ year olds, we were definitely out of place. They were late setting up our reserved table, then rushed us out before our 90 minutes was up. Additonally, they did not rotate the sugar bowls at the tables, so ours had a spoon hardened with sugar, because someone has obviously used the spoon in their tea. After taking away our plates, the server cleared our tea out, without asking, before some of us had finished. The space is really crowded and the choice of dishes was really inconvenient- our scones came in cages. The food was not a complimentary mix! For example, there was a tiny pink pancake with kale pesto as one of the savory treats... Towards the end, the server came by to let me know she was bringing the debit/credit machine for payment. I had paid online already, so I was confused for a moment, until she said 'it's for gratuity'. When she brought me the machine, she told me to 'just put in the right amount and pay'. Overall, I would not recommend. You'd have a better experience ordering your favourite items from a local bakery and making a pot of tea that you can actually drink, at home with friends.
Disappointed and not worth the money. Came here for a date expecting a lot more. we pre-booked a 3 course meal with bottomless prosecco costing around $65 a person or $127 in total. Upon arrival the moment you walk-in to their indoor dining you are standing in the middle of the "dining room" there is no host stand or host/server near the door, on top of that the space is small so if someone in standing there you have to back up in order for someone to walk by you making you back into tables/someone else Therefore, we were waiting for someone to help us which took a good 5-10 mins as the three servers that were there were all too busy, one was on patio, one was talking to someone and one was in the kitchen/bar. None facing you or acknowledging you once entered. When they finally noticed us it was still a bit of a wait to get seated. When we got seated we were disappointed as we were sat at this plastic small table with a gold table cloth and very very small plastic chairs They for sure had better tables that had cushion chairs and seats The seat not only was uncomfortable but looked like they just sticked it in a corner to make "Extra seating" advised that there were tables leaving/has payed the bills but we were not offered to wait as we noticed they were also struggling to decide on a table to give us it only got worse from there as service was horrible, we were given a seating limit which is understandable but the verbiage given made it seem like they want us immediately up and out while other tables were allowed to stay seated after they payed their bills. We ended up not enjoying the meal as it was mediocre, AC wasn't really working and not a great overall experience. We only managed to stay there for 30 mins and the other tables that payed when we arrived were still seated with no intent to leave and as this was a prepaid experience we asked the server if anything needs to be done, they said no therefore we walked out, when exiting the door another server approached us saying "Did you pay?" when they are well aware and knew that we were doing the prepaid experience making it sound like we were walking out on a meal. DO NOT RECOMMEND rather be doing the Shangri-la Tea Room experience or actually buying from a local bakery instead.
An amazing brunch place owned and hosted by some very cool people. They're super friendly and encourage great dogs on their patio they've got very cool water dishes that they'll bring out The food is amazing! Definitely top tier brunch food with vegan options that even entice someone who loves the brisket benny. All fresh, delicious, and presented in unique, fun ways. A lively musical selection and bottomless mimosas that they're not at all stingy with refilling. This is a must try brunch place.
Came for Drag Brunch and it was so much fun!! All the food was so delicious and beautiful from the tea to the scones to the crowaffle. Portions were perfect leaving me full but not stuffed. Our waiter and all the workers were so sweet and accommodating and the decor brought a great ambiance. The queen Devona Coe put on such a fun show and it was just a great way to spend an afternoon!
The food was really, really great! My friend and I ordered the WAP, brisket benedict, and wicked waffles! So yummy! I don’t normally leave suggestions, but I would suggest the restaurant to stagger reservation times. We were rushed out while I was still eating. It felt very uncomfortable. The restaurant let everyone in at 10 AM I’m guessing everyone had 10 AM reservations. Because the restaurant was full the server took our order last out of all the tables past 10:30 AM. They served the waffles around 11 AM and the remaining dishes around 11:20 AM. Then they started rushing us out around 11:35 PM, so realistically, we had to finish the two dishes in about fifteen minutes. They handed me the bill when I hadn’t even finished my food. I think this could’ve been avoided if they staggered reservation times maybe half the tables at 10, the other half at 10:30?. I understand that the time limit is 1.5 hours, as indicated in OpenTable, but this time limit wasn’t fair in light of the delay in service. Otherwise, the food was really good! Would recommend to others :
