Cadena Restaurant & Tapas Bar: what do users think?

Ash Kumar: The service was great, our waiter was really attentive and took great care of us the whole night. The food was fantastic, everyone in my group throughly enjoyed their food. The calamari was light and crispy and the aioli sauce was an amazing addition to it. The Leg of Lamb was perfectly cooked and fork tender. They have amazing deserts as well, we tried the churros and cheesecake both of which were delicious.

Ashley Kumar: The hospitality at Cadena is incredible, they have live music which blends so well with the atmosphere. Great drinks! My favourite margarita in the city.We had the calamari as an appetizer and the portion size was much larger than a standard calamari order anywhere else. It was lightly breaded, super fresh, the sauce they had with it was great as well.We had the surf & turf, and the lobster tail which the staff so kindly offered to make as a main even tho it wasn’t on the menu! AND they even offered to switch up the rice for a pasta! The steak & lobster tail was perfectly cooked and portion sizes were large. They had plenty of great options for dessert, we got the tiramisu it was so good!!Overall, the ambience and experience here is really great, the staff is super friendly and the food is always amazing and consistent.

Barnett Chai: , oxtail tapas, and rabbit tapas, and Spanish flan. All very delicious. Just remember to preorder the seafood paella as it takes a whole to make. And the small paella can feed easily 2-3 people.Highly recommend and will come again.

tara kugler: I had an amazing time – the ambiance was inviting, the service excellent! The Mar y Mar dish I ordered was incredibly delicious. I'll certainly return.Recommended dishes Seafood …

Kevin Duffin: Meatballs were awesome. Highly recommend

Stan D: Paella was tasty but the portion is pretty small for the price. I am used to it being more than twice the size for that price.Food: 4/5Recommended dishes Personal Paella …

Lisa: A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere! It reserved for a table of two and ordered calamari and 1/2 dozen oysters for starters. For the main we ordered the small traditional paella. It was perfect for two people and we finished super full! The service was super nice and the overall atmosphere was very nice. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. We made a reservation before hand so we had a table for sure! Definitely recommend to try it out for the paella!

The Soca Kitchen: what do users think?

Chris Roussakis: I did like this spot a lot, buuuuuut it’s pretty expensive for what it is. I’m not a big fan of paying $22 for a cocktail.Mexican food should never cost $200 for two people.That being said, the restaurant is very nicely put together. It would make a nice venue for a wedding or a party.Staff are nice but there was only one waitress working on the Saturday night we went so things were slow.

David Lawrence: Great brunch! Loved the fried plantains.Food: 5/5 …

Amelia Pushelberg: Came here to try the blind tasting menu with my partner and was not disappointed! Very cute hidden restaurant with great ambiance. Our first course was PEI oysters with caviar, followed by watercress salad, fish tacos and eggplant lasagna. For $28/Pp on a Monday night it was a great deal.Would love to come back to try the full menuat some point.Heads up the menu did not disclose how much the beer on tap was but I believe it was $9-10.Since it was a Monday it was a bit quieter with only one person serving. There is parking on the side streets and 3 spots along the road out front

Sasha No: from Soca Kitch tonight.I went to their website and found their online pick-up system accessible and easy to navigate. Less than 3 minutes later, my cart was full of dinner

Play Food & Wine: what do users think?

Christine Stenger: We had an excellent lunch today! We stopped in while walking around town and did a walk in. I loved the art here and enjoyed the service. They have exceptional service. Our server was very knowledgeable about the foods, the cheese, the wine, and more. I felt like I was able to truly understand what I was eating and where the food was coming from. I love this level of details when eating out.The wine was amazing. The small plates are paired with suggested wines. And I have to say they definitely met the mark. I had two seafood plates. The fish patty and a mini fillet. The sides were perfect accompaniments. I also loved being able to see art from all directions. The restaurant is rather small but very central. Out the window I could see the Ottawa sign and tourist reveling in the fun of it.I highly recommend this for lunch!Vegetarian options: There was a African rice dish on the menu for lunch. I also saw a few starters that were also veg.Dietary restrictions: They request you let them know if you have any restrictions.

Hana Tanasijevic: Had a lovely dinner! Very nice restaurant with a wonderful curated menu. Really enjoyed the wine pairing

Mikhaël Bélanger: I went to Play for the first time a few years ago, before COVID, and always considered it one of the best dining experiences I had in my life. I didn't have a chance to come back until yesterday, probably 6 years later. Let me tell you, that experience has not changed a bit. I have been to fancy restaurants like Bouchon and Blue Hill, and I still would pick Play over them in a heartbeat.The food is .... Mesmerizing. Their ramp gnocchi nearly made me cry of joy, the scallop crudo paired with that incredible Italian wine was mind blowing, and everything else, though not as memorable, was on point.We were served by Laureen, a Play's veteran who made us feel like longtime guests.Play is without a doubt one of the best restaurants I have been to in my life. Incredible and yet, perfectly accessible. You should never hesitate to come.

Quenby Joanette: I had a large party for my husband's birthday, but the waitstaff at Play seemed to effortlessly keep up with all 9 of us. We went for their wine list and were not disappointed. We split bottles of amazing wine between us, and it was genuinely an immersive experience. Who needs Prince Edward County or the Niagara region when you have Play? It was a tasting extravaganza and so very memorable. Thank you to everyone who made this a birthday to remember. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff funny and professional. Next time, we plan on eating the food rather than just raiding their wine cellar.

Sonya Gankina: Went for Valentine's day and came back this week. Always lovely service. Interesting unique high-end craft cocktails. Love the variation of food depending on seasonality. Nice to get an "appetizer" from top half of menu and a "main" from bottom half - the ramp gnocchi is unreal. Kitchen even put on extra blue cheese for me like I asked which was very sweet. Incredible value of two generous high-quality plates for $49 compared to other fine dining places. Atmosphere nice but not pretentious.

Vespa Wine Bar: what do users think?

Michelle Lloyd Ozturk: was wonderful and the atmosphere was on point. My husband and I stopped by the other day to celebrate my birthday and the owner was so kind and gracious, even bringing a piece of tiramisu to the table with a birthday candle.The owner was able to recommend an amazing wine and broke my streak of not being able to find a pinot noir that I liked. We ordered the antipasto and the prosciutto pizza and enjoyed every bite! I can't wait to come back here with family and friends, there is truly no end to the good things I can say about this place. I definitely recommend that you don't sleep on this place - you're missing out!To the owner: thank you for an amazing cap to a beautiful birthday. My husband and I enjoyed your stories, your recommendations, your food and your hospitality.

Hank Hill: I went to Vespa for dinner with my wife and another couple. The service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We had pastas and pizzas. Both winners for sure.The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy.We will definitely return again.

107 Fourth Avenue Wine Bar & Café: what do users think?

Jamey Pender: Great , cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Amazing and tasty food. The cheese platter, grilled halloumi and chocolate desert were excellent, served quickly and with friendly smiles. One glass of wine led to a bottle...Sensational wine and drink menu. A hidden gem in the Glebe.Vegetarian options: Excellent cheese platter with lots of homemade bread, delicious chutney and fruit. The grilled halloumi comes with other veggies and is perfectly seasoned.

Paul M.: Amazing atmosphere, intimate, cozy and fun. The steak was perfect, my Gin Martini to start was exactly how I like it, and such a great selection of wines.Doesn't hurt that the proprietor is probably the nicest, bubbliest person I have met, and that the service was 5 stars.... I highly recommend.

Mark Miller: This place is a favorite stop in for a quaint space to chat, grab a bite and share a beverage. I've been going here on and off for quite some time and it's one of my go-tos. The food menu has a bit of everything, the wine list, well equipped and the ambiance is great. It can get quite loud however due to its compact size and density of seating. I know where to sit to avoid too much commotion and chaos at this point but if you sit in the back against the wall, you may notice the decibel levels rising too high. Overall a sweet spot!Vegetarian options: Halloumi cheese, gnocchi without pancetta, fries.

Lothar Vandenberghe: Limited menu, no-nonsense dishes but deliciously prepared. Flavors are good.Wine selection top.Friendly staff.Must go there!Reservations are recommended
