the brew table

disappointed. after 5 years of making the connected hotel chain my choice to stay, through learning there was a major change in bar servers, i will not be staying/attending/drinking at the brew table anymore. there is nothing wrong with the food at all, it is top shelf,,,,,but i always returned to the brew table because of the head bartender,,,,,, for the brew table to lose her will definitely affect business. i'm sorry, but i won't be returning. i have never been in an atmosphere, bar, that was so influenced by this head bartender . good luck brew table!, it's been a slice, brian

beer choices were good and the food was excellent. we had red curry thai chicken and beef bourguignon.

would recommend this hidden gem in bell's corners.

have been a few times and the food has always been good quality, no complaints. handled special ingredient request without an issue and the servers are all pleasant and knowledgeable. update; tried to make reservations for a party of 15 and was treated like this was an unreasonable request. said they would do it, but couldn't guarantee when we would actually be seated. was more worried about how busy they were going to be, and this was from the owner. won't be going back.

the location has been many other restaurants over the years. food is fine, interior is very dark and has not changed for sometime. noisy for a business lunch, good draft beer selection.

great beer menu. really good food. our server was excellent. all around a top notch experience. we will definitely be coming back for dinner soon.

expected a pub or chain atmosphere and fare but received truly excellent food from an attentive and helpful staff. highlights were the lamb shank - which my friend (a chef) called outstanding- and the chicken supreme with mushroom rosti potatoes which was one of the best dishes i've had in months. prices were much lower than what i would expect for this quality.

good beer selection and atmosphere - but terrible food. been there 4 times to eat and have left disappointed each time...and one visit had to get my food replaced due to cold food. service isn't bad though but i'll only go back now to drink after i've eaten elsewhere.

never fails............. this is my go to place when taking guests out for dinner or drinks. i can meet my friends for dinner and drinks then another time take my elderly (picky) dad for dinner. food is excellent and never disappoints. very reasonable prices for quality we receive. service is great. only negative is washrooms could use an upgrade but this is a minor issue.

lovely place :). this place has great food. its more expensive than chain restaursnts but the quality is definitely better! the staff was really great, very attentive and offered us a sample of beer because i had never tried it. we will definitely be returning!

awesome. absolutely awesome. great casual atmosphere and really fantastic food. worth the trip to bell's corners.

overpriced for mediocre fare. i'm not sure where the good reviews here are coming from. this is a completely middle-of-the-road, well, roadhouse. its comparable to the various non-descript chains like kelsey's etc. certainly not a gastro-pub like they advertise themselves. the meals at our table were disappointing, with all 4 of us having one tasty part to our plate, and one awful part. for example, my meatballs were delicious but the spaghetti sauce was absolutely (absolutely) tasteless, as well as watery, ruining the plate. another party had a horrid seafood terrine that was (again) completely bland, but her fries were good. sigh. one doesn't go to a 'gastropub' for good fries. at the prices this place charges (entrees push $40 and most appetizers are nearly $20 for crying out loud, for a suburban pub with a patio that overlooks a parking lot and a busy road), there should be zero complaints about food quality.

i went to the brew table for the first time on friday. the staff was impressive, they're all very polite and welcoming, although the restaurant was packed, the wait was short and the hostess was a sweetheart. our server was at our table almost immediately and was really helpful with helping us pick from one of the many beers which we would like (i believe is name was dave) we shared the nachos which were great and got to the table fast considering how busy the place is. the nachos don't come in a massive pile so there is plenty of toppings on each chip!! not stingy with toppings either. for dinner i had the panseared cod and my partner has the lobster blt with fries and gravy. my cod was wonderful, a lot of flavour and the portions are very large as well. my only regret was not getting the lobster blt because the bite i tried was phenomenal. when i knocked over my cutlery i didn't even have to ask for a new set someone else immediately brought a clean set to my table. overall food - excellent, service - excellent, a little more expensive than other places in the west end but worth it, very clean, very friendly atmosphere. never been to a rusty rant with such friendly staff, they met our every need to perfection!! will definitely be going back there very soon! 8.5/10

not impressed. as a gluten free person ( i actually get very sick ) i am always on the look out for something in the west end of ottawa. craving a burger we decided to try this place out as it is "gluten friendly".

they have gluten free burger buns which was good but sadly that is all that was good with our experience.
the hostess was borderline rude. we asked if we could take a booth that was recently vacated and she said we couldn't as it wasn't clean. we said we would wait ( how long could it take after all and we had done this at other restaurants) she said that we could but if someone came in they would get it first. seriously???so we sat at the table and debated leaving but as the weather was horrible we decided to give it a go.
they have only 2 burgers on the menu. i advised the waiter that i cannot have gluten and he confirmed they have gluten free buns. both burgers come with a "hand dipped onion ring" i told him i cannot have the onion ring and after my partner ordered he asked me if i wanted the onion ring... ?? uh, no.
it took a while for the food, it was not a busy time of day and when we got it i was disappointed with the serving size of the sweet potato fries ( an additional $2). the burger wasn't cooked well and when they came to take our plates they didn't even bother to ask if we enjoyed it as i would have told them that we didn't.. i left half my meat on the plate and it was obviously very pink.
anyway, lesson learned we wont' be back.

losing its taste. recently meet friends for supper and was disappointed in my food choice. they advertised "fresh salmon" with "vegies"..well it was more like a hunk of frozen salmon cooked (similar to highliner) with 5 slices of over sized zucchini. was not worth the money!!

great place. great place to go for a drink with friends. food is tasty, a little pricey, but always good. staff is always prompt and polite.

get the nachos!
