    This place looked swanky but it did not have a friendly vibe. The bar staff seemed to ignore us, paying attention to the very young girls at the bar. The patio was very sleek and attractive but the people just seem so upity and unfriendly. The music was good. Drinks were very highly priced. I guess I am just better suited to a neighbourhood pub.

    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.

    It’s about time Ottawa got a rooftop bar. The views truly are amazing, the interior and the patio is nice, but the drinks are quite pricy, and the service isn’t always the best either. There actually isn’t a lot of room on the inside, so it can get really crowded in the winter months.

    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!

    Best thing about my experience here was Nick. He was a great server and by the time I blink, the drink would be in front of me. He made some nice recommendations and good conversation as well. The staff were accommodating and moved my 8 month pregnant wife and me to comfier seats. The drinks were something I was left disappointed in - I had the Locks de Canton (not enough ginger), West block (refreshing but too sweet), Byward shake (way too much cayenne pepper), and the Basil smash (least sweet and nice basil aroma). Overall, it is a nice way to be downtown but get away from the crowd. I would go back for the nice view, the cozy chairs, and the ambience. I don't think I would have more than one drink next time.

    Worst experience ever !! Despite of a prior reservation, we were given a rustic table in corner of rooftop patio. It started to rain, and our table was left unattended for atleast 30 min. The staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend to people wanting to go there to enjoy the views, with some drinks. There are many more options apart from this. Highly not recommend.

    I had a wonderful experience here. My server, Kate, was very friendly and helpful. She did an amazing job at suggesting cocktails and food items. She always had a smile on her face and was a delight to interact with. 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 would return here.

    Came on a Saturday night for my birthday with my partner. We got some virgin drinks and the charcuterie board and some entrées. The mocktails were amazing and the charcuterie was good. The other food took a long time to come but the waitress did let us know that it was delayed. Amazing views. Really loved the atmosphere and they had a DJ playing music. Will definitely return.

    The lounge is nice. The music is good. I came on a Friday and was surprised that they stop serving snacks at 10pm yet are open until 2am. Good area to view the city. Bathroom is well designed. No smoking area for winter though. Drinks priced high but expected. About $17 for a cocktail. What is the justification for the drink? Probably the atmosphere.

    Nice place, I enjoyed the scenery out the window, staff very friendly and attentive. Not a great selection for food, I was told I had to go downstairs for that. The only reason I gave it only three stars is their prices! Some sort of meat and cheese appetizer, what I would refer to as a ploughman special in a pub was $25. And I'm a cider drinker and I just paid for the most expensive cider I've had in Ottawa at $10 for a can and that is before taxes and tip! Still a nice place to go for a nightcap to end the evening.

    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!

    My fiance and I went for drinks and food. Great drinks, even better atmosphere/views. The beef tar tar was fantastic but the burger... I don't know where to start. I understand that the logistics of serving hot food on the 16 floor are a challenge but... If serving a burger requires precooking/reheating it until you're left with the sad and dried remnants of an alleged burger, then just don't put it on your menu. We sent it back and the second one was the same. I'm scared to think of what they do to the $40 filet on the menu...

    Great views of Ottawa at sunset, a place to have drinks and appetizers on a date or simply with friends and family. Take in Ottawa simply from the roof of a hotel

    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?”

  • 4/5 Rolla B. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice vibe for grabbing a drink with beautiful views of the city. The only downside is they stop serving food - even snacks at 10pm which is way too early. Would be nice to have a snack with your drink. Cocktails are pricey but I enjoyed my elixir drink.

  • 5/5 Kimberly B. 1 year ago on Google
    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!

    It was raining the day we went, but we had a cabana so it wasn't a problem. The service was great! The food is very good. Just didn't love the price point on the charcuterie board but other than that great experience overall.

  • 5/5 Carlos R. 2 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Gentle and fast service, perfect atmosphere and music to gather and relax with friends and family + drinks

  • 3/5 Karen 1 year ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Excellent view, solid drinks, but not the greatest service. We had to wait really long for each round of drinks and the cheese platter is not worth it for $39 when there’s only 4 slices of cheese. :( The lounge itself is nice but it can get pretty loud, making it hard to hear people over the bar noises and other tables nearby. So if its a busy night you might be yelling across the table. Great view of the fireworks though!

  • 5/5 Yishel K. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    On the 16th floor of the Andaz Hotel, it's a chic lounge that's all about the ambiance and the views. The panoramic vista of Ottawa's downtown from this spot is simply breathtaking. When it comes to food, it's on the pricier side and fairly decent, though it may not blow you away. However, their drinks menu more than makes up for it. The Rosemary Gin Fizz, in particular, is a personal favorite and a must-try. Here's a pro tip: if you can, make a reservation during the 'Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy' fireworks in August. You'll get a front-row seat to the spectacular fireworks display, making for an unforgettable experience.

  • 2/5 Chloe L. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a reservation and was rushed out an hour later to make room for a party coming in after us. We were told that there was an hour and a half seating limit. I was prepared to spend at least an hour there and spend a considerable amount of money there, but was unfortunately rushed out. Strange policy, won’t be going back.

  • 1/5 Shannon B. 2 years ago on Google
    The weirdest “cocktail bar” I have ever gone to. The lights were on inside so you could see every person dining in there easily and could not see the view as the light reflected off the windows. The service was poor and the margarita was one of the worst I’ve had. I was expecting a cool trendy rooftop cocktail bar and copper missed the mark on every point.

  • 5/5 Patrick F. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible view! Worth checking out

  • 4/5 Justin L. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Benny B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and decent beer selection. Amazing panorama of parliament and the market.

  • 4/5 Cee g. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Steve N. 2 years ago on Google
    I was here last week with my wife and had a great experience, highly recommend this spot. Alex was our server and made our visit great. She was knowledgeable about the menu, she actually engaged in conversation with us and provided excellent service. We had the sangrias and a couple copper mules to drink and they were great. For food we had the duck grilled cheese and the halloumi. It was amazing. Drinks and food were worth paying for with the excellent service and view.

  • 1/5 Ashlea P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is there $22.00 martini...... and they take it away from you half way threw...... I don't think I am ever going back, not worth the cost just to see the city. (and this was my first drink with a friend) Went back another day and the service was rude and dismissive, they told me to come in because they have multiple spots, so I went in and waited a half hour for someone to show up and tell me they are full? It took me 5 minutes to walk over? NOT WORTH IT!

  • 4/5 Kelly 1 year ago on Google
    So glad I got the chance to check this patio out over the summer. BEAUTIFUL view on a sunny day. I recommend making a reservation before going, though staff were suuuuper accommodating for our walk-in. The drinks were good, if not a tad expensive, but hey, you’re going here to be fancy. So, BE FANCY!

  • 5/5 A F. 1 year ago on Google
    My local friend took me here for the view. I ordered an old fashion was awesome. I asked the bar tenders fave cocktail they make he said oh he loves martinis. Alex the bar tender personally delivered it and it was fantastic Awesome spot, nice views. Life is too short for bad cocktails

  • 4/5 E 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 3/5 Colleen P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you can get a seat on the patio, it's one of the best views in the city. Especially if you want to see fireworks over top of parliament hill. The food is overpriced and mediocre. So if you're looking for good food, take a pass. If you're looking for a great rooftop patio with a good vibe and cold cocktails, check it out!

  • 3/5 Bango 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing view. Amazing vibez. Service was wonderful. Drinks were pretty bad although the price was really high. When you pay so much money, you expect a better service.

  • 1/5 Lydia C. 8 months ago on Google
    Ive been once before covid and this was my first time back. I don’t know if there was a change in management and obviously staff but it was a whole different vibe when I came with a friend. It took 50 minutes to get a drink and the outside patio wasn’t full at all. This was my first time getting food and lets be honest, there’s a certain standard going to a more upscale place… it was disappointing and super overpriced. Some pubs would surpass this. I found the servers very unfriendly as well. The only thing that made it different was the view but I’d rather have great food and friendly atmosphere. Wont be going again.

    Rooftop fires close at 9 for some reason. Several reserved tables sat empty for at least an hour all right along the windows with the view. Not very impressed.

  • 1/5 Anika H. 3 years ago on Google

    Jaw dropping views with even more exceptional service, this team took care of my gf's 22nd birthday and our waitress krista and host jessica made sure the experience was extra special. Just the very best

  • 1/5 Emeline G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cocktail menu is tempting, but the barmaid or the barmaid should know how to make cocktails! At $ 17 for a cocktail, no effort is made in terms of quality or presentation. As for the service, we will put this on the back of the covid but I no longer recommend this place. The star is just in sight! (Original) La carte de cocktails est alléchante mais il faudrait que le ou la barmaid sache faire les cocktails ! A 17$ le cocktails, aucun effort fourni sur la qualité, la présentation. Quant au service, on mettra cela sur le dos du covid mais je ne recommande plus cet endroit. L'étoile est juste pr la vue !

  • 5/5 Faris Al A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the most dreaded reviews because I don’t want others to come here! Not a lot of space but an unbeatable view of Ottawa! You’ll be lucky to see the summer fireworks from here so get there early! Good drinks, on the more expensive side but worth the price for the spectacular view Very good DJs and live music

  • 5/5 perry m. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the best experience ever. Our server, Matt was fantastic. He went all out to make sure we all had the best night. We were celebrating my best friend’s 50th birthday. She felt very special. Also the view is unbelievable. My family’s favourite place in the city. Love it. Highly recommend it. Also try to get Matt as your server. RUPAL MODY

  • 1/5 Gina G. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered a double vodka and orange juice, which should be pretty straightforward. I have no idea what the bartender did but it was terrible. And I mean undrinkable. Hubby ordered a gin and tonic and he screwed that up too. Used club soda instead. All of this for the bargain price of $32.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline G. 4 years ago on Google
    A great location to have a nice night view of Central Ottawa is a beauty which enjoying a lovely glass of champagne and delicious meals too.

  • 5/5 Lauren P. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite spots in Ottawa. More of a cocktail lounge so don’t come here looking for a quiet dining experience. The drinks are expensive, but it’s expected at a place with a view this nice.

  • 3/5 John C. 4 years ago on Google
    This bar does only one thing extremely well: the views. As advertised, the view at this bar is unlike any other in the city. Unfortunately, this view is negated by awful crowds and expensive drinks. All of the tables lack privacy, and we repeatedly had our table surrounded by a large crowd to take pictures, or had other people coming to sit down at our table. We were looking for a classy experience to celebrate a birthday, but it was soured by the invasion in our personal space

  • 4/5 Nancy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great views and the food was nice. We were there in the late evening and it was a bit jolting when they flipped on the full lights at closing time to chase people out. The pleasant ambiance created by the firepots was lost. Perhaps they could get a dimmer to gently encourage guest departures.

  • 2/5 Dan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great view, but drinks are seriously over-priced.

  • 1/5 Haydee B. 4 years ago on Google
    Horrible service. Was there for 20 minutes and no one said hello or even took our orders. Over priced for no reason. If you are going to over charge make sure customer service is up to par. It is not. Extremely disappointed!
