I checked the websites and reviews of many restaurants in Ottawa to find an interesting place for…read moredinner my first night here. Apothecary Lounge seemed to have many things I knew I'd enjoy, such as the menu items and the atmosphere. It surpassed expectations. Upon entry, going down the stairs, I noticed an enjoyable aroma, but it took me a minute to realize what it was - cocktail smoke from the wood chips used to smoke many cocktails. That eventually included my first drink, the Mortician. Later in the evening, I took advantage of the Dealer's Choice menu option, to have the bartenders craft a drink to my whim. I requested a variation on an Old Fashioned using Canadian Rye and something other than simple syrup as the sweetener. My drink was interesting and complex, including Amaro Nonino (a favorite of mine) and yellow chartreuse. Well done! We ordered both small plates and entrees while there. Everything came out really quickly, everything was fresh and full of flavor. Of everything I ordered, my favorite was the Bang Bang Shrimp. Unfortunately, the wonderful lounge mood-lighting made it difficult for me to take good photos using my older phone. But the highlight of the evening was the service. We could tell we were going to be in for an enjoyable time the minute he greeted us, wearing a tiara, and joking about how he got it and why he wore it. He was friendly and chatty, while being very knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive, checking on us every few minutes with more banter. he had an infectious laugh that he brought to every table, and it was clear he was enjoying what he was doing. I've had probably thousands of meals out over the years, and most service blends together. This waiter, this service, will be memorable, which helped make the entire experience memorable.

Even though it's a golf course, staff are not snooty nor pretentious. Actually, the opposite. Relaxed. Very. Not polished nor uptight. Food took awhile on a Tues night. Ordered were... Brussel Sprouts to start. Would pass on these, next time. Too small, too charred. Salmon. Decent. Seafood linguine, decent. Had a sweetness to it, perhaps in the sauce, borrowed from the green curry dish. I had breakfast leftovers. Sidenote... I'd never been here before but the staff and guests had us steer away from the 2 Thai bowl dishes. I'd come back. The wine was good, great atmosphere.. unless trying to find the washroom. The restaurant is a maze!!! Prices were up there but, expected given the location.

There's a stage in one section and they regularly offer music. And there's a bar section, so you can come in just for drinks. The tables are inviting, set with glass ware and white square dishes at each place setting. We've been to Renegadz in Prescott twice now, once for brunch and the other for dinner. Brunch was good, but this is a dinner place, dinner was even better. I guess the place gives a better dinner vibe although food was good both times. For dinner, hubby and me ordered steaks, but I got a baked potato and hubby got wedgie potatoes. Comes with Al dente vegetables. Really good! But one of our friends ordered fish, and it looked amazing! I could hardly believe the size of the piece he got! He took half home for lunch the next day. He said it was delicious. His wife ordered fettuccine Alfredo, and it was good - she finished all of it. And we ordered deserts. Three of us requested turtles cheesecake, but hubby ordered a chocolate cake. THAT was also amazing! Four layers of huge, tasty, moist chocolate cake!! He took a portion home. The meal and the service delicious.And the service was good too. We will be back.

The view is stunning and honestly sets such a nice mood. I really wanted to love the food as much as I loved the setting... but it just didn't deliver. Everything tasted like it had been pre-made hours ahead, and I'm not convinced they use many fresh ingredients aside from the salads. The dish I ordered was hands down just salt and oil , no real flavor, nothing fresh or vibrant about it. When I brought the leftovers home and reheated them, even more oil poured out, to the point where it literally turned me off from finishing it. The drinks, though? Delicious. I had the spruce margarita and that was honestly the highlight of the whole meal -- super refreshing and really well-balanced. Overall, beautiful restaurant, amazing views, great drinks... but the food needs some serious improvement for me to go back.
