    Homemade beef and barley soup.
    Valerie D.

    Not a bad little restaurant. It is in an industrial park, so you wouldn't expect much, right? I ordered the chicken fingers with a side of onion rings. Not the best, these were obviously the frozen fare that you can get at any diner. That being said, my boyfriend ordered a turkey wrap with a side salad and a starter soup, and it was all homemade and super fresh! I had to steal some of his food and it was delicious! We were both super impressed with his meal!

    For a diner in an industrial park, this place is pretty good. I like that it is a real sit-down restaurant, since a lot of places in industrial parks tend to be mostly for takeout. I also like that there is plenty of free parking in the parking lot. I got the hot chicken sandwich ($9.95). It comes with either fries and coleslaw or a garden salad. When I go to diners, I always struggle with the decision, do I go for fries which are usually delicious, but unhealthy, or do I go for salad which is healthier than fries, but probably not too tasty as it will likely be just iceberg lettuce, red cabbage and carrots. Well, I am happy to report that the garden salad at Cindy's has much more than just iceberg, cabbage and carrots. It also had red, green, orange AND yellow bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and even broccoli. Oh and there were a few pieces of romaine lettuce too. So it was a much better salad than I expected. I got their made in house vinaigrette, which I felt was mostly oil and I didn't think it had much flavour, but thankfully I asked for it on the side and it arrived as requested, so I just put on a little bit and ate most of the salad dry. Maybe I will try the made in house garlic dressing next time. The hot chicken salad was shredded pieces of roast chicken breast between 2 slices of white sandwich bread smothered in gravy. It was tasty. The meat was lean and they were generous with the gravy. The gravy wasn't overly fatty and had good flavour. Service was very pleasant and friendly, but I did notice that they were more attentive to their regulars. A regular had his water topped off twice, while I sat with an empty water glass for most of my meal. Once you're done, you pay at the cash register. There's lots of seating and the place looked clean. Prices are very reasonable. I can see why they have lots of regulars.

    I made this account specifically so I could review this place. I've been going here since I was in…read moreelementary school (I'm 17 now). It's always been a special morning when we got Broadway for breakfast. They're a similar restaurant to Zak's Diner; with great food and their signature Homefries (that could sometimes use a bit more seasoning). You can get their Homefries anytime, even after breakfast, but their quality isn't as good as fresh in the morning. On top of just the food, the have amazing service. The staff is always happy for a quick chat or there for a good recommendation. In terms of speed, it depends on when you come, but provided you know what you want, it can be as little as 5 minutes (the time it'd take to drive to the store). Now to the Ambiance. The place is inspired by NYC's Broadway (specifically their Musicals) so the restaurant's walls are decorated accordingly. Overall, this is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Ottawa, and probably my favourite one for eating breakfast. My only qualm is asking that the Homefries receive more seasoning, but that is something so minor that it shouldn't result in the loss of a star from my review, and similarly it only really happens when I order takeout. Edit: I forgot to mention that from what I've seen, the owners are great people. Some of their staff have worked for over 10 years (some over 20), and they still have good things to say of their bosses (the staff, I mean), which is not something you tend to see. Also, this place is locally owned and operated.

    This spot is always full on weekends. Expect 10-20 minute wait. I took a take 1 ($19.50) 3 eggs…read morewith 3 meat, switch my ham for bacon. Service was quick breakfast was good.

    Breakfasted here twice during a weekend trip to Ottawa in November 2014. I was staying at the ARC…read moreHotel and my reservation included a daily breakfast credit at the ARC Lounge. I went pretty early both times and I was the first or second table there. I ordered the Trio Sante (a combination of yogurt, fresh fruit, and house-made granola) on my first visit and the ARC French Toast on my second. Both were excellent - I even dreamt about the french toast for awhile after =P There was just something about the contrast between the soft, rich, custard-like interior and the crunchy, oat-encrusted exterior in combination with a delicate spice, warm maple syrup, and tangy citrus butter... yum. To drink, I tried the drip coffee and a latte - both were average. The decor is modern and clean lines, with some elements from nature. It's bright and sunlight streams in from the windows. Basically, a great setting for a relaxing breakfast. Keeping in mind that both times I was one of only a few people there, service was appropriately attentive - i.e., there when it was necessary and not over bearing. Prices were on the high side, but probably on par with what would be expected in a hotel restaurant. I would come here again if I were staying at the hotel but, truth be told, there are other breakfast/brunch places in Ottawa that are higher on my list of places to go.

The food is Michelin level and the drinks were so tasty. Deserts were also incredibly delicious. 1000000/10 could not recommend this enough. Ambience was very calm. And relaxing we went on a Wednesday night and it was very quiet. Many of the food choices were gluten free!! Very celiac friendly. The restaurant manager made plenty of recommendations and was extremely knowledgeable of local ingredients and wine selection

    I'm very mixed on Ratatouille…read more The concept is that the chef traveled a lot and learned different cooking styles and blended them into a French fusion. The techniques are good. I just wish that he spent a little more time working in seasoning foods. None of our food was bad but none of it was standout great. I take that back; the ratatouille Wellington did actually taste good if you don't mind readiness in your ratatouille, which I guess I don't mind but don't prefer. Our server was very into food and did a great job describing the dishes. I was a little put off that he sort of sat/leaned his butt on the table next to us while he did so. It was almost too chilly in the restaurant but bearable. 3 stars: If someone else really wanted to go back, i guess I would, though reluctantly.

I really wish I'd gotten a photo of the little waiting area. They have all these colourful couches and lamps. It's like a little parlour. The spot is just so cozy. I even had to take a picture of the walls where the downstairs washrooms are located. They had gorgeous sunflowers painted all over them. The service is every bit as good as the food. The mimosas are worth it, lots of bubbles (some places really skimp, not Chesterfield's). They have many gluten-free options, which always makes me feel like I can eat like everyone else. I ordered the Bird's Nest Benny. The eggs were the most perfectly poached I've ever had at a restaurant. A side came with the benny, and I got the baked beans. The food was absolutely delicious. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, and maple-lime hollandaise that was to die for. There was so much food. Impossible to walk away hungry. Service was perfect as well. His name wasn't on the receipt, but he treated me like I was just as important as the group diners. No solo diner curse here. Cute spot, very clean, perfect service and food with quality ingredients. I will definitely stop in when I'm in Ottawa again.
