This place…read morehas a great indoor space and outdoor space, and on a hot day it was nice to be inside for a bit. Looks like they probably do some concerts since they have a nice stage set up in the back. Servers were really friendly getting us situated with our daughter and the wagon we use to transport her around. Very family friendly as we saw several other parents with strollers as well. Nice menu and a lot of good beer options. Opted to try their radler and it was delicious, before I remembered I'm not supposed to have grapefruit. The waitress was quick to get me a replacement Guinness. The food came out pretty quick. My wife got the Tuna Poke Wonton, which came out deconstructed I guess... actually ended up working out pretty well. It was quite good, but the poke wasn't nearly as fresh as what we are used to in California. My chicken burger was delicious, the cranberry and brie on it made me feel like thanksgiving. It was really hearty and heavy for a chicken burger, but worth it! The highlight might be the kids menu though. The kids can pick from 4 items Poutine, Fish & Chips, Burger & Fries, or Mac n Cheese. But, it comes with a drink and dessert. Clearly our daughter was on cloud 9 getting chocolate milk and ice cream included in her meal. Her poutine was quite good too, not too salty, nice gravy flavor and melty curds. If you're in the area this is a great stop for food or drinks or both.

It felt as though the staff had a hard time being attentive to the demand. I did appreciate the glasses customized to the Cheshire Cat, as well as the ambiance. I would've appreciated going on a quieter evening, if that exists.

Lunch yesterday--my wife n' I visited for the first time--celebrating my birthday. Work colleagues had raved about the good food and service at The Cheshire Cat Pub. Our visit absolutely confirmed their perceptions--wow!!! Based on our experience we'll add an additional x15+++ to their 'rave' sentiments. A dedicated a top notch team effort from reservation, meal and final wrap up! The food, venue, the entire Cheshire Cat Pub Team working in unison made for an outstanding birthday celebration experience! We started our lunch with amber beer on tap, followed by Hot Beef & Yorkie, 2 piece FIsh n' Chips and Sticky Toffee Pudding & tea. To the The Cheshire Cat Pub...your teamwork and dedication to excellance is commendable. Kudos to all of you.

Grill Master is a little diner tucked away in an industrial park on Colonnade. I had lunch there…read moreand it was really good for what it was. It's actually quite large compared to most eateries in industrial parks which are usually mostly for takeout. There is a lot of seating and if you eat in they use real china and cutlery, which I like. I got the soup and sandwich special ($8.25). They had 3 soups of the day and I chose the beef, chicken and barley. For my sandwich I chose oven roasted turkey on white (bread options included whole wheat and rye as well). I got my bread toasted, and had lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and mustard on it. I was over the moon that I had the option of real turkey instead of deli meat turkey. The sandwich was very tasty. I mean it was something that I can assemble myself at home, but really only after Thanksgiving or Christmas, because I don't usually have turkey leftovers at home, lol. The soup was unique though. It definitely tasted homemade. It had chicken, beef, mushrooms, barley, onions, and a bunch of different root vegetables. I enjoyed it a lot. I particularly liked that it was so thermodynamically hot! I love my soups super hot. It stayed hot until my last spoonful. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were patient and listed off all my sandwich options while I decided what I wanted. They seemed to all get along too, which was nice to see. It's cafeteria style there. You order at the counter, they pass you your food, then you pay the cashier, and seat yourself with your food wherever you want. They have daily specials written on the board. I think they always have fish and chips on Fridays, and I think that Chicken Noodle Soup is always a soup option. Prices are quite reasonable. The specials are $10.95 or less. There is free parking in the attached lot. They're only open 8am-2pm on weekdays and are closed on weekends, so I think this kind of limits their potential customer pool. However, if you are in the area during their opening hours and want some food, they are worth checking out.

Off we went to Jonny Canucks since it was next door and the kids were starving and it was getting pretty late. I wish I looked at the menu beforehand because the adult meals were uninspiring if you have certain diet restrictions or trying to eat healthier. Not a whole lot for vegetarians unless you want some typical fried pub food/spinach dip. Typical Sysco chain pub food to be honest. The kids meal deal for 8.99 (drink, meal, dessert) drew a lot of families in that evening. That was good value. Service was friendly and to the point. I think our waiter was overworked and had too many tables to tend with. There was no check ins to make sure our food was good, but he did bring pop refills. No water refills and was forgetful at some of our requests. Again, I think the waiter had too much on his plate and was overworked. I do think this restaurant gets the pool over of clients trying to dine at Hunters Public House. We witnessed groups ahead of us trying to get seats at Hunters, who ended up over at Jonny Canucks. (Just an observation) Anyways on to the food. Hubby got the french onion soup, which I stole most of. It was the highlight of our meal. He also got chicken stir fry which he said he enjoyed. I got the cod fish tacos, which were small, uninspiring and something I could make at home. Kids got the pogo and chicken fingers which they enjoyed. Maybe a good place for cheap beers with friends to watch some sports? Other than that I cannot recommend to come here based on the food.

Our server Lisa, was amazing and very attentive. We were lucky enough that it was a beautiful, sunny day and we sat out on the patio. The menu was interesting with a lot of choice and the drink specials were on until 2pm. I had my first Caesar in years. It was ok, a bit weak. I am very detail oriented and would have liked more garnish. We got a croissant sandwich, fries, zucchini sticks, a wrap... no complaints about the food at all. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Casual dining with sailing members wondering in and out. It's a great spot to eat and chat. The view from the restaurant deck is fabulous as it overlooks the dock area which is filled with sailboats. Accessible with an elevator and minimally fitted out accessible washroom stall. Note that in the summer, Friday nights are restricted to NSC members only - but it's accessible to the public the rest of the week. Check the hours before heading over as they change with the season. Another thing to be aware of - the racers take over starting around 8:30p on racing nights, so try to get ahead of them if you want a seat outdoors. Would I recommend? Yes Would I return? Yes

My in-laws saw The Old Mill at Ashton Pub on a local TV show and wanted to try it, so the four of…read moreus went. It is a bit of a trek from Ottawa proper. The decor is very British pub-like (lots of British memorabilia). Charming if you like that kind of stuff. I had the Salmon Boxty ($14.99). I thought that salmon, cream sauce and sun-dried tomatoes sounded like an interesting combination. The combination tasted not so much interesting, but rather odd. It was edible but I would not order it again. The Boxty came with a salad which was ok. Others at the table had the Steak and Kidney Pie, Ashton Chicken and the Grilled Salmon Dinner. They liked their meals better than I liked mine. I did notice on the menu that they had Rarebit. I love Welsh Rarebit and I rarely (haha, pun intended) see this on the menu anywhere in Ottawa. I regret not ordering it while I was there. Service was competent. It looks like they have lots of regulars. Servers seemed more friendly with the regulars than us non-locals. I am not a beer drinker so the fact that this is a brew pub makes no difference to me, but my husband enjoyed trying their beer. I think this would be a good place to go if you live in Ashton or happen to be driving through. I personally would not make a special trip to go back though.

Not an overabundance of wait-staff in this place. On the down-side: it was so busy in here! Such a popular place, even on a Wednesday evening - full to the rafters! You couldn't hear yourself think! And it was so H O T in there! The flies were having a party! On the up-side: our group of about 15 people was part of the problem: loud, and hungry and thirsty! Even better: they have started selling little brown jugs of their home brew. Yeah!!! We'll definitely be back.
