We were wandering around ByWard Market when we decided to grab some lunch. We found this place on…read moreOpenTable. The menu looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived on time for our reservation, and were seated immediately. It looked like a nice place, so was looking forward to my meal. Our host provided the menus and poured our water to start, and said our server would show up shortly. Well, my wife went to go to the washroom, and came back, and our server still hadn't show up. So I'm guessing it took him about 10 minutes to get to us. We tried the following: - Fresh Cut Fries: Ok. I was expecting regular shoesting like fries, but they were more like home fries. They came with ketchup, but not the mentioned aioli. - Bruschetta: Ok. It tasted good, and the bread held up, so no complaints - Tuna Poke Bowl: Ok. Very large size, easily shared by two people. But rather cheap on the tuna portion. Service did not get any better. Food took awhile to get served, and our server didn't check up on us until 20 min later when we were nearly done. He was very nice, but timing was really off. Considering it wasn't very busy in the restaurant, I'm not sure what the problem was. Overall, it didn't really meet expectations. Nice looking place, but food was average, and service was below average. Completely forgettable experience with no reason to return.

LOCAL is a classic favourite!…read more Finally they brought back the street curry (10/10). This appy is crazy delicious with so much flavour, I get it every time I come without fail. The dumplings are divine and have an amazing balance of flavour and texture. The beef tacos are good but pricey for the size, ($14 for three). We also tried the edamame (not pictured) which was great, not spicy as advertised but great flavour either way. Drinks and service are always top tier, haven't had a bad experience yet. Great spot to go before a game at TD place or watch the game there. Great atmosphere for a fun date night or a get together with friends. Even better in the summer when the patio is bumping.

Waitress came over gave us her name and asked ours (nice personal touch). We ordered a beer each and decide to order our Mai's at same time. Place was swamped and there was a line outside to come in. Our waitress (Roni) was kind enough to help with our selections and even offered up some recommendations. She came around 2 times to be sure everything was good The 4 stars are solely for 2 items that were beyond the control of our waitress. First my partner asked for salad instead of fries and requested dressing to be on the side. The salad arrived dressed but not a heavy dressing so it was fine. Secondly , I ordered the veggie burger which was delicious in flavor. The issue was it was not seared off so had texture of mushy beans. Hard to handle in a bun. But very tasty Both complaints are minor but do prevent a 5 star rating.

The Short Version: Chain restaurant with everyday Happy…read moreHour. Food is good for what it is. Friendly service. The Long Version: State and Main is a Canadian chain restaurant that started out in Calgary, AB. I feel it's similar to Moxies. Most items are not made from scratch and the menu while it has creative elements is never all that adventurous. It's a great restaurant for a mixed group. Those meat and potatoes types will find something inoffensive to them, and those with a more adventurous palate won't be too bored. I'm a bit critical of chain restaurants in general because I prefer small independently owned mom and pop shops where everything is made from scratch, and usually with love and passion. My preference is no secret to anyone who knows me. However, I feel that State and Main is one of the better chains. I went to State and Main with 2 of my friends for a late lunch that coincided with their Happy Hour. Their Happy Hour is 2-5pm and 9pm to close, 7 days a week. Their Happy Hour is not that much of a deal though as you only save $1.50-$3 off the regular menu prices, depending on the item. It's not like those half-price Happy Hours. I started with a State Soda (HH $6, regularly $8). I enjoyed it because it wasn't too sweet. It was vodka, club soda and a tiny bit of their signature "slush." I was going to get their soup dumplings, but cannot have sesame seeds and was advised that the packaging on the dumplings said "contains sesame" so I opted to get the Baja Brussels Sprouts instead. I asked for them to go light on the sauce, as I don't like my food too saucy and our lovely server, Dakota, suggested that I get the sauce on the side. Which was a fantastic idea! I also got a side portion of their mixed greens salad with the dressing on the side ($5.50). The Brussels sprouts were very good. They were crispy on the outside and had powdered Parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. There was also bacon and roasted red peppers pieces in the dish. The lime and cilantro sauce that came on the side was almost not really needed because the Brussels sprouts tasted good as is. I did try a bit of the sauce and it was pleasant. I would get the Brussels sprouts again. The mixed greens salad was better than I expected. It was a true mixed greens salad and not just romaine lettuce or the dreaded (well, I dread it because it's cheapie filler IMO) iceberg lettuce (it actually had no iceberg lettuce, yahoo!). It also had beets, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and roasted chickpeas. Nothing too wild, but a bit more oomph than your run-of-the-mill garden salad. A few of the romaine spines were browning, but otherwise the other ingredients were fresh. I enjoyed the dijon vinaigrette and am happy I got it on the side because I used less than half of it. One friend got the State Smash cocktail ($10 HH menu, regularly $12) and she enjoyed the raspberry flavour. She also got the Chili Coconut Calamari ($16 HH menu, regularly $18.50). She wasn't as happy with her meal as found it a bit too spicy and found the calamari not large or plump enough. Visually the calamari did look rather small and not meaty. My other friend got the Baja Tacos with fries from their regular menu ($19). She really enjoyed her meal and the tacos looked great. The fish was battered and deep-fried. The fries were thicker cut but looked to be slightly battered or at least seasoned, and very crispy. We had a lovely time and our server, Dakota, was friendly and helpful. There was a slight error in our bills as the Happy Hour foods were charged at regular prices, but when I pointed this out, it was quickly fixed. The decor I would describe as "casual plus." It's a bit more elevated than casual. They have fun framed prints on the walls. It has a pub feel. The restaurant is in the Gloucester Centre complex. It's not part of the actual mall though. Lots of free parking available in the shopping complex parking lot. #72 (2026)

The tuna tartar was so fresh and the mango salsa added that additional depth of flavor with that tropical sweetness. The mushroom chicken was equally delicious. The two tender chicken breast rested on a bed of mash potatoes with a side of mixed vegetables. The meal worked especially with the brown-gravy/sauce tieing everything togther. To end the meal, nothing like an Espresso Martini. Perfect end cap for the evening. I am glad I finally came in and I look forward to my next visit. Bon Apetit!

Long overdue for an updated review. The burgers haven't changed much but the cafeteria style fries…read morewe were served today really bring this place down. It even says "fresh cut fries" on the order ticket. Also we were mailed a flyer that promised a free tower of rings with our first online order, but upon pickup there was none given (even though we created an account as instructed). When asked the server claimed to not know about the promotion and no manager was present. Shame because it would have made up for the frozen fries. This is the second time we were denied a promotion as it happened a few years ago. Now I know why it's been a while.

New management, new staff, way, way better now! Give it a try!…read more It had been 2 years since we last went to the Fallowfield location because it was such a hot mess with their management and products. We've been driving from Barrhaven out to Stittsville just to avoid Fallowfield. We decided to give it another try after hearing there was new management. I have to say that the 3 of us agreed that our burgers were probably the best we've ever had at The Works, anywhere. We had Gettin' Piggy With It, 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, and the 3-Ring Binder. Service was fantastic. Food was awesome. Abbey (hope I spelled that right) was super friendly and helpful. Keep it up Fallowfield and we'll keep coming back!

Service was a bit slow to get drinks, and there were no water refills, and it was a slow start to place our orders. Some of our plates did sit at the table before they were taken away for quiet sometime. Our waitress was friendly and did not rush us out of the restaurant. Whenever we asked for something she brought it. The restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms (minus the obscene writing on the bathroom stalls from guests), I guess we can call that bathroom charm.? lol. I did read prior reviews and was not looking forward to the visit here, but the vibe was really good. I love how they had massive TV's all around the restaurant playing sports. Everyone was having a great time. The food was just basic though. The hubs had the wings and said they were OK. I had the nachos and could make better at home. The flatbread was decent. Everyone else at the table ordered burgers and fries, and the portions were pretty small. The quality of the food justifies the menu price they are charging, and I don't think the 3% honest to goodness tax should be charged. The prices are almost on par with other food establishment (think montanas, east side marios), that I do think they should just get rid of that extra "tax" I mean 15 bucks for a plate of basic nachos aint cheap. And as I mentioned, the portions are not massive. I wouldn't come back for the food, but I can recommend checking it out if you enjoy some cheap beer and a cool place to watch sports.

My favourite at breakfast is usually the wrap with a side breakfast poutine - which is their home fries with shredded cheese and hollandaise sauce. It is wonderful. For dinner I love their buffalo chicken wrap. Simple pub food but done well. You can't ask for more than that. They often have specials going on for drinks and have a full bar so you can get whatever you want. It is a great local spot - any of the Broadways are.

My daughter turned 18, and where's a better place to celebrate than Restaurant E18hteen…read more I booked a table a week before to make sure we have a table. Thankfully, there were 2 spots left. The place is very elegant inside out. The service was perfect, music was very classic, food was delicious. An amazing fine dining experience on every level. I felt that their menu is limited. We ordered the following: Grilled Octopus with mint chermoula, roasted chickpeas, 'nduja aiolo, blistered tomatoes & chicory. The Octopus was cooked to perfection & the flavors were amazing. Vol au vent d'escargot Puff pastry stuffed with braised escargot l, goat cheese crumbled, spinach, Parmigiano & mizuna My daughter loves escargot & she enjoyed it very much. Halibut with shrimp & Octopus escabeche, shishito peppers, stewed lentils, butter braised asparagus, garlic parsley oil, cilantro mojo & watercress. It was so good, each component was delicious, when you eat them together it was heaven. Two, 7 oz angus reserve tenderloin it comes with two sides, and a sauce. We had one with mashed & mushroom, the second fries & Ceasars salad. Both steaks were a perfect meduim rare! Mushrooms & Ceasars salad were so good. The mashed lacked seasoning & the fries were too salty. For dessert, they celebrated my daughter with a complimentary pavalova which I thought was so sweet! It was a wonderful surprise. We also ordered pistachio chocolate and it was OMG! The perfect ending.

What a disappointment last night. We clearly informed the restaurant about my wife's gluten and…read moredairy allergies. As well we indicated that subbing cow cheese with goat cheese would be great. Upon arrival our waitress told us she had read the notes and was aware. Much to our surprise, they served her a beet salad....with cow cheese!! Later that evening she became ill as a result. But that wasn't the worst of it. We waited 1 hr and 15 minutes for our main meals. Leading up to that moment they also forgot to serve her gluten free bread, which was store bought and like cardboard. That was 20 minutes after I had finished mine. At this point we had had enough of this atrocious experience. Rather than wait longer, we spoke with both the waitress and maitre'd and asked for our bill. They both lied and told us it would be ready in 2 minutes. Ten minutes later, they showed up with it as we were in the process of leaving and had our coats on. We agreed to sit back down and try the mains. My wife had a sablefish meal that was flavourless and not fresh to say the least. I had a lobster tail meal whereby the lobster was watery and not fresh. Needless to say 1 bite of each meal and the coats were back on and we were settling our reduced bill and leaving. What a disappointment for our special Valentines outing. Never will we go back, and I advise people to do the same.
