The waitress took 40 minutes before she came to our table to even take a drink order when we realized how long things were taking, we decided to give our food order as well. It took an hour and 20 minutes before our food even came to us with us not having a visit from our waitress. We actually had to walk to the bar to try to order our own drinks and We had asked her if she can give us an ETA for our food, she said she would. She never came back when our food finally arrived an hour and 20 minutes or an hour and 30 minutes later it was cold. We said we were not happy about it and then the bartender came over to tell us how displeased he was because we were questioning the food and questioned our tone. All we did was ask when our food was gonna be ready. We were just looking for an ETA. We had told her if the food took any longer that we would rather not have the food. Our bill was $170. We paid it and of course they waited till we paid it to come and tell us that they didn't like the tone that we had we didn't have a tone we asked for an ETA. All we needed to know is how long our food was gonna be and we said to her if it was gonna be after waiting an hour and 20 minutes if it was gonna be another 15 2030 minutes that we no longer wanted the food that all we needed to be told that you know if they can't bring the food if it's busy or if there's an issue, we would just have our drinks and leave. Not a good experience. I will never go back there and I will never recommend it to anyone. The service was horrible. The food was cold and horrible and that's it. They don't need to deserve a one star. If I could give a zero star, that's what I would do. The staff were rude.

I called and asked to get some fries. The amazing woman who took my order (the manager?) said that they would be willing to give me another order as long as I picked it up. A few minutes later I had received a call from my partner to come pick them up as she the vehicle had an issue. I had to leave so I called the restaurant back to cancel. They said they would personally deliver my meal. Wow! This restaurant goes way above and beyond. Unlike a vast majority of restaurants in Ottawa, they actually care! As long as I live in Barrhaven, they have me as a loyal and supportive customer!

We ordered her fries to try and make her happy, which took 20 minutes..YIKES! If you are looking to grab a bite to eat while bowling, make sure you order your food at the beginning. Bonus is the food is brought to you, so you can bowl while you wait. Fries were standard, and thick cut and is salted with some type of fry salt. It did the trick while hungry. There are a couple arcade games on site, but not many. I do not know the correct bowling terms, but sections are shared between two "parties," so you are sharing the balls and seating area with another group, if the lane next to you gets booked. Big star down for that. Front desk is friendly. Bowling shoes are comfy. Not sure if it is wheelchair/stroller accessible though. I did not see a ramp to get down the lanes, so I had to carry my stroller down a couple steps. They have rock and bowl here too, so I'd like to come back and check that out.

The Short Version: Casino in Gatineau. Attached to a Hilton…read moreHotel and has 2 restaurants: Arome the fancier and more expensive one and Banco, the casual and less expensive one. The Long Version: My first visit to this casino was before I moved to Ottawa. I was living in Montreal and visiting a friend who was doing his co-op placement in Ottawa. He was playing tour guide and showing me around the NCR and the casino was on his list. We walked around and I played some slot machines. My friend played some roulette. Neither of us won any money :( But we did get some free coffee and soft drinks at the self-serve dispensers, haha. I'm not a huge gambler, so even after I moved to Ottawa, I did not return, until recently. And my reason for returning was actually to eat at Arome, one of their restaurants, with my husband. Since we were already there, I figured why not experience the casino a bit after dinner? My husband and I walked around. My husband played some slot machines, a fish-themed one and a buffalo-themed one. He won a small amount. Most people would likely have kept on playing, lol, but we like to quit while we're ahead, haha. The casino was clean and did not smell bad (like the Shorelines Casino at Thousand Islands did the last time I was there). There's also a theatre at the Casino where you can see shows. I'm not really into casinos, but for those who are, I think the Lac-Leamy Casino is pretty good in terms of aesthetics and amenities. They have lots of free parking. Review #21 (2026)
