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.

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.

I am writing this review four years after my experience as it's still upsets me to this day when I…read morethink about my dream wedding. We had booked Lago to have our dream wedding, 200 people for the beginning of August of 2020. as you can recall the pandemic hit in March of that year. We had signed a contract that required a $500 deposit to which we paid and were planning our wedding. We had been in contact with the venue once the pandemic hit. About a month prior to our wedding date we were given the option to cancel and pay a $3500 fee or to keep the date for the beginning of August not knowing the state of the country or the world at this point keep in mind borders were still closed, and the restrictions were 10 people gathering. They offered us to postpone to 2021. (Restrictions still applied). We asked if there was anyway we could cancel our wedding and walk away from our $500 deposit to which they said that they would need us to pay the $3500 or they would take us to court. This was just one of our wedding vendors that were gouging us for money. Our photographer was doing the same thing to us as well as our florist. With little money and a fear for the unknown of what the world would be like and what restrictions would look like in a few weeks or even a year, as well as having many guests from overseas, we decided we had no choice but to pay the $3,500 to avoid the restaurant taking us to court as to what we believed. Gynea dropped the price to $2,500 including our deposit and said she was "doing us a favour". Once again, I would like to reiterate that in the contract there was a $500 deposit and nothing was mentioned about $3,500. I still have the contract to this date which also has a clause in it that states force majeure, and that you were allowed to cancel the contract if there was an "act of God". I don't know about you, but I think COVID was the biggest act of God that we have experienced in Ottawa in a long time. Keep in mind that the restaurant was able to fill our date as well and make money even after our $2,500 was paid. It is very unfortunate as my husband and I used to love going to Lago bar and Grill as well as the umbrella bar. It was our favourite spot. We now avoid it because of how we were treated. We didn't even have a dinner tasting and paid the restaurant $2,500 in fear of being taken to court. I still wish to this day that would make it right for us and I'm saddened at how we were treated. I would love for them to somehow make it right.

Being a newcomer to Ottawa, my husband and I went into a few places on a Wednesday night to get to…read moreknow the area. When we went into 10Fourteen, the first thing I said was, "this is exactly how I would design a bar if I had one." The small venue was decorated in browns, grays, blacks and whites, with chalkboards, bubble lights, chunky mirrors, painted quotes on canvas ("Love is all you need" and others in that vein) and other funky, classy decor. It's a small place, with a long, two-piece bar, a few booths, a couple tables and a small lounge area. At 8PM on a Wednesday, there were a few other couples in there, and what looked like a larger group sitting on the couch in the "lounge." Everyone was middle aged or younger. Our helpful bartender immediately greeted us with a martini glass filled with delicious truffle, cinnamon popcorn. I ordered a Slap and Tickle, despite it being what seemed like a more wine-focused bar -- and only three beers on tap. The drink (gin, cucumber juice) was refreshing, but not strong at all. And maybe these stingy pours are just something I have to get used to up here in Canada, but there was 1 ounce of alcohol in the whole drink, despite it being served in a highball glass. Despite both of us ordering drinks, we were not given water, which is a bit of a bartender pet peeve of mine. The chalkboard menu is really hard to follow. An item example: "Glass of bacon/jack/lime/coke." Not exactly sure what that meant, but we saw "BACON" so we asked and ordered it. It was really, really good. Jack Daniels and Coke rubbed bacon (five pieces for $5), baked and served in a martini glass with a lime. Totally cool and funky (and yummy!) but wish the menu were more easily decipherable. Things were a little chaotic behind the bar, which totally contrasted with the more relaxed vibe intended at the bar. There seemed to be no POS system and the kitchen was right behind the bar with the bartenders. I'm talking people pulling food out of refrigerators, prepping it, microwaving -- the whole deal. The bright lights from the open refrigerator door made it all together too bright in the bar, killing the mood lighting, and it seemed nonsensical to set it up that way. I'm all for open-view kitchens, but maybe not as restricted as that, and not right with the bartenders trying to make drinks. All in all, I really liked the place. Cool vibe, good stuff on the menu (when you are told what it is), and really nice and helpful staff. I just wish they could live up to the potential a bit more. I'll definitely go back and adjust my rating accordingly.
