I sat near the bar, then you go up and order. After grabbing myself a flight, I saw that they had a vegan sandwich -- one with jackfruit and vegan cheese, served with a side salad for $12 plus tax. The beer was solid, and the food was decent, but for $12 I expect more than a tiny sandwich served on an English muffin with a no frills side salad. Tasty enough, but pretty underwhelming and indicative that they weren't trying very hard -- maybe it's just the vegan option? I wouldn't eat here again, but the beer was good and worth visiting for that.

The gnocchi was a bit over done. There were parts when it felt hard and overcooked. The poutine was satisfactory. Do not expect a gourmet meal because it does feel a bit of a cafeteria feel to it. One positive point is the coffee. They brewed it just right.

The restaurant at the Museum of Civilization used to be the Café du Musée. It was in one of the…read moreadministrative buildings and had a beautiful view of the river. Trouble was, nobody found their way there. It was like the private dining room for museum administrators. Now they have moved into the main building - beside the coffee shop with a patio on Laurier and re-branded as Café du Musée. First off, I would never have thought of this place without Ottawa's real food expert, Anne de Brisay. Check out her http://www.capitaldining.ca/ blog. We went for a 'dress-up' lunch on a beautiful summer day. I called ahead but it was not necessary. The place was not exactly swamped. Service was excellent. A very attentive young man who knew the menu well (in English and French) and made some excellent wine recommendations. The interior is evocative of the stone/steel/undulating riverbanks as walls theme that the rest of the museum enjoys. It worked. Nice, modern clean lines. It didn't feel like you were eating at the family snack bar, even though the Imax theatre was 50 yards away. The menu could be called scaled-down fine dining (?) Farm to table, local ingredients, extremely well prepared by a chef of some skill (formerly of Cafe Henry Burger, I understand). Bread was excellent - a couple of different kinds - one was a dried cranberry thingy (a bit sweet for me), the other was a whole wheat with just a hint of molasses. I tried the cauliflower and oka cheese soup. Delightful and creamy. Great balance of flavours. Oka (for foreign readers) is Canada's version stinky but good-tasting local cheese. Instead of a large main course, I had the east coast crab cake. it was a good sized cake of smoked salmon and shrimp on a puree of celeriac. Very nice and just right for lunch. My husband had the arugula, goat cheese, and cranberry salad. Three ingredients, very tasty. His main was the bison with chanterelles and fingerling potatoes. I tried a bit and it seemed nice but I am not a bison fan. Good espresso and crème brulée trio to finish. Best of the trio was the chocolate, though being chocolate probably violates some crème brulée code. Would definitely go back when feeling spendy.

I love the interior look of the place and the washrooms are clean. Parking is really tight. I had a salad my first time here, a summer salad that I regretted ordering. I barely touched it and it was pricey without protein. Live and learn. I come here for the amazing company I keep, patio sun and always stick to 1 flight per visit. I love a brewery vibe although I prefer wine. ;) I have friends that love beer so, give and take. More beer choices and friendlier service would give this a 5 star rating. I'm not sure there is anything they could do re the parking situation. Nor the fact that they face busy Robertson Rd. Of course I'll be back!

We were seated quickly and were served quickly with drinks and a yummy appetizer of spinach dip. We then ordered our mains. Instead of Salmon we received Calamari. The waiter was adamant she heard Salmon. She did not do the normal of repeating back to us what we ordered. We then waited the best part of an hour for our mains to arrive. Which were OK. It is a pity this nice looking restaurant and tasty menu has a valid reputation of inconsistent service. We hope they can fix it so that their business will improve.
