Food to go. Yum. Cooler area up front Seems all scratch made Great on social media too to advise what's coming up on the menu, live music etc Open mic at times! 1 little washroom stall.

Jury is still out on that. Crazy. I know I've also had the chicken enchiladas. Also good. The owner was surprised at how much sauce was served to me in my dish but I did request, extra spicy! They are and will do great here. Recommended!

Even though it's a golf course, staff are not snooty nor pretentious. Actually, the opposite. Relaxed. Very. Not polished nor uptight. Food took awhile on a Tues night. Ordered were... Brussel Sprouts to start. Would pass on these, next time. Too small, too charred. Salmon. Decent. Seafood linguine, decent. Had a sweetness to it, perhaps in the sauce, borrowed from the green curry dish. I had breakfast leftovers. Sidenote... I'd never been here before but the staff and guests had us steer away from the 2 Thai bowl dishes. I'd come back. The wine was good, great atmosphere.. unless trying to find the washroom. The restaurant is a maze!!! Prices were up there but, expected given the location.

My husband and I joined my sister-in-law for dinner at the Amberwood Lounge/Ale House a little…read morewhile ago, before going out to the theatre. The food was acceptable, although I found my vegan bowl rather over-seasoned, but not so much that I couldn't eat it. The real problem was our server; he was loud while serving tables, but I really objected to how he frequently referred to my sister-in-law and me as "dear", but never treated my husband so disrespectfully. When I quietly mentioned to him that not all senior women enjoyed being called dear I was essentially shouted down. I was sitting down at the time, and I didn't appreciate him looming over me, saying loudly that he "didn't know my name" and blustered a non-apology that he was "sorry I was offended" as he turned his back and walked away to another table. Never once did he try to make eye-contact with me, so I assume he really didn't care at all if he was behaving rudely and insulting older, female guests. The Ale House charges much more than a greasy spoon would for their menu items. The behaviour we received from that server doesn't match the ambiance of the restaurant and I definitely won't be returning.

I asked for dry rye toast and that's exactly what I received. In most places, it always comes buttered. The eggs were cooked as I asked - over easy and runny. But, what really took it to the next level were the potatoes. Real potatoes. Not frozen crap but real potatoes with peppers and onions with amazing seasoning. I could have made a meal out of the potatoes. The fruit was a nice touch but those potatoes...oh man. Those potatoes. I should add that the prices are very reasonable.

This place is awesome. To start off, the restaurant is quite big and has lots of seating, so you…read morecan usually come in without a reservation and get seated quickly. The food has always been fantastic, and the portions are always generous (keep that in mind when ordering!) The house potatoes that they have are the best (it's one of the main reasons that I eat brunch here) so definitely order something that comes with a side of potatoes if you can. For the crepes, something to keep in mind is that sometimes the crepe itself can be quite difficult to cut into. For example, we ordered the Crepe & Fruits, and it was so plentiful in fruits that when the crepe was opened it looked like a fruit salad (which unfortunately made it impossible to cut into). The crepe ended up getting cut up very messily, eaten alone and then the fruits eaten alone as well. There's only three options for crepes anyways, so just as a precaution I'd recommend getting a waffle instead (they're just as good but easier to eat!) The pancakes are even better- below is a picture of Carole's Cinna-cakes which is an absolute must have if you're a cinnamon roll fan like me. They were so good, and surprisingly super filling. I'm planning on coming back soon just to grab these again. Definitely an option I'd recommend! In general, though, most of the food items are great, and the nice part is that the menu is packed with different options to choose from, to the point where it might be overwhelming. It took us maybe 20 minutes to fully decide what we wanted to order because there were so many options that sounded delicious (maybe check the menu beforehand if you tend to get overwhelmed when ordering!) The area that this restaurant is in is also really practical. There's a bunch of different food places in the same row (like D-spot, Baton Rouge, etc), a nearby Landmark Cinema, Sportchek, and Centrum Plaza that's walking distance, which is perfect if you're looking to grab brunch with friends and then go for some shopping or walking around the area. All in all, so far all of our visits here have been fantastic, and it's definitely a great place to eat at!

A real diner experience in Stittsville! How had I not been here yet?! My friend got a pizza and swears by it for her family. It was sooo cheesy and too rich/thick for me as I had tried half a slice. But that's me. I had a smoked meat sandwich that was pomped on the menu as piled high... It wasn't but hey... Inflation is real. Fries. Peeled and freshly made. The gravy I got on the side took me back to my youth. Coleslaw was fine. I can't wait to go back and try something else. The menu was big!

The breakfast menu is varied enough to keep it interesting, and the service is good. The staff is friendly. It has been under newer ownership for about the past 2 years, and I only just found out about it recently - through the Stittsville News (boy oh boy do I miss those community newspapers! Shame on them for closing!) It's not a fancy place, with cement floors, but they have art for sale on the walls, which brightens the place up a bit. The pace is cozy and casual and seems to attract many regulars. I would like to get my little group of knitting friends to meet here at least occasionally. Shopping local really works!
