    Stopped here for breakfast recently. It was our first visit. Staff was friendly and attentive. Had a veggie omelette, hash browns and wheat toast. Although presentation showed yummy and a nice size portion. Dish turned out to be misleading. Omelette was a tad bit scorched and bland. Hash browns and wheat toast was cold. Thankful that tobasco sauce was on the table waiting. Friends had breakfast bowls and had no real comment. We do plan to go back. Perhaps experience will be better.

    Went with my Brother, his son and my children. Wanted to have a good home cooked meal. Look no further, HiWay Restaurant. As soon as we walked in, the hostess asked us how many? I told her six, she asked for a few seconds to prep our table. I told her take a few more. We were seated almost immediately. Our Waitress ( I didn't catch her name), handed out our menus and asked if we wanted any drinks along with the water, which she was going to bring out to us shortly; we ordered 3 coffees, 2 unsweetened iced teas and 1 diet soda. She came back which we reviewed the menu and were impressed with all the tasty options. We ordered the following: 2 Hot Turkey, mashed potatoes covered in gravy, a side of cream of Chicken Soup with Rice. One BLT deluxe meal sans tomato's. 2 Travelers Hamburgers with Fries. 1 Taco Salad. Portions were not light and a few of us asked for doggie bags. We had no room for dessert! Ambiance had a warm comfortable feel. Looking forward to stopping by again when we're in Ottawa. Cheers, Mangia & Nazdrowie!

    Beware! This establishment charges a fee when you pay with a credit card! My guest and I ordered the chicken noodle soup and they were good. I ordered the veal open faced sandwich and it was good. My guest ordered a patty melt and it was ok. If you are looking to step back in time and experience a vintage dinner this is your place.

    Happy anniversary at the restaurant

    See all

    I was really excited to check this place out after seeing their cocktail menu online, and in some…read moreways it definitely lived up to the hype. The drinks were excellent--well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with skill. There was also a live musician performing during my visit who was amazing and added a great atmosphere and really elevated the overall vibe. Service, however, was a mixed experience. One of the bartenders (a newer female bartender) was very friendly, attentive, and showed a lot of potential--she made a great impression despite seeming a bit new. Unfortunately, the other bartender completely brought the experience down. He came across as rude, disengaged, and honestly like he didn't want to be there at all. I understand it was a busy night, but there was very little sense of urgency from him, and wait times felt longer than they should have been--even factoring in the crowd. That said, I do understand everyone can have an off night, and given how good the drinks and atmosphere were (plus the positive reviews I've seen elsewhere), I'd likely be willing to give it another shot. Overall, great cocktails and ambiance, but inconsistent service keeps it from being a top-tier experience--for now. I will be happy to update following a repeat visit.

    An absolutely excellent Italian experience, Valentino's impressed on every level. Fantastic food,…read moregreat value for the portions, highly engaged service staff, and a boldness of flavors above expectations. Our table had a host of appetizers including the Meatball Ricotta, Shrimp Oreganata, Fried Provolone, and Calamari. The meatball was absolutely enormous (enough for four to share easily), and was very well balanced by the sauce and creamy ricotta it was served upon. My personal favorite was the calamari though, which was a combination of the rings and tentacles perfectly salted and fried until delightfully crispy. Don'f forget to dunk those in the sauce they provided! For entrees, I tried a little bit of the dry aged pork chop (super smoky, immaculately tender, and subtly sweet), but the chicken piccata, was the star of the show for me. Refreshingly bright from the lemon, salty capers, and marinated artichokes, the dish was savory and refreshing when paired with the crispy fried potatoes. So good, and I think the best chicken piccata I've ever had! The tiramisu and lemoncello cake were big hits at the table, but the creme brûlée was so simple yet perfectly sweet and smooth that it would definitely be my go-to choice next time. You truly cannot go wrong at this place, and would certainly make an excellent date or celebration location that I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

    New Italian restaurant in Ottawa in the 100 block of W Main Street…read more Reservations are two days in advance but the walk up on a Saturday was about a 45 (and that's a long estimate) minute wait at the great bar !! Started off with some great draft beers $5 for a Yungling pint and an $18 bourbon flight that my husband raved about. After a bit of a wait but with drinks !! We got a table and since we had looked at the menu at the bar we were ready to order. (You could order food at the bar too we just chose not to as we were in no rush) We got a loaf of fresh bread that came with olive oil for dipping that had some chili flakes in it that gave it a bit of a zing. (My only thing is that it would have been nice to have some Parmesan to shake into it to give it a bit of body beyond just oil). But all in all it was yummy. Onto our main courses. I got the shrimp and calamari Diablo. And yes. It's hot. Spicy and also temperature from the kitchen. But the flavor was amazing and it was full of calamari rings and the little tentacles and some really good sized shrimps too and the linguini was so good. The sauce you could tell was fresh and full of tomato chunks. The husband got chicken shrimp and sausage carbonara. Again full of flavor and meat and peas and delicious pasta. Oh and dessert was two home made cannoli with the pistachios on the ends and the best not too sweet cream inside. For our two meals and two glasses of house red blend ($5 each) it was 80.00. It was plenty of food to make two fat kids very happy. The servers were very nice. The bartenders were friendly as they were super hopping. All in all we will Be back to try more dishes as they all looked great coming out of the kitchen. This is a great date night spot and something new and different than your normal burger, pizza or bar food kinda place. Try it. You will want to come back !!!
