Then they seem to have crammed what takes up multiple wine aisles at larger locations along two walls in this one. The cue is also a rather tight squeeze so you sometimes have to wait for a customer at a till closer to the door to finish up before you can leave as well which can get awkward at times.

This has been my go to LCBO for awesome booze selection since my time in Ottawa dating back to…read more2004. Now I only frequent when in town to stock up on some delicious wines from the vintage selection in the basement and watch in semi-amazement on how quick you can rack up a bill here! Only downside and I'll mention it now is that the homeless people tend to beg outside or on the odd occasion get caught stealing here. One my most recent visit they had a security guard positioned right at the entrance. Probably a good idea they have probably had a steady stream of issues. No disadvantaged people this visit. It's unfortunate that they have this issue but not everyone can handle booze well! The Vintages selection is seriously divine. I usually can spend around an hour here browsing and perusing the aisles to see what's new and what's recommended by the staff. They do have many vintage staples and an ever evolving selection. On my visit they did have some tastings and some mini pulled pork sandwiches. It was a nice snack while I was wandering around! I washed it down with a sample of Trius Red. Very nice contrasting flavours. What the LCBO and this location does amazingly better than my provincial SAQ is have a better selection of wines under $15. You can find hundreds of wines in the $13 or less amount. There is also a decent selection of wines under $10! You can find some decent tasting ones at this price also! SAQ needs to stop being so greedy! Also the LCBO has and does a fantastic job of promoting Ontario wineries! I'll keep coming back if the selection stays fantastic!

This store carries almost everything the other stores in town do. If I can't find something at this store, the one in the south end usually has it. Between these 2 stores I can find most things that I want. The staff is actually amazing in this store. I recently went in to get some liquer from Columbia. I tried to explain the name to the person working the counter who was in the middle of helping someone else (he asked if he could help and I told him to finish helping his current customer but he said it would take awhile) when he told me how how down I wanted to walk and what the bottle looked like! I followed his directions to find exactly what I wanted!

The wait staff worked as a team and we really didn't see "our waiter" much but had a group of people who'd come by to check on us.

Went here with a big group…read more Food was surprisingly good. Given the location I was expecting Taurus Trapp type quality. It wasn't that. I ordered the ribs and wings and asked for an extra bit of brisket. The ribs were thick and juicy. They also had a good bite and were not fall off the bone, which is what I prefer. They could've had a little more sauce though. The wings were OK. They were a medium size and the honey garlic sauce that I got was average. The brisket was not good. It was dry. Extra Caesar salad for three dollars wasn't worth it. It was OK but not three dollars worth of stuff. Staff took a long time to get her order. We had a group of 16 and we were only assigned one person. She took quite a while to get our things and that was a little annoying.
