Reviews for The Albion Rooms - Craft Cocktails & Farm to Table Food in Ottawa, ON

I am disappointed to write a negative review - I was so looking forward to dining at the Albion Rooms for a special occasion... with a group of 10 friends. We had made reservations well in advance and called the day of to confirm.. When we arrived we wereseated at two separate tables and told multiple times that we could not push other (empty) tables together in order to sittogether. This was contrary to what I was told at the time of my booking, not to mention there was a table for ten set up andempty (I wonder if that was our reserved table..), and the rest of the floor was largely empty for the duration of our timethere. This really impacted our enjoyment of the night. Finally after an hour the waitress changed her mind and allowed us topush tables together. The other table for ten remained empty the whole night. Not only were the two waitresses unaccommodatingbut they were unfriendly and made us feel uncomfortable, as if we were being unreasonable asking for our group booking to beseated together as we had been assured would happen at the time of booking and upon confirming the day of over the phone. . Theservice was slow, the food was average (nice presentation but very salty, tiny portions of meat for the cost - the lamblinguine had barely a speck of lamb in it!) We also had one member of our party have to try and order four different drinks onthe menu before finding one that was actually in stock - and the waitress seemed totally unapologetic that so many menu itemswere unavailable. All in all I would not recommend this restaurant unfortunately, based on service and food. Read more

Really enjoyed our visit. The gin and tonics were really lovely, and lots of interesting choices for the charcuterie (grey owl,... wild boar, etc.). A relaxed atmosphere. Read more

Quiet night at The Albion Rooms (Tuesday evening). Service was efficient and friendly. Perfect setting for a small group... gathering. Nice cocktails and tasty food. We greatly enjoyed the small plates options, it allowed us to sample and share severaloptions from the menu. The duck wings were definitely a favorite of the table, the gnudi were light and pillowy while the veggiebowl was blend. Overall very pleasant evening. Read more

Nice dinner before Pearl Jam, boar rillette, ricotta gnocchi, asparagus bearnaise and duck poutine. They make very good... cocktails and the ambiance is always nice. Our 3rd or 4th time there, never disappoints. Read more

My husband and I were overnight guests at your hotel, for our 50th Wedding Anniversary, a gift from our son and daughter and... their families. The food was excellent. If I might add one comment, I have early onset Vascular Dementia and if I had notbeen with my husband I would have had trouble locating the dining room where we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast. So if I might, Iwas wondering if the signage, especially from the lobby toward the breakfast room might be enhanced. If there was a sign on thewall telling us the direction of the breakfast room, we did not see it. The bed was very comfortable, the duvet on the bed wasperfect and the complimentary room snacks were greatly appreciated. We realize they were provided by our son and daughterhowever, they were an enjoyed bit of refreshment. Thanks You. We have your business card and will recommend your Hotel toanyone we encounter who is looking to visit and stay in Ottawa. The only drawback was the individual who chose to race his/hervery load motorcycle or sports car up and down the street under our bedroom window at 3AM. I am afraid to say, if I had had abaseball bat with me I would have been down the elevator, out the hotel door, standing on the sidewalk the next time he passedand we would have gotten it! I'm Irish, nobody messes with the Irish! My husband is Dutch, with a much more subduedpersonality. Read more
