Reviews for Westboro Barley Mow in Ottawa, ON
Sadly disappointing. First time going to this Barley Mow - from a dirty table that we had to ask twice to get a wipe down to... getting a beef burger when we ordered a chicken and having not even so much as a soft sorry when we let them know and thengetting charged for it when we didn?t order it and a few other things but I don?t want to ramble. Never experienced this inOttawa. Such a bummer because the roof top patio was beautiful. Read more
This was a great stop for a mid day drink and a light snack. We had the vegetarian nachos or Mow-Chos as they are called on the... menu. They were great and the beers we had, both from 1000 island brewery were great as well. Read more
I highly recommend a brunch on their rooftop patio. Lots of classic brunch and other pub fares on the menu. And some breakfast... cocktails too. The sprinkler system at the top of the fence helps keep you cool on a hot day. The server was lots of fun too.Joking and laughing along with our group! Read more
There are a lot of things to like about the Barley Mow, especially this location: the rooftop patio is fun. Selection of beer is... great, and the food is often a step above what you find in other pubs. I have to stick it with a three star review, however, asthey are not great with allergy requests. Almost every time, they will include items that we have specifically asked them notto. I?m not talking about re-formulating recipes from scratch, I?m talking about leaving certain things off a burger, forexample. It?s so bad it?s almost laughable: they have messed up all but two of my last nine visits. So why do I keep going back?Hope springs eternal? At least the staff is great about trying to correct the kitchen?s mistakes. Read more
Great location and gorgeous patio. Food is usually good but a little overpriced compared to other local spots. Drinks also more... expensive than other nearby pubs. Service is not great?they are understaffed (like many other places right now) so it?s a bitslow, but many of the staff don?t seem happy like they want to be there. Had one specific bad experience recently it wasbetween 8pm-midnight on a weekend. Server ID?d one person in our small party, and then gave that person a bit of a hard timefor not ordering food, and then gave that same person a hard time when they ordered a second drink. She questioned the drinkorder and made it sound like a big deal to open another bottle of Jameson (it was 10pm on a Saturday). One person in the partyordered white wine and was brought red. One person ordered a rye and ginger and it tasted like water with a hint of whiskey. Nolime either. Never asked how everything was. Never checked in. Had to flag her or go across the restaurant to the bar to ask.It wasn?t that busy either. Will be back again likely, hopefully things improve throughout the summer :) Read more
It was a quiet evening but the food and service was great! The servers were friendly and we shared some good laughs together.... We'll be back! Read more
The service was friendly and excellent. I was a little disappointed in my Mow-chos which were extremely salty and very bare... bones and dry though. I get them from almost every Mow around me but these were just not great. The poutine was good. Read more
Best chicken I?ve ever had. I?m not a fan of chicken but this one was the best I?ve had in my entire life
