    Flatbread was great. Steak mains not great. Too long a wait to be greeted at the table. Indifferent attitude if server. Great cocktails

    One of the nicest downtown spots for a casual meal. Great ambiance, delicious menu, and service was 10/10. Great place to take visitors when they come to Ottawa.

    From the first step inside, to the drinks and the food. The Hyde is an amazing experience that the pictures do not do it justice. Will be returning.

    Pretty empty at that day and time. They should use the drinks menu from the Hyde as the Clarendon ones aren’t as great.

    We were visiting Ottawa for the weekend and ended up making reservations here with friends that live in Ottawa (it was their first time going there too). We had a great time! Our food was really good and the drinks were spectacular (both in taste and presentation)! The vibe of the place is perfect for dinner or a night out - great vibe, music and ambiance! And the staff was attentive, especially our bartender. Will be back the next time we visit Ottawa!

    My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary breakfast at the Clarendon, I had left a note about this special day and the staff attended to us with great care and enthusiasm. The food, to top it all off was delicious. We highly recommend visiting and enjoying a meal at the Clarendon!
