    A nice table for four friends, away from the noisier bar, but still within earshot of the action. Excellent service as always, and the food was outstanding and delicious. We made it easy for the chef: Jumbo Shrimp Cocktails, Filet Mignon, baked potatoes with the works, peppercorn sauce with sautéed mushrooms and broccoli. All cooked to order to perfection and served quickly to prevent heat loss. Highly recommended for business meals or special occasions.

    Menu unchanged for some years. Despite advertising as fish specialty restaurant for last several years there is no catch of the day, also no soup of the day. Several dishes are not up to par with past years. Service slow not due to lack of staff but how being organized.

    Brought my fiance there for a birthday dinner. I expected the food to be pricey which is understandable however I have gone to different high end restaurants for birthdays that at least offered a complimentary birthday desert. The shore club gave my fiancee two very small truffles which were good but small for the price we paid for our dinner.

    Love everything about Shore Club Ottawa. Food, atmosphere, location, comfortable seating, service. Our server Sean, we can’t say enough great things about Sean. Professional, kind, attentive, and provided us with an overall great experience. Shout out to Kyle, Ethan and Amira who also assisted Sean with our evening. You should go!!! It’s a great night out!

    Carpaccio was great as usual. Halibut was dry and hard ( probably from frozen) Beet salad always a hit and miss. Yesterday was just ok. Very little goat cheese, vinaigry. Never know what you are going to get with this one. I even once returned it. Will no longer get this. Tired of inconsistent dish. Menu keeps changing. Great spot for hotel guests when cold outside.

    I know this is a very nice, well reviewed restaurant but it wasn’t my favourite. The server seemed very distracted and slow all night, little things like keeping the sparkling water off the table, presumably so she could cater to us and fill our glasses but then they would sit empty forever. We grabbed and brought it to the table to fill ourselves and then she took it back again and was again slow to fill our glasses. I wanted a refill in my bar drink, finally just drank my husbands (he didn’t really want it) because she was so slow to come back and offer. Food was good, the halibut was great.

    Truffle ravioli is my fav dish here and it was outstanding...caesar salad was just ok...kind of wet still with water and lettuce was very white and needs more bacon and croutons...make it a real caesar and not a cafeteria version...maybe buy better croutons or make your own...and source better romaine. Fried chicken was very good and so was the farro/brussel sprout side...need some better red wines by the glass...always have the Grayson Cab which is decent but need a bit more better reds to choose from by the glass. Chocolate dessert was decent. Service by our waiter was outstanding! Thank you

    Everything about our dining experience, from the quality of the food to the attentiveness of the service, was perfect… Until the nasty surprise at the end of the night. We did not order bread, but it was brought to us, and we were charged for it. When we ordered steaks, the waiter said “I will bring you a peppercorn sauce that will be great with that.” Neither of us asked for it, but both of us were charged for it.  I accept that some restaurants can be quite expensive. What I can’t accept is a bait and switch upsell.

    We made reservations based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. We ordered and shared several items on the menu including steak, scallops, baked potatoes, vegetables and the most amazingly delicious mushrooms. The food was prepared to perfection and the service was excellent, friendly and efficient. We topped the meal off with a slice of the most delicious key lime pie. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and will be returning again soon.

    The food was nice. The potions were large. The service was mediocre. They got quite busy quickly and struggled to keep up. We waited quite a while for food and dessert. Not sure if this is normal but since it is a conference hotel and there were conferences seemed bad they were not more prepared
