Sophisticated Westin Hotel restaurant featuring gourmet surf 'n' turf in a contemporary interior.
We ordered caprese salad, mushroom raviloi pasta, macaroni & cheese, fries and it was all well made. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice.
This is our second time dining here for a special occasion within the last month, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful these experiences have been. One was a large group occasion and the other a romantic dinner for two, the service and food were impeccable for both. We look forward to returning, and highly recommend this fabulous restaurant. Special shout out to our server Bob, who went above and beyond.
My finacé and I dined at Shoreclub tonight, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Valet was fantastic/very helpful. one of the best restaurants in Ottawa to park safely and close by. We have been a few times here for dinner but I must say our server, Taylor, truly made our experience tonight exceptional. Her genuine kindness and thoughtful approach to service were remarkable. She took the time to understand our preferences and made excellent recommendations, ensuring we looked after throughout our meal. It was honestly the best service we’ve had in a long time. Thanks to Taylor’s attentiveness and warmth, we left the restaurant excited to return. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, I highly recommend visiting Shoreclub and asking for Taylor—you won’t be disappointed!
Really enjoyed my meal here the other night. The servers were great and extremely friendly. The Short Rib and Tuna meals were just perfect and the side dishes with their large portions were more than the 3 of us needed. The bartenders were also great, and I apologize for all the stuffed olives my colleagues had you make that night. Just a pleasant dinner at a great steakhouse.
Giving it a 4 to be nice. I’ve been here before and the service and food was a lot better. I came here a few days ago with my husband to celebrate my birthday. While the service was friendly, it was painfully slow. It took forever for us to get our entrees. Our calamari was not seasoned well and tasted salty and bland. My ribeye was good but the salmon was dry for a medium cook. We didn’t feel like staying longer so we ended up going elsewhere for some birthday dessert. Overall it just felt very underwhelming.
We went here for my birthday dinner and WOW!!! this place is amazing! Great service and the food was amazing. My wife ordered the short rib which was tender as ever and didn’t need a knife to eat it. I ordered the fried chicken and yes I said fried chicken and wow it was amazing. Our server Sorel was very knowledgeable, and recommended excellent dishes from the apps to the mains very satisfied with highly recommend
This is an upscale modern restaurant in Ottawa with a high end menu. I went here for a business supper. The server was polished and professional. We started with the tomato cheese toast which was lovely. Then, I had the mushroom ravioli. It was well seasoned, rich, and delicious. The majority of the proteins were meat, and the pasta dish was the only main course for vegetarians, as far as I noticed. Having said that, the food was outstanding. The premises were clean and I appreciated that the linens were changed on the tables after each guest. I also appreciated that they had flatware that was specific to each dish. This is a great place if you are looking for a bit more luxury.
Lunch with my Mum and sis for a Mother’s Day celebration! Our server was on point letting us know a huge table hadn’t yet ordered, not to rush us, but made us aware. Not our first time there, we are all pretty familiar with the menu. Orders taken, it wasn’t long until our food was on the table. The ambiance of this restaurant is impeccable.. highly recommend for either a work event, first date or special occasion! I had the sorbet for dessert… lime is my favourite 💚
Top notch
Their coconut cream pie is to die for! The steaks are good too.
Came here on November 28, 2024. It was my brother s birthday. We were about 7-8 guys at the very back and the servers forgot 2 of our sides. They rectified the situation. Food was good. Respects yall. Food
My husband surprised me with a birthday dinner at The Shore Club and it did not disappoint. Michael, our server, was attentive and made some excellent meal recommendations. We shared some oysters and fresh bread to start then an English cut striploin with sauteed mixed greens and grilled beefsteak tomatoes. Everything was delicious! Thanks Michael for a special evening to remember!
The food was good but the service was lousy.
Very slow to get drinks.
My wife surprised me with dinner here for my birthday and the staff, food and atmosphere was excellent! From amuse bouche to the chocolate truffle desert. 100% will go back and would recommend it.
Service wasn t too good . Im pretty sure the server kept forgetting about us. Food wasn t good either , No flavour .
Sorry was amazing he was upfront honest about selections and choices and the food was abundant and delicious and service was a 10+plus and would recommend the server Sorel
We decided to go out for lunch, not being downtown for a while, a good friend gave us a gift card for my birthday for the Shore Club in the Westin Hotel. We both chose the Lobster Roll with regular fries,....After working in the Hotel/Hospitality for 50 years, with Marriott, and recently opening the Shaw Centre, I can honestly say we were both extremely disappointed with our choice. The lobster was chopped with green onion, Chef is obviously not familiar with this maritime dish, as it is tradionally made with chopped celery, not onion, as the celery is made to compliment the delicate taste of the lobster, if we had two tablespoons of lobster that would be over exaggerating, with a price of $38.00 each....really taking advantage, this with two iced teas, was over $100, I guess when the majority of your clients are tourists, you can get away with this, Chef, and I use that term loosely, if you are tired of doing your job, time to retire. Go out, see what is going on in our city, take notes, and get creative! If we were also paying for the atmosphere, too late, that place needs an entire makeover, long overdue! Parking: Parked on the Market, in the Bay parking at a cost of $21.00 dollars, for just about 3 hours....
We ve been coming here for years, I love the food, the Service (shoutout to Rob!) & the atmosphere. Thanks again. Vegetarian options: I believe the main course I had was vegetarian! Dietary restrictions: Good for vegetarians & pescatarians alike.
Had the utmost privilege of meeting the Club s chef, Ms. Baker. Her taking the time to come out and share some of her world-class cuisine knowledge and tricks was truly special. No doubt a top-notch establishment that we are lucky to have here in Ottawa. And the food/service goes far beyond the surface be it FOH or BOH. Looks good, tastes good, leaves you wanting more. Cheers
Amazing dirty martini and great steak tartar, service was excellent
I had the most amazing and memorable birthday meal at Shore Club last night. Our server, Sorel, was fantastic and I credit him with making something already great, into an incredible dining experience. He was professional, always present and never intrusive, with attentive and friendly service. We eat out a fair bit and at many of Ottawa s reputable restaurants. But I am so often underwhelmed by food and/or service. Last night was different. Our group of four had a delicious tuna tartare amuse-bouche, Caesar salad, crab cake and mushroom ravioli to get things started. All were very nicely seasoned and very tasty. Highly recommend that mushroom ravioli for a vegetarian meal. We then had the filet, a NY striploin and bone in rib steak all cooked exactly as ordered, either medium or medium-rare (Often a huge disappointment elsewhere for my extra-finicky-about steak prep- husband). The peppercorn sauce and truffle butter were excellent. Loved the steakhouse fries, mashed potato, wild mushrooms and broccoli. The crème brule and key lime pie were great. The atmosphere is warm and elegant and perfect for a romantic dinner or a group celebration. We have already booked our staff Christmas dinner and couldn t be happier that we did! Many thanks!
Spending a lot of money here and Im underwhelmed. Pretentious efforts in presentation of average food. My lobster bisque tasted like bullion, not lobster, for example. Meh.. still waiting on food.
My wife and i had our wedding dinner here on the 14th in a private room we had booked. This place was amazing, they went over and above to meet all our needs and special requests. We dropped off our table settings with instructions on how the table should look and it was perfect!!! I wanted to throw a special shot out to Surel (gawd I hope thats spelled right!) and his team!!! This group was amazing, the attention was unreal to be honest. Everyone was so engaging and pleasant and just so eager to make this the best possible night we could have asked for. They took care of our whole family, just outstanding. Its clear they have some joy in what they do. Thanks again Surel to you and everyone working there that night! We will be back for more!!!
With the combined experience from the incredible eats to the world class level of customer service, I don t know if I ll ever eat anywhere else for dinner while in Ottawa.
When I m in Ottawa love heading to this amazing spot. The staff are top notch: friendly and knowledgeable with impeccable timing. Great ambience.
Good food, good service..however, highly overpriced for what it is.
Great food, ambience and exceptional service by Sasha! Thank you so much
Great Salad and Service for Lunch
Sorel gave our private group (a wedding party on a busy Saturday night) absolutely impeccable service! The SA we had with us was wonderful as well, I wish I could remember her name. Regardless, the food, wine and decor were done to perfection. The portions were generous and very flavourful (the mushrooms and peppercorn sauce in particular were a favourite). The only complaint was the heat in the room, especially with the door closed, but that s expected with 14 people in a small room enjoying their wine ;) Thank you very much Shore Club!
I wish there were a couple of extra stars I could add. Outstanding food, fantastic service and a lovely ambiance for a quiet chat. Perfect evening.
We had a beautiful evening with a superb high-quality food.
Parking: Park at Rideau Center Food
Passing through Ottawa for a night on vacation, we were not very well received by the staff during our visit around 10 p.m. Their hours indicate closing at midnight, but the manager assured us that this was not true. The haughty attitude made me want to go elsewhere for a drink while I was staying at the Westin hotel myself. I do not recommend this bar. Really really disappointed.
Some staff members are excellent, while others exhibit discriminatory behavior.
Sadly pretty mediocre, and the service was not up to standard for a restaurant like that
THE BAR has been set here in Ottawa and it is always a supreme and wonderful experience to return to THE SHORE CLUB, this time with friends, not business. The welcoming ambiance is perfect but it is the SERVICE that you receive , that you will not find anywhere else. Our server was beyond attentive and went out of his way to continue to recommend wonderful menu choices and exact pairings from the wine menu. We were so happy and so full from Oysters, Calamari, Short rib, Halibut and Salmon plus dessert - that we forgot to submit our own photos so borrowed this amazing pic. All this to say, if you have not been here please do drop in. A REFRESHING and phenomenal treat. Thanks to Manager Craig Stevenson for table checking on all guests. .Highly Recommend.
Went here with a few friends while visiting the city on business. The food was outstanding. I had a Ribeye with béarnaise sauce and there were enough of us at the table that we were able to sample a wide assortment of their meal accompaniments. I myself and everyone at our table found ourselves impressed with the food. For dessert, I had the cheesecake and it was evident that every part of it, the crust, the cake itself, the garnishes, the raspberry coulis, had been prepared in house and recently at that. I had a cocktail and a glass of wine, both of which were also very good. The wait staff were excellent. Our waitress helped people make the best choices by suggesting temperatures for the proteins, letting us know how many sides to order etc. The service given supported the atmosphere, with food coming out in a timely fashion, but also at a pace to allow us to enjoy our meals. Never at any point did I feel either rushed or neglected. I fully plan to return here on future trips.
Shore Club An amazing way to spend a mortgage payment, truly not an inexpensive option yet, the steak and wine options are very decent, mix drinks were all skillfully made, not a single thing disappointed. Overall food was incredible, staff friendly and knowledgeable, the main decor makes for a perfect date dinner location, a perfect way to enjoy Ottawa cuisine locations. A must try but be warned, it addes up very, very quickly. Check it out!
Nice upscale restaurant. Food was great and the server was very knowledgeable on both food and wine. Would highly recommend for a nice dinner or night out.
Great drinks at the bar
Overpriced for the service we received in the lounge(which could be a one off to be fair). There are other locations in Ottawa that can easily compete on food and service . But then if you re eating here money isn t typically an issue unless the service doesn t match. If you eat here, eat restaurant side. The A team works there. If you re looking for atmosphere, eat lounge side. If you re just looking to watch the game, it s an expensive location to do so, but they do have screens everywhere.
Great food, classic menu, everything is prepared perfectly. I had the halibut, my husband had the steak and baked potatoes (which he couldn t stop talking about). Cocktails and even mocktails were delocious. Cheesecake and coconut cream pie for dessert did not disappoint.
The foods not great not bad, the light is to dark tho Wheelchair accessibility: Location inside the westin hotel,wheelchair accessibility friendly Food : 5/5 |
We had a business meeting/dinner that ended up great with the deal being done. Started enjoying our evening and had a few drinks and mid dinner. Manager kicks us out for being too loud? Not even a warning. Safe to say we won t be recommending this place anytime soon. They need to get off their high horse.
The food was good. But to pay 55$ for a filet mignon and nothing else in the plate was weird to me. Had to pay 9$ for a baked potato as an extra. The server was very nice and she made us feel comfortable with 3 young kids. We never felt like it was an issue.
Great food and impeccable service. Had a great evening.
I used to like their happy hour, but food options were more limited in happy hour, so I now stop by occasionally for their excellent beef carpaccio and a drink.
Very friendly staff. The place is clean and spacious. You dont necessarily have to have a full-course meal to check the place out. I went there and enjoyed some drinks (both alcoholics and non-alcholics). They have a varied selection of vines and cocktails. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Theres some background music that doesnt distract you and allows you to hear others, some TVs displaying sports games and a fancy set-up
Amazing it a great word to use. From the time we arrived, seated at our table for our family celebration. The services was impeccable, The Staff (Birjan K and his helper) were the best at helping us with our selections and giving us great advice and finally to Mercedes Gordon for making our evening a memoriable one.. Until the next time...
Recommend their beef tartare. Great service, great food
Sirloin steak 7/10 Backed potato 4/10 Beef tartare 8/10 Calamari 10/10 Service 11/10 Atmosphere 7/10 I wouldn t recommend this place for date night but it s a great option for business meeting.
I ve been coming here for years. Can t beat the atmosphere, service and food quality
Expensive, but nice please for romantic time
Service: Confused, messy. A lot of people running around doing . . . Not very much. Atmosphere: NOISY!! Dress code supposedly smart casual; actually much closer to casual than smart. Food: OK, definitely not exceptional.
The only thing that I wish would change is the lightning, its a tad dim but that s all the food is delicious and they have a very good variety of drinks. I would definitely recommend this place if your staying at the Westin or even if your looking for really good food.
The food is always great
Excellent service and food in the PDR tonight. Thank you.
I usually come here for a nightcap. Lots of fantastic selection of drinks. The lamb is excellent. Their desserts are really good too. The atmosphere, service, and quality of drinks (beers, cocktails) are always top notch.
I recommend a drink at the bar with a friend
This place continues to impress! This particular time, we booked the private room, had a set menu with a few great choices. I had the salmon tartar to start, halibut for dinner and key lime pie for dessert. All excellent choices!!
Lead server at our table was terrible. Slow and disinterested, sour and obviously wanted to be somewhere else. Not paying top dollar to be treated like an inconvenience. 20 minutes for a bottle of wine and then having to ask for it is unacceptable (and it suddenly appeared when asked to cancel). Won t be back soon.
Second time at this restaurant ,The food and service was excellent
With Hys gone, this is the place that most closely reminds of that style steak house. Everything was perfect,and that is hard to do. All steaks were done to perfection. I cannot recall ever having better onion rings. Great wines, reasonably priced.
Food taste great
I spent a couple days in Ottawa last month and when I arrived I was very hungry so I met with my mom and we decided to just eat in the hotel restaurant. We were not disappointed. The decor was very nice and relaxed. It was a tad dark as part of the ambiance but honestly it was may e just a tad too low, my mom had to use her phone light and Im only 31 but I had troubles reading it. Regardless of that it was very comfortable inside. We were greeted by Sasha I believe her name was, very nice and professional. She seated us and gave us a minute or two to figure out what wed like to drink to start. As we were deciding Sasha came back with these two little delicious and beautifully crafted bites made of pear, chicken, arugula, ,cinnamon and balsamic pear chicken bite tasters and they were AMAZING! Sasha explained that the chefs tend to make a rotating daily inspiration dish and today Id say I got very lucky to have been able to savor these imaginative creations. I ordered the filet mignon with the roasted brussel sprouts bowl. The steak came medium rare as desired and as it should be! Tender and delectable are the two words that comes to mind when trying to describe the amazing flavor profiles of the steak. The brussel sprouts were exceptional as well with some garlic bits mixed in if Im not mistaken. Definitely a winner. For dessert I asked what would be a suggestion and Sasha had mentioned that the coconut cream pies are amazing but that apparently they have some of the best creme brule in town so I took her up on that and wow she was not bullsh!tting! Overall the dining experience was just what I needed to relax, recoup and then recluse into my room. Sasha was an amazing host I definitely recommend popping by here if you ever get a chance! Vegetarian options: Brussel sprouts bowl
Very nice service and atmosphere however the food in general is too salty and the filet overdone. I compare it to another popular steak place in town and would much rather spend my money at the other place. Overall underwhelming.
2nd staff xmas party there. Wonderful.
Im visiting in town and had only casual sweaters and jeans. I felt totally comfortable there even though it was refined and elegant. The service staff was exceptional. I had 1/2 chicken and it was delicious. Absolutely would be happy to return
All the experience was awesone. Although 5 stars but one thing was done and I blame the chef for doing it. The chef should never serve a piece of filet mignon orphan in a big plate. That was weird and unprofessional. At least something to fill up the plate like a drawing with whatever or some salad leaves. That was cheap and bad!
Fantastic food great atmosphere
2022-11-02: I used to go to Shore Club for happy hour frequently before the COVID pandemic. Were so happy to be back, as you can tell from the glasses of wine and trays of oysters on the table! Please bring back my favorite Alaska flambé to the menu!
Wonderful experience, their menu is absolutely delicious; all ingredients properly executed to make the most flavourful dishes.
i m here right now for a birthday and the service is excellent
excellent restaurant great food
Meals and drinks were outstanding! Our server Sorel went above and beyond for our party. Great recommendations (lots of vegetarian options), amazing service and atmosphere. Thanks again for a memorable evening! Will recommend to others and definitely be back soon :)
I came here for a birthday dinner last April, the restaurant has an aesthetic interior. The food is good but also expensive since it is a higher scale restaurant. Now for the bad part.. the owner/manager, not sure what his role was but he was definitely above the servers. He was very rude to me and my party, some people did show up late but he was coming to the table every time a guest came and asked if theres more. When I arrived he gave me a talk on time management like he was my teacher or something, very uncalled for and micro aggressive. After everyone arrived, he came to tell us the kitchen was closing at 10, but other parties were being seated? We had our food, the servers were very sweet they brought out some chocolates with candles for the birthday. Another table bought us a round of shots, the manager was going to give it to them but they directed him to us and his face dropped, he seemed unhappy to do so. Overall, I feel like the manager had a microaggressive attitude towards our table.
One of the top 3 restaurants in Ottawa. Was my first visit and for sure not the last. Excellent cuisine and service. Great steak and seafood.
Extremely good but extremely pricey. The table were small and the seat was somewhat uncomfortable though. For 3 people we were filling the entire table with our plates.
Was there for a private salon party and was quite disappointed as detail to service was lacking all round. Drinks took about 45 minutes to come to our table that we had to start on little sips of wine first ...plus main attendant had to be constantly asked for drinks or refill of wine. Service was extremely slow from both bar and kitchen yet when we eventually received some food it was excellent !!!! But the wait was mega and service greatly lacking for a small private party....non attentive staff
Good food right downtown
Overall comment it was ok. Good ambience and service, but the food was not worth the price. I had the stuffed trout, it was dry and not much flavor. The steak was average nothing special to it. We enjoyed the brussel sprout bowl which would have been suffice without the main. the crispy shrimp was salty for us but went along great with the Last Word cocktail. Bake potato was good.
Geoffrey made our dinner even more enjoyable
Nice place to spend time in upper-like class restaurant. Service is good, the menu is expected high level.
Excellent short ribs. Great service.
TL;DR, outstanding food, fantastic service, but a few tricky details with the drinks! Weve got a tradition of going here for valentines, so as an early heads up, book early because they do tend to get booked out well in advance! Straight out of the gate, the staff are really polite, well organised and professional. From the front of house, to bussing, bar staff and servers, its like clockwork! For opening drinks, we opted for a house classic of an Old Fashioned, and one of their specialities, the Razzle Dazzle. The Razzle Dazzle is sweet, and our server advised us of that, but was really very enjoyable. The old fashioned was spot on, and nice to get a classic where other places are determined to go down the smoked route. Starters were excellent! The classic Cesar salad was nicely dressed without going over the top on dressing. Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio is an absolute flavor masterpiece, with the little details of red onion, capers and paper thin beef being just wonderful. Really recommend that one! For mains, heres where it gets really interesting! Theres a little detail on their steak menu that they will English cut any steak for sharing, so we opted for their biggest, chunkiest bone in ribeye and two sides. This is well worth considering, particularly for something like a date night. The crust on this was just sensational, and cooked absolutely perfectly! Their big ribeye is a lovely amount for two, beautifully presented too (also the herb butter is outstanding). For sides, the fries are brilliant but the roasted broccoli is an absolute unsung hero. A note at this point on drinks. While the food and service was nothing short of outstanding, the drinks side of things is probably the only thing that didnt hit the mark. For wines, a lot of their by-the-glass are about the same price for a 9oz as a full bottle in the LCBO, and their by-the-glass is very limited, like no French option and only a $52 Stags Leap (again, go check LCBO!) That being said, there are some reasonable options, but its worth doing some research before you go. While the cocktails were good, we also had a standard G&T which was not well balanced. Dial back the ice, add more tonic! Overall, however, its a good fine dining experience. A mention should go out to the atmosphere of the place, and it is really well run. If the drinks side was tightened up and modernised, it would be faultless. A really good experience overall, and worth a go!
Sorel was our server and did a fantastic job! Enjoyed some complimentary items! Had the Kingston Estate Shiraz- and it did not disappoint! Food was great, love that the establishment promotes sharing. Recommended dishes
Consistent excellency every time! Our waiter Birjan was all of the above.
Delicious
excellent rainbow trout stuffed with crab
Wonderful restaurant! It was a great fine dining experience with a very comfortable ambiance. All the servers were very attentive and courteous. The dishes were all cooked and served beautifully. I ordered a tuna dish and was very pleased with how well it was prepared. Would definitely return to dine here again and recommend to others who are in Ottawa. Dietary restrictions: They are able to accommodate sensitivity to gluten and diary
We had a great dinner experience. we enjoyed the rib eye steak, Caesar salad, oysters, mashed potatoes and mushrooms. The service was excellent too. Will definitely come back.
Thank you for a wonderful celebration of our anniversary
Good seafood. Tried something not on the menu and they were happy to make it for me. The complimentary chocolate mousse was nice too.
Our meals were excellent , thanks
Waited 15 min at the bar. No service. The waitress walked by 3 times. For the type of restaurant this is, one star
Steaks werent great, small for the size they say on the menu
Fantastic food Fantastic atmosphere great service
One of the better restaurants but with so so service and ok food. Great key lime pie though.
Shore club has been a favourite of ours for any major milestone celebrations. The service is top notch and we love how flexible the chef is when it comes to any dietary accommodations. The ambience is great for a date-night. Their mushroom ravioli is a must have!
Food is phenomenal but small portions for larger prices. Overall amazing experience, perfect for a classy date or party night!
Incredible service and fantastic food! Great service by Sacha and amazing management from Sorel and Colin!
Probably one of the best steakhouses in Ottawa. The service was impeccable. Very friendly staff and extremely professional. The food was amazing. I think what makes place so special is that they dont complicate things and focus on the flavors, and its not an uptight place if you know what I mean. The experience was simply flawless. Would strongly recommend it for a date night. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. We had the cheesecake for desert, it was very good . Definitely coming back !
Excellent dining experience! We want to try a good place for seafood in downtown, so after doing some research chose this place. Food was great! the cajun shrimp appetiser was very addicting, flavoured just right. And the fish was cooked well. And the chocolate trifle was so exquisite, that we were hankering for some black coffee after. All the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly, and happy to recommend good combinations. Happy customer.
Great food, great service
Food fantastic and done just as ordered. Service is professional while still being friendly. A little expensive but treat yourself.
We always love coming to shore club for get togethers. Whether you valet, drive or uber its super convenient to get to. Seafood and steak options are all delicious, and they always take extra care to make sure our spicy Margaritas are perfect.
Took the family for a birthday celebration. We had a great time! Friendly staff, great food and cocktails, we got the 2 tier seafood tower...amazing!! Thank you for a nice evening!
Exceptional service. Welcoming staff. Easy going, pleasant vibe. Nice view. Decor outstanding. Food above most of the rest. A steal at the prices coupled with service. With advisor. You will be well looked after.
So I went to the shore club with my family for my birthday. It s a beautiful and classy place firstly. They also offer to take your jackets while you dine with made things very comfortable. Our server was named bob and he was a perfect, classy gentleman. The food was delicious and they gave us some free entrées from the kitchen and wrote happy birthday on my plate with chocolate and even added a candle. Overall it was a great experience with great staff and great food, love, love, love!
Outstanding service and food ! Our second meeting there and can t get over how great the food was for our large number. See you again soon
We had a great dinner. The attention to our special requests was outstanding. Our waiter was awesome. Thanks!! We will be back soon. Kid-friendliness: Made special plate. Just great!!
This is a very nice bar. They make very good cocktails and at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere too.
Great atmosphere great drinks fabulous food. Service just okay
Wow A good restaurant for a tête-à-tête
Removing 1 star for the service. Booked over the phone, got told it was so busy and ended up booking 2h after what I would of like. Ended up showing up early, and it wasn t even that busy? Food was really good tho! Amazing scallops and salmon tartare
We celebrated our half marathon here and it was the right choice. Our server was great and the food was delicious - especially the Brussels Bowl. Who knew something so healthy could taste so good? If we ever race again in Ottawa, were going back to the Shore Club.
Dined at the Shore Club this evening. It was the longest dinner service of my life. Our party was larger than planned and the restaurant was able to quickly accommodate us. That was definitely the second fastest thing this evening (the fastest was the check). The menu featured the worlds largest wine collection ever. The way to build your meal was not super clear but the waiter did an alright job explaining it. The choices were very diverse and very expensive. The food was absolutely incredible. We had a bunch of appies to start, and we re able to place our appie order about 30 mins after we arrived. The bread basket was 4 pieces and was good. We also had the jumbo shrimp, oysters, crab cakes and the highlight was the crispy shrimp best thing I ate all night. We then ordered our meats and shared a bunch of sides, served family style. We had velvety mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked asparagus, crispy shoestring fries and the best sautéed mushrooms out there. The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and had a topping of truffle butter .it was a simply delicious meal. The dessert of cheesecake was not what I expected, it wasn t sweet at all and had a chocolate crust, which I didn t enjoy at all. The dessert was the biggest disappointment all evening. All and all, i recommend it if you want to impress your guests but be prepared at the cost overall, I d be ok eating here again, and I know exactly what I d order :)
Fantastic in every way! Vegetarian options: Brussel Sprout bowl is recommended. Food : 5/5 |
Overpriced for nothing.....Drinks are crazy expensive......Went once to try it out and never again
We went for happy hour and it was lovely. Fresh seafood and tasty sliders with a nice char on the patties.
Lovely service and delicious cocktails!
Upscale &expensive eatery in centretown Ottawa.
Exceptional food and service. Very good at accommodating allergies.
This restaurant is expensive with food cooked to specification as opposed to great taste which potentially could break all the rules in the kitchen! Unfortunately, there was a certain something missing in taste. Good drinks. Friendly staff from reception all through the evening. We asked for our left over sauteed wild mushrooms ($15 worth) which we hardly touched during our dinner, and left over fish to be taken home. Somehow, the waitress packed the fish but not the mushrooms! Not sure if I would return.
I was hoping to have a great night with my friend as I was offering him a meal. Food was in the budget. Then we show the Azul which is something we usually get to LCBO. We noted they had a few Azul we can not get in the LCBO. We told the barman we will be interested in trying one. Then we realized we did a mistake as we did not ask for a shot price knowing the regular Azul plus tax is 300. So we were expecting 30 - 40 max. But unfortunately, we tried the drink before asking the price which was a mistake. He told us it was 130 later. He knew we did not see the menu! And worse when my friend went to the washroom one of the barman said to the other Im asking myself if they are going to be able to pay the bill. He also added their night was not too busy. They thought I was not hearing them because Im a French black girl! As Im an accountant I realized these guys are trying to reach their night income goal as the restaurant was not busy and it was not professional to not tell us the price knowing we did not look at the menu. I make more than my friend so I ended up paying the bill. Please note 2 little shoots of Azul are 130 each. Well if my friend went there by himself they would take advantage of him whixh is insulting. We were just trying to have fun! Be careful.
Great service, decor... the cocktails are amazing! Ask for Nevin! Parking: Some parking on Daly street. If not, you will have to park in the market or The Westin parking Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible as there is no stairs
6/5 stars!!!! BIG thanks to NAOMI who guided me through my dining experience at this wonderful restaurant. She asked me questions and then guided my choice to their SHORT RIB accompanied by a simple homemade Caesar salad... OMG!! Despite the little time we have and the number of restaurants available to us, I recommend trying a new restaurant BUT I will make an exception because I will come back for sure!!!
Crab cake was disappointing, tasted and looked like canned crab meat. Steak tartare wasn t as fresh as it could have been. Fried chicken was crispy but tasted off. Mashed potatoes were okay. Service was impeccable though.
Excellent dinner and service. Staff was great and attentive. Would return. Steak was excellent best mashed potatoes ever
A well-known seafood restaurant in Ottawa. The dining atmosphere is great and the menu is rich. In addition to the specialty chilled seafood, there are also steaks, various salads and other options. We ordered lobster bisque, which was delicious. The bread is soft and delicious with their butter . I tasted their specialty chilled seafood tower, for two people, a whole plate of seafood, including tiger shrimp , lobster tail, marinated tuna, orange white fish fillet, West Coast oysters (tender and juicy, Worth ordering a la carte). There are several kinds of sauces, among which the garlic butter is heated in a small stove and tastes great when paired with lobster. I expected the service to be very good. The beautiful woman who took the seat and the handsome guy Deon who served the food. Their sincere smiles and attentive and thoughtful service made the food in my mouth feel even more delicious. But there was another waiter who looked very senior and had a business-like look, which was a bit inconsistent with the consumption, which slightly reduced the service rating.
Loved the seafood tower, the staff was so friendly. Great fried chicken, fantastic fries and top shelf coconut cream pie.
Thank you to the friendly, efficient staff members who came to my aid when I requested a bag of ice for a child I found injured and sitting on the street with a swollen, sprained ankle from falling where the city is doing work. Your kind response is appreciated.
Crazy expensive, surprised we were charged for bread. Service was stellar from Sorrel. A real pro and very personable.
Horrible service. I walked out
Great place to grab a cocktail and snacks! Great ambience as well
The shoestring fries were Amazing!
Excellent place to dine at, with a fair price. High quality food with exceptional service. 5/5 The place is a bit noisy but other than that, everything is top-notch and luxurious.
Had a delightful evening last night. The staff was courteous and professional. We had the trout and mushroom ravioli, heavenly. Will be back for sure to try more. Food : 3/5
Diner was somewhat okay, but not great. It wasn t what I expected. Our meat were over cooked. We ordered the lobster and steak and the lamb, lobster was good but both lamb and steak were over cooked and hard to cut. We asked for medium well, but our proteins were way past well done. The only thing we really like was the tomato cheese toast. The bread and cream cheese, tomatoes and spices went really well together. There was one dish that we hated and couldn t eat, they didn t charge us for it! Reason why I am giving 3 stars.
The place has a very good atmosphere and delicious food!!
Been going there for 10 years now. Never been deceived
We had a great experience at the Shore Club in Ottawa. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. The bread and butter was SO good. The browned butter with the maldon salted bread was delicious. I had the short rib which was rich and fall off the bone. Would highly recommend! Our server Sorel was the best sever we have ever had. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience at Shore Club. Thank you for a great night. We will definitely be back.
Fun restaurant and bar
First time at the Westin Hotel s Shore Club. So many posers at the bar.
They didn t have the trout (odd due to this is a seafood place) and the food I got was burned. Asparagus were soft and no taste at all. Something absurd is that you pay for sides !! Expensive for what I had.
Only for drinks
Been going here for years, but lately the customers are getting more relaxed (more than once). Left early this week instead of ordering a 2nd course because of a loud, belligerent drunk at the bar who was throwing f bombs and wanted to be everyones friend. Staff didnt seem to care and dismissed my feedback on the matter. Theres plenty of places to have this kind of fun but this restaurant is a place for special nights, and this guy ruined it.
I really enjoy Shore Club. They re very good about allergies and the wait staff are always kind and well-versed in the menu. Our meals are always consistently great. I strongly suggest the chicken, salmon and the filet. The greens are a great side as are the vinegar fries. You honestly cannot go wrong with any dish on the menu, but these are our faves. Strongly suggest.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. From the modern decor, specialty drinks, extensive wine list, excellent service, delicious meals to the upscale and intimate lounge area, you will love this place if youre looking for a special night out. Parking: Parking is available at the Westin Hotel, the Rideau Centre or the Shaw Centre. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy man floor access through the lobby of The Westin Hotel.
Always on point with impeccable service and food!
I went there for Valentines day .. and it was the worst . The waiter was lingering a little too long around us . The atmosphere was pretty dull , it felt uncomfortable to speak at average tone . The food was so overpriced for what it was . I know fine dining in general doesn t live up to its name but for what it cost .. it was very very disappointing Parking: Parking is very difficult to find
Our waiter was great. Personally, I found the food a little salty but I don t eat much salt in general. I d definitely go back. If you enjoy mocktails, I highly recommend the It takes to to mango: not too sweet yet refreshing.
Great ambiance and good food. Highly recommend happy hour
Great restaurant! Delicious food! Need to improve their selection for vegetarian!
Food: Excellent. For lunch I ordered the salmon tartare with homemade rusks and a green salad and it was fresh and tasty. I have food restrictions and they were very good and careful about it and I had no issues at all. I also had a mocktail ( Something Sweet ) and it was excellent and refreshing. Service: The coat-check lady was extremely kind and professional. Our waitress was kind, quick and accommodating. However, I feel the overall service experience wasn t up to par with the sophistication of the establishment and its price point ($50+ for my whole lunch), e.g., plate calling ( Who has the raviolis?? ) and forgetting items. These were little details but it clashed with the whole vibe. Location: Amazing location downtown Ottawa. Being from out of town, I had a hard time finding parking. If there is a parking, it isn t clearly indicated. I ended up parking elsewhere and walking to get there. Dietary restrictions: I have several food restrictions. I told the waitress, she was kind about it and I had no issues whatsoever with the food or drink that were served to me. Parking: I haven t been able to find their parking if they have one. I ended up in a paid indoor parking elsewhere and walked over there.
A Fancy restaurant by the Delta Hotel in Ottawa!
We went for drinks and a nibble. The larger charcuterie board was awesome. Surprising flavors. Drinks were great as always!
The manager Orlando is amazing Thx you Food
I can t find enough words to thank everyone there. Amazing service, delicious food. Special thanks to Birgin , Zlaton & Pop Food
Such a gem for Ottawa, a wonderful meeting place whether for a drink, bar food or dinner. We shared the carpaccio, followed by beef tartare and steak frites. All delicious and to point. The food is only undone by the amazing service we received from Naomi. Clearly seasoned in the field, not to mention obviously loves what she does.
Worth the price, your actually paying for the taste of the food, salad was the best Cesar salad , best baked potato best chilled seafood platter and best lamp chops by the way the lamp and chicken here is Halal halal halal. They also ask before coming in any allergies I said no food cooked by alchole and only halal. They took care of everything.
We were there in Oct 2022. It wasnt our first time there. Food was rather average each time we were and service was inconsistent. We had starters, main and dessert. The baked potato (not on picture) was good. Fish and steak were average. Scallops were overpriced. The coconut cake is light and worth a try.
French follows If you want a mouth-watering steak then this is the place, it will cost you but you won t be disappointed. If you want a juicy steak then this is the place, it will cost you a fortune but it is worth the trip.
A beautiful, classy interior. Steak tartare was ok but bland and the smallest tartare portion I ve ever had. Service was fast and friendly. Difficult to find: only entrance is from within the Westin hotel, I could not find an exterior door so I was wandering around outside.
We celebrated my husband s bday today and it was superb! The service was just outstanding, food was excellent, everything was performed with perfection. We thank the Shore Club team for the outstanding performance!!
Amazing food and atmosphere
Loved it
Food was outstanding. Server was very attentive. Very nice environment. Way better then expectations
A rehearsal dinner for the ages. We were lucky to experience the private room with delicious food, great drinks but more importantly, incredible service. Sorel and his team were phenomenal from start to finish. Couldn t recommend this place more and the private room is one of the best in the city if you have a group event.
Over price !!!! Filet mignon not good at all , mashed potatoes no flavour. Only the seafood tower was good ( salmon tartare YUMMY , scallops/white fish ceviche wow and the tuna one of the best i had)
Alittle bit over price but Services were very good Dietary restrictions: They serve Halal chicken and lamb Food : 4/5 |
I think this is one of the best spots in Ottawa. Great location if you or guests are staying at the Westin. Excellent service, waiters and bartenders. Top notch! Happy hour is a great treat for Oysters. Supper was excellent. Wine list was fantastic. Overall cost was very reasonable. This is not your typical hotel restaurant. It holds up against much more expensive options in George Street area.
Service was very good and a nice place to have a meal while staying at the hotel. Food was a bit low as this was called a cake but it had no cake so had I known it was more of a fudge bar and no cake, would have ordered smthg different. B52 was nice though.
Exceptional restaurant! The gastronomy is excellent! Everything is super good, The service is fast, The servers are very welcoming, The atmosphere is magical, The frame is perfect for different occasions!!
My favourite restaurant in Ottawa! The seafood tower is fantastic!! So is the rest of the menu! The service is definately what you would expect in a fancier restaurant...very friendly and very attentive. I usually come here for special occasions but the atmosphere is great for a nice lunch with a friend or just some cocktails at the bar
Food was delicious and the service was great. Overall, great experience for our first time there!
Had the pleasure of drinking and dining at this beautiful restaurant several times over the weekend. Not only was the food delicious and expertly prepared but the service was stellar. Chelsey, Connor, Sorel and Bob made every effort to ensure our every request was met and went above and beyond! We will be back and hope to be seated where these incredible staff are serving. Dietary restrictions: All you need to do is state your restrictions and they are honoured with respect and thoughtfulness.
I took my family here over the weekend for my mothers birthday. It definitely is a finer dining experience, the prices do reflect that so it is something to be conscious of if you are on a tighter budget. We got the double seafood tower to start, for entrees we respectfully got the salmon, double cut lamb, braised short rib, and the filet mignon. The seafood tower was very fresh and probably our over all favorite. The entrees were great, and no one had any complaints. Now the entrees come with only the proteins selected, so if you want sides, they have options but they come in a family style meant to be shared with the table. So for sides we go the mashed potatoes, and garlic butter mushrooms. EVERYTHING tasted great! The ambiance was very nice inside, and the staff were extremely friendly.
Just wow! Classy, rich interiors. Very professional, attentive staff. Excellent food! Loved it and can t wait to go back and bring friends with me!
