JOEY Rideau - Ottawa, Ontario

My favourite spot in the city for a reason. Food and drinks are always on point, had the yellowfin tuna salad which was kindly recommended by our lovely server Sarah and signature Sangria which always brings me back to my trip to Barcelona. But what ALWAYS takes the cake at this ... establishment is the the exceptional service which adds to the already incredible atmosphere and ambience.

I went here for a group business lunch. We were seated quickly and our server was professional and friendly. This restaurant has a big menu with lots of variety and options.

The atmosphere was upscale casual and the music wasn't too loud. We were able to have an enjoyable conversation with ease. I recommend this restaurant for nice quality food. Read more

Bubbly white at the door, nice knowledgeable waitress with manners, and the atmosphere is my vibe! I’m from Montreal and I rarely rave about Ottawa. But this is definitely a place I ABSOLUTELY want to go back to!! And the food was so tasty and fresh! We had a blast ... and I can’t wait to go back! 10/10 recommend. I loved the lettuce wraps the most! Read more

Came here for two and got seated pretty quickly on a Thursday night. They offered us a complimentary drink at the front of the reception, which was really nice:) The sushi & steak is a great combo! I highly recommend this dish and you can choose from either tuna avocado or ... salmon. We had the tuna one and it was tasty. The steak was cooked just right and not hard to chew. Crab cakes were not bad but could be better with more crab meats inside. Ambiance overall was a bit noisy but I would say it's a good place to have chats. Would definitely come back. Read more
