Nice ambience. Good music. Unmatchable views. The location is very beautiful. Make sure to visit before sunset to get the perfect subset view. The view after sunset is amazing as well. The service is great as well. A nice place to visit for sure. Would have liked more options in ... food though. Read more

On the 16th floor of the Andaz Hotel, it's a chic lounge that's all about the ambiance and the views. The panoramic vista of Ottawa's downtown from this spot is simply breathtaking. When it comes to food, it's on the pricier side and fairly decent, though it may not blow you ... away. However, their drinks menu more than makes up for it. The Rosemary Gin Fizz, in particular, is a personal favorite and a must-try. Here's a pro tip: if you can, make a reservation during the 'Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy' fireworks in August. You'll get a front-row seat to the spectacular fireworks display, making for an unforgettable experience. Read more

Excellent view, solid drinks, but not the greatest service. We had to wait really long for each round of drinks and the cheese platter is not worth it for $39 when there’s only 4 slices of cheese. :( The lounge itself is nice but it can get pretty loud, making ... it hard to hear people over the bar noises and other tables nearby. So if its a busy night you might be yelling across the table. Great view of the fireworks though! Read more
