The Rowan

Excellent service by our server who was amazing. Tomato salad was very refreshing. Good vibes and decor.

We shared several dishes (5 in total including dessert). My favorite might have been the chicken spaghetti dish. Small quaint restaurant with delightful decor. Reservation needed.

Great food and service. Since Frasier Cafe closed we have been bummed that our fav restaurant is no more, but this has the same owners and it shows. Very similar quality of interesting sides and well done mains. Desserts were extraordinary (especially the cheesecake).

Spectacular food and drinks options, equally matched by all the friendly, expeditious staff. The parmesan fries and beet amd carrot fritters were So, So, So Good! Added slaws elevated the fritters even more. Chef was very gracious suggesting a change to my request of the pasta without the chicken. Ron Burgundy and Blueberry Fields cocktails are extremely delicious to sip and enjoy.

Great place for a semi fancy dinner. We started with popcorn shrimp which was crispy and had great toppings. I had the pork belly and scallops for my main while my wife had the steak. The pork belly was crispy and the scallops were some of the best I’ve had. The steak was cooked to my wife’s liking and very nicely seasoned. I had the cheesecake for dessert which wasn’t what I expected but was quite good.

In our top 3 favourite restaurants. Not only are all the dishes incredible, creative, and delicious, but the folks that work there have quite frankly the best customer service I’ve experienced in Ottawa. They are all so friendly and knowledgeable and you can really tell everyone is passionate about food and service. Make sure to reserve a table ahead of time, and please for the love of god, do yourself a favour and get the dessert menu!

My family went here for brunch today and it was absolutely delicious! The portion sizes are huge and well worth the price. We had so much leftovers to bring home. Also, my family has some dietary restrictions and they were so accommodating to us! I’m vegan and it seemed like there wasn’t gonna be much for me but they were able to make the onion pakora sandwich completely vegan for me! The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff are very friendly! Definitely recommend.
