The restaurant is very quiet, and low traffic (we went on Mother’s Day). It over looks the parliament and the Rideau canal, it has great views. The server was very polite, attentive, quite interactive but not too much hovering and made good recommendations. This was the best part of the service tbh.The menu was fairly limited/small, but offers at least one option in meat, seafood and vegetarian and vegan. Which you will appreciate if you have a picky party. The kids meal doesn’t come with drinks m, and these were fairly expensive as well, but so is most of downtown’s finer dining scene.The quality of most of the dishes were either good/ok or great. The mains were just ok. The burger and lobster roll breads weren’t super fresh, and the lobster roll appeared to be imitation meat. I would’ve expected better for the price. But the food arrived in decent time and hot so I was happy with that.Overall I would say it was a good experience, just missing the mark for great (based on the smaller menu and not-so-great entrees) but all else is a high rating from me and my family. I would recommend to anyone who asks about it, but we will not return immediately for seconds, as will be trying other restaurants around ottawa.

This place, not restaurant is a 5 because of the view. Obviously over priced! Had a salade Nicoise and thought for $28 I would get a little gem of a salad. Well no. A novice chef would make such a tasteless bland salad. Totally disappointed on the quality. A third of an egg ! And lots of salad. But what a view !

Great view but the food does not do justice to what you would expect from the Chateau Laurier. Foie gras served with rancid fries, dry pasta salad with basic cooked shrimps. We were overall very disappointed.

I stayed at the Fairmont hotel and made a reservation at the La Terrasse before visiting. It was a bit tricky to find as it's actually located outside to the left of the building, I had to ask the front for how to find it. They had plenty of tables and it has a great view of the parliament buildings which made a great dining atmosphere. We were hoping for brunch, however there is no brunch menu only lunch and dinner. While the food was enjoyable, the service was a bit slow.

Well. Mother’s Day was a busy. Made resos for 4:45 in order to avoid the rush. Took 30 mins for the server to even bring us water. Felt horrible for the server who seemed to be serving every table in the restaurant and running around with his head cut off. Asked if the seafood platter was enough to serve 2 people and was assured it would be enough for 3 people. It was not. And was told the platter included lobster tails. By the manager himself. No mention of up charge. It did not. And manager did not admit to making the mistake of describing something nonexistent. It was insulting that they did not take any ownership. The shift supervisor was horrible and was unable to find a resolution. Will never come again. This place is overhyped. And understaffed. And food is mediocre at best.

This is THE ultimate summer patio! With views overlooking Parliament and the Ottawa River, you get the perfect sunset spot. The What-A-Melon sangria is so fun, served in a full watermelon! The food was absolutely amazing. The server was kind, friendly, and attentive. I will absolutely be back!

The view is honestly so amazing here and it almost made up for the pretty disappointing food. The service was super friendly and the bartenders made some really tasty drinks. But holy heck the dinner was disappointing. The crusted tuna lacked sooo much flavour I almost asked for some soy sauce so I can eat it like sashimi. The crab pasta dish had a heavy cream base but nothing much else in terms of flavour. I felt like someone forgot to salt the pasta water before cooking the pasta. The only saving grace was that the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.The dessert was so unmemorable I didn’t even remember to take a photo. Maybe come here for the views, have a beverage and then skip the actual meal.

Came here on a Friday evening, their outdoor patio was not full, yet they seemed overwhelmed. Waited over 20 minutes for drinks, the salad an appetizer came out before our drinks. They forgot a glass of wine as well. The main course never came, so we just asked for the bill and left.I really wanted to enjoy the experience, but after waiting for a meal that never came, it was ruined.

Before going there I read the comments and I was a little shocked but I still wanted to try it nonetheless and I was surprised in a good way! The Caesar salad was quite good (we asked for it without bacon which was respected) but the burrata wasn’t very good for 22$ it wasn’t great. As for the mains they were very good the steak and fries was great and I definitely recommend this dish if you decide to go there. Finally the view was amazing and there were fireworks which made the experience even better. Our waiter was also very nice, kind and funny (his name was Justin) unlike what other comments say about the service. All in all I suggest you try it and make your own opinion about it because the comments didn’t really represent the reality in my opinion
