Club Red - Ottawa

My wife and I ate there before the Sens game on a Saturday night. It was a nice place to eat and different from the usual pub food.I had a seafood pasta and she had short ribs. Both were excellent. All the staff were great.A little bit pricey but to be expected. If you want a good mean in a nice environment before an event, check it out.

We went before the Barack Obama event and reservations were for 5:00 pm so we wouldn’t be rushed. Our waiter did his best. The fault lies with management for understaffing the restaurant. Club Red is trying to be a fine dining restaurant and they are not even close, except in the prices. We waited 10 minutes for the waiter to arrive. The food was mediocre at best. One of the worst dining experiences ever for $300.00! At the end we had to wait another 10 minutes to find a machine to pay the bill. Golden Palace egg rolls in the concourse would have been better!

I went in before the Cher concert. We were told the doors to the CTC would open at 6:30 . We stood outside in the cold. They did not open until 7:00 leaving us half hour to eat. We ordered wine at the bar to which the waiter up sold a bottle of Villa Maria, 17.95 at LCBO for 76.00. Claiming cheaper to buy the bottle. .....as it usually is....not this time. We had time for a bowl of soup. We told him we were in a rush and could only get the soup. Our waiter’s attitude was so rude. I guess we didn’t order enough. His attitude was very insulting and when we paid him he took the money and ran making me wish I hadn’t tipped him at all. I complained to the woman manager with dark hair and she said oh sorry. I really didn’t feel the love at all. Suggestion for all.....eat off piste. This restaurant was disappointing.

Waited forever to get a meal before the Sens game. People sat down after us and were getting their food. Very disappointed. Also the chicken wings were not fully cooked.

$58.00 taxes for buffet before Michael Buble concert Oct 14th in Ottawa, for the choice of an appetizer, the buffet was medium rare roast beef, the chafing stainless steel containers to keep food warm were left open so food was COLD, there was cauliflower , white rice, mushy french fries, small cutup potatoes with zuchinini, roasted chicken and sausage pasta. Our waiters had 2 tables total of 24 people and my friend and I. They offered us free dessert. We had gone to Mandarin Chinese Buffet and it was much tastier and 1/2 the price. TOTAL rip off. Informed the waiter and hostess.
