    All of us at our table felt the service was not the same as in past experiences. I had to ask other servers for service because our server was not coming to check on us, and we needed refills, ordering, and more. Over the years I have gone here, I was extremely disappointed tonight.

    My first time at Al's and definitely won't be my last! Tina my server was wonderful. The steak and frites were delicious. The portion size was perfect for me. Finished the meal with a large slice of Coconut Cream pie, which is a must have. I will be back next time I am in Ottawa!
