    Always a great experience at Joey Rideau! I was a little disappointed that you no longer offer sparkling wine as a welcome drink and have switched to a dealcoholized option instead. That said, our server was excellent. As for the food: My steak was delicious, but my husband's steak was not up to par. It was very chewy with large chunks of fat, and he couldn't eat it. He was too shy to mention it to anyone, so he ended up eating just the fries and salad. On the bright side, the trio sliders were absolutely amazing—so tasty! The Szechuan lettuce chicken was also fantastic, as always. We tried the Laurent Miquel white wine again, and it was just as good as we remembered. Aside from my husband's steak, everything else was perfect. Joey Rideau remains our top choice for dining out in Ottawa.

    This was the worst service I have received. If you tell them you need more time, they never come back. We waited 30 minutes for a diet coke and then had to ask a different server and it still took more time. They came around a few time to ask us when we were leaving but when we were ready to leave, we couldn't find anyone to get us the bill.

    Our server was great. Food came out quickly. Non-alcohol drink options were okay, wish there were a few more. 1 paid $9 for one with roughly 3 ounces of liquid. A bit steep. Pork dumplings were delicious, meals were prawn ravioli, tuna club, chicken club, chicken parm and steak, all were good. Servers were attentive, In and out in under 1 1/2 hours
