My husband and I were married at The Courtyard a few weeks ago and I cannot express enough how happy we are with the service and staff at this venue. Our family and friends were so impressed with the food - seriously, everything was mouth watering good. Cynthia (the wedding coordinator) is an absolu...

I had my wedding dinner here with a group of 11 guests. The servers were so courteous and helpful, not to mention fun to joke around with! The food was fantastic, not a single complaint among any of my guests.

We did not notify Courtyard ahead of time that this was for our wedding because we were...

NEVER book your wedding here. Horrible customer service from both the owner Phil and the event co-ordinator Cynthia. I had an issue with an article being stolen at this restaurant. I was never called back after 5 weeks when I was told they would let me know if they could look at the cameras. When I ...

We had a function at the Courtyard with 15 people in attendance. The service we experienced was excellent. Event Coordinator Cynthia Verboven was fantastic - very attentive to our needs. The food was very good. The server we had during the event handled everything so professionally. I highly recomme...

We just attended our sons wedding here on Feb 8/20 with 34 people. Everything from A-Z was phenomenal! The food was beyond 5 stars! We were presented a custom menu at dinner with multiple choices, and you ordered on the spot. Every dish was fantastic. The presentation, the quality, absolute perfec...

We went for dinner on a Friday night. The food was great - creative and delicious. Service was great too! Waiter was accommodating and polite. One of the best steaks I have ever had. The menu is seasonal so it changes, but it was a bit hard to figure out what you are actually getting because the des...

Was there with thirty others to celebrate a long day in class on a Friday night. Pretty location, good service. Food was ordered weeks in advance, we only had two choices for each course. Nevertheless, it was good food, very tasty. They accommodated our large group rather well....

Great food, would give 5 stars for food. Was just there for a wedding. Expensive drinks, and had one bussed while it was still full. Didn't realize until it was too late. Told the young looking bartender that someone took my full drink and his response was 'I didn't bus it'. Then he walked away from...

Perfect for a romantic date night out. As the name suggests, the restaurant is down an old cobblestone courtyard, that makes it feels secluded and timely. While a little pricey, if you are looking a good anniversary spot, and want to dress up a little this is the place to be. They also do wedding di...

Good enough to appreciate good quality food, atmosphere and service if you compare it to a lot of other restaurants in Ottawa, but not enough to get excitement and sense of discovery in their dishes. But then again, there seem to be a trend of inconsistency in chefs' cooking in Ottawa in general so ...

My wife and I went to Courtyard for our anniversary, and it was the perfect venue! I had the beef short rib and was properly impressed. The 48 hour sous vide cooking was fantastic, as was the crust of the meat as well as the jus. My wife had the gnocchi which she said lacked some flavour (although...

First of all, I made reservations for a Tuesday night dinner to celebrate a special wedding anniversary for my sister-in-law. I precisely requested a nice table near a window or with a view. They sat us in the farthest corner facing the wall. They started with a glass of water which was warm.

I was seated promptly, and the food also came out very quickly. I stopped by around 2 pm, so it was nice as the restaurant wasn't too busy or loud. The restaurant gets quite loud at dinner time, so this was very nice.The vegetables were a little firm which is fine because that's how I prefer them. L...

Chic restaurant on two floors in an old stone house. The 5-course menu with wine accompanying the dinner on December 31 is impressive (reservation required). It introduced me to great wines from Ontario and other parts of the world. The server was perfectly attentive, polite and helpful. The service...

I was there for a wedding reception, so given that we had only a few selections and they had to prepare 70 orders I was quite impressed. The food was quite good, weddings are not known for great food since mass producing anything tends to lower the taste, but the steak was well done and the soup, sa...

The food here is very good and the presentation is great. Excellent atmosphere too, our group had a great time. The downside of our visit was that service is very slow. Expect a three course meal to take at least 2 hours. It was good that we didn't have anything else planned.

Terrible experience, the worst manager I have ever met, rude, inconsiderate and has no idea how to work in customer service. I will never go back there and I'm telling you not to also, until that man is fired. You just can't treat people that way and get away with it.

Loved it! This is the best restaurant so far in Ontario I've been to. We dine on the patio. The atmosphere was great. Moreover the food. Oh, that was impackable. For starters we had a peach soup and carrot salad. Soup was great, salad was delicious, but it wasn't easy to eat because it was hard to g...

This restaurant is fine dining so the menu isn't big. There are not many vegetarian options. The drink menu is good, it's very small so it's nice and intimate. The actual restaurant is in a very cool courtyard with an old rustic, brick design.

I deducted two stars because for the price the servic...

Maybe the best takeout experiences all quarantine so far. We eat out every Friday but versus other restaurants, the Courtyard did a really great job at making a meal that was transportable to your home in a way that makes sense. Sometimes other restaurants' dishes don't translate well for home eatin...
