this place gets better every time i visit. keep it up
The thin crust pizza was a complete taste treat. The asiago cheese combined with the vegetables and cheddar made this an incredibly delicious lunch. The service was good and the view was delightful as the Tulip Festival flotilla floated by. I go to this restaurant once a year (I'm from out of town) as part of a cycling tour of Ottawa and I'm never disappointed.
Superb place to eat, extremely attentive and friendly service, very professional attractive waitresses. Were seated by the canal which was very pleasant and were attended to very well. The food itself was extremely delicious, the server recommended a perfect wine to go with it and overall it was a very welcoming, friendly, yet ritzy place.
The food here is awesome! It has an elegant atmosphere (i.e. table cloths) and the price is very reasonable. I always get the mussles, which are served in a cream sauce. Can't go wrong with the Ritz.
I have been to all Ritz locations. This one is the best and Kalil is very pleasant and will look after anything special you may want. Location is best in the City and ther is lots of free parking. I am a regular.
