    Nourriture, excellente, mais même après une réservation avec une table basse dans une section calme …. Nous avons eu une table haute qui n’est pas bonne pour ma conjointe qui est trop petite, finalement nous avons une table au sous-sol pour deux très passant autour de la table avec quasi pas de service … et très froid

    The server was an amazing person handling many different things at once, including customers who were best at home… they may have started celebrating earlier in the day. Regardless, she was very thoughtful and kind while serving our food which was tasty and generous. I would go back !

    As always, the food was excellent. Our server, Vanessa, was wonderful. We always enjoy dinner at D'arcy McGee's before a show at the NAC.

    Good pub atmosphere. Good food choices. Mahi-mahi taco app was delicious. Fish and chips delicious but the steak and fries grisly, beef was poor quality.

    It was very loud and our table was almost in a doorway so the amount of times my chair was hit by someone walking by i lost track. Also everytime someone came or went outside we got quite a breeze of very cold air. Was a minus 17 in Ottawa. I understand restaurants wanting to make money with putting in as many patrons as possible but consider the experience to the client.
