Al's Steakhouse

Haven’t been in maybe 25 years and my old memories did it no justice. Last visit was a friendly reminder of how fantastic this place is as a staple steakhouse in Ottawa. Not a fancy restaurant and reasonably priced as compared to many other equivalent restaurants in the city. Service was amazing. Jamie made the visit exceptional. On top of fantastic service quality, and price point is and Exceeded expectations. Won’t be another 25 years before I go back here. Excellent food. Familiar ambience. Highly recommend. Thank you.

THIS IS THE BEST STEAK I EVER HAD!! Soft, perfect smoke, juicy, just wowww!! My friends ordered bone-in also amazing! Sweet potato fries - the best! Salmon is good too! The waitress that night we had is just ok… slip the dessert menu on us, almost got hurt by fork, what an attitude..and was so unhappy when we request to separate bill when paying which we already told her we are sharing when ordered..serving time is slow on Friday, didn’t get chance to have dessert but heard chocolate cake is delicious Overall, still definitely a place I ll bring my friends and family to come on special days!

To begin with the food was amazing, the items we tried were correctly priced and very tasteful. The steak was a perfect medium rare and very good! The downside of this restaurant is the fact that they don’t every client in a reservation that they will charge you an 18% service fee (tip). So you just have to pay 18% even though the service was in my opinion one of the worst ever received in a steakhouse ever…. Server was rude, tried to grab our drink order after being seated for 2 minutes and served us the third bottle of wine we ordered after a good 30 minutes… Also he never told us about the caesar salads being an extra 5$ each, instead he just brought all of us one and charged us 5$ each without even saying it was an extra which is very unprofessional. Will definitely never be served by Ryan there again…. They did offer some compensation for the bad service we received. The food would be the only reason why we’d go back!
