What Barbara Romain likes about Backdrop Food & Drink:
Backdrop is amazing! The atmosphere is great and the food was delicious! Thank you to Cory, our waiter for his excellent service and the awesome band. I will be going back! Can't wait until the patio opens. View all feedback. What Eudora Smitham doesn't like about Backdrop Food & Drink:
I've been here before and it was great. This time service was incredibly slow. It wasn't busy at all (we were one of 2 tables in use on the patio) yet we waited close to 40 mins to get our food. The char burger was excellent, but overprices. It came with fries and some strange home made ketchup. If you order this, ask for mayo for your fries unless you like a salad dressing like ketcup.

Excellent music. The band was fantastic. The food was very good and the service was good as well. First time here and I hope I will have the chance come again.

Downtown gem Backdrop offers an eclectic dining experience with delicious food and creative drinks. The char burger was excellent but overpriced, while the shrimp and glass noodles were enjoyed by guests. Service was disappointing for some, but others had a great experience thanks to attentive staff, delicious meals, and a fantastic atmosphere. The restaurant offers high-end dining without the high prices. The brunch was described as amazing and inventive, while another reviewer praised the succulent dishes and homemade gourmet flair. Overall, Backdrop is a must-visit spot for quality dining in downtown Ottawa.
