Bar Laurel offers a tapas-style menu with a mix of hits and misses. While some found the dishes to be flavorful and delicious, others were underwhelmed by the food quality and high prices. The ambiance was praised for its cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The bar was a highlight for many, with expertly crafted cocktails. Some reviewers experienced disappointment with reservations and seating arrangements. However, others had fantastic experiences, especially for special occasions, praising the service, food, and cocktails. Overall, Bar Laurel seems to be a hit or miss depending on individual experiences, but worth a visit for its cozy ambiance and tapas-style menu.

Great server. Best service I've had in my last four trips to Ottawa. This and Whalebone are the only places I suggest for people visiting Ottawa.
