Cooper's — Restaurant in Ottawa

My friends and I used to be loyal patrons of Coopers for more than a year until we were deliberately confronted one evening by the head chef (and more bizarrely supposed head of hospitality). The incident that evening was shocking and the person involved was unprofessional and cantankerous in the way in the way they treated us. Typically we would sit on the patio daily because we had a dog with us. We would enjoy the good food and the servers never had issues with us during that time. We had previously requested that the music be turned off because a friend had a sound sensitivity, which was always accommodated by the staff and also never caused an issue. When confronted by the head chef, we were asked to leave and were told this would be our last meal at Coopers. (Also, this was the first time anyone at our table had met this individual in person) According to this person, the reason was a server or server(s) were not comfortable serving us in particular, which was amusing considering we had been there daily for more than a year without issue. His behaviour was inhospitable, deliberately unprofessional and unacceptable. No restaurant guest should be subjected to this kind of behaviour...

When you have a restaurant attached to a hotel in the core of downtown, you expect it to be pricey. Very pricey.

But we were in for a surprise. We were in Ottawa to drop our daughter off to University. Tired from a long drive from Mississauga and loading and unloading, we wanted to a quiet dinner, some good beer before our sleep

Coopers has a great patio which was full. Forcing us to take a table indoors. And we were glad, for minutes later we had a huge downpour that had all the patio patrons scurrying in.

There was only one server catering to the entire restaurant so the wait was a bit. The menu was limited but with some good choices. The prices were not as outrageous as we had imagined it would be.

Despite a single server he did a great job in attending to everyone. The beer on tap was a tad limited.

But when the beer and food came, it was good. Decent portion sizes, good taste to tickle your buds and a good ambience to eat in.

All in all it was a memorable dinner and we will definitely go here again at one of our...

We visited the restaurant on a Friday evening. It was a bit wet outside, and we were seated inside, although we would have preferred sitting outside. The service was prompt, but cannot say I enjoyed out stay. The fish and chips were good, a bit too battery and the fries were over cooked but acceptable. We also ordered chicken wings. The wings came with one type of sauce. I don't think the waiter asked us which sauce we wanted, so they just put "some buffalo" on it. His words. For 17$ the wings did not include fries. They were small and way over cooked. We also tried a pasta dish, which was clearly microwaved topped with a ton of cheese. It was unetable. Waiter looked annoyed with our questions, and was very direct, and cut us short a few times. We stayed at the hotel above it, so it was convenient but would definately not return. The patio looked...
