I have no idea why Maxwell's is listed as #6 attraction in Ottawa!??! It is a regular bar/restaurant for the 30+ crowd. Yes, I have had decent times there... girls night out, bachelorette party, bite to eat... but it is just like every other bar or bistro you would go to. It is definitely not worthy of being #6 of... more

My husband and I dined there last Friday evening. Great friendly service, nice decor (very clean and tidy), linen napkins, menu was varied and wine prices VERY reasonable - all bottles of wine $26 and lots of options for wine by the glass!!! what a great concept. Food was great (best calamari we have ever had) and desert was fabulous. more
