Reviews for Perspectives Restaurant at Brookstreet in Kanata, ON

I wasn’t going to post anything about my eggs Benedict on Oct 2/22, but I went a restaurant in Bells Corners on Oct 10 and... again ordered eggs Benedict. The quality of the eggs Benedict itself was better at Perspectives, both egg yolks were cooked theway I ordered. When I looked at the overall presentation and quality of the rest of the dish, I found the potatoes were lacking. They were frozen home fries On Monday, one egg was done right but the other was just a bit too firm for me.but I forgive thembecause I had real home fries. So between Perspectives and the one in Bells Corners, I prefer the latter. I didn’t expectmuch there, but I did at Perspectives . Read more

You can tell Brooksreet continues to maintain its longevity and great service, which could be scary for the restaurant industry.... They likely adjusted their kitchen and approach during the quarantine. As a restaurant who produced at such a historical level,you could just they weren't happy being held back by minimal food options and disgruntled hotel guests. Great to see them workand serve amazing dishes even after all this time. Read more

Great brunch. Bacon and eggs, waffles and Eggs Benedict are their specialties. Food was fantastic. Great decor and very... reasonable pricing. Actually the same price as most diners but the quality is much better. Not sure why I would go anyplaceelse. Great value. Wish they had omlettes though. Everyone in my party was very happy with their meal and value. Read more

Didn’t taste like much unfortunately! I never add salt to my food at restaurants but def. added a lot this time around. But..... Ottawa isn’t really known for its outstanding breakfast joints though so. Read more

We made reservations here a few weekends ago and the restaurant didn’t disappoint! The service was excellent and the... atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered sushi as our appetizer and it was amazing! My husband ordered the steak and I ordered thepork tenderloin for our main course. Both were great. We would definitely return! Read more

Great option if you’re looking for a slightly elevated restaurant experience in Kanata or staying at the hotel. The menu is... small, but offers a great variety of options including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. Service is great with friendly staffand good turnaround times for food and drink orders.

Our friends treated us for dinner at Perspectives' outdoor patio last Sunday (originally planned for this weekend, but the patio... tables were all booked up). Note that all persons entering the hotel building must wear a mask while in public indoor spaces asrequired by Health Ontario. When we checked in, we needed to scan the bar code to enter our contact information. Then we werebrought to the patio to be seated. (We can choose to be seated inside the restaurant as well. But we preferred to sit in thepatio for better air circulation .) I ordered their Table D'Hote menu. Few ordered from the Starter and Main menu (see photosfor what we ordered). Now my review would be based on food taste, service and ambiance aspect: 1) Food Taste andPresentation: Food taste was alright. One dish (seared Scallops) received 4.5 star rating. My salad tasted good while the ArcticChar fish was ok and I gave 3.5 star rating (I would like to give 4 star rating. But then I think the kitchen chefs used toomuch MSG to enhance the food taste. I felt so thirsty at night and during my sleep. My husband also felt the same. He said theMSG level was too much and was more than the food in the Chinese restaurant. Not acceptable!). The triple chocolate mousse myhusband ordered was very tasty (4.5 stars). But my Apple Cobbler with vanilla ice cream was a bit too sweet for my teeth. 2)Service: I understand that staff shortage is a problem for many restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic time. The patio tableswere served by one server with her assistant. We asked for cutlery (knives and forks) and our server kept forgetting it. Myhusband had to use the tea spoon for his soup. Our water bottle wasn't filled. Basically the service wasn't attentive. Butagain, we understand this due to staff shortage. But I think my friend still gave good tips that made her smile! 3)Ambiance: That night was very hot. We sweated while we ate. As the sky got darker, our legs got bitten by mosquitos. Well, i Read more

Nice dining option in Kanata The restaurant is located inside the beautifully decorated resort style Brookstreet Hotel. Great... ambiance, friendly staff, free coat check, tasteful decor. However food selections are limited, although they do offer a 3course table d’hote menu. Drink choices also limited. Service was very slow for a 1/4 filled restaurant. Still a good placefor group gatherings in Kanata, it’s not like that we have many more choices sigh. Read more
