    Al’s has always been a staple in the Ottawa community. Although this is my first review, I’ve been coming to Al’s since I was a kid with my family and it’s amazing how they keep old traditions alive while ensuring the restaurant keeps with the times. The food is always amazing (the best seafood tower), and the ambiance is great. Will continue coming back!

    Our table/placement wasn’t great even though many other better tables were free the entire time we were there; but otherwise the experience was very good. Food was wonderful! Their salad dressing is fantastic!
