Was a nice day so we sat on the patio and enjoyed a drink, we had smoke meat and my guest had a chicken quesadilla, my smoke meat came in a burger bun but it was very good, would certainly order again.

My family and I were visiting Ottawa on July 19th and saw this restaurant from across the river at a look out and decided to drive across and give it a try. We did come just as dinner was happening so we did have to...wait a while before we could get a table as it was packed on the patio. We got a nice table on the outdoor covered patio and had a nice view of the river and surroundings. We had a pitcher of red sangria, iced teas, smoked meat sandwich, poutine, garlic bread with cheese and vegetable quesadilla, chicken burger. All was good and we received excellent service from our waitress- Marite...as she spoke some English and we spoke some French - we had a good laugh with each other when ordering. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will come back again when we are in the area. Thank you to Marite for laughing at my broken french mixed with Spanish. It was a fun time!!!More

Rude Dock Attendant (again). Big storm. Lightening. Heavy Rain. We pulled in to tie up for shelter from the storm (we had our sides/screens all up but visibility was low). He came running down saying “you can’t dock here. It’s private”. We said we just...wanted to wait out the storm and he again said “no it’s private”. He made us leave. In a storm. Unreal. I’ve seen at least 3 posts about this guy. NOT recommended!More

Awful slow service, combined with less than average food and portions. Why is this place still open? Ever pirates wouldn't eat here. Worse offense: Ordering a pizza with side salad for $18, and receiving the equivalent of 2 pieces of pizza. No bounty here.

We spent a nice evening at this establishment, watching the river and enjoying simple but good food. We had poutine traditional, fish and chips, and hamburgers. Everyone enjoyed the evening and the food.

Terrible service, poor food, overpriced. Slowest service I’ve experienced for a long time. They try to get you to buy alcohol by only giving you a drink menu until you order a drink and when we didn’t order alcohol it was clearly not liked. Took...25 minutes to even order our food. Food is overpriced but cheap quality. Reminds me of the kind of place you’d get in Cancun. Although it is pirate themed it is not really a family restaurant in my opinion even on a Monday. Music and music videos playing on tv not kid appropriate. Kids menu very limited. Perhaps on the weekend it’s a party place. Just not the kind of place I’d take my kids again but also wouldn’t return in any situation.More

A group of five of us pulled up in our boat and parked at one of the several empty spots on the dock that said “Restaurant Parking”. We tied off our boat and started to get out. A man from the restaurant came over and...said they were full. We said “okay we’ll park for 15 Minutes order food and get it to go and leave” he again said no and we had to leave. We then said “okay, you’re full, so why does it matter that we’re parked here? We can’t just go order and get it to go?” Again he replied “no”. My brother-in-law then asked for his name and he was refused. He asked again and the man rudely said “why do you need me name? What? You want to go on a date or something?” I am floored that he would speak to potential customers like that. He can’t even let us park for 15 minutes to order and leave? The dock wasn’t even full. Extremely unimpressed with this person. Whomever he was (we think his name may have been Pierre when we noticed a name tag at the last second) needs some serious training and a lesson in customer service. We will not be recommending this place nor will we try to go back. I strongly recommend if anyone decides to go here make sure you have other options and don’t let anyone speak to you this way.More

Wonderful terrace overlooking the Ottawa River, and many boats passing by. Literally minutes away from downtown Ottawa, you can absorb the beauty of Point Gatineau. A limited menu of seafood selections, pasta, burgers and fajitas. Of course geared toward Quebecois tastes. Nice wine selection and...domestic brews. All in all a wonderful evening with friends. The food is good, but do not expect haut cuisine. Just go there and enjoy a waterfront scene which is we don't have many gere in Ottawa-Gatineau.More

The location is superb, view is amazing, people are friendly! Now the restaurant is very avarage, kind of very slow service, make sure you have enough time. Food is alright, nothing to wow about! Okay prices. I think most come for the view and location.

The restaurant has a huge terrace with an excellent view during the summertime. The food is OK, nothing special.

This place is worth visiting. The menu is pretty average priced for what you get and the food is good. Couple of beers and two pasta meals was $72 with tip and taxes. The service was excellent and the view is really nice. I wish...they had a better beer selection, not many options and all mass produced "average" beers. Given the 60 or so craft breweries in Ottawa now it is hard for a small place on the Quebec side of the river to compete but QC has some great craft breweries too and that would have been a nice upgrade for them to have here. It is a big place - huge covered patio so no worries about getting a good table. You definitely come here for the view and the rest is icing on the cake.More

The location of this restaurant is just perfect for anyone arriving by boat. The restaurant has a HUGE terrace and my kids LOVE the pirate decorations. Our favorite are the fajitas. The food is consistent, and always good. We keep coming back mostly because of...the marina. Agathe, the restaurant owner is always happy to see us. However, the service is very slow...if you are in a rush, this is not a place for you.More

We made reservations as we were time sensitive by going by boat. When we arrived we waited to be seated but no one came over to us. We tried get staff attention but were completely ignored. After about half hour we sat down. Waiter friendly...but took awhile to get our drinks and got up to find the menu ourselves. Food took well over another hour after that. We tried getting home by boat in the dark. The food prices were average but the food was amazing. They need to focus on customers better.More
