Review: This was definitely in the vein of Ottawa-style pizza, though not quite as thick. The crust had a more cracker-like texture than I expected. The toppings were of reasonably good quality and plentiful. The sauce was quite bland. Rating: 6.6/10

The Senate Tavern – Poutine
Review: The fries seemed to possibly be dredged in flower based on their texture. They were quite crispy. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was good with some beef flavour. Rating: 7.7/10
The Senate Tavern – Burger
Review: This burger came with a nicely crispy smashed patty. It had a slice of cheddar and some bacon. The vegetables were fresh. I thought the bun held up very well and the BBQ aioli was very good. I wish the bun was toasted. Rating: 7.7/10
Stacked – Smoked Meat and Grill – Burger
Review: The burger featured a large (close to 8 oz.) patty that was grilled to well-done. It was topped with a slice of processed cheese. There was a generous amount of perfectly cooked bacon. The somewhat generic bun was lightly toasted. The vegetables were appropriately proportioned. Rating: 7.4/10
Stacked – Smoked Meat and Grill – Poutine
Review: The fries were standard-cut with the skin-on. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was thicker with a good, beefy flavour. Rating: 7.1/10
Il Vicolo – Pizza
Review: This looked like a Neapolitan-style pizza but it was actually quite different. The crust was a little bit thicker and a little less chewy than a typical Neapolitan pizza. The toppings were of good quality with the cheese being a little salty. The sauce tasted a little more like tomato paste, but not in …
Pub 101 – Poutine
Review: This had skin on fries. There was a lot of shredded cheese in this poutine. Unfortunately, the gravy was a little watered down and lacked the oomph that the poutine required. Rating: 6.2/10
Pub 101 – Burger
Review: The bun was very nice with a little more body than most. The patty was well cooked but not very flavourful. There was a slice of cheddar on it. My least favourite part of the burger was that it used mixed greens instead of a proper lettuce. Rating: 6.5/10
Level One Game Pub – Poutine
Review: The poutine had real skin-on fries cooked to a nice crispy texture. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was pretty much standard fare. Rating: 7.6/10
Level One Game Pub – Burger
Review: This burger had thin patties which were crispy on the outside yet still cooked medium on the inside. It had a lot of cheddar cheese. Some nice crispy onions and a BBQ sauce. It also had lettuce. It all came on a brioche-style bun. I enjoyed it, but I feel like a mayo-based sauce …
