Blue Cactus - Ottawa

This may have been the worst meal I have ever eaten in Ottawa. We booked as a last minute reservation. Instant mashed potatoes, the rice tasted like uncle ben's. The chicken was greasy and hard to keep down. The old fashioned was made with a bunch of ice cubes like a soft drink. Bill was $94. Don't waste your money honestly. It just tasted like frozen and prepackaged food from the 90s.

Girls night in Ottawa, found Blue Cactus on Trip Advisor. Waitress Jasmine was fantastic !!

The steak was on point and the drinks were delicious. Would recommend the Lime margarita.

When ready to order, they decided to tell us the kitchen was closed. Food was coming out the the kitchen all around us. Drinks were just ok Got free popcorn

Blue Cactus was a great place for a nice Valentine's Day dinner. Food was tasty and well portioned, as were the drinks. Seating was a bit disappointing there appeared to be plenty available with desirable views of the Byward Market, but we ended up tucked away near the kitchen, despite having a reservation. Steak was cooked well, but a little cold by the time it came to us. Overall, 4/5, good experience and will return.
