Back to Brooklyn Restaurant

Honestly the best vibe! Staff is super nice and happy hour bogo drinks is amazing. Every cocktail we had was incredible and the staff were super attentive and kind. Definitely recommend! Didn’t try food but would definitely give it a go in the future! Also amazing playlist

I have been to this bar many times. It is a small bar with a small space in between table and chairs where patrons use for dancing. It is up and down ranging from busy to very quiet. Sometimes, it is free admissions but sometimes they charge $10 cover on a busy night which is not too bad compared to the one across the street (Room 104 bar charges $20 if you are well dressed and they assess that you can afford it). Bartenders are nice and fast serving and the security is polite and nice too. The atmosphere can range from quiet to sometimes dynamic on Saturday nights. It has a younger crowd and the ratio of girls to guys is fair almost equal. I come here during the half-hour dance breaks from nearby Lookout bar. Even in this short time there are sometimes girls who initiate dancing with me which is great. Last night I danced with group of 8 to 10 all beautiful Persian girls where I shouted Women, Life Freedom (feminist slogan in Persia) they cheered me up and danced with me with lots of hugs and kisses. Victory to brave lion-hearted Iranian women for standing up for equality and freedom of choice against evil. Feminism lives forever.

I had duck wings and several drinks at Back to Brooklyn, and had an excellent time. The duck was superb. The staff were friendly, engaging, and fun. I tried several excellent cocktails at their recommendation. I was there for dinner, but clearly after 10 o'clock is when the party starts. A whole other vibe. I did not stay to see the 'Latin ladies night' theme that Thursday, but I was assured it can be 'fun' and 'rowdy'. A very classy place with an upscale vibe; while also being very welcoming. An excellent evening out in Ottawa.

We were able to get a last minute table after originally being turned away. The hostess called us back a few minutes after we hung up as she was able to rearrange something for us. They use QR code menus here which was easy enough to navigate. Service was a bit slow given there was only one person working the entire dining room - she was great nonetheless. The kitchen closes around 9pm when the place flips over to more of a club with a DJ setting up as we were wrapping up our meal. The cocktails were delicious, the bottles of wine were reasonably priced, and the food options were diverse.

Price: a bit pricey but worth it My experience: the negative reviews are flawed! The food is really good, the drink menu is extensive and there's so much to choose from. The service is friendly and fair wait times, despite it being packed. We did make reservations a day in advance for the outdoor patio. The cheese board is enjoyable, got the large which was a lot for three of us sharing. I tried the strong island which was tasty and strong 😅, the Rudolph and Stormy drink (their version of a Moscow mule I think), and an old fashioned which was my favourite of the 3 drinks. One friend got the Queen's Garden which is the beautiful purple drink with the petals in it. My other friend tried the steak sandwich, which looked and sounded great. My other friends shared the sliders which they also really liked and one other friend got the vegetarian poke bowl which she was surprised at how good it tasted. Found out near the end that they have mulled wine for a warm alcoholic beverage which I highly recommend for the winter patio experience. Love the vibes and art. Music was great Highly recommend this spot and will be back whenever I'm back in Ottawa 🥂

Had a good experience at B2B last night. We had reservations, they were thorough in confirming our reservation. Upon arrival we were quickly seated and the server tended to us right away. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The fig olive and goat cheese flatbread was decadent, I highly recommend it. Plus they have really tasty cocktails 🍸 The ambience is great, although I must say that the music inside was extremely loud. They also have rotating pot lights that shine right into your face which can be unpleasant while trying to have dinner. Altogether, I highly recommend trying B2B.

Went for brunch on a cold November weekend, really like their heated patio dining area. Food was great, eggs cooked perfectly with a jammy yolk👍🏼, my husband had the steak sandwich. Cocktail was good too, white wine sangria had just the right buzz for brunch. Server was attentive and friendly. Reasonable prices.

3 of us had dinner on the patio. The food was delicious and generous portions. 2 of us shared a salad with figs, and had 1/3 left to take home. I had sliders, very tasty. I was full after 1 1/2 sliders, took rest home. Husband had mushroom risotto with steak added in it. Adult son had barbecue chicken pizza. We all enjoyed our meals. Server was very good, attentive and friendly. She gave us a complimentary slice of cheesecake for my husband’s birthday. Suggestions for improvements: There were only 2 types of beer, Corona and one other type. The patio seats seemed too low for the table. The street view was obscured by the horizontal wood panels of the patio; lower panels would allow patrons to see the action of the Byward Market. I recommend this restaurant.

Dont go there even if the music sounds good it's nit a bar format people with who have money . We bought champagne and we have been kick out for no reasons after spending morr than a 1000$ ! They are ownera working over there and if you stay tonoing or your order less well there securit gard will make you kick out for nothing ! Don't go ! Please avoid ! Don't spend your money there! Theybdint deserve it !

Food was terrible with no flavour. We had the filet mignon with roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and mussels with fries. The fries were the only item that actually had flavour. Not worth the cost. Cocktails are good and the staff were friendly.

I have been to Back to Brooklyn 3 times now. And I have not been impressed once. The food is overpriced and not tasty. The chicken on the picture was still pink inside. When I sent it back to the kitchen, the waiter told me that the only way the chicken will be fully cooked is if it is not breaded, otherwise it comes out uncooked. So I asked to have my (un breaded ) chicken to be cooked again. That took 30 min. If the chicken can not be cooked through, it shouldnt even be on the menu. Specillay not for $28. Would not go back. Back to Brooklyn is not serious about covid regulations, no one from my table (8 people) was asked proof of vaccination. The decor on the other side is very nice.

Cool, hip, loud, with lots of sexy Ottawa young people around (I too am very sexy but not young). Service was excellent. Servers were busy but ours (cute blond who's face I wish I could have seen but stupid fucking masks) was attentive and solid. Food was good but not great. Enjoyed our appies of mushroom toast, burrata and tomato, sliders, and yellowfish tataki. All were very tasty. Our friends enjoyed the duck main and wifey and I split the chicken and waffles (she loved it but I was just ok with it). Drinks were good. Martinis and cocktails. $128 bill and we left $27 tip. Good spot and would return. Great to see the Market poppin!

Went here because there were many people sitting outside. Must say this was one of the most underwhelming spots I have been to. That flatbread pizzas were not horrible, but were not good either. Reminded me of a frozen pizza that cost me $20. The drinks were meh as well. Would skip on this place, not sure why there were people sitting there.

I always walked by this restaurant in Byward Market and have been wanting to try it for months, and I'm glad I did. I went on a Friday night with 3 other friends and ordered drinks and food. Food - Flavour and price 5/5: I got the B2B burger (not keto style) with kettle chips for $18 and it was absolutely delicious! The truffle mushrooms and sun dried tomato pesto gave the burger a very tasty unique flavour. The kettle chips were also a nice change from the typical fries you get with a burger. Definitely worth the price and would order again! I also tried the mushroom flatbread which was very good! My friend doesn't really like arugula but enjoyed this since the parmesan and mushrooms masked the taste of the arugula. I would order this for myself next time. Drinks - Flavour and price 4.5/5: I got the Mojito ($13) which was delicious and probably one of the best mojitos I've ever had. Would most definitely order this again! I tried a sip of my friends drink, the Queens Garden ($17) which was delicious but a bit pricy for the portion. Glad I tried it but probably wouldn't order again due to the high price. I also got a glass of red sangria for $13 and it was fine, a little less sweet than I like. Probably wouldn't order it again. But I would definitely try their more unique drinks in their menu next time. Service and ambiance 5/5: The service was pretty good, friendly staff and food came pretty quick, under 30 minutes. My friends and I sat at the front patio on a day that was around -2 degrees outside and was not cold at all due to the excellent warm heaters. I loved the ambiance of the front patio, it felt almost "exclusive". The indoor of the restaurant was also very nice and serene with the dark mood lighting and flowers on the ceiling. Overall, I had a great food and at a fair price, delicious drinks that were a bit pricy, on a cool patio. I look forward to going back once covid lockdown ends and further exploring other drinks and food on their menu. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a nice night out with friends and want to try unique nice drinks and good food.

What a refreshingly gorgeous in the market. Food and service were both excellent. Chicken sandwich was my favorite. Will definitely be back. 5 star

Did not enjoy back to Brooklyn. On all fronts disappointing. We each paid 45$ for a 14$ bottle of Prosecco for bottomless mimosas. This was the only place with spots open for brunch and I know why. The food was not good. The mushroom Benny had pickled mushrooms for some reason and a truly sad excuse for a "hollandaise" that was so watery with absolutely no flavour. Borderline gross. Potato's we're fine. The servers was kind but overall they were not really concerned with the as guests more on mingling with one another at the bar. At this point in those I can not recommend.

Only place in the By Market with seats available. After stopping there, we understand the lack of patrons. Yuck. Waitress was so involved with being pretty and flicking her hair she could barely speak or move. Bartender was so impressed by said waitress he forgot to pour drinks. Food was small, very small, but ok. We shared a small plate for $18 and I had a glass of house wine (my husband had water). The bill was $47!!!!! Tourist trap! Avoid! Forgot to mention the deafening music and lack of cleanliness. I know I already said yuck but... YUCK!

Came here for a birthday, was a phenomenal experience. They brought out all the stops. Birthday drinks, roses, and patio heaters. We were honestly a very big crew and quite frankly a menace and they handled us with grace. I highly recommend this and also the martinis are amazing. Came for the drinks, stayed for the amazing staff and drinks.

Never go here! I had the worst experience. The male bouncer was touching up me and my girlfriends. It made us severely uncomfortable before we even walked in the door. I complained to the manager and he argued with me. Then he kicked my friend out for rejecting a creepy guy and he wouldn't let me back in to get my friends. Overall a horrific experience. I've never met such a rude and hostile manager in my life. If you are a women this is not a good place to go.

I have very mixed feelings after my visit here. I came with a friend for a bite and some drinks, and was very impressed with the ambiance. We just had beers, so I can't comment on the drink menu, but the food we had was very good. Our waitress, whom we found out was new, was super sweet, she visited our table several times to check on us, and despite being new there, she was just wonderful. Aside from the music that got turned up way too loud towards the end of the night, the experience with the environment aspect of our visit was great. My problem lies with events that happened towards the end of our night. I went to use the washroom and I LOCKED THE DOOR. I was sitting on the toilet when I hear people try to open the door (again, locked, so they were unable). I then hear a woman tell someone else that, "nobody is in there, unlock the door!", to which I yelled back that there was in fact someone in there (perhaps the music was too loud because they didn't hear me). As I am sitting on the toilet with my pants around my ankles, a gentleman unlocks the door and WALKS IN, he then says, "oh someone IS in here". He turns around and leaves the door open instead of shutting it again, and the woman he was speaking with then opens the door and looks in at me ON THE TOILET. My privacy was completely violated twice, despite me taking the precautions and locking the door while using the bathroom AND yelling at them through the door that the bathroom was occupied. Thankfully I am thick skinned, but I was definitely livid, and I can only imagine how absolutely horrific that may be for other women who have experienced trauma and sexual harassment/violation to have a man barge into the locked bathroom while they're in there, half undressed, and at their most vulnerable. Perhaps KNOCKING may have resolved this problem, instead of just unlocking the door? The conversation I had with them after, while the gentleman apologized, the woman was completely dismissive of her violation. I am still in shock this happened, and don't feel comfortable returning to this restaurant.

The food wasn't fresh. Their staffs are too busy chatting to each other and ignored my request.

I was very happy to come here with a couple close friends (all staying safe and healthy!). The service was great and we were able to order our own bottle and stay within our dedicated space.

Tasty, but small portions. Limited menu (5 starters/snacks, 7 small plates/shareables, 6-7 mains), but keto-conscious. Nice ambiance, interior, and patio. We ordered 2 flat breads ($20 each), steak tartare ($22), and the yellowfin tuna crudo ($18). While the flat breads were listed as mains or larger plates, the steak and tuna were listed as small plates and shareables. I don't see how the flat breads are considered a main with only 4-5 slices and it's not much bigger than the small plates we ordered. For comparison, the flatbreads at Joey are $17 and larger with 6-8 slices. None of us have big appetites and usually a shareable appetizer or small main is enough for each person, but we weren't satiated and opted to go somewhere else for more food there wasn't anything else on the menu we were interested in trying. Overall, it's a nice restaurant, but I don't think I'd return as it was lacking that "wow" factor for me.

We went there for brunch and it was delicious. I ordered the grilled duck sandwich and my husband had B2B Burger. Both dishes were delicious.

Had the chicken burger and got SUPER sick afterwards, definitely won't be going back.
