    My first time at Al's and definitely won't be my last! Tina my server was wonderful. The steak and frites were delicious. The portion size was perfect for me. Finished the meal with a large slice of Coconut Cream pie, which is a must have. I will be back next time I am in Ottawa!

    Excellent steak and sides. Done to perfection. Staff were very busy so the revisit rate was a little slow.

    Hadn't been to Al's Steakhouse in years. Steaks were fantastic, the place was buzzing for a Sunday night in November creating a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the restaurant as a steakhouse alternative in Ottawa.

    One of the top 5 steaks I have ever had, even compared to NY, DC, Toronto. Second time here and the same high quality steak and service. Like the smokey old fashioned. Wonderful attentive service. Five stars all around, and a deal compared to other places.
