   Really disappointing experience. Booked in advance for a birthday and had to put credit card details to reserve seats with threat of 25$ charge if the reservation was cancelled. The reservation was made to try different scotch/ whiskeys because of the 'scotch lounge' advertising and the extensive whiskey/ scotch menu posted online. Had to wait 10 minutes after arriving before anyone came to the front of house or acknowledged people waiting at the door. There was no food left, and it felt like the entire evening was spent waiting for a drink (the server came around for a second round when the band had one song left after we had to go to the bar to get our first round of drinks because we had waited 25 minutes after being seated). After going up to the bar and asking about the scotch/ whiskey menu, was informed that there was no menu and it was more of 'you get what you get'. The band was phenomenal and made up a lot of the experience, but will not be returning as a result of the misleading advertising and abysmal service.

   We are not fans of your new menu. We would like to see a charcuterie board returned as an option. We also enjoyed your previous grilled cheese sandwiches and would like to see that item returned to your menu as well. Thank you.

   You don't have a reasonable food menu. You're always out of items. People coming for shows at 7:30 might want a light meal. Plus except for the hi-top tables and the bar, eating at those little low tables is very awkward. How can you not have a sandwich press that works? The music was fabulous as always and the service was good.

   Apparently Montgomery is no longer Montgomery.. they used to have over 100 scotches and now it’s a random bar running under a different name. Really false advertising having folks book under Montgomery and expecting the same experience, and then finding out it’s just another bar with really slow service. Really sad to see one of the few scotch bars in ottawa disappear.

   I did not eat the food so cannot comment on that. We specifically went to the lounge to see and LISTEN too the musicians that were booked - paying $15 each for the cover. Unfortunately, during the entire 1 hour set (of some great musicians by the way) we could hear people in the back of the bar talking very loudly -- significantly impacting on our enjoyment of the music. When we talked to the staff about it, they said they would speak to the people but it doesn't seem that they did as the talking continued until my husband went back to do it himself. Needless to say we were thoroughly annoyed and we weren't the only ones! If this is the way the Oat Couture is managing a music venue then I would recommend that interested individuals go elsewhere for a better experience. Perhaps the Oat Couture needs to decide what they want the lounge to be - a music venue at times or a bar. If they continue with music then we would suggest that before the set is due to start, the staff make an announcement to turn off cell phones and respect the silence while the musicians are playing.

   From the Scotch, to the music, to the ambience, to the service, to the entertainment, Montgomery Scotch Lounge was an amazing experience. Special thanks to Leslie our server, and the band. You both made our evening out a remeberable experience! Till next time!

   This restaurant recently moved location, and unfortunately, Uber guided us to the original location. After hopping into another car and arriving to the correct location we discovered the venue was actually closed despite having been able to make a reservation on OpenTable and confirming on the website with the venue is open on Thursday. Huge bummer really disrupted our night.

   Louis was fantastic. The real deal with a wee authenticity. Thanks for your help & knowledge choosing our flights!

   Some of their scotches, especially the fancier ones (so exactly those we'd be there to taste as they're the ones we don't own at home) aren't currently available as they're "redoing" their menu (or are they closing the lounge?) Their scotch-based cocktails weren't fantastic, and certainly lacked some creativity. Acoustic wasn't the best for a jazz show, but what made it really worse is that the people at the table behind us wouldn't stop talking during the performance, so much that we couldn't really enjoy the show (for which we PAID), and no one told them anything about that. Ambiance was lacking. Would not go there again.

    You need to expand your food menu! If people book for 5:30 and/or 7:00 they're expecting a meal!
