Booked 3 times today
The Prescott, located at the corner of Beech and Preston Street in Ottawa, is one of the oldest licensed drinking establishments in the city, with roots tracing back to 1934. Originally the Preston Hotel, it was renamed The Prescott in 1941, symbolizing its role as the last watering hole between Ottawa and Prescott, 100 km down the highway. During WWII, co-owner Giuseppe Costantini, an Italian-Canadian, was interned by the Canadian government as an "enemy alien," temporarily shutting down the hotel. Despite these challenges, The Prescott continued under the sole ownership of his partner, Antonio Disipio, and became a fixture in the community. Over the years, it has hosted family events, sponsored sports teams, and remained an iconic spot for locals. Today, it stands as a retro eatery, preserving its legacy and charm as a cornerstone of Preston Street.

    Been several times now before an event at the NAC, so close to the venue. Menu has many great options to choose from, and this past visit, the server recommended a change in a menu item so that our dairy-free needs could be met. Quiet environment, nice change from very loud restaurants where you can't hear your fellow diners over the music and the crowd. We find it abit expensive, but we tell ourselves it's a treat, it is the Lord Elgin restaurant. On that note, i find the online reservations system weird - telling me only two options were available for reservations, yet when i called directly i was able to get a time/table that i wanted. And once there, we saw many empty tables, not reserved so perhaps the Hotel keeps some tables unreservable so that hotel guests have priority access. We will go back again before or after attending events at the NAC.
