The Hard Rock Cafe in Ottawa’s Byward Market is just one in a huge chain of restaurants with locations around the world. Despite the fact that the general culinary theme reflects the American southwest, the empire had its beginnings, I was surprised to learn, in London, England.
The selection of food available in these places is generally family restaurant fare, with the obligatory nachos and Chicken wings, but they also do a bit of a line in smokehouse delicacies as well. In general, the menu is not one that would tempt me especially but the Byward Market restaurant has a nice outdoor patio with a pleasant view and so, on a very hot and humid day, I decided to see what they could do with a steak…
The Food
12oz New York strip with Merlot Butter... Rating: 2 out of 5
Overall: The ambience at Hard Rock Cafe is very pleasant and the staff well trained and efficient. However, my meal was barely mediocre and I do not plan to return any time soon to any of their locations. Nonetheless, I had a fairly nice time there, so I give the place a somewhat grudging 3/5

Yuck. Worst place ever. :( I do not recommend AT ALL unless you wanna dish a pretty penny for generic sandwiches.
My french dip sandwich was dry and too salty. My boyfriends club sandwich wasn't really much of a club sandwich, either, he said it was dry.
The cocktails (daiquiri and pina colada) were watered down and not very icy.
The parents got fajitas and pulled pork sandwiches. They said it was good, but I guess we were the unlucky ones?
