My "affair" with Copper Penny began over 4 years ago and I must have been there over several dozen times (I also lived in Kingston for 2 years). And over time, Copper Penny became one of my favorite restaurants, more so than any place in Ottawa and Toronto that I've been to. I don't even know why it took me... More

We were delighted with our dinner on a Friday night at the Copper Penny. (This is the downtown location, not the smaller place in west end at the Bayridge Plaza.) Tammy was our server and she was great fun, and very friendly too. We started with the mushroom caps (the appetizer special that night) -- a terrific starter and very... More

The Copper Penny has an appealing dining room with warm brick and wood features. Two large screens seem out of place. All diners in our party found the flavour a little wanting. My New York striploin had something of a freezer-burn texture. It came smothered in BBQ sauce. Still, it didn't reach the taste I expected. The quesadillas and especially... More

Super value. Four people ate and drank well for $100. Very kind waiter. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The greeter girl was snooty but everything else was so nice she was easy to ignore. More

The food was good for the price, but I found the menu was loaded with pasta, bread, fries, potatoes - which I minimize in my diet. There are very little actual vegetables in the plates. If you are expecting the standard fare, tasty, nothing fancy, at a decent price then this is a great place. The servers are sincere and... More

The meatball sandwich on garlic bread is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Have to agree with another poster that the fries are too salty. Nice place and friendly staff. More

Whenever we thinlk of a place to eat the Penny is always a name that come up. Good food, good service, great location and the best fries in town, bar none! On a date night we like to go to the Copper Penny then to a movie or show and it always a good start to the evening. More
