"Castlegarth's dining style is pure, clean & fresh. Two young chefs serve diners at their best...seared sea scallops - magnificent, fat, milky sweet ones...filet of fresh rainbow trout is buttery, moist inside and the vanilla-bean infused creme brulée is everything a creme brulée should be. Jennifer attends to our table with obvious skill and unaffected charm... Castlegarth's prices are considerably lower than those you'd find in Ottawa and the other great pleasure is the wine list including interesting finds and kind prices."

“For me, everything you need to know about Castlegarth is in a bowl of its pappa al pomodoro... Nothing could more readily transport you to the hills of the Tuscany countryside... What makes it so good?  First of all it’s the heirloom tomatoes grown in astonishing variety up the road on his family’s farm, the source of the lion’s share of the restaurant’s ingredients.  Still warm from the sun, those tomatoes never knew the inside of a refrigerator.  Farm fresh ingredients are one thing, but what Castlegarth offers is the increasingly rare opportunity to taste familiar ingredients as if for the first time.  Perhaps that is what entices Ottawa diners to make the hour long drive to White Lake... there is nothing quite like it.”
