Options Jazz Lounge At Brookstreet

Options Jazz Lounge At Brookstreet is a restaurant and lounge at 525 Legget Dr in Kanata, Ontario, offering brunch, lunch, dinner and lounge service alongside live jazz performances. The space combines a dining room with an outdoor patio overlooking a golf course, giving guests in Kanata a dining option that pairs a full seasonal menu with a music program running seven days a week.

What guests can expect when they visit

Guests arrive for a sit-down meal built around a menu that changes with the seasons, with the added draw of nightly live jazz that plays through the dining room and lounge alike. The experience is centred on pacing: an unhurried brunch on weekends, a working lunch during the week, and a dinner service that stretches into the evening as the music takes over.

Dining hours and service periods

Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., lunch is served Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and dinner is available daily from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Lounge service bridges the gaps, running daily from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and again from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., so there is a service window covering most of the day.

The room and the patio

The dining space sits just off the main lobby in a contemporary setting, with an outdoor patio available for guests who want to eat while taking in views of the surrounding grounds and the adjacent golf course. A private dining area is also part of the space, which suits small groups looking for a quieter corner away from the main room.

The menu: what's actually on the table

The kitchen works from a contemporary menu built around locally sourced ingredients, spanning starters, handhelds, composed plates, sushi service on select nights, and a dedicated kids' menu. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are marked throughout, and several dishes allow guests to add grilled chicken, salmon or steak.

Starters and salads

The starter list includes a heirloom tomato gazpacho, a burrata salad with heirloom cherry tomatoes and basil oil, a Caesar salad with maple and three-peppercorn bacon, and a green salad built around blackberries, toasted almonds and Manchego cheese. These same salads carry over into the lounge menu's soup and salad section, served from 2:00 p.m. to close.

Handhelds and shareables

Sandwich options include a grilled chicken caprese toastie, a dry-aged prime rib and brisket burger, and a grilled halloumi sandwich for a vegetarian option, each served with a choice of fries or salad. The lounge menu adds a shareables section from 2:00 p.m. to close, with chicken bites and wings available in a choice of sauces, steak bites, a spinach and artichoke dip, poutine made with cheese curds, and coconut shrimp.

Dinner plates and sushi

The dinner menu, served from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., includes a seared ahi tuna bowl, a roast salmon plate with sweet corn puree and grilled asparagus, a ricotta and spinach stuffed pasta, a hand-cut striploin, and a Cornish hen plate. Sushi rolls, including dynamite, spicy tuna, California, a vegetarian roll, smoked salmon, and a chef's combination of sushi or sashimi, are served Wednesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Desserts and the kids' menu

Dessert options include an apple crisp, gelato with rotating daily flavours, a maple crème brûlée, a vanilla pana cotta, and a dark chocolate tart. The kids' menu covers a cheeseburger, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, and a kids' pasta with tomato basil sauce, each served with fries where applicable, alongside simpler options like mixed fruit salad or a warm chocolate brownie.

Live jazz and the overall atmosphere

Live jazz performances run seven days a week, making music as central to the experience as the food itself.

Seasonal rhythm in Kanata

Like much of Kanata, outdoor patio dining tends to follow the region's warmer months, while the indoor dining room and lounge carry the jazz program through the colder stretches of the year. Guests visiting during the winter can expect the same live music format, just shifted indoors, while summer visitors have the added option of patio seating with golf course views.

Services and amenities on-site

Beyond food and music, the location offers amenities aimed at making a visit easy to plan around, whether guests are coming from elsewhere in Kanata or staying on-site.

What's available beyond the menu

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the space, along with electric vehicle charging and heated underground parking for guests arriving by car. Table reservations can be made directly by phone, and a private dining area is available for groups wanting a more contained setting.
