If you like seafood absolutely and if you don't you have other choices all very good.

What an absolutely amazing experience to eat at this restaurant. The food is gourmet quality with diner portions. I've rarely been so satisfied and happy at a restaurant. The drinks, ambiance, decor and staff are all top level. I am passing through town but am a little jealous of the people that live here. I would eat at this place weekly (or more) if I could. There are not many places like this. Very grateful to the owners and chefs and staff in the kitchen that make this place exist and provide such a taste experience. Don't miss it if you have the opportunity to eat here.

Food is delicious, great atmosphere, and very attentive staff 😋
First off, waiter was nice and understanding regarding the first issue.
Calamari was chewy, even after asking for a fix. Seasoning was nice, the tentacles were perfectly done. Portion could be a tad bigger but good prices are going up so maybe ok.
Asked for one of the fish specials and got the Cajun blackened version, I could only taste salt. Lots of seasoning =\= lots of salt. At this point I just ate as fast as possible, paid and left. I didn't want to stretch it out any longer
On the plus side the coconut rice was nice.
Price to performance here is way off. I can see what you're going for but the quality just isn't there yet.
Owner, I know you might want to respond to this defensively (as seen in other responses) and say something about fixing it in person, but some of us are pussies and we chicken out after sending back one plate 👍 having to send back two is just honestly embarrassing.
I think the place has potential, but i suggest you sit down and actually taste the food coming out of your kitchen. Maybe I had a legendarily bad combination, but if you're gonna bill yourself as a high quality seafood restaurant, this stuff shouldn't've happened. I mean Olive Garden can handle calamari! Why can't you?

I would have never expected to find a place like this in a town as small as Ottawa. I happened to drive past The Beach House while exploring downtown. I had the privilege of trying the Oysters Rockefeller here and I was AMAZED! I was very impressed with the portion size. I am a bigger guy and I can put down a decent amount of food, but the 5 oysters I ordered and a cocktail was a meal for me.
As far as the price goes, I was also impressed. I paid about $35 for a delicious meal and cocktail that I would have paid double for in Chicago.
My waitress was very friendly and hospitable, and the banana old fashioned she served me was hands down one of the best cocktails I've ever had. I even took pictures of the place to show my friends, to compell them to take a trip to Ottawa with me. A gentleman who I believe was the owner commented on the fact that I had taken pictures, so if you happen to read this I promise I had no nefarious intentions, sir. Your staff and your restaurant are wonderful and I look forward to returning!

Awesome upscale beach theme. Cold draft beer and cozy atmosphere.

Oysters were excellent, as was the octopus. The lobster tail was overcooked. It is a very pricey item to cook badly and then serve. We were there meeting family because it's about halfway between where we live and we have loved our previous visits. After the meal we wanted to order desserts. We were told that we had to go next door to get desserts. Apparently, the owner opened a gelato and bakery next door and wanted everyone to go there for desserts. We are were told that taking our bill there would give us a 20% discount on desserts. We thought that was not a terrible marketing idea, so we went. It turns out it was actually a couple of doors down, not that big a deal. However, once inside, we discovered there was one couch and 4 stools for seating. That was the extent of what they could accommodate. There were already people seated so there wasn't room for our party. I wasn't going to eat tiramisu standing, and the seats were already taken. We were then told the discount only applied to gelato and not to any other desserts. That is why I rated the atmosphere and service low. I was treating the 2 businesses as if they were a single restaurant since that's they way they wanted to operate. Our server at Beach House was actually very good, but the experience was soured by the way It ended. We'll still be meeting in Ottawa but at a different restaurant.
