We had fish & chips here recently and the quality really seems to have gone downhill. The two pieces of fish that came with the meal were identical in size and shape and were a bit soggy. This suggests to me that this was something the restaurant bought premade and frozen. I had eaten fish & chips here several times pre-pandemic and the food used to be delicious. Very disappointing.

This is by far the best seafood spot in Ottawa! The vibe was so warm and the service was friendly and quick :) We ordered 12 oysters to start, the merivale roll, the caesar salad and the grouper special was awesome. 10/10 highly recommend

Love, Love, Love Tony's Bouillabaisse 😋
This is one of our daughter's Madeleine and I's favorite restaurant's in Ottawa, where we enjoyed a beautiful daughter and father evening. Where they serve the freshest and most delicious of seafoods, Mediterranean dishes with perfect Sushi on weekends, in a family environment...., her favorite 😋
My daughters know that I choose restaurants where the families in the house, with the passion of making tantalizing foods, who love warming their client's souls in a beautiful ambiance, always with memorable conversations...

Their fish and chips were pretty good, but my sister ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and Tony's bouillabaise and she got food poisoning. We went there yesterday and today she's been at hospital all day.

I had a great experience at the Seafood Grill in Ottawa. The service was excellent – attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The food overall was good, but I wasn’t a big fan of the trout, as it came as a filet and didn’t quite meet my expectations. The atmosphere is fantastic, very welcoming and enjoyable, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality offered. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for good service and a nice dining experience

2025- we had the fish sandwich and overall it was good but heavy from the oil. The location feels run down inside and the fish market is really small. 2018-Great Salmon, Great Wild Halibut Fish and Chips. Problem is, the service is slow and the server never returned for drink refills (pop or beer). Need to wave down the server for anything needed. The server asked us if we wanted bread only after we got our food and then the hot bread arrived when we were pretty much done eating. The bill arrived after we asked and it took aprox. 5-10 minutes to get them to return with the machine for payment.
Amazing cooking, affordable prices, super friendly staff!!! Will come again!!!🤗🫡 Thank you!!!

Fish and Chips were delicious. Fish was battered and fried perfectly, not oily at all. Chips were plentiful, hot and crisp. Our server Megan was awesome, she was prompt, kowledgeable and offered suggestions. Will go again!

My wife and I along with our friends had dinner at the Seafood Grill on the recommendation of Revello an online foodie influencer. This was our first but certainly won't be our last time visiting this wonderful restaurant. Upon walking in you might be taken aback because it's quite understated as a resturant. But right away the service was with a smile which made us all feel as if we were having dinner at any mom's home. You could feel the love and attention placed in preparing our meal. Ravello recommended several items on the menu however we were only able to have a few given our smaller appetite as we get older. We started with the calamari and the shrimp and crab springroll as appetizers. I'm a little more picky than my wife and our friends because I do most of the cooking at home and my wife does all the baking. I found the calamari exceptionally tender without being chewy. I have had poorly prepared calamari before and this was as far from that as you could get. The calamari melted in your mouth and was a effortless chew. I did find the shrimp and crab spring roll underwhelming. The wrapping was very crisp and flakey. However, I found it lacking taste of either the crab or shrimp. They used what looked like canned shrimp and imitation crab. This is only an assumption on my part since it lacked any real tatse. But with that said everyone else at the table just loved the springroll and we all loved the calamari. By the way one order of the calamari was sufficient for 4 and we split 2 springroll between the four of us. This was plenty as a starter because we planned on having a meal as well. We then moved onto our main coarse I had the octopus and my wife had the salmon cakes. I will comment on these two because I also able to taste my wife's salmon cakes aswell (get your mind out of the gutter). I have had octopus in Spain and Portugal which was not just fantastic but exceptionally so. I am comparing the octopus we had at the Seafood Grill to those and this stands up to the test. I suspected that if I left the octopus in my mouth long enough it would devolve on its own. The braised octopus was the best I have ever tasted in the Ottawa area. I would highly recommend the octopus to anyone even if you don't eat octopus go with someone that does and try a bite. I can't recommend this dish more to everyone who loves octopus. The taste I had of the salmon cake I found it very good and my wife just loved it based on her comments during dinner. The two pieces were large so she took one home for later. Our friends also enjoyed their meal immensely. All I can say is that if you are a Seafood lover I would go to the resturant hungry and try as many of the items as you can to see what hits your palate. Our appetite only allowed us the luxury of having the calamari, springroll, braised octopus and salmon cakes. On our next visit I will expand our meal to include these items we missed this time around. I also count the service as part of the meal experience which was fantastic we were cared for like we were eating at a Michelin star resturant. 🌟 This made the meal that much more delicious and made me want to go back. All I can tell you is that to fully enjoy your meal show up to your dining experience hungry otherwise you will miss out on a fully enjoying a fantastic meal. Finally, the bill was presented in an innovative manner where innovation is used all too frequently. I have not seen another resturant that presents the bill laying it out in the following manner. Wine $50 Food $120 Beers $20 This gives me a clear idea what I spent our money on during the evening. I consider this innovation at it best. As you can tell I would highly recommend the Seafood Grill to anyone but specifically to those that are seafood lovers. Thank you for a Wonderful dinner and a pleasant surprise.

Great place for fresh fish and chips. We don't go as often as we should. It is a bit of a drive from our house, but worth it.

Great food and service! It was busy (but a Friday night) when we went and they were going to have a huge group coming in but they still made time and room for us. The food was delicious, and the servers were great, everyone was so nice!
