Nice spot for a tasty fish dinner! Friendly atmosphere and service. The seafood platter was very well presented and better than I expected!Dietary restrictions: They were very helpful when presented with a fairly restricted diet (gluten-free, onion and garlic-free and dairy-free). That meal too was very tasty!

We had a last-minute reservation, and we were a big group. They were able to fit us in. Great menu, not TOO much, just the perfect amount of choices. Staff were friendly and even offered my kids paper and crayons to kill time. We had calamari. My 5 year old had a whole plate of lobster ravioli to herself. And my 2 year old had the fish and chips. I had a surf and turf myself. Nothing to complain about, it was all delicious! The whole group had an amazing dinner!

Visiting from the Maritimes, we were skeptical about eating seafood in Ottawa, but we thought we’d try it out while visiting our son in The Glebe. It wasn’t very busy on the Sunday night when we were there so I thought perhaps the seafood might not be fresh but I was wrong. My husband and son had the crab cakes, halibut, and seafood linguine and they raved about their meals. I’m not a seafood fan myself so played it safe with the fish and chips and it was very tasty too!

We enjoyed our dinner SO much. For my husband's birthday we found this amazing best kept secret in Ottawa. He had the seafood platter and I the seafood linguine. I was floored by the flavor and amount of seafood in my pasta. We enjoyed every single morsel. The service was impeccable and I really enjoyed the wine selection too. My husband's dish was fantastic. Every single thing was delicious. The eclectic and unique atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. Every patron in house seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their meals as well. We will definitely be back.

So happy that this restaurant survived the pandemic. We’ve been a few times in the last year and the food is excellent. Fresh oysters to start, always delicious, tonight I had blackened swordfish and it was so good. The crab, mango, avocado salad is lovely. Have had the cod before and it was great. Staff are low key but efficient, and attentive, not gushing all over you. We will always come back. Recommend to our friends and family.

Our dinner of PEI mussels in a tasty wine sauce plus seafood salads was absolutely delicious! Service was efficient, friendly and we will return soon. Can’t beat the prices!

We visited for a family dinner. The menu was extensive and the range of fish was great. The garlic shrimp is unbelievable and the calamari was excellent.Unfortunately, our server seemed to be very agitated or not really happy about having to serve us. He was quite nice with the other patrons but not too sure what his issue was with us.His demeanour took away from what could have been a lovely experience

We have been coming here for approximately 30 years. The quality of the food and the service has always been exceptional.We had the spring rolls as an appetizer, Thai curried shrimp and the jumbo garlic shrimps for our main. Everything was fresh and very tasty.It’s rare that we see a restaurant maintain such a level of quality for decades.Highly recommended.
