The ambience is very cozy.
Their service is quitely good.
I love this place !! I have been going to this restaurant for a few years I never had a bad meal every thing I order from mussels to fish and chips to sushi . The food is fresh and excellent !! The Calamari is to die for. The Service always comes with a smile and prompt . Ive introduced many people to this restaurant and they have loved it too and now they make it a regular affair to eat there .
Came here for a Birthday Dinner. The ambience of the place is very cosy. We were a big group and they accommodated us by having two tables. The variety of food that they have was great. Ranging from seafood grills, to appetizers... and don’t be fooled they have a dessert menu you just have to ask the waiters what it is, they change it up (I think). I ordered the grilled calamari which was very tasty and had two oysters; which were fresh! I then ordered the maple and sesame salmon, with roasted potatoes on the side. The potatoes and veggies were delicious. And the salmon was cooked to perfection. Overall I recommend this place! The staff was very friendly as well.
I had a great bouillabaisse here before but this one today lacked some zip. But the fish and seafood in the broth was fresh and plentiful. The broth was a bit bland. Two of us had the bouillabaisse! another friend had scallops that were good but not outstanding. The side dishes were cooked to perfection. Rosemary potatoes and veggies. The best part of the meal were the crab cake appetizers. A 5. !!!! We also shared fried smelts. I am not fond of these but my brother loved this dish. They were delicious!!!! My friend had tartufo lemon ice that was most refreshing.
Honestly, was not expected much when I first came to this place, but the food was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely some of the best seafood I've had in the city.
Best seafood in Ottawa. The fish is fresh and delicious. I once brought someone here who hates seafood and he loved the breaded shrimp and always wants to go for shrimp now. Be warned the dining room is tiny and crowded so if you do not like small places this might not be for you.
So, i was craving a good clam chowder. A search on the net and Zomato directed me to this restaurant. What a great place. I was not expecting a fancy dining room full of people just after noon. The clam chowder was excellent. My co-worker loved the halibut fish & chips. I will definitely go back to have a proper meal there and probably buy some fresh seafood.
Came here based on the reviews. The fish and chips was pretty good and fresh. If you're not a fan of stuffy dining rooms, I'd say move on to the next fish restaurant.
No surprise to see a line up when we arrived here for dinner on a Friday night. We asked if we could eat at the bar which meant we waited only 5 minutes. Our meal began with calamari - very, very good! The calamari was fresh, lightly breaded and the portion was more than generous. My photo only shows half the portion. I had the seafood linguine. There were clams all the way around the dish! Shrimp and scallops too. The pasta was beautifully cooked and the sauce perfect for the dish. My husband had the paella and thoroughly enjoyed it. We chatted with the owner while we ate, it is a favourite neighbourhood spot. We enjoyed it very much and will be back again, and again.
If you are looking for calamari that melts In your mouth this is the place to go! I've never been disappointed with their calamari or grouper! Foods amazing but there's not much seating and the place is usually packed.
The best seafood restaurant I have ever been to. Absolutely everything from the menu is delicious, I had no complaints. The fish and chips were perfect, it wasn't crazy battered so you can actually see and taste the fish. Highly recommend getting the sweet potato fries, they are the best I've ever had. The clam chowder was delicious, so was the calamari and the crab cakes with a sweet mango chutney like dip. Highly, highly recommend. You also know everything is fresh here since you can buy the seafood right next door!
Really loved the crab cakes from the Merivale Fish Market restaurant! It eas flavorful, good texture and had a nice crunch. Also, really loved the fish and chips. It’s a classic but so delicious. It came with a pile of fries and coleslaw. The batter was light and crispy, and the fish was flaky and buttery. It was savoury and very tasty.
Excellent seafood here, especially Oysters🦪, fresh and plump! Oysters are not on the menu, don’t forget to ask the waitress what’s new today for off-menu dishes from the market next door. They’re owned by the same owner.
Reasonable price. We really like it here!

I find myself in the Nepean area of Ottawa often when searching for value eats, or for the huge variety of bubble tea available in this area, and have always wanted to try Merivale Seafood Grill!
I've purchased their fresh seafood products before (sushi-grade salmon/tuna, as well as their oysters), and found them very fresh and fairly priced. So I finally dropped by to dine-in on their outdoor patio on a gorgeous day!
.
I actually went on two different occasions recently, and will share all the dishes I tried!
.
Appetizer - Calamari ($17): I kept seeing the calamari in their Google reviews, and had to get it. I was not disappointed - it was a good amount, tender, and the batter was light and not thick.
.
Soups - Tony's Bouillabaisse ($22): This was so good, I had it TWICE on two separate days. The broth is rich but light and tomato-based, with a generous amount of seafood (fish, mussels, shrimp). The portion was a good size, and was so comforting.
.
Mains - Pescatore ($35) Linguine, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, rosé sauce: This REALLY hit the spot for seafood pasta. The sauce was flavourful, and it had a good amount of seafood. I'd say portions here are good value overall, and the seafood is SUPER fresh.
.
Mains - Lobster Poutine (~$18?) This was one of the recent Blackboard specials, and if you know me, you know I LOVE poutine, so I HAD to try this, as I love lobster as well. It was a really interesting take on a poutine, with a lighter sauce, well-cooked fries, and chunks of lobster. So good, I finished it all in one go on my own!
Pro tip: make sure to check their Blackboard specials on the inside of the restaurant, as they'll often have unique dishes not on their regular menu! The dipping sauce had a nice kick as well.
.
I recommend dining on their outdoor patio if it's a nice day, as it is covered, and cooler than the interiors.
.
Next time, I want to try their crab cakes, Paella, and grilled fish!
Omg this place is awesome! Hidden gem in Ottawa!
Paella and fish soup (forgot the name) were delicious!
I wish there was something like a 7 course sampling menu from them, I would pay good money to be able to try more dishes!
I went to the Seafood Grill because of the reviews. They were not wrong. After a short wait we got our table in this cozy restaurant. I ordered the Pescatore Pasta, which had an amazing rose sause loaded with seafood. The sause was so great that I ate it with a spoon after the pasta was done. It was the best rose I have ever had. My husband had the cod fish and chips which is the best he's had in the region. The prices are reasonable and if there is a wait, it's worth it. I'll be back.
One of the best seafood place in ottawa. The sushi was also great and cheap. The place was filled when we were there in the evening.. The staffs were also nice. They have a fish market within the restaurant were we can buy fresh uncooked fish aswell.
Wow! Been a while since we had a great seafood dinner. Highly recommend. The family loved the good. The wife had paella. The son had Pescadore (noodles and mussels). I had fish and chips. Paella had a great subtle spicy flavor. The Pescadore had a smooth tomato sauce. The fish and chips were light and heavenly. One thing is a definite must have...the appetizer calamari. Loved the breading and the flavor. Highly recommend. Unfortunately no reservations taken. So get there early.
