This was my second time at this restaurant and both times I enjoyed my food. The owners and the…read morestaff are very warm, kind and welcoming. The first visit the restaurant was crowded and busy with two large parties (both very lively and friendly). This visit was quiet with about four tables occupied with sit down guests. There seemed to be a lot of pick up orders as quite a few people came in for food and left. The restaurant is very clean with lots of light coming in from the window and doors. It's a casual setting but you could dress up and still feel comfortable. I will definitely go back to this restaurant on my future visits to Ottawa.

My partner and I shared a bowl of the clam chowder and it was spectacular. Almost wish I had gotten my own bowl, haha. We also got the PEI muscles in the garlic white wine sauce and the shellfest special seafood paella. The muscles were amazing and the calamari on top of the paella were delectable.

If you enjoy fresh seafood, this restaurant is worth a try. The lobster meat is tender and plump,…read morethe fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the accompanying fries are also very crispy. The quality of the ingredients is clearly carefully controlled, and you can taste the natural freshness of the seafood in every dish. Overall, a very satisfying experience.

5/5! A local friend of mine took me here and we both really enjoyed the vibe and the food! We…read moredecided to split a bunch of appetizers instead of getting a main dish each - this was a great decision! We were able to try a bunch of their appetizers and nothing was really disappointing. We loved everything! We had: - a round of oysters - garlic bok choy - tuna tare tare - this was served in a taco shell of sorts - beef tare tare - this was served on a piece of bread - our favourite! The beef tare tare was definitely the highlight of them all! The spread on the bread was some sort of fig jam I believe, and it paired amazingly with the beef and other toppings on top. Definitely a more unique beef tare tare that I've had recently, and I would totally get it again!

I really hate leaving low reviews but this was 4.5 stars so my expectations were high. Granted…read morethere has been no reviews in awhile, we thought we'd try this place out for seafood since they are a "fish market" so we figured the seafood would be fresh. Ordered the haddock dish & chips cuz that seemed like a food standard to act as a base. Also ordered the paella cuz who can resist a good paella? The fish and chips were super greasy. Ugh. There was a pool of grease and I had to use several napkins to soak up all the grease. The fish and chips were nothing special which would have been a 3 star but the grease factor dropped it to 2.5. The paella was good. The seafood fresh and hot. and the rice had an excellent flavor. The portion was a bit small so I'd give it a 3/5. Wait staff took our order, brought it, and then the check. Never came back to check on us. They were nice tho. If I lived in the area, I wouldn't come back. Will stick to my favorite fish & chips shop in Pacifica, CA!

I really like The Seafood Grill--it's perhaps one of my favourite seafood spots around in Ottawa…read more The ingredients were fresh and delicious. Although the portion was not the biggest for its price (I got the paella and two spring rolls, which ended up around 50 dollars for me), they were filling, and the seafood ingredients were very solid. The paella was super delicious, especially the chorizo sausage bits. They were bursting with flavour, which really complements the other seafood. My friend got the Tony's Bouillabaisse, which I thought was delicious too (although I don't think she liked it all that much). The spring rolls were super yummy. They were fried to crispy perfection and filled with steaming hot shrimp, crab bits, and lettuce. It was super fun to eat, too. My favourite thing about The Seafood Grill was how freshly cooked every single dish was. All three dishes came out steaming hot, which I knew they had prepared freshly in the back. All seafood restaurants should do it like The Seafood Grill as the gold standard. I think I'll be back next time I'm in town, especially if I can visit the Kanata area. I really want to try their fish and chips and all the other dishes. Great service (I loved the cold water). The vibe was fun (tho there were a couple of flies, which I assumed were inevitable in the middle of summer).

Always a great experience. Fantastic food…read more Casual ambiance. Excellent service. Been dining here for over a decade, and it never disappoints.

First time eating at any Captain's Boil restaurant- Elgin St. Ottawa…read more The place needs to be cleaned, it is dirty. Stayed because this was #1 on my daughter's bucket list. The men working were nice but very slow and not attentive at all. They appeared to be out of their element. Wait times were longer than needed to be as the restaurant is very small. Food was decent. A fun experience. My husband never received his food, even after telling them 3 times, we were given an apology and that was it. We will try another Captain's Boil at another location.

On top of that, the service is outstanding every time; attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

They have a pretty good selection of fresh fish and seafood at this Lapointe market, and it smells…read morelike it too. Some of the seafood isn't covered by glass or anything, so it is exposed. For everyone that is sensitive or isn't used to the fresh fish smell, you might want to consider waiting outside if you're accompanying someone, or you can always just decide to grin and bear it. Personally, the smell doesn't bother me. Since there is so much ice to keep the seafood fresh, the floors are often wet, so watch your step! I came here to buy sushi-grade salmon because I had such a craving for sashimi and I didn't feel like going to a restaurant. The prices aren't too bad, and I found it to be a fairly good deal for my salmon at the time. The fish was fresh and was of good quality, and it really hit the spot!

At first, it was a bit unclear as there is a near-by location of "Lapointe Fish" that is really a restaurant but we finally found this one with is a fish market. The choice is not as wide as we use to in "La Mer" in Montreal and we found that prices for oysters were a bit higher. That said, they had a fair choice of fresh ones and we were happy with the results. They were not very helpful in helping us choosing (recommending the obvious choices) and were not encline to let us try it first. A good place for fish and seafood if you are around but not the best that we had.
