Excellent staff, food and atmosphere. A Family of New Brunswick fishermen know their fish and this was excellent. I recommend the haddock in beer batter.

Such tasty fish and chips! I am allergic to gluten... so anything battered or fried is usually out. They have gluten free batter and a fryer dedicated to gluten free!!! So it was a real treat. It has a quaint seaside atmosphere and wonderful staff! I can hardly wait for my next visit to Ottawa.

I’ve been here 3 times within the past month. Haven’t been disappointed yet. The crab cakes are sinfully delicious. Beer-Battered Haddock was fabulous. The Lifeboat Basa was excellent. It was Perfectly pan-seared and remains hot and juicy the entire time it was on my plate. Great friendly service with a smile really adds to the dining experience. Nice atmosphere. Interesting choice of folk music, but it suits the theme of the place. I foresee myself venturing back to this little place a lot more in the future if they continue to serve the awesome food that I have been receiving each time I go.

My husband and family have always praised this restaurant, so I finally had the chance to try it out today! We arrived around 4 o'clock and the restaurant was already packed inside.

As someone who has moved from Newfoundland, I can confidently say that this is one of the top spots in Ottawa for fish and chips. After trying numerous pubs and restaurants, this is the one I keep coming back to.
