What Charity Breitenberg doesn't like about Coasters Seafood Grill:

Coasters, located above the fish market with a stunning view of the Byward market, offers a mix of upscale and more affordable dining options. The restaurant provides a variety of dishes, including fried chicken on waffles and crispy skinned salmon. Customers rave about the all-you-can-eat mussels, stating that you can keep ordering until you're full. Despite some mixed reviews on portion sizes and pricing, overall, diners seem to enjoy the food with some standout dishes like the mussels and fish and chips. The service receives high marks, with servers being described as friendly and accommodating. The historic building, dating back to the 1800s, does have some accessibility challenges with the number of stairs, but the ambiance and views make up for it. Loyalty programs are available for frequent visitors, offering perks like free appetizers and gift cards. In conclusion, Coasters seems to be a popular choice for both locals and tourists looking for a delicious meal with a great view in Ottawa's bustling market area.

$19 for all-you-can-eat mussels is really worthy! If during lunch time, it is only$9.99!
