Flipper's Seafood - Ottawa

We been going for years, love the food, atmosphere and amazing staff. Their calamari is a great way to start with anything on the menu being a delicious choice.

Flippers is one of the finest restaurants in Ottawa. Food is always amazing and the service is welcoming, professional and friendly. My favourites are Blackened Swordfish, when available, and the Surf and Turf. Dress is casual and you can always stop in at the bar.

Rock solid experience. We ended up here because I really wanted seafood and we needed a reservation for Pelican. The clam chowder and shrimp wonton soup were excellent. Almond salmon excellent. Seafood platter the oysters were a bit too warm and the lobster just slightly overdone. In theory because of those tidbits I would give this place 4.8 stars but everything was so good, the service was excellent even when we showed up with a baby. They saw we were looking outside how to get up the stairs and someone came out to tell us there was an elevator around the other side. On a sunday evening we were dining in a mostly empty space with what looks like a bunch of regulars hanging out and eating at the bar. This was a beautiful experience with my wife and baby and I would consider coming back to this place as many times as I'm in Ottawa.

Great menu specials, super attentive server, and a window seat! I had walnut crusted salmon which was moist and flavourful. But the sweet potato fries were the very best I have ever had, crisp not mushy and hot, not greasy. A respectable wine list, and a nice tart with pecans and chocolate for dessert. Go here, you will not be disappointed.

First time here we will return. The food was prepared simply and perfectly cooked. Couldn't ask for anything more than that. Nice that they didn't try to push dessert. Loved the wine list nice choice of reds and wines and everything around the same price. This shows care in their selection of wines. The service was as good as it should be not overbearing and there when you needed someone. We showed up on a busy Friday and they graciously accommodated us, even with our service dog. Restaurants like Flipper do it right. They deserve your patronage. I hope they're still here the next time we're in Ottawa.
