    Cioppino is superb! Tomato sauce to dream about. Try the niva Scotia rose Leon Millott - wait for it to reach room temperature before tasting...then discover dark red cherries and dark chocolate

    You have to eat here, at least once, as a Haligonian, because seafood is our coast's forte and The Five Fishermen does it RIGHT

    You can't go wrong with a classic, especially one with complimentary mussel and salad bars! Try the Grilled Leg of Lamb, Seafood Pie, Bouillabaisse or Blackened Haddock, and end with Pudding Chomeur. Read more

    Happy hour oysters and drink special can't be beat. Lobster Cobb was very good as well.

    Happy Hour Oysters...$1.50 each daily starting at 4pm! Stay away from the Fish Tacos... you'll go home broke and hungry. Lobster Roll isn't bad.

    Place is under new ownership and completely renovated from its historical state. Meal was okay. The chowder was disappointing- just scallops and a lot of celery. Likely won’t be back myself.

    Seared halibut tender and great. Dolce de Leche excellent - portions could stand to be bigger though

    DELICIOUS food. We had the lobster linguine and the pancetta chicken, and a fantastic dirty Caesar!

    Had the Arctic Char with wild rice/roasted peppers. Fish was INCREDIBLE! Rest of it? Meh at best. A bit pricey for just meh.

    Building decor, and staff are great, but the food isn't worth it on any count. SO many better options for seafood. Go elsewhere.

    Unimpressive. Steak is way overpriced and below average. Friends say seafood is unimpressive as well. Do not recommend.
