Elinor GarelyJuly 3, 2015Cioppino 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- Cara QuigleyJuly 19, 2017You have to eat here, at least once, as a Haligonian, because seafood is our coast's forte and The Five Fishermen does it RIGHT
Metro NewsApril 1, 2010You 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
- Andrew DevlinSeptember 12, 2015Happy hour oysters and drink special can't be beat. Lobster Cobb was very good as well.
Ann StevensDecember 16, 2018Excellent service, good was great. Treated like a princess when they knew it was my birthday.
Jeanne MahAugust 26, 2012Happy 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.
Bethany LynnMarch 29, 2022Place 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.- Mounir BashourFebruary 9, 2012Seared halibut tender and great. Dolce de Leche excellent - portions could stand to be bigger though
Shannon MuirOctober 18, 2010Love this spot for a meal or just a glass of wine. Largest selection of NS wines anywhere :)
artificialAugust 2, 2010DELICIOUS food. We had the lobster linguine and the pancetta chicken, and a fantastic dirty Caesar!
Sam DevineMarch 10, 2013Had the Arctic Char with wild rice/roasted peppers. Fish was INCREDIBLE! Rest of it? Meh at best. A bit pricey for just meh.
MelzieMay 30, 2011Building decor, and staff are great, but the food isn't worth it on any count. SO many better options for seafood. Go elsewhere.
Al FerrerJune 4, 2010Unimpressive. Steak is way overpriced and below average. Friends say seafood is unimpressive as well. Do not recommend.
Romy MlinzkAugust 12, 2014Großartige Weine aus Nova Scotia (Probier bitte: Nova 7) und leckere Desserts! Alles liebevoll arangiert.

"Cheerful ambiance, great service & delightful fare. Seafood chowder IS VERY fresh, don't miss it; calamari is truly like butter (per previous tip) & peanut sauce is an perfect pair."
