Our favourite restaurant, bar none. Fish and every other dish (tiramisu, yam fries) great. Every seafood dish is cooked to perfection. Service is always great, no pretension. For what you get, prices are very reasonable.Highly
Have been disappointed with menu for a while.Menu has been more limited.No longer provide choice of grilled calamari, vs. fried.Big disappointment!!!Had fish and chips recently .Great disappointment!!!!! More batter than fish!!Unfortunately will probably not return after being a long time customer.?

Avis :This past December 2023, like every year for Christmas, my husband prepared his signature shrimp ceviche. However, our usual fish market had closed its doors. So, we conducted some research and decided to try Merivale Fish and Seafood Grill for fresh shrimp. Unfortunately, they were out of fresh shrimp when we arrived, and the person in charge, presumably the owner or manager, went to the back and returned with a box of frozen shrimp, insisting they were the best.Despite our reservations, we trusted their recommendation and proceeded with the purchase. However, upon arriving home and beginning the cooking process, we noticed that the shrimp had a faded color and a spongy texture. Given that we have made ceviche many times before, we concluded that the shrimp were not fresh and had to discard the entire batch. It seemed as though we were given leftovers from their freezer.Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed by this experience with Merivale Fish and Seafood Grill. I strongly advise against trusting them for fresh seafood purchases.

Had a great meal at The Seafood Grill! Got Tony's Bouillabaisse and it had a nice portion of fresh fish chunks (salmon and cod?), mussels, and shrimp. The soup was very flavourful and warm.Sides - I got vegetables (which were carrots and broccoli?) and garlic potatoes. They were pretty decent, but the stand out was the seafood.Service was great too, the food came pretty fast and the servers were nice. She offered me bread and explained the dish I was unfamiliar with to make sure I knew what I was ordering.

Really amazing seafood. The oysters are delicious and have good sauce pairings. My favourite dish was the Atlantic salmon with rice but other dishes such as the Tony's Bouillabaisse and fresh cod. The wait time is a little long but the servers are friendly and polite.

My first sushi experience was nothing short of extraordinary???. The chef's skillful artistry shone through in every bite, the freshness of the fish ,leaving me craving more. Despite being a newcomer to sushi, I enjoyed every bite. For sushi aficionados and newcomers alike, The seafood grill is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable dining experience. We got the Platter A sushi so I recommend that since I loved it, you can explore more options ?.

It was good, but not great. We weren’t offered a seat at the bar, so stood in line and waited on a Friday night. They don’t take reservations on Friday nights. We were not offered refills on our drinks. We had fish and chips, calamari, and Ceaser salads. The chips were great. The rest was good, but not great. There are better options for fish in the city.

Our service was very efficient and friendly. We had fish and chips. My partner thought it was okay. I found that the breading on my fish was under cooked and mushy on the inside.

The take out fish and chips are sub-standard. Soggy french fries, fish is heavily battered. and greasy Texture and taste of fish overwhelmed by batter. I would expect some crispness and freshness. Quite disappointed, especially at that price point.

I ordered grilled cod with a vegetable side, both dishes were well done but the fish was moist and just right. The only negative is that I found the food was expensive and did not enjoy paying separately for the fish and the side.Vegetarian options: Options are offeredParking: Small parking area, difficult to find a space
