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

Excellent service, good was great. Treated like a princess when they knew it was my birthday.

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.

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

Nice ambiance. Roasted halibut was excellent.

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

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

Excellent spot for all you can eat mussels!

Great oysters, tiny entrees. .. but delicious. Pricy too.

Love this spot for a meal or just a glass of wine. Largest selection of NS wines anywhere :)

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

Maitake Mushroom must be tasted

Great appetizers and setting

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

Lobster Roll - Done.

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

Over 6'3"? Watch your head at the top of the stairs!!

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

Großartige Weine aus Nova Scotia (Probier bitte: Nova 7) und leckere Desserts! Alles liebevoll arangiert.
