Reviews for The Whalesbone Bank Street in Ottawa, ON
We had a great evening here. One of the best assortments of oysters I?ve ever had. Ate at the bar and had a great conversation... with the staff. Very engaging and attentive. One the best aspects was the scotch in the oyster shells. That will be my go-to. Music was outstanding and overall vibe terrific. Read more
We went to the original Whalesbone restaurant on Bank street. Always great service and food. OMG, I love oysters. C'mon down and... try a plate, or two. The Bank street location is smaller, but has great decor, atmosphere. Am I in Newfoundland?? Maybe. Thanksfor great food. Loved the salmon. Yummy. Read more
We just finished a museum visit and started walking around the area looking for a place to eat. Did a quick search for seafood... restaurants nearby on Google Maps. Nearest was " Whalesbone " merely a few hundred meters away, and it had great reviews. So webegan our journey. The instant we walked in the door, my godchild and I knew we were going to enjoy our decision. The charm ofthe restaurant was in it's decor, the staff and the best part, besides the wonderful food, was the nostalgic feeling I got onceI saw the bartender putting on music. He was using an actual record player and we listened to great vinyl albums from the 70sand 80s. We both enjoyed our choices, Mariana had the Atlantic salmon and I enjoyed the Shellfish Risotto. They made adjustmentsto my meal to comply with my food intolerances without hesitation. Probably should mention that, one needed to have areservation because of limited seating. Without knowing this, they still served us. They asked a couple of clients to give up alittle space at the bar and we all shared it and it made for good conversation. Top notch service and staff, with great food.What more do you want from a restaurant? Read more
Great food and friendly staff. Loved the apps we ordered and the main course. Flavors are well balanced. Seafood is definitely... good here. Went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy and we got great service. Read more
Good location, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. The staff are also knowledgeable about their offerings and drinks. This is... one of the go to places for oysters in the city. Definitely a must, if you're a fan. Their other meals change through the yearwith local foods incorporated into it. One downside of this location is that there is no AC, so it gets quite hot in there. Read more
This is my ultimate place to go for oysters! Always fresh and soooo delicious. They have so much sauce to choose from for your... oysters! I always eat like 50$ worth of oysters every time I come here haha! Their salmon and soup is very good and the deepfried ice cream is my favourite! Love love love it! The staff is very chill and friendly and seems like they love working here!Nice and cozy with great food, excellent place for any kind of occasion. Read more
Friendly, personable, attentive staff made this high end restaurant accessible to tourists. If you know nothing about oysters,... but enjoy seafood fine dining, come here! Everything was excellent. No dress code required. Expect to spend about $40-50 perperson. Read more
