Acceptable but not fantastic

Fish is tricky to cook so it's refreshing to have the option of going to a place that advertises this as their specialty. Ambiance is a more relaxed and casual than the typical franchises like Milestones and Jack Astors or the rushed dining experience provided in most chinese restaurants. Meal was okay and just squeaked by for acceptable. Go for the grouper fingers & coconut shrimp but skip the clam chowder. Salmon and veggies were over cooked and rice was tasteless/overcooked. The salmon was screaming for a sauce of some sort to make it more palatable. General feel was that no love went into cooking this meal. For what we paid, better value and taste could be found elsewhere.

DISHES TRIED: Big Catch (coconut shrimp, clam chowder, sole with lobster brandy sauce, grilled salmon & stuffed shrimp, crusted grouper), grouper fingers, Fish Platter, coffee,
PRICE: $35 pp incl. tax, tip (Service was good so we tipped decently)

Probably good for pizza, but we ordered from a special Thanksgiving/Hanukkah menu. Really the food was good but the place felt cold. This is a problem with many hotel restaurants.

We have frequented this restaurant for over a year now.
Good selection of seafood, superb service by Shaffiq (we always ask for him).
Atmosphere is fine, can be noisy at times. They seem to host many large parties.

Outstanding Quality of Fish
September 19, 2012

On passing, you would not expect this place to be anything special but the quality of the fish I had was as good as I have anywhere in the world. Service was ok/good, prices very reasonable and atmosphere ok.
If you enjoy fresh fish, give this place a try.

We were recommended to this restaurant by our hotel since we were looking for a nice seafood restaurant. We asked the wait staff as to recommendations on the menu and they suggested the fish and chips! So I ordered it and what I received was heavy battered fish and french fries...and it tasted like frozen batter fish and frozen french... more

Going Downhill

Have been going to The Fish House for years. We like the Happy Hour menu at the bar. Get to try a little bit of everything at reasonable prices. This particular visit was quite disappointing. The food was average, crab cakes tasted too doughy, other items were either too greasy or bland. At the end of the meal, I was... more

I really like whole fish but my favorite restaurant got bought and well not my favorite anymore.
The fish house is consistent.
Decor is average.
I don't mind going here once in a while but the service and decor make it feel a little fast foody.
It's good but not great.

Although we have previously enjoyed visiting this restaurant, our last visit was very disappointing.
The service was fine but the meal itself was far from expectation. The portion was small and the crab meat non existent. My friends were equally disappointed. Perhaps it was a bad night that we chose but it did leave a bad taste and we are... more

The Fish House in Markham
May 27, 2012

We have travelled a lot and I have to comment the best fish is at this restaurant.
We never are disappointed in our selections. The seafood risotto is excellent.
I have eaten iat Fishermans' Wharf San Francisco and although it was tasty it did not compare to the Fish House.Many selections to choose from.
Plus excellent service.

Best fish in town!
May 26, 2012

I love this place! The fish is always perfect and there are so many options on the menu. My family and I come here often for casual Sunday brunch and for special occasions such as birthdays. Some waitresses should be trained a bit more, but the food sure does make up for it!

March 30, 2012

We had jerk shrimp and stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. Both were very tasty. Main courses were blackened mahi mahi and catfish. Again both were nicely cooked. You get to choose two sides from a fairly long list including fresh vegetables. Service was professional. For the price, good value.

good, reliable fish restaurant
March 15, 2012

Good variety of fish. Uninspired decor, sometimes a bit loud. But the service is fiendly and helpful,and staff are eager to please.
Fish is moderately priced, fresh, and cooked in a large variety of ways. Sides are nothing special. The best part of the menu are the chef's specials - often imaginative and fun.
A solid, reliable spot for fish/seafood.

Disappointing Meal
March 15, 2012

We were 2 couples. Two of us ordered the meal special which was Mahi Mahi with lobster.
When the meal arrived the portion was quite small and after searching we managed to locate 2 small morsels of lobster. The men ordered the salmon and again, very small portion with cold side dishes.
We were disappointed.

A Rare Seafood Restaurant in Markham

E: Fish House is not interested in mysteries or subtlety. It serves all manners of seafood including fish, lobster, crab, shrimp and more.The dinner specials were different crusted fish. The crusted fish (covered with Macadamia, pistachio, corn, potato, etc.) were mostly tilapia and the salmon family.The fish is served in 6oz or 9oz portions.

Quality AND Quantity count!

I have been to the Fish House for about 5 years now (several times within a year). Over the years, I have noticed a decrease in the quantity of food being served, while the price has gone up. ...Although presentation is excellent and food is extremely tasty, quantity should be reasonable. We paid $18 for a Valentine's Day appetizer that consisted of 2 oysters rockefeller, 2 tiger shrimps and 2... more

First visit. Ordered appetizers and was told some were half off for happy hour. Cool! So we sampled calm chowder, lobster bisque, malpaque oysters, crispy fried calamari, crab cakes, muscargots and bacon wrapped scallops. It was all ok. Perhaps a bit under fried on the respective items. Some foods had a chinese restaurant flavour. It was like Asian-Pub-Seafood fusion. With the specials price it... more

Poor Customer Service
December 01, 2011

Was there last night only to use some old gift certificates. We showed them when we arrived and the hostess said they were fine but the manager wouldn't accept them when we went to pay. After a lot of coaxing he finally took $10 off the bill. (The certificates had a value of $40. Their Grand Banks Bucks.) The food was fine and we might have gone back. We certainly won't go back now.

The crab cakes were premade, I think, but the salad that came with them was pretty good. I ordered grilled pickeral and it was well cooked but a bit flavourless. The key lime pie for dessert was good.
