Top Tags:

Oddfish is a Seafood and Vegetable focused restaurant. Ethically sourced and high quality ingredients are what you will find here with the focus being on the food - not the fuss. In regard to the wine list - approachable and interesting with a great price point is our goal. The atmosphere is casual and fun. We are a neighbourhood restaurant that others from outside the neighbourhood come to for that welcoming atmosphere. We are the same people who created Nook and Tavola restaurants.

Great service, great food! A bit pricey but if you’re willing to splurge it’s well worth-it. Love that it’s a pescatarian menu!!

Despite the glowing reviews online, and the pleasant ambience, unfortunately the food was not particularly flavorful, and was overpriced for the lack of quality. The presentation of the food was nice, but left me wanting less.

Great Kits restaurant! Sat outside as recommended (inside is very noisy) and still hard to converse with another person. Awesome menu - seafood and veggies based. Perfect for someone with Celiac Disease needing a gluten free meal. Had beet salad, civiche (shrimp and halibut was the special), potato wrapped halibut and a to die for GF chocolate ganache type dessert with sour cherries and pistachios! All elements of my gluten free dinner were excellent! Very attentive wait staff and nice atmosphere other than the noise factor. Highly recommend the restaurant for a special occasion!

Really enjoyed our pre-Bard dinner at Oddfish. Our host was really attentive to time, explained the menu well, was thoughtful and friendly. Good was fresh, great flavors and unexpected combinations. Will return. A really lovely casual, high quality dinner that did not break the bank.

Kicked off the meal with a Vesper martini special featuring limoncello- delicious! The burrata cheese with seasonal fresh tomatoes was a great shareable appetizer & the mussels with 2 different broth choices were really tasty . Our waiter was a big bonus - great service !

Un restaurante pescatario sin mayores pretensiones que la de una comida de verdad muy rica y variada. El servicio fue puntual, amigable. El lugar estaba abarrotado principalmente de locales pasándola bien y comiendo delicioso. El carpaccio de pulpo es muy bueno en comparación con otros que he probado. Muy recomendable.

Solid experience. Small plates; excellent variety to suit an array of tastes. Happy with all of our menu selections, but the halibut was the most expensive yet underwhelming item ordered.
