We ate at the bar which was good as we could see the fresh oysters shucked right in front on us. The appetizers - oysters were great - good variety. Steak was not at all what it should have been. Salmon was ridiculous. The presentation was cute, but not that appealing. The prices were way out of whack for the quality and preparation of the food. It used to be better - I think they got a new cook - definitely went downhill from before. We may go back, but just for the oysters - forget the mains. Save your money and have your main course elsewhere.

This is the best Oyster Bar in town! Always a large selection of east and west coast oysters, with fresh horse radish, and a Scotch shaker to have on them too! Always a fresh menu on the board... Very fun place to be!

First - the benches - absolutely ridiculous to think that people would be comfortable - for sitting that long with no back support - invest in some good restaurant chairs. You are charging 5 star prices for inconsistant food. The appetizers were delicious - but $18.00 each - ridiculous. Salmon and steak were undercooked. No vegetables??? $38.00 Nice staff - but not professional. For this money you should have top of the line professionally trained staff and consistant quality of food. We won't be back. Nor will our friends.

Great gourmet dining spots in Ottawa

The array of oysters from this popular seafood eatery are so reliably good that other Ottawa restaurants buy them to serve at their own establishments! If you don’t know your Ruisseaus from your Lambertinis, fear not; the knowledgeable staff will be happy to walk you through your oyster adventure. But the Whalesbone is also so much more than just an oyster house, as it serves a variety of amazing seafood choices including lobster, trout and a seared tuna tataki. Sophisticated foodies love this intimate little place.
