Great view of Byward market. Cute little restaurant. The mussels and fish and chips were really good. I would go here again! The servers were super nice!

Great location, great food, great service. Visiting from Minnesota-got the all you can eat muscles while my wife got the battered shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection
We sat on the couches with a great view of downtown ottawas byward market.
Thanks to our waitress Lindsey for making the experience fun and enjoyable.
Would definitely reccomend to friends visiting Ottawa. Thanks coasters crew!!

Went in around 8:30pm tonight to grab dinner. After waiting in the upstairs entrance area for over 10 minutes without being addressed, we asked the man seating people how much longer it would be. He was very rude in his response, stating he had to "get himself organized" and that it would be about 5 minutes longer, despite there being open tables. Once we were seated, the server informed us the kitchen was backed up and our food would take quite a while. This experience is similar to the last time we were there about a year ago, when we waited an extremely long time for our meals as well. Based on the poor customer service we received both times, I will not be returning and I do not recommend this restaurant.

We visited this restaurant June 30, and were very fortunate to get a seat as we did not have a reservation (that was apparently required). However, what a disappointment!
1) As we knew reservations were required, we were confused as to why there were so few tables occupied for the entire 3 hours we were there. We were also confused as to why drinks/taking our orders/getting food & bill took SO long as there was more than one waitress working and more empty tables than full.
2) Once our drinks arrived and our food order was taken, the waitress never came back for refills or to check in on us while we waited for our meals.
3) After waiting approx. 1.5 hours, food finally started to arrive - only it was brought to the wrong table. In addition, only three of the four dishes were provided. No comment was made on the fourth dish. After waiting a few minutes, I got up and tracked down the waitress, in which I was informed that the kitchen made an error and the fourth dish would be out as soon as it was ready. A brief comment would have been appreciated when the other plates were provided. We were all very disappointed in the serving sizes for the price they cost.
4) The fourth dish finally arrived, as the other three dishes were 1/2 way eaten (because they should be eating while it's hot!). I had the Shrimp & Scallop dish ($30) . It indicated 2 skews of shrimp and scallops with peppers, onions and new potatoes. There were only four shrimp and four scallops on the entire plate!! The skews also consisted of peppers/onions which were thought to be on the side in addition to the potatoes. The menu description was very misleading.
5) The waitress came back and started cleaning up the table as two of us were still eating. We actually had to tell her that we were still eating (even though it's pretty obvious when we were chewing and still had our forks!!). We then felt rushed to finish our meals.
6) Once we were done, we waited and waited and waited some more for the bill which was incorrect. However; because it took SO long for anything to happen, we just decided to pay it and leave. We went to a restaurant the next night and ordered more food which was more expensive and the bill was still cheaper! How does that work?!
7) The waitress (who is nameless because she never provided her name) apologized to every table, every time she went to a table. It became so irritating.
Being there the Canada Day long weekend, we knew we would to have to be patient anywhere we went but holy. We were truly disappointed in the service, food and prices. See ya never Coasters Seafood Grill.

Awesome spot in the market! Got the calamari as an appetizer and the fish tacos for my entree. Portion sizes were average. Enjoyed the two different types of tacos they served. The servers were very friendly and patient with us as we spent quite a bit of time deciding on our orders.
