    Just really well done. Food is first rate. The fish is cooked perfectly, though sometimes they oversauce things. Great ambiance, particularly if the patio overlooking the river is open. Professional service. A little pricey but at a level to be expected given what you're eating and where you're eating it.

    Excellent food and service. Fun place to be. Gorgeous night with the windows open (a bit chilly for that but it eventually warmed up with the heater). Food choices were Cod, Salmon, Snapper and Fish & Chips. All outstanding. I was less impressed with the appetizers (shrimp very stingy for the price, and I didn’t like the octopus preparation). Desserts are tasty and HUGE. Definitely one to split for a table of 4 is enough.

    Thank you for your feedback, Amy! We're thrilled you enjoyed the main dishes and desserts. We appreciate your comments on the appetizers and will review them with our chef team. We look forward to welcoming you back to RPM Seafood. Cheers!

    Went to RPM Seafood for a business dinner with four guys. For the positives… We had a shrimp cocktail, hamachi roll, salmon sashimi, and grilled octopus and all were great. Two of the guests had the black cod and I had the wagyu NY strip which was outstanding. Mushrooms, broccolini, and crispy potato sides were all great as well. As were the drinks. For the negatives… the service was hit or miss throughout the night. The server was very good but then inexplicably would disappear for long periods. He never asked if we had dined at the restaurant before (we had not). He never explained the menu or made recommendations. He never came by the table after the entrees were served. He was generally slow in taking orders, getting drinks, following up, etc. The restaurant has club music playing. Not exactly the vibe we were looking. I appreciate it’s a seafood restaurant and not a classic steakhouse but at that price point, I expect something more refined. Finally, the restaurant charges a 3.5% surcharge for employees. Not explained or anything, just right there on the bill. Overall the food was great but will definitely not be going back. Too many other great restaurants in the city to enjoy.

    Hi Rocky - Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the food and drinks but apologize for the service and atmosphere missing the mark. Your comments will be shared with our team for improvement and we hope you'll give us another chance to improve.
