Reviews for Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar (Ferris') in Victoria, BC

Food here was very good. Oysters were super fresh and were a very good price during happy hour. I had the Black Cod and it was... very good. Cod was cooked very well and as well as the scallops. Great place for good seafood. Read more

We decided to have a nice dinner and chose one of the best rated places in Victoria. So expectations were high. What we... received: - oysters were warm and even dry. They were provided in seconds after our order. How long they stayed open? - pastawas perfectly prepared al dente, but the cheese, omg - it was not a cheese, it was some plastic bag. U can see it in pic; - thewaitress was nice, but very in a hurry. She recommended a perfect local Pinot gri, but it was WARM: - we loved interior- verynicely done roofing, windows, walls, but PLEASE take away the so called art from the walls. Just small advise - less is more! -at the end we received a bill. It would be ok to pay such amount for Normal European restaurant. But, dear Canadian friends -European price goes with the quality of food. What we experienced today - was 1* Michelin restaurant price for regularAmerican burger quality. Actually, yesterday we had a very good chorizo burger at Town square restaurant in Pemberton. Thatburgers quality was better than had to be ours on of the best dishes in Victoria. Overall, the restaurant is overrated. Read more

The happy hour fried smelts are delicious. Oysters are 2 bucks each but you need to buy the sauces like horseradish and cocktail... sauce for 50 cents extra. The chorizo puffs were essentially like sausage rolls. Good place for happy hour appies. Read more

Recommended by a friend fr Vancouver. We were greeted at the door pleasantly, very accommodating host, we were seated at the... oyster bar section, another section is the tapas bar. Good ambience, with some really nice art work on the brick wall, with anopen kitchen where there’s also chairs where you can sit. We were seated by the window, and we have a very nice andaccommodating server, her name is Lilly. She’s very nice and can joke around. It was a nice experience dining in thisrestaurant, Highly recommended. Thank you for the great hospitality and for the great food! We will be back! Read more

Ferris’ is a fantastic little spot that’s become my go-to when in Victoria. A fantastic selection of oysters and other... dishes in a quaint little spot upstairs. On my most recent visit we enjoyed the set menu with wine pairings as part of DineAround Victoria and were very pleased with all the dishes offered and the service was fantastic as always. Definitely recommenda reservation as it’s a small place! Read more

Like this place! It’s located in the heart of Downtown in one of the beautiful old houses right upstairs. They have cool... interior design with authentic pictures and you even can buy some of them. We tried their top-ratting linguine pasta with clamsand duck.. both were super tasty! Highly recommended for romantic date or just a nice dinner with friends/family Read more

Happy hour menu worth a stop! Pate and mushrooms was very yummy for a vegan dish. Shrimp rempura was standard with extra spices... and a mango dip which didn't really have too much mango flavour. Oysters were creamy and tasty. Pesto baked oyster was good butslightly too oily for my taste. My strawberry mint gin drink was straight forward. Read more
