Unfortunately our dinner at Ferri's Upstairs was a demonstration of how bad service can totally ruin any good work done by any kitchen. It started with the (very) long time it took to acknowledge us, and all the people behind us, while we were w

Excellent, food was delicious, filling portions, service was great and atmosphere is perfect... little expensive but it's the reality now..
Great find!
Great Happy hour. Amazing oysters. Great spot to grab a drink and light meal/apps. Great atmosphere and staff. Will be back!
Disappointed in a couple of ways
The food was okay but the table we sat t was not comfortable, very hot with no real air circulation and it was like a picnic table, cramped and not very appealing, Further back in the restaurant it was more like a garden and had proper tables and cha
We dropped in for happy hour but missed it.
Oh well. Still had a fabulous oyster platter, a duck trio, bouillabaisse, black cod and a few cocktails. The food was solid! The portions were really made for one maybe two if you order multiple items but the food was delicious. Service was very nic
One of the best dining experiences I've had
I stopped here in the middle of a bus tour. The staff was very accommodating to my tight timeline. I ordered mostly off of the happy hour menu (whipped ricotta, mini fish and chips, and $1.50 oysters), and was very happy with it as I was able to try
Lemon ricotta fritters are a must!
Seafood tagliatelle and lemon ricotta fritters were a winning combination! Seafood was fresh and delicious. Seasoned perfectly. Creamy and zingy. Tagliatelle were cooked to perfection. Lemon ricotta fritters were supposed to be a dessert after the me
Tried and would return for the chowder.
Ordered Turkish spiced lamb wrap with cup of chowder. The wrap was very tasty and the chowder was good (very mild). Steamed clams and mussels with white wine sauce. The seafood cooked perfectly but the sauce lacked on flavour. It totally missed the m
Great seafood chowder
We stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Tried the Lebanese hummus and seafood chowder. They were both great. The chowder was very flavourful with lots of variety and almost a half baguette as a side. It was a full lunch and great staff.
Wow! This place really pleasantly surprised us.
We were hoping to actually go to Pedro Negro, one of the sister restaurants but it was closed for a private event and this place had a lovely ambiance upon walking in, so we decided to stay. SO glad we did, a new favorite spot in Victoria without a d
Fanny Bay Oysters $1.50 a Shuck during happy hour!
The original menu has lots of non-seafood options. Having said that, Tuna Tacos are our favorite. The best happy hour in Victoria, 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm every day.
Timeless!
I hadn’t visited this amazing restaurant for over 20 years and was so relieved to find that the atmosphere and great food hadn’t changed. The service was impeccable and the lovely hostess gave me her recommendation for a dinner option which turn
We were somewhat disappointed with everything.
Service lacked, atmosphere was boring and the food was mediocre. Steps up to restaurant are really steep.
Amazing lunch experience.
We were sad that we found this location on our very last day! Loved the ambience and the menu had so much variety. We started with the yummy Halloumi cheese with honey and Aleppo pepper. Then we each had a bowl; the Lebanese bowl and the Pacific b
Great Meal
This was in a good location close to the waterfront, incredibly friendly serving staff, great food and drink and good music as well.

without a doubt, this is my fav seafood restaurant in Victoria but make sure to go upstairs vs the downstairs Ferris (more casual). Finer dining without all the pomp and circumstance the Japanese inspired Miso glazed black cod is my go to and also

Ferris' did not disappoint! We remarked that we enjoyed the one available oyster menu item to our server at another establishment, and he immediately recommended this place. The restaurant is warm and inviting. The exposed brick walls are adorned wit

TERRIBLE!!! I had the bouillabaisse--it was 75% fennel and almost no shellfish. I love bouillabaisse and this was the worst I have EVER had!!!
Great
Excellent chowder, cooked oysters as well as fresh and tasty on half shell. Great service from Kate. Look forward to returning.
Amazing Service from Heather...and Great Food Too.
We ate at the Ferris' Garden & Grill. I really enjoyed our dinner here. The menu had a lot of yummy sounding items to me. Heather was our server and she was AMAZING...so helpful, patient and attentive. She recommended a local wine, Enrico Winery
Love those oysters especially at $1 each!
Though not usually an early diner, had to take advantage of Ferris Happy hour specials 3 to 5pm including oysters on the shell for only $1 each...my friend had 18 of these tasty little morsels from Fanny Bay. We also had a couple of other HH specials
Ain’t what it used to be. Now small portions, overpriced
Ferris’ used to be a great place for a casual dinner. Last evening I was disappointed. Nothing wrong with the food, really. It was tasty. But the “seafood laksa” (“ocean wise prawns, wild salmon, pacific cod, Saltspring Island mussels, Manill
A great find!
Ferris Upstairs Seafood and Oyster Bar was a great find. Funky small restaurant, good service, great music, cool hockey-themed paintings on the rustic walls and super food. I had the black cod, prawns, pork & shrimp dumpling, bok choy, and Thai
Tasty food
I had a casual night out dinner with friends,we enjoyed happy hour oysters with added cooked one, small plates are like appetizers,small portions to taste,larger plates are of small portion as well,I would have liked rice or piece of bread to go with
Fabulous oysters
Oysters spectacularly fresh and delicious! Service exemplary. Did take out fresh oysters. Would absolutely recommend and return.

Good food, good service
Interesting, tasty, different food. Good, friendly service. Good beer. Frequented by locals as well as visitors, which we always think is a good sign.
Excellent experience.
Went for a spot of Dinner on Saturday. Outstanding food complimented by superb service. Lily was our server and she was super attentive without ever being overbearing. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.
Very glad we went here

Outstanding experience from exquisite, artfully created dishes to friendly and efficient service. The chef was charming and talented! I loved this restaurant and would highly recommend it!
My wife and I had the hamburger and salmon burger.
Both were very good. Dessert was good too. The location is nice and by the port. Our server (don't know his name- tall young man) was very nice.

A hidden gym in BC, from the food to the ambiance to the Canada art on the wall, I highly recommend. Stopping in BC for the evening when on our cruise, Ferris was highly recommended by a few of the crew on the ship. I booked on OpenTable and upon

This quiet unassuming restaurant is tucked in along Yates street just a few blocks from the main Seaport in Victoria. If you want seafood, especially Mussels and oysters this will call to you. Ambience is intimate and cozy.
Great food, excellent service, nicer ambience yet still
Great food, excellent service, nicer ambience yet still casual than downstairs, and reasonable prices overall. Be sure to make a reservation, the place was packed on a Sunday in June(tourist season?), but it sounded like locals were eating here too.

Went here for the happy 3-6 happy hour that was advertised for in front of the restaurant. Was told after being seated at 520 that we could no longer order off the happy hour menu. 100% false advertising. This was the worst place I've been to in Vict

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar (Ferris') Victoria at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar (Ferris') Victoria page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar (Ferris') Victoria to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
