Reviews of Big Fish Steak & Lounge (Fish Shop)

Carlos Alas

I’ve been here a couple of times for corporate events, the food is ok seems very institutional vs any kind of flare or inspiration. I guess boring would express my experience. They push the deserts as homemade inspirations but again nothing to brag about.

anne marie rolfe

Nice property. Good menu selection and great flavors.

Jorgen K

Jennifer Hammond

James Gilmore

The meal was great appetizer stuff crab mushrooms then a great salad. I had the 7 oz steak garlic mash potatoes with side of mushrooms done perfectly with broccoli n red pepper on the side. My sister had chicken with mash and same vegetables. It was excellent and we shared a piece of cherry cheesecake mmmmm.

Roland Smith

Service is fantastic and they were so accommodating with the dietary restrictions. Great location, big rooms for parties or smaller booths for a romantic night out. I love going here!

Kage

This is a nice place, on the pricey side, there butter could use some more flavor and the bread should be served warm. The food was ok, I wish they wouldn't garnish with the whole Broccoli tree, stem and all!

Chrissy McRoberts

The service was outstanding, each person helping the other, the result was WOW. The food was as always mouth watering. Alex makes us feel like royalty when we go there.

Marc McRae

We went there for a Christmas work party. One, there was no Christmas tree up . Two , I ordered a stir fry with teriyaki sauce and it was so spicy hot that I couldn't even finish it. Then to top it off they added the tip without even asking if that's ok. Will never go back there. It's a total rip off , prices r way too high.

Every time we visit this absolutely amazing restaurant, the service and the food is spot on and very excellent! I cannot come up with even one bad thing to say about Big Fish! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out!! That’s ok though, it will make it easier to make reservations for us! Lol. Thank you staff for keeping it sophisticated yet relaxed. Cheers!!

Archer McQuackers

Beautiful atmosphere. Good service. Super presentation. Food ok. I was disappointed that my seafood melt (i am nearly certain) was created with imitation Crab) (aka Krab) looked superb....tasted just ok)

FABULOUS ... Our Daughter told us that this is where she and her hubby go for fine dining, and they love it. I said, "REALLY?" It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I said to my hubby one evening, "let's try it!" We have eaten at many restaurants worldwide, and I have to tell you that this place ranks with the BEST of them! Inside, the ambiance is lovely, the service is excellent, and the food is to die for! We both had the Seafood Chowder, and it is in the top 3 of the best we've ever had, possibly the best! Prime Rib was just delicious! Everything was presented beautifully .. Loved it!!! Way to Go, Big Fish! Our compliments to the Chef!

David Vivian

Amazing service and food. Good size portions and presentations. Highly recommend

Laura Feldon

Food was absolutely delicious, drinks were phenomenal! Excellent staff, very courteous and helpful.

Rob Cornwall

Nice atmosphere, cozy setting and great food at reasonable prices.

Jonathan Thompson

Great food and always fantastic service!

Jesse McLean

We had not been here in awhile and were overjoyed with our dining experience. They advertise their clam chowder and it was amazing. Easily compares with chowders on the Eastern coast of the US. Creamy and lots of great flavours. Prime rib was tender and very unique with flavour.

Jeff Dowswell

Delicious food. Reasonable pricing. Trish was super friendly. I highly recommend stopping here.

Derek Dochstader

Outstanding food and service. I have e eaten here many times and I have never had a bad experience. Casual to fine dining.

CampMoran

Great place for an outstanding dinner. The atmosphere and service are incredible. Best steak dinner in town. I highly recommend dining here.

John Brown

First visit last night. Had the surf and turf and was probably the best meal I have ever had in my life!!! Great atmosphere, food and presentation. Pricey but worth every penny!

Jennifer Perry

Atmosphere is wonderful; food is wonderful :) I had a seafood pasta with a creamy sauce mmmmm and my dinner companion had a steak cooked just right. Staff is polite; our waiter appeared a bit rushed tonight but I think that may just be his personality and he was attentive and polite. This is much more than a seafood restaurant with chicken, pork, steak and pasta on the menu.

Dan Clarke

Amazing staff and owner Held a family get-together here and they were amazing. Thank you

Karen Fischer

Alex and his staff do it all right. Excellent food with great service will ensure you have a fabulous experience every time! Atmosphere and decor tops it all off. ????????☺️

George Alves

We were in Sarnia for business. Decided to try Big Fish. First appearances were good. Nicely welcomed at the front door and we didn't have to wait for a table. Lady server came over and it went down hill from there. We ordered a drink a piece. Before we had even had time to sip we were given the "Specials of the Day" without pricing of course. The way she spoke made us uneasy and uncomfortable. Everything seemed to be a rush. We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and the Shrimp Scampi. Both arrived cold. My oysters complete with bacon and cheese I sent back. Even the cheese hadn't melted. When she (the waitress) took them away and "re-heated" them they still came back cold. AND the cheese still wasn't melted. My husband's shrimp were not properly cooked either and his appetizer again was cold. We asked for the bill and left. First impressions are always important but this just didn't help our decision to leave. I can't imagine what the rest of the meal would have been like if we had decided to stay. the 'Host" asked us what was wrong and we didn't want to get into it as there were other customers waiting at the door. He came around the back as we were getting into our vehicle and again asked what was wrong as he had to know. We told him we were disappointed and left it at that. This place could have such potential. Perhaps it was the cook? But the wait staff was irritating, the host good. Perhaps it was a bad day for all of us. Will check out other fine dining in Sarnia before returning.

Abhishek

Beautiful restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. One thing though the variety in the menu itself can be improved.

Pranshu Joshi

Nice ambience and wasn't too busy for lunch. We(group of 4) tried to calamari, fish tacos, the lamb Burger and seafood melt. The food took almost 20-25 minutes to arrive during it was almost empty but we believe it was because of the baked items. The portion sizes could have been a little bit bigger but in the end we felt pretty full. Overall good experience.

Ann-Marie Lam

Best steak in Sarnia, unreal clam chowder, wonderful staff & fun atmosphere. We go here for all of our special occasions and just because!

Daniel J Bellyk

Great atmosphere. Easily the coolest looking restaurant in sarnia. Oh and the food is good too!

Carli Baker

Amazing upscale restaurant. PERFECT place for anniversary dinners or birthday parties (especially if you want to dress to impress) STEAK cooked to PERFECTION. Worth the price. Wonderful staff and honourable ownership. Always love coming in to support this local business. Modern decor. Recommend sitting on bar side. Keep up the good work Alex and team!

John Neufeld

Amazing food great fab service

Surf and turf was absolutely delicious. We had the baked brie as an appetizer and it was scrumptious. The wait staff was wonderfully attentive. Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience.

Lisa

We have eaten here many times and not once have we had a bad meal :)

Heather Johnson

The food at Big Fish is always amazing and they were able to easily help me stay keto and I didn't feel like I was missing anything at all! My husband and I have come here for our anniversary dinners, it's the perfect spot. The staff are always friendly, I have never had a bad experience!!

Karen Casey James

Excellent food, and friendly staff...always a good time every visit. Thanks to Alex and team.

Wayne Beast Stefura

Always great food and service. Used the back room as a business meeting dinner venue. This was a quiet area with sufficient privacy. Service was professional and friendly and food was served in a timely fashion.

Rohit Gupta

Amazing food n a wide range of cocktails. Nice selection of premium spirits as well. Too bad I had a to drive else, a good place to get drunk n smash some good food.

Blake Humphries

My husband and I have not had take out since the Pandemic began. We chose Big Fish as our first take out. The food as always was amazing. Thank you Alex and Stacey. Great food and service as always.

Shadow_ bonbon

Delicious as always.Great service and a friendly warm atmosphere .Great for date night.

Poor Pelly

First time here tonite food was excellent and our server was top notch we will b back again ????

Sandy Belton

Wow! Just experienced a wonderful dining experience. We had our office Christmas Dinner there and we all enjoyed every minute and every mouthful. Our server was excellent, so helpful and very knowledgeable about all the meal and appetizer options. We chose the brie, the lobster and crab stuffed mushrooms, the flatbread and a flaming cheese appetizer, all so delicious. The main courses were just as exceptional and the presentation was beautiful. The portion sizes were very generous. A family owned and operated business which reflected the pride that was taken in every aspect, from the decor to the service and the food. Would highly recommend the Big Fish for a dinner party or an intimate dinner for two, will not be disappointed. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Debbie Berube

Got married there this afternoon. Awesome service. Great food.

June Bug

Always delish with a fab atmosphere and great staff. 5 star eating with a welcome, warm greeting.

Gary McBean

Dine in

Dee Deblock

Tasty food and bumpin house ????

William Eede

Amazing food, and I realize that the latest craze is to stack food but I prefer it when my lobster tail and steak are not stacked on top of mashed potatoes, but hey, that's just me :). Aside from that the food is delicious. Great atmosphere, at times it is louder than others but I blame the people drinking all the wine. If you have little ones be aware that there was only 1 high chair when I took my family there and it was in use by another family. Not a big issue for us but might be for some. Plenty of parking space and wheelchair accessible.

Cecilia Vasquez

Service

Kate Lewis

A slow start to the night..as our 730 reservation was pushed to almost 8pm.. the baked brie was awesome. . Solid menu.. although it is the big 'fish' the new York strip was nicely done with a demiglaze. . My wife enjoyed her rack of lamb as well.. the dessert of creme bulle was ok.... not great. .not bad.. overall was a pleasant evening

Zach Abbink

Great atmosphere and great food. Alex always helps make you feel at home

Majk- Boris Jednacak

First timer.Food was excellent along with very friendly staff.Was a big Keg fan but this was better and closer.Would definitely recommend and we will dine there again.

Sacha Porter

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Very impressed!!

Ruth Burton

Great tomato, rice, chicken soup. Good steak and crab. Good atmosphere. Location is close to the Hiawatha Race Track which is nice.

Tiago Kappke

Food was okay. I paid $23 for a Greek salad with Chicken breast. I've been there for lunch in a Sunday around 12:30. The owner or manager, not sure, was seated in a corner watching videos in his phone. It was really laud, very annoying. They took 35 minutes to deliver a salad. When I was going to pay, they do not have tap, so make sure that you have your physical card on you before coming here. I made a comment saying they should look on upgrading their machine, and the waitress told me that it was not her problem, and she couldn't do anything about it. They do have a beautiful dining layout.

Doug Gill

Beef tenderloin was the best that I have ever had. The whole dining experience was perfect!!!

Jason Johnson

Such an amazing experience right from the greeting at the door to being served throughout the evening. Amazing staff, service and food????. Highly recommended.

Samantha Goodacre

We started off with the mushrooms stuffed with lobster and crab. Although tasty, didn't get much crab or lobster. For our mains we had the tuna and surf and turf. The tuna tasted great as was lightly seared with a sweet sauce on the side. My steak and lobster was delicious and the garlic mash made the dish. Great place for a fancier night out.

Trevor Tynes SEO

food selection was good a little pricey 7 of us unfortunately two had steak to tough to eat they did offer to cook others but not really a solution for us.

Michel Klaus

Amazing food and service, obviously expensive, but worth every penny

David Riggs

Food was well prepared and tasted great. The staff was very accommodating to all our requests.

P H I L I P

My meal was delicious!however I would have hoped they would have provided to waitresses for our reservation of 19 people on our party! Also they definately could have treated the children first..first to order and should have been first for food

Chris Shepley

We visited Big Fish to celebrate a family member's birthday on Sunday August 5. The interior was lovely as was the manner of our server. The entrées were well presented and generous. An issue arose however when the birthday guest bit into a hard bit of what appeared to be plastic in her mashed potatoes. This was brought to the server's attention and she brought the item to the kitchen for further examination - and returned with another serving of mashed potatoes. She was apologetic, but proceeded to inform our table that the item was likely a bit of potato or an onion. Neither I or any of the guests at our table have ever encountered an onion or a potato with a hard plastic texture with a bit of string attached to it. While irritated, we continued to enjoy our meal when a gentleman (apparently the owner) approached our table to inquire about our experience. We advised him of the concern and he thought perhaps a bit of saran wrap had fallen into the potatoes as they are 'covered with plastic wrap when they are prepared'. We indicated that the item was not plastic wrap, but rather a hard bit that appeared to be plastic. He said he would investigate and left our table. Our bill came and upon review noticed that even a minor gesture of removing a drink or dessert, let alone the offending entrée had not been made. We inquired and our server and she indicated she would see what she could do. The owner then returned to the table and was reminded of the issue and asked if any sort of discount would be granted due to the less-than-palatable addition to the meal in question. He replied that 'no there will be no deduction as it was likely a piece of potato or onion'. His manner was unapologetic and frankly arrogant. Even when visiting a fast-food chain employees are trained to address situations related to foreign objects in food. When entering the 'higher-end' spectrum of the dining world, one needs to provide impeccable guest service and accommodate errors with courtesy and humility. An establishment is only as strong as its satisfied customers. We will certainly not return to this restaurant. The experience left an unpleasant taste(and object) in our mouths and put a damper on an otherwise lovely birthday celebration.

Lucian Austin

I got the NY steak, it was honestly average, maybe even a bit below. Very tough, cooked more than I asked for, and not all that flavourful. Especially for $40, it should be much better. The saving grace of big fish though is their amazing appatizers and top notch service. If you decide to come to this fancy spot, make it an appy night!

Rod Post

Way way overpriced 350 dollars for 3 adults 2 kids and a toddler. I would have got a way better meal at Kelseys for a quarter of the price.

Bo Johnson

Absolutely lovely environment, perfectly cooked steak! Wonderful dinner!!

Britney Stewart

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, and probably the best pasta I've ever eaten! (Chicken spaghettini). Love going here!

Rhonda Royer

Amazing atmosphere and great food and we loved it all.

Donna “Gun4LifeLady”

Expensive. Good food but not worth the money. Nothing was fantastic. Steak was pretty bland. Atmosphere inside is okay.

Nolan Hansinger

Was pretty good food and actually incredibly cheap compared to other restaurants I've been too. Steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Extremely convenient for truck drivers that are looking for a nicer meal on a day off or during a 10. Atmosphere is pleasant, staff is friendly, and service is decently quick. I'd highly recommend this location to anyone passing through the area.

Tracy Kailan

Alex and Dave make the front of the house so welcome we rarely go into the restaurant. Food is outstanding and the wine selection has improved to one of the best in Sarnia.

Stephen Kiernan

We went for lunch, it was not busy at all but it took FOREVER for our food to come. We had to be somewhere (We had a 1.5 hour window to eat) and eventually asked for our food to be packaged and we took it with us. Considering it wasn't busy, 1.5 should be plenty of time for lunch.

Brian Marsh

Big Fish is our goto for a warm welcome and a great meal!

James Patterson

7 of went there fot dinner Friday Pm and greated by Alex with a 730 reservation our waitress could not eat it she took it away withouyt saying anythjhng was rude teerrible attitude and sorry we botheŕedd her food was not good as to what i ate guess she was having a bad night also didn't tell another person in our party her salad was an aditional perice didnt offer us coffee or dessert and forgot to give a birthday cake to a person in oyr party Alex never came over and asked if how all was which was unusual waitress never told him we were very unsatisfied

Paulette Poirier

We ordered for curb side pick up and were very pleased... Couple of NY steaks and some appetizers...also very surprised with the quantity with our order. Can't wait till we can go in for a sit down dinner. Thank you

Steve Park

First time there and wouldn’t go back. Service was fine, steak undercooked, asked for veggies well cooked and they were hard. The house salad was blah and only had a piece of carrot on it....not impressed. The bread didn’t even taste fresh, it was stale tasting. Back to Olive’s next time we’re in town.

Linda Miller

We chose Big Fish to celebrate our anniversary last night. The service (Stacey) was impeccable! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Ruksa Hiroku (Robyn)

It is a fancy place, yes. You do get large portions for the price you pay. However, the drinks aren't anything better than those you get at say Crabby Joe's. The sours arent shaken in a glass but considered a mixed drink, which is strange to me. My dining companion got the salmon, and for who the chefs in the back are (told to be the chef-instructors at Lambton College), he found bones in his salmon. On the front of house side, the servers are quite personable and friendly. I'd go again for the wait staff, but not for the food. Looks pretty though.

Danielle Johnson

Had our wedding dinner here. The staff were great, the owner (Alex) is wonderful to work with. The food has always been top notch. Would highly recommend. They offer more than just fish for those who are unsure. Excellent steaks and chicken!

David Grant

Get the escargot, outstanding And you get about 30 of them. Rack of lamb very good but should be cooked to order.

Blair Sturman

Feels like everytime I'm there it just gets better.

JohnnyL REACTS

The food, staff and seating area are all top class. The best restaurant in the area hands done. 5 stars highly recommend.

brian123 white123

Another delicous experience. Relaxing atmosphere to celebrate a family birthday.

Cody Buchanan

The atmosphere was fitting. The food was great! I ordered the Chicken Spaghettini and my wife ordered the Salmon. Both were delicious! We had a reservation for 2 at 8 pm, that was a tad late. And the bartender looked at me like I was stupid when I asked what style a beer was and simply replied "it's an ale." Otherwise, everything was great!

Bryan Haasen

Always a great experience, top notch food and service.

G Sam

No place like it in town . Very classy but relaxed and welcoming. Work boots or Prada pumps your treated well and the food is to die for. Been coming for years and many more to come we hope

Tiffany Branton

Wow the service from this restaurant is first rate. The presentation of my dish was stellar and the taste was amazing. Atmosphere was nice and seating comfortable. A bit pricey but well worth a special night out. Highly recommend!

colleen rankin

We usually go to Big Fish for lunch but decided on it for dinner this time. We are glad we did. The dinner was excellent. Two of us ordered the filet mignon. It came very nicely plated and the taste was fantastic. I ordered mine med rare and it was perfect, the other was medium and it was a little on the med rare side but they commented on how delicious it was. The cost Was on the higher side but what steak dinner out isn’t. The cost with one drink and tip was about $60.00 each.

Rene Deschamps

Cheap oil opposed to butter with the lobster, food was cold when it arrived, rushed out the door until they saw the tip, decided to welcome me back again soon! Gus will make an appearance from the kitchen, attempt to borrow money off customers, no wonder I've heard complaints around town with the food. Hope you're still sober since borrowing off half the town, and your trips to Windsor. I would recommend Stratford Chef School's Student Dinners, and an hour drive, opposed to coming to this 'big fish' again. Save yourself the experience. Bar staff, wait staff, was polite and efficient.

Jhoyli L-S

An amazing meal that had as much to do with the staff and service as it did with the excellent food. We'll definitely be back

Bob Michell

Meat was not seasoned well...and taseless and the turf was dry I took home for dog sorry Alex . But hey potatoes were ok..

Olivia Prins

Incredible service and delicious food. Multiple wonderful experiences with Big Fish. Latest was at a wedding...my salmon came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. Amazing!

Mercedes Johnson

One of my fav places to eat in Sarnia! 5 star all the way!!!!

Dave and Pat Sitko

Always a good choice for a nice meal. Service was great.

Julie M

The restaurant itself is fabulous. However my wife and I were given a $50 gift card that we lost, and sure that's completely our fault. 100% our fault. I called the restaurant to see if they simply had any sort of record of it, seeing as it's $50 on their books that I would think they would keep track of one way or another. I was told that "sorry about your loss but there's nothing we can do". After having lived in the US for 12 years I think I was duped into thinking that customer service existed everywhere, even in little ol'Sarnia, after all this isn't exatclty Walmart I'm dealing with. There was no attempt by the receptionist to find out when it was purchased, by whom it was purchased, or any sort of information taken to help us out. And I can assure you that this is not the first gift card that's gone missing in my life unfortunately, but the first time that the place of business can't seem to do anything about. Anyways, the restaurants food itself is great, which is why we have raved about it to our family and subsequently given a gift card for. This however changes our plans for not only dinner tonight, but any dinner in the future at this restaurant. Again, 100% our fault that the card is lost, sure, but the restaurants inability to take two seconds to even figure out if this is something that they could help us with is a loss in my books.

William Marriott

Our group of 7 celebrated the release of the first book Jenna Bayne has released in the Bayne Book Series with a delightful luncheon prepared with tremendous care by the chef and waitress, excellent food, well worth the trip

Chris Thompson

The server what quick never had to ask for refills. Food was amazing. Never had a bad experience here. Everyone in the restaurant is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Paul Stilwell

My wife and I really enjoyed our meal here. This is a great restaurant.

Gracielle King

Great fine dining in Sarnia! Can't go wrong with this spot. Hosted many birthdays with many allergies and diet concerns without issue.

Rick Soules

Food and service were amazing.

Pj Sparkles

Food was awesome. As good as the keg in London. Deserts were horrible dont order them. Service was impeccable

Tracey Hill

Excellent food! Great atmosphere! Must go if you're in Sarnia!

Linda Williams

Absolutely delicious as always. Thanks Alex.

Jane Levesque

The salmon was moist and flavorful. Alex is a gracious host and sincerely thanked us for dining at Big Fish, making us feel we were valued customers. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Kelsey Macneil

First time at the Big Fish. Friendly staff very knowledgeable about menu meals. Alot of customers there but the meals where tabled in a timely manner. Claim chowder... out of this world. Scallops were perfection. Halibut tender and steaks the way you like them. Lobster tails big bold and beautiful.

Lucie W

Incredible atmosphere, food is absolutely amazing and wonderfully plated. A taste experience!

Joanne Canitch

What a great place for dinner. Took my mom here. Waitress was very attentive. My mom ordered escargot. Wasn't the traditional way. More of a creamy sauce. She just set it aside because it was her mistake. However the owner walked by and noticed she didn't eat it. Explains when we come back just order it the traditional way with cheese and they will make it that way as well. He apologized and said it was his mistake he should have put both ways on the menu. Keep in mind the nice man took it off of the bill. Wonderful customer service all around. All the rest of the meal was absolutely delicious.

bobbi lumly

Very popular place to eat. Usually very busy but the service does not suffer. Owner adds a personal touch by being involved with the greeting. Food is good and they do have daily specials. Price average. Can handle large groups.

lola laine

The food and service are excellent. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food is tasty and beautifully plated.

Kelly Hirlehey

Great food, amazing atmosphere.

Micheal Bugeja

Always great food and awesome staff

Joyce T.

The staff and owners are all very friendly and this visit was no exception. I have been to Big Fish for large group parties and the food was exceptional. When I was there 3 years ago I had the salmon and it was yummy! It was not over cooked or fishy. This past visit however did not measure up for me. My salmon was overcooked and fishy tasting, which was a shame. I'm sure the owner would have remedied the situation if he had if known about but to my fault I didn't mention it. My husband however had a totally different experience with his steak. It was cooked perfectly, the garlic mashed potatoes were creamy with beautiful roasted garlic. Amazing! I would recommend the steak, but perhaps the salmon when in season.

Lee Brooks

We had lunch there today.. the food was amazing, waitress was very nice.. atmosphere is very nice.. we will definitely be going back.

Sandra Piccoli

Loved it. Excellent & delicious food. Server (Dave) is top notch!

Jacob Laskey

Exceptional food and fantastic service. You won't find better food on Sarnia and the specials are always to die for. The staff and owner always ensure a memorable night

Debbie Holmes

No pictures, sorry folks. But you'll do your stomach, taste buds and eyes A solid by eating at #bigfish. Alex, Stacey, and the whole crew finish the experience wonderfully. If Dave the bartender is working have him pour you a Guinness

Dean Tagliavia

Amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend. Compliments to Chef and Staff.

Ian Wilkie

Good service. Great decor. Delicious food. Great martinis.

Angel Hogg

Great food and great service. it's pricey but worth it for a special night

Kendra Kelly

Had a remarkable dinner.....surf and turf special......always the greatest service and certainly the creative style of presentation.....love eating there 5 plus stars for me

Tracy Mccarty

Great food and fantastic ambience. A true gem of a restaurant!!

Bruce West

I’ve been going to this establishment for two generations and the food has always been amazing. Since the renovations this place now has a great cocktail lounge with great drinks. If you want fine dining the menu is one of the best in town. I’ve had everything from the New York steak to the Chicken to the pastas. All the food is so delicious. I love the surf and turf. The deserts and Irish coffees are the perfect end to a great meal. Probably on of the best places in Sarnia!

Deanne Stewart

The food was good. We were there on a Monday night. We had called ahead for a 6:30 seating, but had to wait at the bar for more than 20 minutes. The service was very slow. Felt invisible at times.

Mark Sysel

Reservations for 5 at 6. Booked 2 hrs prior. Booking lost, huge hostess attitude when we declined waiting. Served rubber lobster, steak suppose to be blk,not and bday dessert forgotten. Never again

julie white

Service was amazing and the food was outstanding!!

Jason Allen

Always so impressed with the quality of food, inviting atmosphere and vibe of this place. Alex is an incredible host the overall customer service is unmatched locally.

Leita Innis

Our first visit and it was most enjoyable. Great menu with many meatless dishes. Great service and great ambiance. Would recommend this to everyone.

Jaylene Chesney

My fiancé and I were there Saturday night to celebrate our engagement and it was perfect. Not only was the food top notch, but our server, Kourtney was outstanding and definitely made it a night to remember. She even thought to bring us the cork from the champagne we ordered which we will definitely keep to remember our special day. When she found out what we were celebrating, she also offered to take our photo!! She was genuine throughout the night and always made sure our drinks were topped up and the table was clear. Thank you to Kourtney and the Big Fish for giving us an incredible night to remember forever!

Jamie Callum

Excellent menu Excellent staff Excellent experience

Total Driveway

Nice restaurant with a classy decor & great food! Fish tacos were very good. $$$$

Susan Chilton

So happy Big Fish has re-opened post pandemic measures. BEST seafood (and other delectable choices) in town, in a fun, funky, upscale atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Kahlil Roper

Food was really good. Had the calamari and rainbow trout. Lost a star because when I got home and opened my box that they took to the kitchen to pack, 2/3 of it was missing.????

Allison Humphrey

Very impressive restaurant with great waitstaff, lovely ambiance and amazing food. Will definitely be back!

Ron Pask

I've eaten here many times, never had a bad meal! The staff are awesome, very personable, very friendly and very attentive. Food is excellent. My favourite lunch is the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries. Don't ask me what they do different, but its the BEST in town. (And if you ask for extra buffalo sauce they actually give you extra, unlike a few other restaurants) Also try the Reuben sandwich with greek salad on the side. Warning - it will ruin you. It's the best reuben I've ever had, I prank you not. But after eating it here other restaurant's reuben sandwiches will leave you angry and unsatisfied. The bread is not soggy like most places usually serve, and they don't cheap out on small portions of meat. If you are debating about Big Fish, try it. It's one of the best restaurants in Sarnia.

liz cochrane

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner and everything was absolutely perfect from the bottle of wine we ordered, to the crab legs and steak. The decor is beautiful and the staff and atmosphere is excellent. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to all our friends and family.

Peggy Geromette

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere. A little more expensive than I was expecting.

Marcie Laframboise

What an encreditable restaurant Alex treats you like gold and the food was awesome! Can't wait to go back again!

Anne Tellier

Excellent service and food. My only comment would be that the serving size of potatoes could be reduced. A big thank you to the staff for a great dinner!

Jeff VanderSlagt

Delicious food, amazing steak, great service and a fine owner. The fish tacos are amazing and surprisonglu big. The Alaskan King Crab is tasty; however, the half pound option wasn't as large as expected.

Pete Klassen

Love Big Fish. Had seafood melt. Perfect, as always

Julia Therriault

Nice to have a choice of 3 different red house wines. I chose the 9 oz malbec and it was super. The lunch menu leaned towards fish and seafood, there was also an halibut and chips lunch special....all of which sounded great but I was having fish for supper so I got the chicken spaghettini. The portion was large and delicious. Their were large slices of tender chicken breast and chunks of fresh tomatoes and other vegetables. The sauce was a cheesy savoury heaven that could have easily stood on its own. Service from Trish efficient and delightful. Overall a great experience at Big Fish.

Attended a Chamber event and ended up staying for dinner. It was fabulous. The food was great as well as the service. Is definitely a restaurant on our list when looking for fish, seafood, and steak.

Robert Hamblin

Looks fancy on the surface with the ambiance and prices but the food isnt that great. Spinach dip and crab stuffed mushrooms are super heavy on cream cheese, escargot is in some sort of cream soup served with rock hard bread. Stuffed pork tenderloin was super overcooked, even the ovation chocolate that came with the bill was half melted. Will not be coming back unless its JUST for drinks.

Kerry Kraft

Some of the best food I've had in Sarnia! Highly recommend the pear salad!!

Elsbeth McCormick

demra hanna

This is the first time we came here. The food was awesome in both presentation and taste, ambience very comfortable, and service and staff where very friendly. Of course this also means a higher bill but not unexpected for the quality.

Paul Zarba

Onion soup extremely salty, ordered a salad with blue cheese and received salad with vinaigrette, getting a refill of water was an amazing achievement Other restaurants on Christina N have same menu items with A+++ service and less noisy music

Not from the area, ended up at big fish by chance. Super glad I did. The staff was super friendly. Food was outstanding.

Service slow, food Medicare, not worth the price charged I'm my opinion. Might have been an off day but did not impress me at all.
