Reviews of The Blue Sail Seafood Market & Restaurant (Restaurant)

James Dooley

What a nice surprise! We were lucky enough to discover the Blue Sail by driving by and popping in to see if they had a table. Ordered the linguine with shrimp and spicy sausage and it was perfectly done - just the right portion size, pasta perfectly al dente, flavour incredible. Caesar salad was wonderfully made, and delicately seasoned. All together a wonderful meal and the staff are great, too. Highly recommended!

The Ahi Tuna Wontons are tasty! Great service!

Renee Chaaya

The atmosphere and friendly service really made the experience. I recommend the dark chocolate and port at the end of the night.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner last Friday, and overheard the neighbouring table raving about the Haddock and chips. I had delicious Tuna Ahi and Scallops cooked to perfection. My wife’s shellfish allergies were carefully considered, settling on a nice Ceasar and excellent grilled Atlantic Salmon. Service was very prompt and friendly. Excellent local wines offered. Enjoyed Broken Stone Riesling and Sans Chen Chardonnay.

Anton Durzi

Not impressed! The server was nice, but very stressed every time she came to the table. No one wants to see that! The calamari portion was so little. We ordered mussels but she said they were out, people came 15 minutes after us and they did get mussels! Will not give them my business again!!

Less busy than most and I'm not sure why! Perfect scallop risotto. Delicious fish and chips. Great wine list. Highly recommend.

Ben Wilson

We absolutely loved The Blue Sail. Nice cozy atmosphere, very nicely designed interior and the food was amazing, as well as friendly attentive staff. I had the the scallops with cauliflower purée and my girlfriend had the beet salad with mussels on the side. The scallops were perfectly cooked, plate presentation was very good.

Cory Contini

Been a few times and absolutely love it! Fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices, flavour is always on point and also texturally too! Clearly a lot of thought goes into the menu and execution so kudos to the chef and thanks for maintaining consistent hours even in the off season!

Closed middle of the day on a Saturday when all we want is some fish and chips ????????????????????????????

Best seafood I ever tasted

Not the place to go for a nice dinner. Both meals cold and had to be returned. Owner/ mgr. not concerned enough to walk over to the table. Portion size not great but acceptable. Portions of my steak were grissly and chewy. It was our first time trying the new restaurant and it was a disappointment. No rush to return.

Our 20th anniversary celebration almost was a disaster but Blue Sail saved the day. We had to leave our original dining choice after a series of service mistakes so arrived in this casual venue attended by an enthusiastic Jason, whose energetic charm got things off to a great start. The salmon tartare was perfectly seasoned as was my risotto topped with pan seared scallops. My SO’s ciopino was a delicious fennel-tomato base with shrimp, mussels, white fish and clams. The comped carrot cake was the sweet finish to an evening orchestrated by people who care about their customers as much as they do the food.

Soo much potential, but... extremely over priced. My wife ordered the shrimp and recieved 5 small shrimp on a skewer for $24.00 and nothing else. They were cold and didnt appear to be grilled. The server forgot about our bottle of wine. We kindly brought this to the owners attention, as we want them to be successful and was rebuffed. As with all restaurants; food plus labour cost should be 60 perc of sales... this is clearly not the case here. Please get you prices in line with industry norms.

Had the mussels and salmon burger. Everything was so good its hard to choose a favorite. Friendly service and they even brought a water dish out for the pup. Can't wait to go back!

After a six-hour drive to Picton, we were looking for a place to eat dinner as I was starving. After being turned away from a couple of restaurants with no available tables, we came across the blue sail restaurant. I ordered the grilled Atlantic salmon. After 25 minutes, the server brought me my food. I was so famished and took a bite of the fish. It was incredibly undercooked, extremely pink and clearly not safe to eat. I informed the server and requested her to cook it. She brought the plate into the kitchen and came back five minutes later, warning me about how hot the plate was. Since you cannot grill a plate, she clearly microwaved the undercooked fish and thought this was an adequate solution. I took another bite out of the fish, and it was still uncooked, pink, and the texture confirmed that she merely microwaved the fish. I told the server that it was still uncooked and expressed my disappointment to her. She didn’t have a solution, and she packed the fish up for me in a takeout box to cook at home while I’m on vacation. If I had to cook fish at home, why would I pay this restaurant $35? I am immensely disappointed by the horrible customer service and poor quality of food. I have never had an experience as problematic as my “dinner” at the Blue sail this evening. Meanwhile my daughter ordered a delicious poutine from the Vic Cafe as the blue sail could only offer her lettuce. I would highly recommend going to the Vic Cafe instead, better customer service too.

Good seafood. Oysters, scallop rissoto and the cioppino were delicious.

Elizabeth Cowan

The food is fresh & delicious & interesting; even the carrots are better than anybody else's carrots! The service is cheerful & prompt. I was puzzled to see that someone found the portions small -- I've always found them more than generous.

Jane McGall

One of our favourite restaurants! We've had lovely experiences dining in; but since Covid we've taken advantage of their weekend specials. So delicious!! This time we had salad, entrees and desserts for 2, added our own rice and shared between 3 adults. Plenty of food and such wonderful flavours. So lucky to have these folks in the community!

Jeffrey Azevedo

Fantastic! The sausage and shrimp pasta is by far some of the best pasta I’ve had in years. Highly recommended!

Allen Rahni

one of the best seafood i had in my life, amazing friendly service and awesome food

Dan G.

Service was good. Tried the lobster-shrimp burger - good, mussels came out underdone at first but resolved and good, risotto - was ok just not extraordinary for the price. Oysters were delish.

Joyce Wong

The food was tasty but small portion size in comparison to the price you pay! The seafood dish (ciopinno) was flavourful but the mussels and clams were quite small and the portion of fish was really not enough...Also would recommend you go earlier as they ran out of the dishes we wanted to order(the clam linguini and carrot cake.) For $65 including tip..(2 mains)... really expecting a bit more!

Dylan Todhunter

Shrimp risotto + fish n chips was excellent!

Paul Vandenburg

Ambience and service was very good . Ordered the fish and chips and was extremely disappointed with portion size of fish. Haddock is definitely a cheaper fish and should allow for a decent size piece. Because of the the small thin piece it ended up overdone and chewy. The plate was offset with an abundance of very good tasting fries. Coleslaw was great but then again very little. Expected more from a higher end seafood place

Dinner

Maeghan Mollema

Absolutely delicious! They know how to prepare seafood. Reservations recommended. Small intimate, great service.

Fanny Fraissebenvenuto

(Translated) Very good restaurant with fresh fish, shellfish and seafood. Very welcoming and professional staff. (Original) Très bon restaurant avec poissons, crustacés et fruits de mer frais. Personnel très accueillant et professionnel.

Annick Tremblay

Food was a bit disappointing (very small amount of ahi tuna for the price, portions were small and underwhelming). Hostess was a bit cold but the server was an absolute gem.

Evan Little

Despite the lockdown, the quality of seafood is outstanding! The oysters have been a hit everytime I've purchased them but the beet cured smoked salmon takes the cake. It's simply the best smoked fish I had in a long time. They're also fantastic with the small things ex. Oysters cleaned ready to shuck.

Pretty hit and miss in the store. Staff seem interrupted by customers. Inventory - even frozen stuff - is very sketchy.

Sarah Kim

Great dining experience combined with excellent service by Jason. We had four different dishes at our table.- lobster risotto, Arctic char, tuna, and seared scallops All were excellent and cooked to perfection. Small cozy dining area. Light music in the background. Perfect for conversation around the table. We’ll definitely be back.

NOT ACCOMODATING AT ALL!!!

fresh seafood, amazing friendly staff, if you are looking for an awesome place to get some high quality food, good service and also the chance to buy the ingredients for a great meal (seafood market), look no further. i love this place, and every time I am in Picton ON, all the meals that they offer (usually lunch and dinner), I am there. they accompany good food with a great drinks selection. can't recommend it enough. 15 out of 10 for food and service.
