Ferris' Upstairs Seafood & Oyster Bar

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 an open kitchen where there’s also chairs where you can sit. We were seated by the window, and we have a very nice and accommodating server, her name is Lilly. She’s very nice and can joke around. It was a nice experience dining in this restaurant, Highly recommended. Thank you for the great hospitality and for the great food! We will be back!

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 Dine Around Victoria and were very pleased with all the dishes offered and the service was fantastic as always. Definitely recommend a reservation as it’s a small place!

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 clams and duck.. both were super tasty! Highly recommended for romantic date or just a nice dinner with friends/family

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.

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 but slightly too oily for my taste. My strawberry mint gin drink was straight forward.

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? - pasta was perfectly prepared al dente, but the cheese, omg - it was not a cheese, it was some plastic bag. U can see it in pic; - the waitress was nice, but very in a hurry. She recommended a perfect local Pinot gri, but it was WARM: - we loved interior- very nicely 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 regular American burger quality. Actually, yesterday we had a very good chorizo burger at Town square restaurant in Pemberton. That burgers quality was better than had to be ours on of the best dishes in Victoria. Overall, the restaurant is overrated.

Loved the happy hour! They have good specials on drinks and food. The oysters were $2 each and were pretty fresh. The chorizo and hony puffs were also very tasty!

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.

Went there for happy hour with my family. Happy hour was delicious, service was excellent, we ended up staying for 3.5 hours and having mains after happy hour too. Food was great cant go wrong with anything on the happy hour menu. My family had a great time there.

I ordered a Seafood chowder and Bouillabaisse and got lost counting how many times I said “It’s so tasty!” while I was eating these super delicious meals!! Excellent food, great service and adequate prices. Will come again and again.
