  Fancy-ish place, great drink selection. My Very Italian was delicious, I actually had a couple. My friend’s salmon burger looked awesome (she said it was great) and the shrimps were tasty if not drowned in butter. Oysters were fresh however shucked too fast I believe? There was bits of shell all over. Like in all of them. Otherwise this would have gotten a 5 stars from me.

  My overall experience at this restaurant was good, however it did not start off well. When we arrived there was 2 other parties waiting in the small waiting area, and the other group of two said that they had not been acknowledged or spoken to for about 10 minutes so they did not know what was going on at all. They also said that someone had walked by a few times but was trying to avoid eye contact. After waiting for probably 5 minutes, my boyfriend went into the restaurant and spoke to someone who said a hostess would be up in a minute. She eventually did come, but did not welcome anyone or thank us for our patience, just asked what groups we were in. She told us about 30 minutes and we asked if we could leave our names and come back in half an hour, she said yes. When we came back, she at first just said that it would be about 15 minutes, then we reminded her that we had just been there and that she had said to come back; She apologized for not remembering us and sat us immediately. Our meal was AMAZING and we were glad that we decided to overlook the first portion of the experience. Our server was not very personable, but he was polite and efficient. We were happy with our meal, but there is no excuse for a busy and popular restaurant not to have a proper greeting and seating system. Making people wait without even acknowledging them is pretty frustrating!

  I've dined at Ferris a number of times and they've always been reliably good, the staff is always wonderful and very helpful. Their seafood and cocktails are also very good, the 5th star is because when I went for a quick dinner before a play when I only had 45 minutes they did great work in getting my food out very quickly, plus my 3 year old daughter loves their mussels, and their cook staff is very conscientious, they actually take out the dead shellfish before the dish gets to you, rare in a restaurant... and the atmosphere is cozy enough for a date or comfortable enough to bring my children.

  My friends and I dined here last night and the food was great!! I had the house-made veggie burgers, and it was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. All the meals were generous portions at a reasonable price. I look forward to dining there again.
