Reviews portray Fish Bone as a place with incredibly fresh seafood and a menu that showcases flavorful sushi and sashimi along with standout mains. The dining experience is described as vibrant and welcoming, with a lively atmosphere, good music, and friendly, attentive staff. Service is typically fast and professional, though busy weekend nights or larger groups can bring slower kitchen times and occasional billing mixups. Several diners highlight not only the quality of seafood but also desserts and shareable plates, with items like salted caramel brioche and Rockefeller shrimp receiving particular praise, and vegan options such as Miyagi Maki and Maldive Salad underscoring variety. New Year and other celebrations are singled out for exceptional service and memorable atmospheres, while many reviews emphasize the consistency of the food and the care shown by the team. While most experiences are very positive and worth the price, a few comments mention fluctuations in quality or occasional delays that tested the overall value.
Le service c'est comme une famille la serveuse Naomie à l'écoute généreuse & la gérant sam super professionnelle service rapide à recommander & les bouteilles
The floor to ceiling windows, antique plank flooring, minimalist furniture, & the 70s soul soundtrack give this place a cool comfortable vibe. As someone who is hung up on details, I appreciate that. Nothing is out of place here. The bus stations are perfectly organized. The furniture candles, glasses, flatware, etc. are symmetrically arranged.
The menu is bursting with creativity with interesting takes on Japanese sushi bar classics. There was also a selection of steaks & seafood options.
I was taken back by oysters that were served topped with fresh raspberries. It was a great idea. The acid from the raspberries worked as a subtle mignonette & paired well with the subtle brinyflavor of the oysters.
Black cod served with green beans & grilled white asparagus. Everything is perfectly cooked & seasoned.
Staff was cordial, attentive & interactive without being intrusive.
The negative reviews make no sense to me. It seems any past issues have been rectified. I've been in the business for several decades, & I can say that they hit every mark.
Had a great experience at Fishbone. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was fresh & delicious . Big thanks to our kind & attentive waitress & the manager for checking in & making us feel cared for. Excellent service all around.
Highly recommend!

This place gives me mixed feelings. We were there for a friends birthday & when I arrived they told us there was no reservation to our name. They seemed extremely unorganized & had us standing in the entrance way while they tried to find us seats because they realized they had made an error on our reservation. They were clearly in disarray. I did enjoy the food however. The ambiance is nice really vibrant with LIT energy . Another big issue is the service. The food took extremely long to come, we had to repeat some of the orders & some of the items never showed up. Also some of the items were on the wrong bills which was confusing & took a while to figure out. Such a shame because the food like i said we actually enjoyed.
This used to be my go to in Montreal. I was here last summer a few times & loved the food, drinks & service. The quality, 6 months later, has significantly gone down. While we enjoyed the oysters & rock sushi, the burrata & salmon tartare were no longer better than average. We also tried the buffalo cauliflower which was a big disappointment but thankfully the waiter removed from our bill. No duck tacos available either.
This was my second visit to Fishbone, & I'm just as pleased as I was the first time. The food continues to be top-notch, & the bar staff can accommodate nearly any request. Our waiter, Renzo, was exceptional-attentive, friendly, & made sure we had everything we needed. As always, the restaurant hosts incredible DJs, & this time DJ Fice really stood out with a versatile mix that kept the vibe going all night. I'll definitely be back!
I don't know why this is rated in the 3's... to me, should be at the minimum a 4.0. It is pricey, no doubt, so that may be where the lower rating is coming from, with all things considered. Service - 4.5/5 - Every waiter & waitress was so friendly & happy to serve. The only reason for a .5 star off is because the service was a little slow to initially take our orders; however, they could have been short staffed, so either way, still great service. Food - 4.5/5 - The rock n roll was AMAZING... & I JUST came back from Japan, so me saying this really means something. I'd say the price is the only downfall, in terms of its overall value. It is quite big for a sushi roll, but still. If it was $10, this would be a 5/5.. the lower rating is literally just because of the cost. Definitely order this if you are here though, you won't regret trying it. Ambiance - 4.5/5 - Great restaurant/lounge vibe, with a DJ that starts playing music later on in the night. It was really boujee & my friends & I all really enjoyed our food & time there.
Good service, there was a miscommunication on the order & the server offered my meal for free which I refused. The food is good depends what's you like.
This is indeed one of the golden mines of Montreal. If you're looking for the best place to have the mind blowing combo of high quality food, tasty drinks, great music & atmosphere (DJ was here as well) & best service, ask for Asia! She is amazing at her job as one plus her recommendations were so good, we didn't want to leave! 10 out of 10, now it's my favorite restaurant in here.
Cod & octopus were excellent. Excellent service staff who made a knowledgeable wine pairing. Expensive but worth it. Met anothet couple outside who were dissatisfied. They ordered sushi. I say if you want sushi, go to an asian sushi restaurant. If you want good cooked seafood, then this place is worth the visit.
