    Though raw oysters bring people inside, the cooked seafood is ridiculous and layered with surprising flavors. Eat anything the staff offers, but the grilled calamari with chorizo is smoky magic.

    what surprised me was the other items on the menu, like starters and side dishes. We tried Grilled Squid with Almond Tarator and deep-fried oysters. Absolutely another level of preparing seafood!

    Most people pick this place for raw oysters, though there is no doubt that they are one of the best places for that. Also, the friendly staff and service were excellent.

    Love the varieties of oysters not to mention the seafood pasta, every time I crave for non meat meal, it's my first choice...

    Amazing fresh oysters, delicious fish, super-friendly service. I wish the fries weren't shoestring, but that's just personal preference. These people do food right.

    You obviously enjoy excellent food. Chef Michael Stadtländer will be serving up his sumptuous, local and organic menu at the @EarthDayCanada Gala on June 6th at The Drake http://bit.ly/KSVhVK

    Redhead oysters are great and the onion rings with chipotle mayo are the best that I’ve ever had!!

    Sweet bivalves. Their spicy ginger sauce is like crack. And they sell oysters wholesale...if you're up to the shucking! (They sell boards & knives too)

    There's a reason nearly every restaurant in the city uses Oyster Boy as their wholesale provider of shuck-ables.

    Great oysters, but avoid everything else. Especially the caesar salad.

    Oysters were off, muscles weren’t fresh.Both of us got very sick 2h after eating there.Service’s awful, terrible at checking if we needed anything, bartender’s rude. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    You can get a combination of baked oysters, but my favourite is the champagne and Brie. Complements the oyster taste rather well!

    If you do not have reservations, they have a small bar for seating.
