What a treat!! The oysters--we tried about 6 kinds at the suggestion of our wonderful server--were fabulous, clams tasted like the ocean. Our meal, PEI Lobster with blue foot and other exotic mushrooms in a light cream sauce was to die for--a real bargain at only $26 including sides. Even the sides of potatoes and another of vegetables were expertly... more

We went on a Saturday in January for a late lunch. We hadn't sampled many different types of oysters before and asked our server to pick out a dozen. He did a great job explaining the different kinds and offering tips on how to season them (skip the sauces!). We also had crab cakes with arugula salad from the lunch... more

Best oyster is in PEI fresh from water. Not Rodney's, not Oyster Boy. If you can't wait go there but it is still miles away from the freshest from the barn in PEI. more

Anyone who thinks that a dozen oysters automatically refers to tiny malpeques will be shocked to see the variety available here. Fresh horseradich and lemmon accompanies a myriad of different sauces to complement the oysters - from a light mignonette to a heavy hot sauce. something for all palettes. more
