It was a let down.
The Oysters are okay. But next time I want good oysters I will definitely go to Oyster Boy on Queen. Why? Service.
Our server seemed mildly surprised when we said we wanted to order more that drinks. When we asked about the oyster selection her response was vague and uninformed. We pretty much ordered blind, half dozen was tasty, the other half dozen was unsatisfying for our taste. A more informed server would have been able to guide us better.
Food took forever, and our server forgot we existed. We would have ordered more oysters after the initial round, but we couldn't flag anybody down to take an order. We just got bored looking at empty plates and realized we weren't hungry anymore.
We also ordered a lobster risotto, which was a tremendous rip off. There were one or two tiny chunks of lobster and a whole bunch of chopped up shrimp. Teeny tiny shrimp, the cheap kind. If you you are going to call it lobster risotto, put some friggin' lobster in there.
Finally, the price doesn't match the quality. Won't be back. Much better places for Oysters in town. -

This place is adorable!
It is easy to get comfortable here because the staff are incredibly helpful and super friendly. As well, the decor is east coast unassuming. It's a good balance to the Bay Street Ego.
Not to mention, the oysters were fantastic!
Great for drinks and a snack! -

This place is exactly what Bay Street needed.
Rodney's on King is good - but it feels a little like fishermans warf.
The Bay Street location is classy, with great serving staff, and aweome menu and overall great dining experience.
I like to sit at the oyster bar as it is fun and social, but there are more private seats if you want to be left alone. -

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I just came from a delicious lunch at Rodney's By bay and I am so happy! I love the original Rodney's and now I love this place which is more convenient for lunch during the week.
The place is square shaped, with a square shaped bar with seats all around, and tables in the front and on the far side. We sat at the furthest table in the corner. Cool vibe, cool bar, and comfortable.
The food was delicious. We started with a dozen oysters, all up to par. Then we split a bunch of apps. The fries were great, the tuna tartare 3 ways was delicious, the calamari was perfect and the crab cakes were only ok. Oh! And the smoked salmon was melt in your mouth scrumptious.
I really like the vibe and the food here. Service was fine too. Very nice, not long waits fine.
One weird thing. There were a lot of older man/younger women couples here. Is that a common Friday lunch thing, or is it because of the oysters? Just an odd note.
Good beers on tap, and they have half pints, which I always like.
The location is convenient, but it is on a off-the-beaten path street, with nothing else there. Go anyway. -

Excellent seafood spot. Great beer selections, wine list could and should be improved. Casual feel that you would expect from a seafood bar. Food was very clean and fresh. Service was great and friendly.

a really excellent experience; so good i went back the following night - equally good. the lobster roll was both original and flavorsome: the mussels with onion and bacon excellent. Add a decent sauvignon blanc and the evening was complete.

Great staff, they're wonderful! - knowledgeable and friendly, Amazing oysters, love the Raspberry Point and Kumamotos. Moules et Frites are good too. Can get really noisy here, especially during lunch with the banker/lawyer crowd. And you NEED a reservation.. the place is very small and you typically can't get a table at lunch without one.

Customer Service at its Best. Recently I was going to the opera, and decided to have supper with a friend beforehand and made the necessary reservation and also left my business card with my e-mail address on it. Two days before the event I received an e-mail advising me that they had booked a rather large after-work drinks party for the same time as my reservation, It was suggested that this might not be the time or place for an intimate supper. However, as far a I was concerned this was not a problem, and we had a fine supper tucked around the corner at the bar and enjoyed being part of the Bay Street Boys crowd even just for an hour or so. Again Customer Service at its Best.......Thanks.
