Rodney's was very average. We sat on the patio, which is a lovely outdoor space; however, the food was neither bad nor exceptional. Suffice to say, there must be better options for seafood. Server didn't quite deliver. All plates were brought to the table at the same time. This made the table very crowded and obviously certain dishes cooled while we worked on our appetizers. I think it is reasonable to expect appetizers to arrive before the mains. Also had to request that empty dishes be cleared. The oysters weren't shucked properly and had some dirt sediments floating about. Aside from that can't really complain but nothing to rave about either.

Nice place for a nice dinner. Very pricy and servings are pretty small for what you pay. They do have an amazing selection of oysters and fresh seafood. I ordered their lobster roll - it was pretty good, but for the price was a much smaller dish than expected. The staff is on point and very good. If you’re looking for a night out, give this place a try!

The oysters were very fresh. We had 4 types of oysters, but I can't remember which kind, but you could taste the differences in each type. The scallops were so good, we wished we ordered more. We saw another table get the lobster roll, so we ordered it and were not disappointed at all. The lobster tasted so fresh and had big chunks in it. The fish and chips were also good. Some of the best fries and onion rings I've tasted! The service was also amazing. The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu! Great lunch option if you are looking for fresh seafood in the city.

What a special restaurant. We are so lucky to have this spot in Toronto. Not only are the oysters fresh, from all over the world!!!! But also masterfully shucked. We usually go to maple for our oysters or Snug harbour in Mississauga but this was by far the best experience eating oysters we have had to date. We have even fished out our own oysters and eaten them and this was still this best time we had. Can’t really explain it much more than that. You really just have to go and experience it for yourself!!! Shout out to Deon for being the best server!!!!!

Amazing place! No wonder it was ranked as the top spot for seafood in Toronto! The variety and freshness of the oysters are uncomparable to anything I've had in Toronto! The lobster was just too good! And the special pan seared halibut with grilled octopus is as fine as it can get! The sauce for the dish was nothing short of spectacular! And don't even think of missing the Chocolate mousse!! Overall would definitely come back again!! The staff were brilliant!!

Still dreaming about my dinner here.... Everything was amazing and an unrushed dining experience. Hostess was friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was super funny and easy going and made some great suggestions. Lots of Fresh Oyster choices and the portions of all the other stuff was perfect for sharing. Highly recommend and cannot wait to come back.

Come for the Oysters!! Duh it’s in the name. Had a great meal at Rodney’s. Oysters were so fresh and they had such a wide variety - it was nice to try something we have never had before. Our server made some great recommendations based off our previous preferences, likes and dislikes. Tuna tartar was fantastic, recommended ordering that on your next visit. Now the reason this review is only a 4/5 stars - as a party of 8 we were subject to 18% auto gratuity which we were unaware of, which resulted in us tipping our server a 38% tip on all four of our bills. We only noticed the next day on the fine print of the bill. Our mistake but after a few cocktail who’s reading the fine print anyways. This will not deter us from coming back, now we just know for next time. Favourite new oyster - the Kumamoto from Japan, tiny but packed with tons of flavour. Recommend ordering on your next outing to Rodney’s!

This place was top notch. Oysters were delicious and fairly priced. Clam chowder was super tasty. Lobster and the crab was $55/lb (I think that’s correct). The lobster was super tasty and fun to have. The place itself was super awesome inside and the patio was relaxing and nicely spaced out. The servers were so friendly. They were honest with us about recommendations and knew a lot about the oysters. They genuinely seemed like they enjoyed working here which just makes us enjoy it so much more. Thank you for a fabulous time. We will come back in the future!

This downtown Toronto gem is undoubtedly the best seafood place in town. The Atlantic oyster mix was a delightful treat, incredibly juicy and mouthwatering. Personally, I couldn't get enough of the PEI oysters, while my bf fell in love with the ones from Nova Scotia. The clams and mussels were top-notch, and the crab soup was simply delicious. The super-friendly waitress added a personal touch to the experience. We're already planning to return for another weekend seafood date.

Wow, this place is heavenly. I’d you love oysters and haven’t been here… do yourself a favour and try it out! We had 24 Freshly Shucked Oysters - we described what we liked and had our server pick them for us. He did not disappoint. They have a large selection of hot sauces to pair, and mignonette. The Sea Scallop Ceviche was delicious! It was vibrant and citrusy. It comes with tasty plantain chips, which in my opinion works perfectly. The sever also chose a bottle of white to pair, it was an Edna Rosa - beautiful. I would 100% revisit when in town.

Been visiting this place for over 15 years and this is the city’s best oyster bar! There’s a large array of oyster selections from coast to coast. Their kitchen food is also very yummy. I particularly like the steamed little neck clams, and New England clam chowder soup from their kitchen. My daughter ordered pasta, and it was also quite good. It’s more fun when you sit at the oyster bar. Servers are all friendly and efficient. Bar atmosphere like minus the rowdiness

If I could of I would give it a 4.4. Overall really good starters and mains especially the Smoker’s Platter but the whole menu is brought down by the sides. From the salad to the fries and even the onion rings they were a huge disappointment. Also certain dishes such as the lobster roll are brought down by the quality of the bread and the sauce being nothing special but most of the actual fish was fresh and high quality. Overall I would go again but I would only stick to mains such as the crab cakes, lobster and the desserts are worth it as long as you have a sweet tooth.

We let our waiter choose our oysters. I really enjoyed the east coast ones (valley I think it was called?) but not the west coast ones as they were too creamy for me. Their red cocktail sauce is SO good. I wasn’t really a fan of the spicy sauce. We ended up getting another half dozen of the east coast oysters because they’re just so good! The lobster roll and onion rings were definitely my favourite. I didn’t really like the candied salmon and artichoke. I’m used to candied salmon being more thin and like jerky. I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t order it again. I’m definitely coming back for another lobster roll and to try the hot smoked salmon!

The food was incredible for someone who never had much seafood before. Now of course, the venue was very large and spacious and had a great vibe. The service was wonderful and I believe our server was named Blake(apologies if I misremembered). He was polite and gave us a bunch of suggestions to try. We had the oysters, lobster roll and the seafood platter and all were delicious. My issue with the lobster roll was that it was relatively small for its price but overall the taste is amazing.

Came here for dinner last night with my fiancé and had an amazing experience. We had the clam chowder, oysters, lobster roll, scallops, and key lime pie, and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was very nice too, and explained all the different oyster varieties and flavours. Will definitely be back!

We stumbled across this place & are so happy we did. Amazingly fresh oysters, prawns & scallops. Nick recommend an amazing wine. Great service & lovely ambiance. Would definitely recommend & visit again if we are ever in Toronto again.

If you love seafood like me, you definitely need to go to Rodney’s! The oysters are very fresh, flavour wise is not that strong but still good enough! The onion ring is so good as well. Very crispy and well seasoned. The Manhattan chowder is not bad, but the seafood flavour is not that rich if I am honest. Finally, for our mains, they are served in a large wood board (as we are sharing the food) which did make the food more mouth watering. Scallop was really good, well cooked, crispy outside still medium inside, high quality scallops. Sea bass is good too, if they can use some local fish (ours come from Greece) then it will be better. Crab cake is not bad, generous portions and full of crab meat but again the crab flavour doesn’t stand out. Lobster roll, looks better than it taste, it is the only dish that below the standard indeed. I literally can’t taste the lobster flavour at all. The brioche is good though, toasted well. Service was good as well, server was friendly and did give good explanation to the food! Overall, food are reasonably price with decent good portion! Rodney’s will definitely be on my list to come back again!

You always need to book an appointment here and even if you do you will need to wait a bit depending on the day or time. Overall experience is really good. We had oysters which were really high quality. The scallops are really the best Main dish you can order here IMO. The Wine was great white wine from California I think. We had two waiters who were very helpful.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Rodney Oysters! The oysters were wonderfully fresh and clean, the tuna tataki was simply amazing, and the scallop ceviche was delightful. The England clam chowder was also quite good. My family absolutely loved it! The only minor downside was that the service was slightly slow, but that didn't diminish our enjoyment. Highly recommended!

I celebrated my 35th birthday at Rodney's, and it was a decent gathering. Having previously enjoyed a delightful date night at this spot, we had high expectations for the celebration – and I can't say that they delivered. The hostess warmly greeted us, setting the tone for a lively and chill ambiance. Accommodating our party of 20 in the Cuddy Room, the setup included a long table for 14 and a smaller one for 6, with a TV. Our server, Jessa, impressed us with her direct and efficient service, managing our large group on her own with commendable skill. Daytime manager Julius went above and beyond, personally saying hi and assisting with bringing out dishes – truly easy to work with and accommodating. The surprise personalized menu, featuring a "Happy Birthday Mira" at the top, added a wonderful touch of warmth and surprise. Despite a small hiccup with my name being misspelled, we rolled with it, adding an unexpected element of laughter to our night. Now, let's talk about the highlight – the food! The $68 prix fixe menu earned a solid 5/5. From Tuna Tartare at $25 (my personal favorite) to the perfectly balanced House Salad at $13 and the crunchy, just-right Calamari at $15, every dish delighted our taste buds. Moving on to the second course, the Lobster Rolls at $36 were generously packed with lobster, accompanied by a side of salad and onion rings that left me thoroughly satisfied. The Crab Cakes priced at $32 were both crunchy and impeccably cooked. The Black COD, our catch of the day at $33.16, was expertly seasoned and incredibly flavorful. Lastly, the scallops at $33.50 were nothing short of delicious – our entire group fell into a momentary silence as we savored each bite. Our celebration at Rodney's descended into a series of regrettable incidents, casting a dark shadow over what should have been a joyous occasion. The initial blow came from a server's abrupt and discourteous interruption of our conversation, carrying plates of Crab Cakes while bluntly stating, "Okay, I have to put these down somewhere!" The impolite tone from the server caught our guests completely off guard, creating an unexpected and uncomfortable atmosphere. The lack of communication and coordination between the daytime manager, Julius and our server, Jessa regarding pre-agreed separate bills for each family proved to be intensely frustrating. Despite our clear arrangement, Jessa obstinately insisted on the standard one-bill practice for the room, disregarding our prior understanding with the manager. The billing system added fuel to our dissatisfaction. Anticipating a straightforward prix fixe menu, we were instead met with a perplexing itemized breakdown. Jessa's loud and aggressive announcement, "I can't do separate bills; we occasionally don't do that for the Cuddy Room!" echoed through the entire group, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere that lingered for the rest of the night. While Pete attempted to shed light on the market price aspect, the uncommunicated promise of a bar tab left our group unaware, depriving us of an option we would have appreciated. Understanding the market price aspect was crucial, especially for the majority of our guests experiencing Rodney's for the first time. As a group, we wanted to understand the reason the bill turned into an itemized breakdown. Regrettably, our server failed to invest time and effort at the end of the night, leaving the impression that she was merely eager to sign out. Upon thorough calculation of our entire bill, it became apparent that she had mistakenly charged us for an extra COD, facing unnecessary headaches that could have been avoided with a simple conversation. We called Julius and left a voice-mail yesterday; now, we are waiting for their response. While the food was exceptional, the deficiency in customer service was disheartening. It's a genuine disappointment considering the overall potential for a fantastic dining experience.

We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a great time! Our server was super friendly and really nice. Our experience with the food was not consistent. Although the scallops I had was absolutely delicious, my friend who ordered lobster sandwich found the lobster to be chewy. The fries weren't really the best. We also had oysters and most of them were good. I complained about one oyster that was funny and our server graciously took a few off our bill. I would likely go back again. It's a great place to enjoy good sea food!

Incredible oyster experience! My brother was interested in trying the oysters for his first time, and the waitress was very helpful in explaining the process and selections to him. He loved them so much! My mom also had the cooked oysters and she loved them a lot too!! I had the fish and chips and it was definitely better than your ordinary fish and chips!! Thank you for seating our walk in table of 4 on a night where no one else was taking walk ins! Super cute tucked away patio too!

I was visiting Toronto this weekend and my friend recommended Rodney’s. I’ve never been but it looked nice and we called to make a reservation. After a really long introduction voice mail we pressed 0 and made a reservation. Had a really great food and good service would definitely go back here with some friends next time I visit

Oh man! This place was incredible... First off, the oysters here were outstanding, they tasted so fresh and delicious! The seafry was pretty good but the shrimp and grits??!! OH EM GEE, that dish, by far, is one of my absolute favorite! Pair this entire food experience with an amazing service?! Our server (Court - I really hope I heard him right) was an absolute AMAZING individual. I am so glad I asked for his recommendation because the Mystic oysters were phenomenal, and his suggestion of the shrimp and grits was probably the best thing I was ever recommended at a restaurant. 1000/10, would definitely go back to this amazing restaurant!!!

First time here with my best friend. As soon as we entered, the hostess was very welcoming, checked on our table (we made reservations), and then seated us. We were both excited since we had never been to an oyster bar/restaurant. Jimmy came to our table and was very kind and helpful as we had no clue what oysters to order. He arranged a little mixed plate of six to start. They were amazing and so fresh! We loved them all and ordered another plate. We also couldn't choose from the menu on the mains as everything looked good. We went with the Sea Fry and the Nice Fundy Scallops. The chocolate mousse was so yummy and decadent (sorry, didn't get a pic because we finished it so fast). The food was fantastic! Service for the rest of the night was great! We also purchased Rodney's Seawitch sauce after trying it on the oysters. This was one of the best food experiences we've had in Toronto and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to all, especially lovers of oysters and seafood!

Went here for lunch with the family. We had an amazing experience here. The food was really delicious. The mussels were probably the best I've had in the last decade. I loved my double salmon burger. The kids also loved the fish and chips. This place definitely gets a big recommendation from me.

Rodney's continues to reign supreme in the oyster world, but lately I've come to appreciate their other offerings more. Went there recently for dinner and I have to say, the Smoker's Platter for 2 is some of the best smoked fish I've had in the city, and the onion rings are amazingly sweet and easily the best in the city. Service is friendly and efficient, place has a casual energy to it. While prices are high, they're worth it if you like quality seafood without a lot of bells and whistles where the quality is made to shine. Long live Rodney's!

and while the food was quite good, there were a few things that left me with mixed feelings. First off, the price point was somewhat high, and I didn't feel like the furnishing and atmosphere of the restaurant reflected the price. That being said, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great dining experience, and they were happy to answer any questions we had about the menu or the ingredients. As for the food, it was undeniably delicious. The seafood was fresh and expertly prepared, and the flavors were unique and well-balanced. While the price point was somewhat high, I felt like the quality of the food justified the cost. Overall, while I had mixed feelings about this seafood restaurant, I would still recommend it to others. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was undeniably delicious. If you're willing to pay a somewhat high price for quality seafood, this place is worth checking out. Just don't expect the atmosphere or furnishings to reflect the price point.

We always have an enjoyable time at Rodney's for their amazing selection of Oysters, seafood, and service. We were a party of four, ordered sides, thin French fries, clam chowder, and I believe we tried 6-7 types of Oysters, including thise from japan, New Zealand and western and atlantic Canada. We narrowed down to 3 that we order 3 dozens to share. It was a great evening and a place great for celebrations and dining with friends.

Sat at the bar, great atmosphere, friendly service. Had to try the oysters 🦪 fresh and fried and the scallops that in my opinion were just a bit over cooked but still really fresh. Recommend, might want to make a reservation.

We ordered the special live Norwegian King Crab at $129/lb for the experience. He was 7 lbs. They present The crab to you live (brownish colour in the picture). The crab was good but nothing special about the preparation. Boiled and came with butter for dipping but no option of dipping flavours unlike at Captain's Boil. We also had a side of rapini and potatoes which were very nicely done. The service was pretty good and the room temperature was comfortable, but the music was too loud.

Oysters were very good. Sea fry was good as well. The rest of the food from lunch menu was not worth it. Portions are small and overpriced. We’ll be back only for the oysters next time

I’ve been going to Rodney’s since I was a kid for over a decade now. It’s always been a place of nostalgia and family time for me personally. I had also gone on Valentine’s Day for their special and it is also an amazing place for dates, very atmospheric! The food is amazing and hearty and the star of Rodney’s is their oysters. The oysters are always fresh with the greatest quality and the staff always gives attentive recommendations. Speaking of staff, Juan Felipe was amazing! He was shucking the oysters behind the bar and had a very friendly and charismatic persona. He answered every one of our questions about the dishes and drinks with great detail and a big smile on his face, he is very knowledgeable. If you love seafood, Rodney’s should definitely be on your list of places to try in Toronto.

I eat here a lot since I work in the area. I have to say the customer service is always awesome and they keep the spot well kept constantly. Pricing is reasonable and they serve generous portions.

I celebrated my PhD this evening in this gorgeous place. happy to tell that we passed a fabulous evening and the place was undoubtedly the reason for that outstanding celebration. The waiters contributed in a sweet way, the cooking was great and my friends were very glad. We shall surely return for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

We ordered for delivery clam chowder, lobster roll which were great And Crab Cake was good, but not the best

Excellent seafood. Food here was super fresh and tasted as if it was just pulled fresh from the ocean. The outdoor seating was nice an spacious. Staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgable about the food. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great oysters and seafood.

Rodney's is somewhat of a Toronto staple insofar as oyster houses (and similar institutions) go. While I think their food is great, it's hard for me to award more than three stars, because I find the value proposition it offers to be rather poor. The staff are friendly, professional, and attentive, and of course the place itself has a great classic vibe. But the prices really are on the high side for what you get. I get that the novelty of maritime eating is yet to pass Toronto- hopefully it does soon, so that places like this can bring down/normalize their prices. I'm well aware that the ingredients are expensive and there's no doubt an eye-watering rent to cover, but bring the prices down at least 20% to bring things more into the realm of reality.

Friendly staff, chowder was the best! We also ordered the lobster roll and the fried oyster po'boy everything was good.

Food was delicious and fresh. Great mixture of spices and tastes. the people were really helpful and informative. Genuinely looked like they love their job and the people they worked with. Great experience!

Absolute Oyster Dominance Truly this is one of the best places in Toronto for Oysters. I love them, and there are other spots to get them cheaper but no one comes close to Rodney’s; Selection, expert shucking, service in guiding you through the experience. This most recent visit we were taken on a journey of flavour with a dozen different types of Oysters. Sit at the bar if you want Oysters, get to watch them shuck. I always have the Oyster Slapjack which is a soup that has oysters in it, delicious. This place is amazing for groups, if you have a conference or gathering in town, precook their private room. Remember that King St. has been converted to a transit corridor now so very little street parking but King West is a major nightclub hot spot and there are multiple safe and professional underground lots steps from Rodney’s. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend the oysters here! The staff was also great and were super helpful with the order. I just wish they had a easily visible list for the oysters that are available but the staff was nice enough to tell us what they had. Also recommend the lime pie!

The best lobster roll I’ve ever had! I’ve been coming here for years and I could never get sick of their fresh oysters. Pair it all with a bottle of white wine!

THANK YOU! My favourite restaurant... had my aunt reccomend this place for good seafood and oysters early this year. I’ve been 3 times and each time I couldn’t be happier. Their wait staff has been so welcoming and friendly I feel a part of the family while eating. Amazing food, fair prices. Always happy to leave a large tip. Kudos guys keep doing such a good job I reccomend you to everyone I know who likes seafood!

Love this place. The best oysters in Toronto, great atmosphere and the food is always delicious.

Lobster roll was absolutely delicious!!!

Hall of fame! Eamon and team r the real deal

Best seafood in Toronto!

I had fantastic service and enjoyed some delicious oysters. The patio is beautiful and allows for some great views of the distillery.

The food and ambiance was delectable!

Lovely oysters and chowders

Best oyster 🦪 house in the city! Great service and the oyster is always fresh...we particularly like the meatier oysters 👌

A Toronto staple! awesome place

Arguably the best oysters in Toronto.

Not impressed, food was ok but pricey and the place looks a little worn

The oysters are to die for here

Our first time to Rodney’s was recently and although the food was great the service was terrible. Our waitress clearly did not want to be there and then halfway through our meal a waiter came with a bottle of wine and placed two glasses in front of us and poured a taste for my wife. We thought it was just a kind gesture but halfway through my wife trying the wine another waitress told him this was the wrong table. He did not apologize or offer her a glass only walked away and left two empty glasses on our table without a word. It was awkward and unprofessional.

Amazing seafood and menu choices. Quiet ambiance with great serving 10/10

Delicious and great range of oysters Server made excellent recommendations based on our preferences

Everything about this place was amazing. Had oysters, the lobster roll, crab cakes and a beautiful clam chowder. If you are a seafood fan, this place is a MUST visit. Great hospitality 👏👏

I like this restaurant very much. theres a friendly spirit. The cuisine is exeptionaly good. the service is dynamic and the waiters are well trained. The pay is decent. I highly recommend.

Not much of a menu, nice servers

An amazing dining experience with super-friendly staff. I can't wait for the border to re-open and go back for some of the best oysters in North America.

Lots of choices for oysters! The restaurant provides both raw(shucked or unshucked) and cooked oyster/other seafood dishes. Very nice place for a seafood-themed dinner !

Great service, fresh oysters both inside and outdoor sittings are nice.

Amazing service! Great food! Can't wait to go back.

Such delicious food! There are so many different kinds of oysters to try all tasting delicious and ranging in size! Tons of open space on the patio during COVID, the patio has been extended to include more space! The lighting in the evening is great! Very nice atmosphere and music both outside and inside! If you get the lobster they can bring the lobster up to you, to see it before they cook it. Highly recommended!!

This place never disappoints! Been here a few times, went yesterday and it's exactly how we imagined the food to be...phenomenal! The usual stuff my friends and I order are: Oysters (from Massachusetts), English Clam Chowder, Calamari, and of course...their key lime pie. Highly recommend if you're craving oysters/seafood. Staff are also very knowledgeable on the daily menu, they are great for suggesting specific oysters that fit your taste buds! Price-wise, it is reasonable for what you pay for. Yes it is quite pricey, but tasty food comes at a price. Great place if you and your friends want some awesome food and are willing to pay for it. :)

If you like (love or crave) oysters - then you gotta visit this place. First and foremost, their oysters and seafood are as fresh as can be (with live crab and lobster tanks). They are also following strict (and reasonable) Covid-19 policies, like recording your contact information for tracing purposes and using QR code to pull up menus on your smart phone. Service was also great - and overall, this place hit the spot 👌🏽

A little pricey but nice. Oh and lobster roll 👌

This place is great! Fair prices, large dishes and the staff members are regularly super friendly.

Always amazing and fresh

Delicious oysters, great service and great patio set-up!

Where else do you go for oysters in downtown Toronto!!

That's a place is always my favorite place for oysters in town. And I am so glad they survive through this pandemic. And their food is as good as always!

If you like seafood, this is the place to go. Highly recommend reading the menu before. Lots and lots of options. Preferably get the NB over PEI oysters. But get what they recommend. Changes all the time. Will be going back for sure. Portions are good for what you pay.

On my second visit here, I had an even better experience. I did not have a reservation but they still had bar option for a respectable wait time. And boy, was it a great idea to sit by the bar where oysters were being freshly shucked, it was an experience to see all the action right there. The oyster shuckers were so friendly and sweet, loved talking to them! Now the food, as usual amazing seafood. Oysters are the freshest and best let the experts mix the plate for you. Had Hot smoked Salmon, Shrimps & Grit, and crab cakes, all of them outstanding flavor. Their radish cream sauce was so good, i asked them 3 times and they told me you are coming back for the sauce haha! Love the vibe, the music. My only wish they had more cocktail option, only beer, wines & spicy Cesar available. But this is my top favorite seafood restaurant to go to in Toronto, kudos to the Rodney team! Share review

Hands down one of the best seafood places. The chef was so accommodating with our order. Definitely a place to Check out. Staff is very friendly as well.

The oysters are fresh and a wide range to choose from, fresh lobster available as well. We ordered the scallops entre, fish n chips, new England clam chowder, house salad and mostly east coast oysters

Oysters are very fresh, they expanded patio, very nice.I have nothing special to say, anyway it is the oyster restaurant that is worth visiting. After meal recommend lime pei.

Amazing food. The oyster selection post covid isn't as good as before but still excellent. Super friendly. A bit of a reduced menu as compared to before but still some of the best oysters in Toronto. Highly suggest the octopus! Best octopus I've had!!

Delicious. Freshest oysters with great explanation and tentative service. They surprised us with dual servings of bday pie slices!!! Thanks so much Julius! Took a table in the back to soak in some patio rays but it got colder quick - suggest for the heat lamps to be out and ready. Onion rings were to die for but cautious that they'll get you full because of the tasty batter. Lobster rolls were buttery fresh and big chunks of lobster. Cannot complain with this establishment.

The. Best. Oysters. Ever! The quality, size and taste of their oysters is outstanding! The list to choose from is quite long. Other food is pretty good too. Very friendly staff. I came back here 3 times already, and surely will be back again.

A place I used to visit quite regularly in my younger business years, Rodney's Oyster House is still a fixture in TO. My son and I took in the Leafs game last night and I brought him to eat his first plate of oysters! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great too, as we ate right at the oyster bar. Awesome food including the amazing clam chowder! Thanks for a great night!

This was our first time at Rodney's and certainly will not be our last. The oysters were fresh, loved the shrimp & grits and the Sea Fry was delicious. Staff was friendly & helpful and the ambiance was quite nice. No cocktail 's here but have a decent variety on the drinks menu. Would have loved a few Martinis though. Would definitely recommend this place for fresh quality seafood.

This is my go to place for oysters in the city. I went there to celebrate my birthday on my own so I sat at the bar. I loved everything about it. Look at these beautiful oysters. The staff was so amazing and easy to talk to. I can’t wait to come back for more.

We have been craving oysters for quite a while, so we decided to stop by spontaneously for a bite. The wait for a table was only around half an hour, which we were pleasantly surprised by. The staff were very friendly, responsive, and attentive. In terms of food, their oysters and clam chowders were delicious as always. The grilled scallops and sea urchin on the seafood plate were really good, but we felt the fried mussels did not match the quality of the rest of the dish.

Amazing restaurant on king street. The server was absolutely fantastic and super knowledgeable about the whole menu. This place is definitely for an acquired taste. All their seafood was fresh and made very very well! If it’s your first time trying oysters, this is most certainly the place to do it!

Some of the best, sweetest and juiciest oysters and scallop ceviche I’ve ever lasted! Totally worth the price! And the Sea fry has so much flavour! It’s such a cute interior and the staff is wonderful.

My girlfriend had a craving for oysters so I made the reservation for this spot as it's the only place in downtown Toronto that I knew that is known for oysters imported from the west and east coasts, as well as an array of options to choose from. I've only been to Rodney's once in Vancouver many years ago and I had a great experience. I'm happy the quality and friendly service is still consistent till today. For oysters, we chose 4 different types - half salty and half creamy. I favoured creamy moreover salty. The server was great at helping us choose 4 different kinds we had to try. On top of oysters, we ordered a side of skinny fries, mussels and scallops. Everything was great except for the mussels which we found the flavours too salty and strong for our liking. This was more than enough food for 2 persons, but 3 would've been the perfect portions.

First time visiting an oyster house, and this place is a vibe of its own! Everything is themed and warm. Our server was super helpful and informative (you need that assistance if you're trying or choosing between various types of oysters). The Japanese oysters are uniquely tasteful and small. Another favorite was the cold water ones (forgetting the name). You have to have the Peruvian scallops ceviche as a starter!! The key lime dessert was a fab ending to a great night!

Very nice seafood restaurant on King Street West. The ambience was warm but a bit dim. The garden was nice. The oyster choice was amazing and we were informed they are always fresh. The specials of the day was also interesting. Our server Anton was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took time to explain the menu in detail and made recommendations. If you are fond of seafood, definitely recommend this place. The only suggestion to the restaurant is to make some change to the complimentary bread and butter served at the beginning. The butter is very cold and the bread does not taste too good.

Five Star Sea Food Restaurant in Toronto. Definitely a must visit place if you love Seafood, especially if you like Lobsters and Oyster. The taste is out of the world, premium service. The price is on the higher side but worth the money for the quality and taste of the food.

Amazing food and great service! I don't usually like raw oysters but I liked eating theirs specially with the variety of sauces they offer. (One of the bottles in the condiment tray is a tequila palette cleanser 🤪). Their fried seafood platter was so fresh that I could taste the sweetness of the seafood under the fried goodness. Worth going back to!

Had a great experience here for my boyfriend and his friend’s birthday! It was very easy to communicate with the manager Julius and the wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! We had 3 different oyster varieties with many different toppings! Our mains were also delectable: the favourites were the lobster rolls and the crab cakes. Birthday cakes were also brought out to celebrate my boyfriend and his friend. Although this was a pricey meal, it is worth the splurge for a night of celebration.

Fantastic Oysters with great sauces selection. I like the sweetness of the west coast ones better but all are delicious. Tuna tartar and steamed musales are also really good. The chocolate mousse is a let down, super sweet and nothing special. Overall a good seafood place. Will recommend.

Where do I begin? If you are a seafood lover this place is heaven! The service is great and you will be given a detailed description of the items on the menu. A bit on the pricey side but it was worth very penny. they don’t have specialty drinks but big on wine selection. We sat on the patio and it was so nice and left alone away from the streets crowd. It was a bit difficult to find the enterance. We got there around 4ish and by 5 pm there was no table left empty. This place deserves BEYOND 5 star. The lobster was perfectly done and not overcooked. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

This restaurant is fab! We had an amazing server, Kayla, who helped us with what to order and made some excellent recommendations. We wanted to try everything so she recommended this sharing board which had everything and was the perfect amount. It was my mum and dads 25th wedding anniversary so they even brought out desert and some whiskies on the house!! Would defo be back and in such a good location too

This place was amazing!!! We planned to sit on the patio in the gorgeous heat and sun but when we arrived at 2pm and entered the restaurant we were immediately taken by the amazing music, lighting, decor and atmosphere and asked to be seated inside. I was shazaming every song while there. Felt like I was in Jamaica on the beach! Our server was amazing. I'm new to oysters and had no clue what to order so they suggested a variety to taste and explore. Once we tried it all we discussed the differences and our server explained a bit more in detail so we felt educated on the topic. I'll admit, I left the restaurant in love with oysters knowing what I like and went to a seafood place to purchased more! The food was very fresh. Everything tasted amazing. We had scallops, oysters, lobster and marinated muscles. It was a perfect share for 2! What a great time! Thank you to our servers! We'll be back!

I was super excited booking this place for my wifey's birthday dinner🥳 🎉 I've been here as a tourist in 2016, and now in 2023, as a resident 🇨🇦. And I had the same emotions from back then 🔥👏🤌All is top level in this place - food, service, atmosphere 🤌👏 Oysters were fresh & varied, from East and West coasts of 🇨🇦 and 🇱🇷. Enjoyed 🦪👌 Lobster 🦞 for my wife - amazing experience 🤤😍 pre- cracked , lots of meat ;) Crab 🦀 for myself - ended up with mixed feelings - was I full 🫄or exhausted 😰cracking the shells 🐚. Recommended, but just for experience 😉 Went with local wine 🍷, which was so so, to he honest...but Canada is not the wine country 😉 Desserts 🎂 were good, taking into consideration it's not a dessert place 😜 lemon pie 🥧 🍋 - made with love, moderately sweet 🧁 and sour 🤌 Go-option Atmosphere - hustle & bustle on Thursday evening 🌆 full of people, seating and standing. It speaks for itself 💯 Service: welcoming, nice and easy, despite of the crowd ☺️ Come and you will not regret 🙏 make sure you ' ve booked in advance 😉

This is one of a small list of places that I would recommend. We had a meal that was simply excellent. Excellent oysters. Excellent tuna tartar. Excellent octopus tacos. Excellent marinated muscles. Excellent pickerel club sandwich.
