Fanny Bay Oyster Bar & Shellfish Market

Seriously unimpressed. This place is ridiculously overpriced. Their gumbo was FLAVOURLESS. Not just lacking spiciness. Literally lacking flavour. It was sooooo bland!!! I was really disappointed. Service was incredibly slow. It was a super busy Friday night, and they had a skeleton staff. I originally wasn't going to review this place at all, but Google prompted me to provide one.

Freaking delicious as hell!!!! Great oysters!!!!

Knocked down two stars for service. Front host guy and waitress said we couldn't have the normal seating (had us sit on bar stools), because they are for older folks and their policy (policy for older people seating!?!!). Guess what, everyone sitting there after was kids and regular young/middle age folks. We have asked for the regular seating as we were there for happy hour with our baby, guess they don't give a damn about babies, but 4 year olds and everyone else, no problem.

Great atmosphere and oysters were yummy! I appreciated the service. They were very attentive. We got truffle fries which were your typical fries of the truffle variety. Tasted like truffle fries. Had a great time and will definitely be coming back!

Quality oysters and condiments to go along with the lobster poutine was a bit small and disappointing.

Happy hour oysters really worth it. The wine list looks good too

Service was great. Friendly and made us feel welcome. Food was absolutely consistent and fresh. Clam chowder one of the best I've ever had. Definitely returning on my next visit to Vancouver.

I always like to come here for raw oysters. There are more choices on the menu. Good eating place for seafood. Happy hour is very popular.

As good as it gets in terms of raw Oysters. Truly the best. Variety and knowledge since they raise the oysters. The Olympia's are not to be missed.

While the food and oysters specifically are always great the service needs some serious improvements. The server was very short and didn’t seems to care, like he was in a rush to get out of there. The way he slammed the dishes on the table took away any grace or elegance from the culinary items we were trying to enjoy. The octopus dish, which we unfortunately didn’t find tasty due to being served cold, he took away practically untouched and didn’t bother to inquire why, as one would expect in a Michelin recommended restaurant. I don’t mind paying for the dish I ordered but the lack of care in this beloved joint was very disappointing. After I notified the server we were all done with our food he just slammed the bill on the table. I told him we would like to share the dessert and it was dropped off by the food runner before dirty plates/cutlery was cleared. No clean cutlery, no sharing plates. No server for the bill either. He disappeared so I had to flag down another girl who brought the bill and helped to settle. Food was great but service absolutely terrible.
