The 3 stars are for the servers.Thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the food.Apparently it's end of spawning season so the mussels are supposed to be small but the restaurant "didn't realize they were this small."The whole dish smelled hella funky too. Two big thumbs down... ??

Oyster not very fresh

Service - Right off the bat, their operations are top notch. Service at the table was excellent. We came during the happy hour and there was a line. We put our name on the queue, gave them our number, and received a text when our table was ready and held for 15 mins. Perfect as we roamed around the neighborhood.Food - the oysters tasted great, but they were small. The clam chowder is the manhattan style, not the New England version. It was okay but it’s not worth $20 dollars. The mussels were just okay. The fried oysters are awesome.Parking - it was the weekend. We easily found street parking a block away.Verdict - we weren’t impressed with the food and likely won’t be back.

Best seafood restaurant in Vancouver, a very fresh seafood tasty ceaser it comes with a fresh shucked oyster on top. I had the scallops and pork belly very good, and the chowder very flavorful, but my favorite has to be there raw oysters they have a nice variety, but my number one has to be the sunseekers clean crisp goes well with my ceaser drink I recommend going during happy hour so you can try more of the food for a little less then come back for the best later .

One of the top spots in downtown for live oysters and shellfish, or just seafood in general. I highly recommend their live seafood.The fish & chips that I had was solid, crispy batter, savory coleslaw but the fries were somewhat subpar. The cuts were uneven (which some people might like) and they were not crispy enough.Great service, and again, I highly highly recommend coming here for live seafood.

Friendly attentive staff when I walked in solo for happy hour after landing in YVR. Very fresh oysters shucked at the bar and nice to chat with other solo patrons while enjoy oysters and wine. Also tried the uni sashimi it’s so rich and creamy!

We came to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and it was quite special. The food was amazing, the drinks were on point, and the service even better. Special shoutout to Faria (our server, sorry if I misspelled it) for walking us through the options, and serving us with a smile and great energy even though she was about to end her shift. Will definitely be back soon!

I went to eat oysters at Happy Hour and ordered two kinds of oysters ($2 and $2.75). The oysters were light in taste and lacked the seawater taste and crispness, but they were fresh and cost-effective. The bartender sitting at the bar was very talkative. The two of them went to eat a dozen oysters each. Because the oysters are so thin, even if you eat a dozen each, they will not reach your throat or lungs. There are parking tables at the door and the parking turnover is fast. If you park for a short period of time (1-2 hours), do not park in the paid public parking lot opposite. The fee is extremely expensive at only $30 or $32 for a full day.Parking: There are about 6-8 paid roadside parking lots right outside the door, and the turnover is fast. There is a paid public parking lot opposite. If you park for a short period of time (1-2 hours), the fee is very expensive, which is $30 or $32 for a full day. .
