Closed while under construction. Super disappointed as we went there based on all the reviews.

Seafood Boil Sundays menu was not worth it, the portion was so small. Also not recommended to add lobster tail as the meat was flaky and dry. not fresh. Pricey and poor quality.

The staff were pretty stretched when a large group of us arrived for happy hour, but we stuck around for a very happy couple of hours. Everything we had to eat and drink was delicious and the vibe on the patio was

I was literally kicked out of this establishment because I have a service dog. My service dog was not allowed and the outside area was not open. The owner is such ignorant person to not accept alert service dog. They told me that since my disability was not physical I was not allowed to stay, that is their policy. A medical alert dog is trained to prevent their handler from being extremely sick or have a fatal medical event. I will be so ashamed if I was the owner having such discrimination against a group of people trying to live their lives like everyone else. Just going out to eat. This owner should read about all service dogs and change is discriminatory policy. I went to another restaurant which respected my disability and my service dog.

Came here for the Sunday Seafood Boil, $50 feeds 2 people. Great amount of seafood for the price, it’s hard to find seafood boil around this area. This place has great vibes and fresh oysters shucked right in front of you! Seafood boil was alright, it came out lukewarm and the potatoes weren’t very seasoned, but their raw oysters are great :)

We fell in love with Smitty's in Gibson and were delighted when they opened a branch in Vancouver. Came a few times and were pretty happy but wasn't as good as the original shop. Today was actually disappointing tbh. The fries were cold, how the food was served was nice presentation but not the most practical. Crab was perhaps boiled too long? Maybe I was disappointed because my expectations are set so high for Smitty's. I hope they set their own bar high again.

This is a nice cozy place off Main st. Oysters were great raw and fried, also priced well, we went during happy hour, crab legs not as great, kinda bland no seasoning, but also not sweet. The lobster and shrimp roll was good and the jalapeño corn bread was excellent. Service was excellent, very attentive, but they couldn’t get the Jets game.This is definitely a place to check out!!

Fresh tasting oysters, we usually go for the smaller kusshi. We also had their chili lime prawn and halibut fritters (delicious).We found free parking around the block.

Game for a birthday party. Group of 7 and a toddler. Pretty pleasurable. Order enough stuff it comes out on long platters that presents well. Server was great. Some decent happy hour items. They were down 1 shucker but food came out promptly. Would come again.

Great, Fun atmosphere! Food was good as was the drink menu...lots very good selection of local craft beers! I wasn't aware that there was February Happy Hour promo but it made the evening very affordable!

Went for happy hour. They have the sauce game down, sauces for the oysters are chef's kiss as was the sauce for the halibut fritters. Trio of tostadas were so good. I was glad the shrimp came with bread to soak up that killer sauce. Next time I would love to try the paella. We watched the chef make it on the patio and you could see he makes it with his whole heart. It looked amazing.
Very fresh and delicious
