Wildly fun atmosphere and brilliant food. We sampled oysters and chowder. Layers of clean, fresh, simple ingredients (oysters, fresh grated radish, lemon, assorted sauces…) allowed a choose your own flavour adventure. Friendly but not intrusive service had us feeling welcome. Can’t wait to come again!

We visited for the Crab Boil for 2, and while the flavors were good, we were a bit disappointed that about half of the mussels didn't taste quite right. The staff kindly explained that seafood can lose some freshness after leaving the ocean, but it was still hard to see that as the norm when half the batch was affected—especially compared to our previous experiences at other local spots.

My husband & I came in for some oysters this evening & we were so happy with the quality of the food, the vibe & service. Everyone was so friendly & welcoming. It’s rare that a restaurant owner will introduce themselves, shake your hand & ask your name these days & I appreciated that as much as I appreciated the incredible food. The oysters were fresh as could be & served super cold with some gorgeous grated horseradish & lemon wedges. I was impressed by the variety they offered as well. I also have to give their virgin Caesar a shoutout. It’s very well spiced; even the salty rim on the glass had depth. The bonus? It came with a succulent prawn cooked perfectly for the context. As a person who doesn’t drink alcohol, I feel so seen! The pricing is reasonable & their happy hour pricing is excellent. If you love shellfish, don’t sleep on this rad joint. You don’t even have to dress up fancy to eat there; there’s no excuse! Thanks for a lovely evening! 🦪💜

We went with my family to experience this top rated restaurants but we were one of the unlucky customers to experience their bad service. We were “shuck” at what happened. At first, the server was accommodating and chatty with us. We are new to the place so she gave us time to choose our orders. After a while, we called her since we are ready to order. She took our order as well as gave her feed back as to what was the difference between the atlantic and pacific oysters. We were looking forward to have some oysters, we ended up ordering 9 of each of the oysters, a peel n eat prawns, and a pacifico beer. The prawns and beers were served quickly. The prawns were so-so you could have a better one at home if you bought a frozen prawns in superstore and cook it by yourself. And for the beer, it tasted like you mixed water into the beer. As we were waiting, some customers came and we noticed that they were being served by the servers first with the oysters. We followed up to the server and told her that we had been waiting for almost 40mins already for the oysters. She was apologizing and asked the food guy about it. She came to our table and told us that 2 more mins and the oysters will be ready. We waited another 5 mins and the oysters did come and we decided to leave. We told the server that we are leaving and she was again, apologizing, but her tone was not that sorry. Her couldn’t care less attitude was really rude and told us that the order slip was lost, and we told her that we were disappointed. That we were here to have a good experience since we are vacationing and then she told us everything will be on the house. The experience was “shuck”

Oyster to start - can’t go wrong. Excellent Mussel Clam Chorizo Steamer. Plump and flavourful mussels/clams and bread to dip in broth. Octopus ceviche tender, fresh so delicious! Raj you are the oyster guru.

Tasty a bit pricey for how it is. I don’t doubt the quality but the food was just ok. Oysters are a good price for happy hour.
Jess was a great server food was awesome! Thanks Shuck's

GF Lamb chowder was excellent! And I highly recommend the crab dip as well! 😋 If you are celiac or gluten free, you should bring your own crackers, as all they have that is GF are potato chips to go with them. (normally comes with crostini)

Finally got to splurge and try the lobster roll, and it is definitely worth the hype!! The seafood is so fresh, the staff is so friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is wonderful!
