This isn’t just the best Oyster bar / seafood restaurant outside of Toronto, it’s one of if not the best restaurants in Hamilton. Amazing Oyster selection and the mains are also unreal. The team there is super fun, friendly and knowledgeable. For having a smaller wine list, it’s perfectly curated. If you can, sit at the bar - the true Oyster bar experience. They’re shucking right in front if you!

One of Hamilton’s top top gems. Run do not walk. A+ on everything, including comfy and super friendly vibe, beautiful lil menu, a truly varied spread of oysters on any given night, and the curation to go along with it for whatever level of oyster fan you are. Many thanks for every visit you guys

Loved this oyster spot! Cool vibe, great interior, and the oysters were so fresh and tasty. Champagne was also good. Only thing— I wanted to put a jacket on because it was chilly inside. If you love oysters, this is the place to go! I'll definitely be back.

I'm reluctant to write a good review about Maisy's because it's terrific...but small...and I don't want all of the readers to make it tough to get a reservation. Ha!
What a great restaurant! The oysters are incredible (I had 12!) but the entire menu is superb. The staff are fun, attentive, and know their stuff. It's small and worth every dollar for the quality you get. Go there for a great dinner but don't go making the place too popular as we want to go back soon. I want to be able to get another reservation!

Every damn thing about this restaurant is perfect. It’s the product of pure passion for fresh ingredients & service.

We got the Tuesday oyster special (try the scotch bonnet sauce with them - you won’t be disappointed), the hot dip & the scallop/caramalized pork belly. You can tell Maisy’s genuinely cares about great ingredients. Every item was 10/10 and the service was even better.

Also, GET THE CAESAR. It comes with an oyster on it & it was legitimately the best one I’ve ever had.

Nothing short of spectacular food and service. Oysters are the freshest we have had in Ontario, very comparable to what we have had in coastal cities, the fried clams, lobster roll and crab cakes as well. David was a great host and made us feel at home. Drove from St Catharines to try it due to the great reviews and will definitely be coming here for years to come for special occasions.

Feels like you’re in New York restaurant eating the finest seafood in the City. Decor is top notch (must check out both washrooms) and the service by the owners was super personal. Feels like it would be easy to become a regular patron here.

Went there for our anniversary as my wife loves oysters. We were not disappointed! We tried each kind of oyster (8 different kinds!) and David took the time to explain the difference between each and where they come from. They’re each so different and delicious. No matter which you try, you’ll be very happy!
The atmosphere in there is so comfortable, you feel like you’re in an east coast friend’s place chatting and eating. Great food, great owners, cannot recommend highly enough. Cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

This place is everything you want it to be. Intimate, delicious and run by very passionate and friendly people. Both Sasha and David were amazing and we will definitely be back. Also, don't disregard this place if you don't love oysters we had several other items from the menu and everything was excellent.
