Merchantman Fresh Seafood & Oyster Bar

Recommended by the hotel staff we stayed in. Good food and great price. Very friendly staff.

This is definitely one of the best restaurants we’ve tried! The oysters were absolutely on point — fresh, flavorful, and a great deal with their $20 special for 10 pieces after 8 PM. We also ordered the calamari, which was really tasty with a nice crisp and well-seasoned coating. If there’s one thing I could suggest, it would be to use slightly larger pieces of squid to make each bite a bit meatier and more satisfying. Overall, the quality of the food and the great value make this place a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We sat at the bar. Our server was very friendly. The food was excellent and great ambiance.

This was my second time coming here and food was delicious. I got the haddock fish tacos and coleslaw. Fish tacos were perfect, coleslaw was a little dry but not a huge deal. I also ordered the garlic- Parmesan fries and they charged me $9 instead of 7 and then told me that it’s + $7 to upgrade it as a side but $9 as a separate side which makes no sense so menu pricing is confusing. My main complaint is once we were seated we waited 45 minutes until our food arrived. Our waitress also was not checking in on us and forgot our drink order and came back 10 minutes later to ask again. I would still recommend since the food was so good but staff may need more training.

NEVER order from the kids menu we ordered the cheese burger and after waiting for 30mins. What comes out?a three centimetre burger I have no idea how it is called a cheese burger I mean It had cheese but you cant even taste it at this point its a sliver of meat with bread

Awesome experience here. Had the lobster/seafood boil!!!!! Worth every penny.

Amazing dining experience in downtown PEI. Will come back.

Ask for Clayton when you come in. Very friendly and engaging. Great service. Clayton is the man!!!!

My friend from Toronto came to visit the maritimes (NB) for the first time ever and of course PEI was a must. He wanted fresh delicious seafood and he got a true east coast experience. From the moment we arrived and parked the locals were to happy to chat it up with an out of towner who was all to happy to. Tell everyone he met how happy he is to be here. The welcoming vibe as soon as we entered with other patrons waiting for their reservations the friendly welcoming atmosphere in this establishment was a true maritimer vibe. We ordered ALOT of different things and the Parmesan fries were to die for, waiters was top notch and definitely would return

Excellent food!! Oyster happy hour was amazing!! Lobster roll was very tasty and slightly warmed. Service is lacking.

One of the best atmospheres in PEI food. The staff are exceptionally aware without being overbearing. Very impressive experience

Dined here mid-October Tuesday evening. Our excellent waiter Will started us off with drinks and 2 appetizers, Mussels and Fried Calamari. My Spouse ordered Spinach Salad for her entrée. I got the Lobster Roll. We split the Sticky Date pudding for dessert. All the food was excellent. Recommend eating here when in the Charlottetown downtown.

I should say 5 stars, I had the lobster dinner, it was good, but I am not use to having to shell it. The meal was very good, but the cole slaw I could do without, very dry

We stopped her for lunch and had a few oysters, a lobster roll, and some seafood chowder. The chowder was one of the best I have ever had. The lobster roll was good, but it needed a little something to really bring out the flavour of the lobster. The mayo was a little too much. The oysters were delicious, and I would recommend it simply to have the chowder.
