Rodney's Oyster House

“I don’t think I’ve ever left a restaurant feeling so genuinely impressed. I visited Rodney’s on my first full day in Canada and sat at the oyster bar for a couple of hours. As someone who absolutely loves oysters, this ended up being one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The staff were incredible. They took the time to explain the different varieties, where they came from, and the subtle differences between them. Watching the oysters being freshly shucked right in front of me while chatting with the team made the whole experience feel really personal. I started with the Low Tide happy hour menu and ended up staying to work my way through over six different oyster varieties, alongside a mini lobster roll and a few glasses of Prosecco. Everything was absolutely outstanding. As a solo traveller, sitting at the bar can sometimes feel intimidating, but the staff made me feel completely welcome from the moment I arrived. If you’re visiting Toronto and love seafood, Rodney’s is an absolute must. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a better meal. Thank you for making my first proper day in Canada so memorable.”

“Rodney’s continues to be one of my favourite spots for seafood. The quality of the oysters is consistently fresh, flavourful, and always worth the visit. I was a little disappointed to see that the lobster roll has gotten smaller over the years, but it was still tasty. Despite that, the overall experience is always great, with a lively atmosphere and reliable seafood. It’s a place I that I look forward to visiting at least once a year.”

“I’m always stunned when I come here. My brother and I have trips around and in Toronto and this is a MUST visit. We visited last year around this time and had to come back after a great visit. A year later, it still holds true as an excellent establishment. We came here during happy hour this time and had Charlotte as our server. She was WONDERFUL! Incredibly sweet and attentive, she had recommendations for oysters which was so nice (she also wrote down what our favorites were after we did a few dozen to find our top rated ones). As we did for both our visits: we got the big Crab which was so, so yummy. It was recommended to us by the server we had last time, and again it was great again this time. The fried clams, clam chowder and Rodney’s Caesar drink were all delicious. This is a great place for seafood and eats- would greatly recommend”

“Came to Rodney’s Oyster House in Toronto for happy hour and WOW… so worth it. We grabbed seats at the bar and got to hang out with Nick while he was shucking the oysters, which honestly made the whole experience even better. Super chill, friendly, and you can tell he knows what he’s doing. We did the happy hour oysters, crab rangoon, and the eggplant parmesan fritters and everything was crazy delicious. The oysters were fresh, clean, and perfectly shucked right in front of us. So happy we made it in for the happy hour. 10/10 would come back just for that combo again. Awesome awesome awesome”

“We had a great experience at Rodney’s Oyster House. Everything was on point — the food was fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. A special thank you to the servers for their friendly and attentive service, and to the kitchen team for such amazing dishes. What I personally loved the most was the oysters — especially the platter with different varieties from various provinces. It was a great way to try and compare unique flavors all in one place. The only downside was that it was very busy — the place was completely full, even though there are plenty of seats. But that just shows how popular and good this spot is. Overall, highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back!”
