“We had been sleeping on the gem until today. So happy to have stopped in for lunch. We ordered the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich, Tuna burger and Truffle Fries. Absolutely delicious, everything was perfect. The breaded Shrimp i had in the sandwich were so crispy and so fresh tasting, one of my all time favorite sandwiches. Looking forward to coming back another day for dinner and some oysters.”
“This was the best experience I had while visiting NF Canada. The oysters were the best I have had in years! The service was fantastic. Tristan and I think Carla? were personable,professional, friendly and fun! I apologize if I got the waitresses name incorrect, I should have written the review sooner. I had oysters, a special of crispy fried scallop Po'Boy with a brussel sprout salad and a virgin bloody Mary. Everything and I mean everything was top notch. This place deserves 10 stars. Creative chef who also cares about presentation. I will be back!!!!”
“We ordered at Tide and Vine Oyster House: · Oyster Platter · PO'Boy Fried Oyster Sandwich · Lobster Roll Food Review: Oyster Platter: A selection of four different types of oysters, two of each. Tasting them in order from the mildest to the richest, paired with the restaurant's house-made sauces, every bite tasted incredibly fresh, as if capturing the very essence of the sea—layered flavors that linger beautifully. PO'Boy Fried Oyster Sandwich: Each plump fried oyster boasts a thin, crispy coating while remaining tender and juicy inside. Layered with thinly sliced fresh tomatoes and delicately pickled red onion slivers, all brought together with a secret sauce—rich without being greasy. With every bite, the freshness of the sea, the crunch of vegetables, and the smoothness of the sauce blend perfectly, creating a balanced, satisfying, and wonderfully textured experience. Lobster Roll: An absolute standout! The freshly toasted roll is slightly crisp on the outside and soft inside, generously filled with incredibly fresh, bouncy lobster claw meat—every bite is pure indulgence. Unlike those sad, mushy versions elsewhere that lack any texture, this one is genuinely worth every penny. The sauce follows the restaurant's signature philosophy of perfect balance, enhancing the natural sweetness of the lobster and leaving you craving more. Service Experience: The service was exceptionally professional. Our server warmly introduced the restaurant's character, carefully explained the day's menu, and offered thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences—particularly insightful was the guidance on pairing the house-made sauces with different oysters. Throughout the meal, they checked in at perfect intervals (about every 15 minutes) to ask how we were enjoying everything and whether we needed anything else. The timing was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—making the entire experience wonderfully comfortable. Overall: An outstanding dining experience at Tide and Vine Oyster House from start to finish. The food and service left a strong impression, and I highly recommend giving this place a try.”
“Tide and Vine Oyster House was honestly such an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was incredible!! We tried the East Coast oysters, mussels, octopus carpaccio, and a burger, and every single dish was executed perfectly. The oysters were fresh, clean, and full of flavour, the mussels were rich and delicious, and the octopus carpaccio was beautifully prepared and something truly special. Even the burger stood out; juicy, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Tristan, who truly elevated the experience. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the entire meal. His recommendations and warm energy added such a great personal touch and made the experience even more memorable.”
“A wonderful place to grab some delicious seafood. Fast, friendly, and excellent service. My wife had the lobster mac-n-cheese and I had the lobster roll. Muscles for an appetizer and the clam sauce fries. Everything was excellent. My wife said her lobster mac-n-cheese was the best she's ever had. Highly recommend visiting here if you have the opportunity. We will definitely come back if we are in the area again.”
