Great for happy hour
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

It’s obvious we’re all about oysters (they’re chilling on ice as soon as you walk in), but one look at our menu and you’ll see that Shuck is so much more.

Our raw bar features the freshest fish and shellfish with inventive flavors designed to complement, never cover up. Our snacks, sides, and starters are perfect for sharing, and our mains elevate favourite classics from down home to down right delicious.

Warm wood paneling and eclectic glasswork create an atmosphere that captures the spirit of Maritime living. There’s no red carpet here, but we have laid out the best in paper over our tablecloths so you can get to slurping, sharing, and savoring. Join us for lunch in a jiffy, or hang around for a while over dinner for an experience that’s modern, authentic, and unabashedly East Coast.

Food was excellent , as was the service by our waiter, Grace. How ever, we were celebrating a special anniversary (52years), and although both host and waitress were aware of this, but other than wishes of happiness no special treat was offered. This is my first restaurant visit I didn’t enlven get a cupcake in honour of the occasion.

The food is ok. The value isn't. Nothing special. The oysters, if on sale, are comparable to others not on sale. The oysters are good. The rest is ok.

We had a fantastic server. Unfortunately the raw bar was down a person so service was slow for our oysters. Had the east coast boil. Was pretty good. Restaurant was really loud.

The food was not great. We had the fish and chips and the fish was bland, the panko crust was bland and the fish tastes like it make have been frozen or re-frozen. Not a great experience. We mentioned the quality of the food to our server and nothing was done about it. We will not be back.
