We’re a small and energetic restaurant on the corner of Adelaide and Water St. in the heart of downtown St. John’s. We carry a wide selection of East Coast Oysters and our menu focuses on seafood + fun, vibrant small plates. We have a rotating selection of local craft beer and wines and an ever evolving cocktail list. Some call us loud, but we prefer lively! TripAdvisor's 'Certificate of Excellence', "Where to Eat in Canada" x 4, and voted St. John's Top Seafood restaurant!

Our reservation policy has changed in order to support the best possible customer experience. We take 5pm reservations for seating's of 2-4 people, and two larger groups of 5+ Sunday through Saturday. We accept walk-ins and keep a wait list each night, so if we cannot accommodate your desired booking time after 5pm, you are welcome to come down and see us!

You can always contact us via email at adelaideoysterbookings@gmail.com or by telephone at 702-722-7222. Our door is open and you are always welcome!

    Yet another amazing meal at AOH. Still the most consistently amazing dining experience in St. John’s. Up there with F&C at The Duke or Tak’s sushi at Basho. And so many more. What a gift to have the chefs we have in St. John’s. Thank you all!!

    Food was excellent but beer choice was really bad.
    The Adelaide Oyster HouseResponded on 8 January 2025
    Hi Sheena! We're glad you enjoyed everything! As we're a small spart we're not always spoiled for choice with the mount of beers we can have on tap at any given time, but we try to keep it as varied as possible! We hope to see you again real soon! - taoh
