Walked in without a reservation and luckily grabbed a spot at the bar. The service was fast and friendly. We were just planning on a quick in-and-out oyster snack, but the oysters were so good we decided to stick around for dinner. Great vibe, fun night—definitely planning to visit again!

We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday at this restaurant with a reservation for 14 people, and it was truly amazing. The food was fantastic, with each dish being flavorful and well-presented. The quality was top-notch.

The service was excellent as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. The management clearly cares about their guests and made our night unforgettable.

This is my favorite restaurant in Toronto. Thank you to everyone who made the evening so special! Highly recommend! ❤️🌺🙏

We ordered the happy hour oysters, Tuesday Circus Seafood tower special and deep fried calamari. The crab was overcooked, dry and stuck to the shell. Oysters had lots of shells. Pickled mussels are an acquired taste. Cocktail shrimp were mediocre and seared tuna was standard.
The calamari was great. It came first and set our expectations high.
We had two servers, both tried their best but obviously did not communicate.
There is an 18% gratuity already added to your bill regardless of the size of your party. I don’t know if that’s standard practice here, but that’s only for large parties where we come from.

Will not be coming back.

We came here on a Thursday and they had the $100 for 100 oysters special. They cleverly brought out the oysters in 3 trays, waiting until we finished a tray to bring out the next one which was nice so the oysters stayed cold.

The service was great and we didn't feel rushed even with a line at the door.

Menu definitely could be expanded though as there aren't a ton of varied food options because the cold bar and some warm foods.
