Rodney's Oyster House - Vancouver

Love it here. It is a fun place to go with friends and the food is great. Love their oysters, they always have a fresh selection of oysters. I had their lobster a few times, they however did over cooked my lobster once but took it off my bill, so it wasn’t too bad. The scallop, the mussels are amazing. I would defend recommend this place for a chill night out and I would definitely go back!

Every now and then I go through an 'oyster phase ' where all I think about day in and day out are raw oysters. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, having oysters to start a meal is something I may never get sick of, well...I 've never done it but if only I could! And so being in the middle of one of my phases, I decided to visit Rodney 's Oyster House.

We went during happy hour and the quality of the oysters are pretty nice. Lots of beer choices and the crab cakes were delish. I like how I have 4 different condiments to go with my oysters too. Will come back!

Honestly the Yaletown spot always seems too busy and a bit stuffy. The second location is a bit smaller but has the same great food and staff. If you want a solid meal and love oysters this is a must visit. (The food is great at both restaurants)

I jumped off the plane and before I could even get downtown 3 people told me this was the spot to hit if I wanted oysters. Sold.You get in and its a cool spot, small but its got a nice feel to it. I sat, had a glance at the menu, grabbed a pint and ordered a half dozen oysters. I told the waiter I would happily let him choose which ones I should try and was not disappointed. You can tell they did their homework, what I should be tasting in each oyster and where they all came from. All in I ended up having 18 oysters. The oysters came from 9 different locations and all had remarkably different and unique flavor profiles. Especially when comparing east and west coast. This alone would have been enough to keep me happy, but each platter came with fresh grated horseradish and lemons, on the table they had 5 or 6 homemade sauces ranging from shallot vinegar to fiery inferno hot sauce and vodka pepper sauce. I've never really done oysters other than your standard hot sauce and lemon so this was quite a good experience for me. I was planning on trying some of the other menu items out (mussels and fries were on special) but I was enjoying the oysters too much to stop. I had a side of fries to soak up the 4 beers and 3 rounds of oysters to fill the tank. I regret nothing.The staff here are the bench mark of friendly awesome service. Bad service can ruin a meal and good service can often go unnoticed. This deserves some serious kudos. I was meeting some friends afterwards and the staff even helped me sort out some of my logistical issues. 20/10 guys and gals. Thank you for making me feel so welcome in your city.Overall these oysters are very high quality and I'm sure if the rest of the seafood is half as good it'll be great too. Local beers on tap, good wines and some great people. What's not to love?
