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.

    We went for the February Dine Around menu which was posted as 3 courses for $40. We were initially only given the regular menus until we told them we were here for Dine Around, then were handed the menus and were told it was actually 2 courses for $40, we could add the dessert for $8, but they didn't have the dessert that was advertised. The food was good but am very disappointed with the false advertising.

    Service was a little slow and food took a long time. Had to ask to have our food expedited to make our next engagement. They accommodated so it all worked out. My wife wasn't happy with the temperature of their steak so she never ate most of it and due to the length of time waiting we couldn't discuss.
    SHUCK Seafood + Raw BarResponded on February 3, 2025
    Hello Ed, Thank you so much for your feedback. So sorry about the wait time on your meal and the incorrect temperature on your steak. That is certainly not what we want to hear and not the standard we hold ourselves to. Please feel free to follow up with me regarding your experience at aaron@rcr.ca and we'll see if we can make the situation right for you. Thanks again.

    This was our first time there and we had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent and our server was very attentive to us through the entire meal. We all had tastes of each others food and all the items served were hot, fresh and tasty. Beginning to end, a fantastic time. Highly recommend.

    Very nice ambiance . Lighting outside was beautiful. Drinks were great but the main didn’t have the taste/ flavour I was expecting for the price. Especially the grab. It was a lot of work and the finish was disappointing The service was very good. Our waiter was fantastic. It was $300 plus tip and if we were wowed by the meal it would have been worth it.

    Went for happy hour and had a lovely time. The oysters were great, also ordered the calamari (which amazingly was gluten free!) Service was great, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

    Steak main could do with a little more in plate - sparse compared to other mains. Sashimi was awesome. Ousters were very small. Very. Couldn’t understand our waiter a lot of the time though he was very nice and attentive.
    SHUCK Seafood + Raw BarResponded on January 13, 2025
    Hello Lauren, Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your experience with us and will pass your notes on to our kitchen staff. Our oysters do range in size depending on the type. Let us know next time you're in that you would prefer larger oysters and we'll make sure to select the appropriate ones for you. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon!

    I hope that the variety of food (here offers : fish and seafood) in the restaurants with preferred areas will be of high quality. Unfortunately, we did not get the flavors what we eere expected and desired from the two types of seafood dishes we ordered.
