★ 4.3 / 5 (1965 reviews)

John Sons Oyster House Downtown is a hidden gem away from the busy financial core, giving off a feeling of indulging in something delightfully sinful. As you step inside our cozy 40-seat restaurant, it's like discovering the most exclusive speakeasy in town where you can revel in breaking the rules. While you may initially plan to enjoy a few oysters and a cocktail, the inviting atmosphere will tempt you to linger longer. Our menu changes with the seasons, fishing quotas, and weather, offering a variety of freshly shucked oysters from our own beds in P.E.I. and top growers across Canada, the USA, and beyond.

This downtown oyster house offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes in a cozy and upscale setting. While the food received positive reviews, the service was consistently criticized for being slow and sometimes rude. The oyster selection was praised, but other seafood options were said to be limited. Overall, the restaurant is recommended for oyster lovers who appreciate a laid-back atmosphere and great cocktails.
