What Charles L likes about Carr's Oysters:
Stopped for lunch on a drive from Charlottetown around this part of PEI. Fantastic decision! Seated in front of the oysters and watched Jason’s (see phots) superb shucking, and enjoyed his stories and friendly, interesting conversation. The oysters? Ordered two dozen, three kinds, as recommended by Jason. Then ordered another dozen! Truly, the best and freshest oysters ever! Spoiled forever. Jason is a champion oyste... View all feedback. What Joanne H doesn't like about Carr's Oysters:
I was very surprised at the size of the mussels since this is PEI after all. Most were quite small. The wine and garlic broth was pretty boring and I had to order a biscuit to sop some of it up as they don’t offer bread. Seriously, what restaurant doesn’t give you bread. The breaded fish was fine but was ‘one’ very thin slice for the $20 bucks you paid for it. Pretty pricey dinner considering what we had. View all feedback.
