Merchant's Oyster - Vancouver

Went here on a first date for brunch and buck-a-shuck oyster specials. Good service, food and neighbourhood charm. Sister restaurant to Cork Fin in Gastown.

Wine is pricey for The Drive The food was OK small portions. The oysters where ok but all 12 had bits of shell in them, i have shucked my own oysters and made a better job of it.

What can I say I love love love Merchant's. The service is always fantastic, the food is fresh, local delicious, and they always have some great bottles (or cans) of craft beer on hand, not to mention awesome cocktails. It's my favourite brunch spot (2 words. Lobster+Benny) and the perfect dinner place as well. Just pure <3.

Amazing service, exceptional food. Can't wait to go back.

The food was fabulous, carefully prepared and beautifully presented. The oysters were, of course, the main show, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to be presenting us with our fare. The serving staff was friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The owner came to our table several times, always with a beaming smile. They looked after our special birthday requests, and lead the whole room in a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. As we were preparing to leave, the owner came to our table again, thanking us sincerely for 'bringing great energy ' to the room. All in all a terrific experience.
