A wonderful place for fresh, delish, reasonable oysters and delish fish & chip. Went here for lunch upon entered to Vancouver. Been here long time ago but still have the great vibe of it therefore got to go back for another great vibe, especially on Easter Day and your birthday. The place was packed both inside and out (small place but a very cool place) but counter had several opened seats, sat there and hoping some table outside will be open soon since it's abit loud plus sat right nearby the speaker so was blasting cool oldies music. Great but small of excellent choices menu, got a bottle of white wine, a dozen oyster, fish & chip, claims, and chowder. Just say that we finished it all. Yup it's that good. Service can be slow but once he got the rhythm going, it smooth sailing from there. Can't wait to go back again.

Great service and delicious oysters! They were super fresh, creamy, and no sour/fishy taste to it. We also ordered the beef tartare, crab legs, pasta, etc. All choices were great! Prices were a little steep considering the portion sizes, but overall a great place for food and drinks. Our server was great, she was funny and had great recommendations.

Stopped by for oysters. Saw they revamped their menu but for happy hour, we just stuck with the $2 oysters. They were from the west coast and were very tasty and juicy.

Lobster mac n cheese

Service & food were good. We loved the garlic prawn appy the best Oysters were good. Lobster mac&cheese was delicious but very small.

Shrimp poboy

Stopped in for their daytime happy hour. The mussels are good but the portions are on the smaller side. The oysters on the other hand where huge, but a bit more on the milky side. The fries are super solid (hard to go wrong here) and the shrimp Poboy was the surprise stand out. I would skip the shellfish and just get more poboys. Service was fine, nothibh more nothing less. And the vibe is a little confusing.

Been many times, love the early happy hour menu there's a lot to choose from. Get the caviar add on for your oysters and po boys , worth it Everyone working there is super friendly and chill, I've brought my dad, my husband and our 5 year old, all great experiences each time! Oysters are shucked properly , never any little shell pieces for me, they are super quick with their shucking too! I'd like to try one of their boils one of these nights

The server tended to us immediately and was very helpful in giving recommendations. He also ensured to do last call for happy hour which is quite rare as I find most places would prefer for you to miss the happy hour specials. However, when it comes to the food it is "bar quality" which I define as it's better to be there for the drinks rather than the food. The nice part about this place are the extremely fresh oysters of course and that they are only $2 for the daily oyster during happy hour. The shrimp po boys could use cajun flavouring as they are quite basic. Whereas the cajun broth mussels are not what I would define as cajun as they added oregano to it...enough said. It is a small space with not a ton of seating and the music if pub volume but the service and the oysters are fantastic.

Over a dozen fresh oysters. Yum!
Betty V.

It was my first time coming here. My brother recommended this place for fresh oysters. They have a fantastic happy hour, with oysters or about $2 a pop. My brother and I each ordered a dozen, and chowed down. We also ordered some white wine and garlic white wine clams. The wine was good and the clams were very tasty. He came with a piece of toasted bread, which we took to dunk in the broth. Yum! The next time I'm back in town, I will definitely be heading here for another dozen of fresh oysters. There are two really cool, young guys who run the joint. They are also servers, which is very impressive because this place can get pretty busy and quickly. Overall, I'm impressed with the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I want to come back to try some other items on the menu.

Recently revisited Harbour and enjoyed it as much as my first time there! We came during happy hour as well and there was a good selection. Amongst the hair hour menu we ordered the crisp fried oyster, steamed mussels on white wine sauce, and shrimp po boys. And we added a lobster roll as well. The fried oyster was one of my favourite. The poster was much larger than I expected and fried nicely. For the mussels it was cooked really well but I would choose a different sauce next time as it was slightly too lemony in the flavour. We got to dine in the patio which was really nice to enjoy the last bit of summer and the servers were just as attentative inside and outside the patio.

Amazing place on the drive!!! They have multiple seafood choices to choose from, Even mussels, crab, or lobster boil for 2-4 people. We tried the lobster linguini and the blackened fish tacos and half doz oysters. Lobster pasta was a hit. Pasta was fresh and had a hint of lobster oil. Although i wish they put more lobster chunks. But the cream Lobster sauce was so good. It can easily rival a fine dining restaurant. The fish tacos were awesome as well. Made and tasted fresh. Good size fish portions and the salsa mix was perfect. Too bad it didnt come With fries, so i ordered a half order of the fresh garlic fries. So yummy and crunchy. Twice fried and so good. The oysters were amazing as well. They do have limited options,Depending on whats available. Usually 2-3 Varieties only. Beer is cold but mojito was a bit weak and watery and had too much ice. Prices too are a bit higher than most places. 2 people after happy hr can easily cost $100. But service was outstanding. Servers always in a jolly mood ready to answer any questions and provide informative solutions on what to order. Ambiance very lively and upbeat. Feels like you are eating in a fishing village. I would repeat for sure. Cheers! Happy eating!

PEI oyster

Loved this place. Just found it while scrolling yelp. The most important thing after the food, which I'll get to, was the staff. Our service was top notch, friendly and helpful. Loved it. We had PEI oysters and west coast oysters to share. Both were delicious and distinctive. I had halibut and fries, and it was week bettered. The fish was flaky and was excellent. The bar is a little snug but totally comfortable with nostalgic decor. I'd highly recommend.

It was full of flavor and wagyu was tender. Great item. Tonnato was also good. Very solid item. I did not have stacciatella. Tapenade was sour side, with strong olive and roasted pepper flavors stand out. Vongole(savory clams, fermented Taragu mares chilli white wine and parsley, squid ink linguine) Highlight! Clam and Vongole sauce were very delicious! Squid ink linguine was also good. It was good to have sauce with bread. Bistecca(Babette steak, Amaro jus, garlic scapes, frisee and hazelnuts) This item was also very delicious. Medium rare steak was tender(a bit chewy) the garlic scapes, hazelnut and frisée combination was excellent. i really enjoyed having together with meat. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. I would like to visit late night next time.

That said, considering the food is mostly pre-prepared and it wasn't busy, the wait was surprisingly long. We also shared two other dishes, which were good, but the service was extremely slow--so much so that we eventually gave up on trying to have a full meal there and left still hungry. We ended up going to another restaurant nearby. I'd come back for a glass of wine and the baguette bites, but not for a full dinner. It's just too slow. Given the simplicity of the dishes, the timing didn't quite make sense--especially since the bar service was fine and the server was very friendly. I even saw the cook coming out to chat with tables several times, which was a bit confusing considering how slowly the food was coming out.

It had gruyere cheese, honey and Dijon mustard. It was super addicting. The chorizo was oily and savoury. Might come in just to share this The steak tartare ($17) was not bad. Bread was nice and crunchy. Would have been nice if it had a bit more seasoning on it Gambas ($18) the prawns were huge and perfectly cooked. Had a good snap to it. Wish it had a bit more garlic flavour Espresso martini was okay. Nothing memorable. Wouldn't order it again. Service was great. Super friendly and nice. They came to check on us multiple times. Food came out fast. Overall would come back for some quick snacks and try more of their cocktails

Man, for a Sunday night this place was packed, a reservation here is a must!…read more They have some really delicious and unique tasting cocktails. I like how the menu organizes them from light to strong. Items are on the pricier end but tapas are meant for sharing so it's probably best go with a group and try out a few items. I liked their croquettes the most but the sliders were actually delicious too and surpassed my expectations! I think their shrimp toast is pretty famous as well but I found it a bit dry.

Awesome new cocktail/snack bar. Great food, great cocktails, great vibes…read more The cocktails we tried: - Suika - my favorite, with some savoury notes - papurika - tart and has a kick, reminiscent of a spicy marg - Sage - Mugicha The food we tried: - scallop crudo - deliciously seasoned - wagyu tartare - tasty and well seasoned - prawn toast - really good and caught me by surprise. The bread was softer and fluffier than I expected and the prawn seemed to be mixed into the batter - hen of the woods - great mushroom dish with a good amount of substance and a rich sauce with guanciale flavours coming through Service was attentive and friendly. My only minor critique is that it felt a little rushed, as they brought up a few times that we had the table for 90 minutes total. I wonder if it will get a bit more relaxed over time, as this would be a great place to linger over a few more rounds of drinks. Overall great new spot which I am looking forward to returning to!

We had the best time at Odd Society, and I am still smiling two days later. Initially perplexed,…read moresince our Uber dropped us off one block away, we had no idea where we were in the dark of the Canadian night. Surrounded by warehouses, did the driver want us to experience a "call of the wild?" However, Odd Society beckoned one block from the corner, and two seats were available at the strange bar. Strange because our view was blocked by a kind of ersatz plastic and wood wagon wheel blocking our view of the servers and bar. It was reminiscent of Utah's Zion Curtain. Later, I was told it was part of Odd Society's Covid protection and helped the bartenders stack things up. Okay, fine, but tear the damn things down. They're obnoxious. Odd Society creates an array of liquors made from ingredients sourced locally by law. It's required by their license. I tried almost all of them, and most were fantastic. Abby and Colin, our servers, were charming, fun, and educational, answering my questions, which became increasingly inane as the alcohol took effect. The distillery also mixes fantastic cocktails, and mine, named Midori, was friggen unbelievable. I had two of them along with my liquor tasting. My Midori was made with a special concoction called Portuguese Sweet Milk, or something like that. It was amazing. I want one for breakfast. The fun kept coming, and I didn't want to leave. Alas, we had reservations at Lunch Lady up the street. We should have stayed at Odd Society. Lunch Lady was a disappointment. Try Odd Society out as both a distillery and cocktail bar. You won't be disappointed about either one.

I have a friend who loves to drink so when he was back in town, I bookmarked this place to bring…read morehim to as I saw many great reviews and pictures. In summary, the place was ok, but noticed after the fact that we were overcharged for the drinks. It's a small space - about 3 high tables, one lower one, each seating 4 to maybe at most 5 people, plus a bar. I reserved a table for the 2 of us at 3:30 pm on a Sunday (earliest reservation they had as they open at 3 pm) and we were seated at 3 pm. They checked our vaccine passports and then seated us. Not long after we were seated, the remaining tables were all taken just after opening for 30 minutes so I would recommend reserving if you prefer tables over bar seating. The waitress brought over a drinks menu and food menu. The menu showed cocktails at $13. We chose our drinks and ordered, then the waitress came by with a second menu that she said was for Sunday only. She apologized and said she normally doesn't work Sunday's so she didn't know this promotional menu was available. This menu had some cocktails on promotion that I would have not minded to try, but I had already received my cocktail. Oh well. I had the Violet and Claire, which looked great and tasted pretty good for the first half. However by the second half of the drink, it started to taste too sweet. It was not bad for a cocktail, overall. My friend said the Smoke Between the Sheets cocktail was alright as well. We got our bills quickly as we had a second place to visit afterwards. After paying, I snapped a picture of the bill at the time but did not notice until I got home that to my surprise, each cocktail was listed on the bill at $14.95. I recalled their physical menu saying $13, and verified this with their menu online. Unfortunately, I did not notice the discrepancy until I was home, otherwise I would have mentioned something. Note that our visit was at the end of November 2021, and at the time I'm writing this review (December 26, 2021), their online menu still has cocktail prices at $13. So, I am not sure if this was a one time mistake when we paid, or if they have just forgotten to update their menu? Either way, this was disappointing. Because of the entire experience I probably won't visit again, especially with all the other options Vancouver has for cocktails.
