It's a cute, unpretentious restaurant at the entrance to Granville Island, across from the kids area. We wanted oysters - my progeny loves them - and we were rewarded with fast service and delicious oysters. 1 dozen later, we were happy, had an excellent source of protein and nutrients, and were on our way. Just in time for the parking meter to expire. read more

I was here for a business event. The place looks like a seafood restaurant with obvious emphasis on nautical gear throughout the dining space. Since the host ordered everything I don't quite remember everything we got. What we had was generally good, but also I thought to myself that each item was quite small, and hard to share evenly among the 7 people there. I remember looking at the menu after and thought to myself that it was quite expensive for very small portions. A number of guests were disappointed the restaurant only served beer and wine, and couldn't mix drinks. Service was good enough - friendly and interactive but nothing outstanding. I didn't pay for this meal, so it was fine. But I don't think I would be rushing back because it's quite expensive for small portions. read more

i had not been to rodneys for a couple of years so thought to visit again. Seafood quality is still very high but the menu items are not surprising compared to other seafood places. Seems like the menu items are steady with minor changes We tried both the east coast and fanny bay oysters. they are very fresh and tasty. We also tried their happy hour halibut tacos and garlic prawns skillet. we love the halibut tacos. they were freshly fried and the selection of vegetables give a good contrast in textures. The sauce on the prawns skillet was a good addition to the prawns without overwhelming the freshness of the prawns themselves However the portion sizes are relatively small while the prices are a bit to the high end. Rodneys has been at this location for a long time which is the reason for its slightly run down decor. Service was alright and its service has a pub bistro vibe. read more

Great vibe, selection, and service. Enjoyed coming here for a variety of oysters, which were all fresh and delicious. Sadly I didn't feel like the prices reflected a great value, after being at Granville island and seeing a dozen oysters for 1/4 of the price. Also, while they have a lot of sauces, and a ton of fresh horseradish I was sad that the mignonette was out of a bottle and not freshly made. read more

We arrived on a Sunday and were seated upstairs immediately. The place was decorated for Halloween. The servers were casual and attentive. The two pastas we tried were just ok but expensive for the lack of meat involved. The broccolini was excellent and so were the oysters. We also enjoyed the bread. We would return. read more

There are live fish tanks in it, I think it'd be a great date spot tbh. They also have happy hour deals for oysters so check out their deals. Each table has a turntable with 6 hot sauces ranging from least to most spicy but even the most spicy one is not that spicy lol. They have a variety of oysters and they were super fresh! read more

Foods here are in good quality. The seafoods here are so fresh and juicy! I like the oysters on the shell and seafood pasta. The mussels in the seafood pasta are juicy. The clam chowder is creamy and yummy. Cheesecake is moisture and soft inside, not too sweet. Services here is also good , my server introduced me the oysters' from location and taste. Crews here have good smiles and body shapes. read more

We had a reservation for 10 and the staff were awesome. We were seated upstairs and on a warm day it was uncomfortably hot. Our server was great about keeping us filled with water and bringing ice which helped. The oysters were good but pricey. I had the shrimp and crab sliders and they were excellent. Those in our group who had salad loved the dressing. I loved the tootsie rolls as you leave in lieu of mints! read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday evening and the place was hopping. We were just able to catch the tail end of happy hour but it was quite packed in there. I would recommend making a reservation if coming here during prime time. We got the Fried Humbolt Squid Fingers and the Halibut Bits and Bites as well as 2 oysters. Everything was tasty and it was a great place for some quick happy hour eats. read more

We were seated, without a reservation, at a tiny table in the upstairs corner overlooking the oyster bar. The space is difficult to understand. It reminds me of a shanty on a remote beach somewhere not in Vancouver. I know it's odd to go to an oyster bar and not eat fresh shellfish but we were craving cooked salmon. Rodney's had it on the menu so we took a chance. The Manhattan clam chowder, which I was looking forward to was disappointing. I counted about four bits of clams. And my husband wasn't sure if he'd had any. That gives you an idea. It could have been saved had the broth been interesting. But it was a riff on spicy marinara sauce. Manhattan clam chowder is supposed to taste of clam broth in a mild tomato base that doesn't overwhelm the flavor of the clams. However it was also loaded with little bits of chopped bell peppers. Why? There were a few other bits of vegetables in it. I wouldn't order it again. We ordered the bread which had great sourdough flavor but it would have been tastier, imo, if it were at least, room temperature. The butter was not rock hard so that was alright. Creamy ale, which my husband ordered, lived up to its name, smooth without a bitter bite. The citrus salmon dish arrived without fanfare. It was delicious. The salmon was pan fried in a savory butter sauce that had a lovely mixture of herbs and seasonings. The fish was tender and moist. It was what I'd hoped. The spare vegetables, beet, broccoli, pieces of turnip and baby carrots were cooked al dente. The rice was fluffy and herby - nice. Overall, it was a good meal. I would have preferred to eat in a nicer atmosphere or at least without the music turned up to a numbing noise. But this is a bar first and foremost. Service was fast and efficient. We didn't need to ask for anything because it was already provided. There were no extra touches. I wouldn't return because it was too noisy but I would recommend it to anyone wanting to eat at a bar. read more

Really amazing oysters! This place serves a wide variety of oysters that were de-shelled very well! They have a good happy hour deal for oysters too! The restaurant had a nice ship ambience with the wood themed decorations. The service was great, and our waiter explained where all the oysters came from. Overall, I highly recommend trying this place! read more

Found my new favorite seafood restaurant! We made reservations for a sat night and was able to find nearby street parking. The restaurant itself is very small but lively. We ordered: -lobster and shrimp roll -clam chowder -clams -oysters Everything was so good and fresh. The star of the night was the lobster and shrimp rolls, they were generous with the fillings and I loved thee extra crunchy bread. It created a really good crunchy texture to the dish. The oysters were also all very good and not fishy at all. We loved the variety of sauces they provided for the oysters too. read more

Oysters are fresh, clam chowder was okay but it doesn't come with sourdough bread and for the price, we have definitely had better. Had to order bread on the side. Fries are good too. Happy hour specials are good too. Service was okay, it was busy but server was rushing and got our order wrong. Not really attentive and didn't really come and check on us. read more

We loved this place. The oyster bar guys are great bar tenders and oyster shuckers. You really have to sit at the bar to appreciate the whole experience.

Wanted to try some good seafood out on our trip to Vancouver and saw this popular spot. Everything we got was amazing! We got a dozen oysters (mixed) to start. Definitely get these here! All of the oysters were so fresh and each different breed had a different texture. The Lobster and Shrimp rolls really surprised us! Don't let the fact that they are just sliders fool you. These were filled with seafood with the kicker being the toasty Buns doused in butter. Get these too! The clams cooked in a garlic, wine sauce was comforting. Make sure to grab some bread to dip into that wonderful broth (or drink it straight from the bowl). The clam chowder was hot and comforting; nice addition to the rest of the dishes. Definitely a must try place if you love all things seafood. read more

Anniversary dinner. Great decision of mine to have it here. Great food, service and very jovial ambiance.

Had dinner our first night in Vancouver at Rodney's. I would suggest reservations, as it is busy and small. We arrived early for our reservation, but they were able to seat us. Little did I know, Vancouver is a happy hour town! We followed our server's suggestions and got some oysters, lobster and shrimp sliders, garlic prawns, and sourdough. I HIGHLY recommend dipping your sourdough in the sauce the garlic prawns are served in. I would skip the lobster and shrimp sliders next time. A fun stop while in Vancouver! read more

I'm usually not super crazy about raw oysters but Rodney's has converted me. Went for happy hour just to try these oysters and it was so fresh and such a great experience. The raw oysters come with a variety of sauces from mild to super spicy. The Server was very attentive and checks up on you. Their restrooms are also clean which is a plus. read more

We were a large group of 8 coming in without a reservation, but luckily we were off peak and they were a Joe to seat us right away. Our server came quickly and greeted us and told us about the happy hour specials. The wine happy hour special was good and very generous pour. The oysters were pretty good as well, I think I'm a sucker for east coast oysters, but these west coast ones were a pretty close second. We just came for apps and drinks and a place to watch the game and this was perfect. Next time we're in town we'll likely come back. read more

You can't go wrong with fresh seafood! We started with a couple dozen fresh oysters. Super fresh and nothing wrong with getting them during their happy hour. Loved their selection of hot sauces along with the horseradish. Deep fried calamari with some freshly sliced jalapeños. Crispy, delicious with just the right crunch of spice to offset the deep fried goodness. Of course we have to have their lobster rolls although it's on a brioche bun instead. A perfect complement with the buttery and sweet bread. Last was their mussels. This might be my favourite as the blend of brininess along with the fresh herbs was a fantastic duo. read more

This restaurant is casual and fun and very loud inside. We didn't have a reservation so we had to wait 45 minutes but they did squeeze us in which was very appreciated. Our server was fantastic. We had 10mo baby with us, and even though they don't have high chairs, all the servers were so nice and interacted with her in such a friendly way. Food was great, the crusted halibut was amazing. The crispy cauliflower was spicy and had great sauce that really added lots of flavor. Fried calamari was melt in your mouth delicious. Would definitely go back. read more

I came into Rodney's oyster house on a Thursday night during happy hour and man this may have been some of the most delicious oysters I have ever had. They oysters were fairly big in size which I love, the freshness was absolutely insane. They tasted phenomenal. Being from Vegas we don't get to enjoy fresh oysters much so anytime I'm traveling I like to go all out. The atmosphere in the restaurant was fun and lively it's not a huge location but it fits a good amount of people. Our server was very attentive and nice. The drinks and draft beer were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to coming back here and enjoying this restaurant! read more

What is not to love? Guests will feel a distinct maritime aesthetic and chill energy as soon as you enter Rodney's. The team is very eager to welcome you, and the large tables offer plenty of space for drinks and seafood. Dylan was fantastic. I cannot remember a time where I laughed so hard with a server, and we heard plenty of interesting stories and local restaurant and bar recommendations from them. Dylan was great with recommending oysters, too, and we settled on several varieties from multiple North American regions. They also brought us a lazy susan of hot sauces, so, of course, we played Hot Ones with oysters. The drinks were tasty, and I truly enjoyed myself here. You can tell how excellent the food quality is here, and I cannot wait to return on my next trip to Vancouver. My only feedback would be that Yaletown should generally have more patio dining. Why is there so much parking?! Make this area pedestrian and experience-focused. read more

Guys. 5 stars all around. We loved the staff. They were great and super helpful and also informative. Felt like I was talking to old friends. The food! Ok, the food was one of the best meals I've ever had. Excellent price as well. Beautiful spot with and upstairs loft. Great vibes all around. Would love to come back to Vancouver and eat here again. Put it this way, we ate here on our last day and we were bummed we had to leave cause we would have ate here every night if we found it sooner. read more

This place was very tasty! If you can, make a reservation. We sat at the bar which had a lot of action going on, lots to watch! We shared the lobster and shrimp sliders, they were very tasty!

Our order had been forgotten but we got free drinks for waiting. Overall, it was w good stop! read more

My group didn't make reservations for dinner because we weren't sure what time people would be hungry or where we would be wondering to. We initially wanted to check out Fanny Bay Oyster but they had no reservations available. So we called Rodney's to see if they had space for our group of 10 people. Luckily, Rodney was available, so we made our way to the restaurant! We really wanted to try the seafood here. Half of us wanted to eat oysters, while the other half wanted to eat other food besides oysters. So I sat at the non-oyster eating table. -Ocean salad (5/5) - I've never had a seafood salad before, but this salad was so refreshing and nice to eat. Must order. -Atlantic lobster poutine (5/5) - Since we haven't gotten poutine in Vancouver yet, we might as well order some here. This dish was really good. I just keep eating it. Must order. -Hokkaido scallop pasta (5/5) - I love seared scallop anything. The pasta saucy was went really well with the linguine noodles. Must order. -Manilla clams (5/5) - The clams were really good. I don't usually order clams since not all restaurants do a good job with cleaning clams before cooking them. The clam sauce was really good, so we dipped some of the artisan bread that we ordered in the sauce! The restaurant was pretty busy. Another bach party also had a dinner celebration here. The staff was really nice. When it was time for the check, the staff was nice enough to help us split the check even thought we didn't ask for it haha. The seafood here was really good. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Happy hour oysters were awesome and fun with all the sauces they give you. The ocean salad and shrimp and lobster sliders were delicious.

I found this place accidentally but I'm glad I did because it was a vibe! It was a pretty busy restaurant in Yaletown. I just wanted oysters but I got lobster and shrimp roll sliders, pickles, oysters, and great service. First, the music is what made my experience amazing! The staff at the raw bar were jamming to the tunes, and so I felt the freedom to do so as well ! The oysters were delicious but the one downside is they don't serve them with a mignonette, just horseradish I believe. But lobster and shrimp roll sliders were on a brioche crispy bun and served with the pickle. This right here was my fav. I had no idea I'd love it but I did. I highly recommend. read more
