We couldn't disagree more with the last review. We arrived on a rainy afternoon and were immediately greeted and given a choice of tables to sit at. We chose the bar and were then treated to very attentive service and excellent advice regarding our choice of food and drink. Other diners at the bar were similarly waited upon and it... More

Went with a group of 6 for oysters and appetizers. First, one of our wine glasses was dirty, and it took the waitress 10 minutes to replace it. Then, in the middle of placing our order, she ran off without explanation. A few minutes later another server came buy and confirmed that nothing had been ordered for our table yet,... More

Rodneys has the best selection of oysters in the city. I would highly recommend to try their house wine pair it with a couple kumamoto's and beach angels. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed my visit and will go again.

I love Rodney's.... seriously, I love this place. The food is outstanding and the fun atmosphere creates a perfect date night. There is nothing on the menu that I would hesitate to recommend. When I go, I always eat at the oyster bar. Interacting with the staff and seeing the oysters makes the dining experience much better. I preferred the... More

Ate here for the first time recently- my friend had oysters and said they were great, my menu food was scallops, they were also nice, and great presentation. There are interesting items and photos all over the walls in this casual restaurant. The service was average we thought. One comment is that we had 2 different servers take our drinks... More

I guess don't need to say too much about Rodney, the reputation speaks itself... The way they treat the food, the freshness of the oysters, the selections of other seafood... Gotta mention the place actually is quite casual, yet very lively... I feel the vibrancy yet at ease while dining in this Toronto downtown hangout... Don't forget, you almost have... More

Just visited a view hours ago . As I am in the industry myself I always appreciate other businesses . Unfortunelly the service at Rodney,s oyster house is doing the food injustice . The service was not intrested in our business from the start and we were feeling not welcomed . When we ordered our second order of oysters and... More

The oysters are spectacular and I was very satisfied in the wine selection as well. The service was also amazing the night we were there. The atmosphere was fun and lively. I would highly recommend Rodney's for a great night out in T.O

Have been here numerous times when visiting Toronto and have yet to be disappointed. The oysters are always fresh, and the seafood is outstanding. It's a casual place with a very friendly staff. I suggest garb a stool at the bar, get the server to put a selection of oysters togther, get a white wine and dig in.
