"One of the best places" for an "excellent selection" of "super-fresh" oysters, this "small" West Queen West diner also satisfies with other "gourmet seafood" selections in an "unpretentious", "relaxed" space; it's "nothing fancy", but a "comfortable vibe", "helpful" staffers and prices that "aren't wallet-gouging" further make it "recommended" for a "night out with friends."
Mollusk expert Adam Colquhoun runs a vibrant, fun, and very friendly bar and casual dining room where the fresh on-the-shell fare is superb and as fine as the cooked seafood, sourced mostly from Canadian suppliers.

Great crab cakes, great... more

Fusion hot spots beware. Mediterranean mainstays move over. Gourmet pizzerias step aside. In a city inundated with wannabe bistros, noodle houses and trattorias, could our collective appetite for restaurants that look closer to home for inspiration be worthy of a trend?
That’s what Oyster Boy, the latest new hot spot to appear on Queen West’s new restaurant row, is hoping. But don’t expect to...
