Even though this is an oyster bar, it has so much more: jumbo cocktail shirmp (excellent), crab cakes were AMAZING (best I've ever had), beef skewers were tender, cajun shrimp was tasty, bacon & scallops were done well.

Fin fans "simply love" the "top-notch" seafood, including some of the "freshest oysters around", at this "casual" King Wester that's been "around forever" (or since 1987); "rock-hard chairs and benches" may give it a "dive"-like feel, but "fun", "helpful" staffers , "great wine finds" and "affordable" prices given the "quality" further ensure it remains a "go-to."

Best Oysters in Toronto
We had 2 dozens of assorted oysters all was so fresh and tasty - straight from the ocean
the clam chowder is good also

Dining in a basement atmosphere, empty dark entrance greets you.
Oysters...that's all there is to say. Actually I can also add mussels and urchin, and other delish seafoods. This is currently my favorite restaurant. There are fancier more stylish places; there are more 'in' places. But to me,this place is kind of grungy and these folks know their seafood and have a passion for oysters...and it shows. It's also relatively child friendly - I've brought my 4... more
