Tucked neatly just off of King Street is the hidden courtyard of Rodney's Oyster House. I discovered that the excellent service was only surpassed by the great food. An admittedly light menu is more than compensated by the freshness of everything served. I started with the Oyster Slap Jack - a soup so good that I offered to bus tables for free for a day in exchange for the recipe. No dice. There are dice though, I suspect, hanging from the rear view mirror of whoever is in charge of the music selection - think all those songs you'd love to forget from the sixties and eighties - weird.
The oysters as expected were delicious. I finished out the evening with the smokers platter made up of just the right amount of three types of delicious smoked salmon and accompaniments. Don't miss this Toronto gem.
