  • Being an oyster virgin I was a bit hesitant to attend the 100 oysters for $100.00 evening planned with 20 close friends. But after reading the other offerings in the menu I decided to take the plunge. I am sure glad I did. Although on a smallish scale the restaurant has quite a few large booths where you can have a good nosh and visit with friends. The bar was also very inviting where you could watch the shucking happen! We were lucky enough to have the back room all to ourselves. Very comfortable room which felt like a very relaxed living room with pictures all over the walls along with bookshelves filled with cookbooks on various types of food and of course seafood! There was also a record player with a good number of lp's to choose from and play to your hearts content. We were honoured to have the owner (and Guinness World Record holder) Patrick extol the virtues of oysters as to flavours, sizes and also in shucking! For our 100 for $100.00 (which ended up being 200 for $200.00) we had a choice of Fanny Bay oysters which were quite large and the smaller Little Shemogue. The later was supposed to be milder and somewhat sweeter and that they were. Since this was my first time I decided to not add any of the condiments and just try to experience the full flavour of the oyster. Although I only had 3 oysters in total, 2 of the Little Shemogue and 1 of the Fanny Bay I can honestly say I enjoyed the Little Shemogue oysters over the Fanny Bay oysters but maybe I have to try a few more to have a better understanding of an oyster palette. With regards to the menu choices, loved the grilled cheese which they kindly made for us although they do not serve at dinner. The sourdough bread used was a real treat. Also loved my order of kalamari. Crunchy while at the same time being tender and the dipping sauce of sweet chilli, ginger and lime had just enough kick to it. My main was the PD Mussels with ginger, chilli, lemongrass, coconut milk and cilantro. The flavours and the aromas in the broth were to die for. Also came with a large bowl of frites which I though I would not be able to finish but did a very good job of it as they were delicious as well. My one regret was that I was too full to try any of the desserts. I see a trip to Pearl Diver in the near future to rectify that!
