My roommate and I were pleased to have an oyster place just down the street. We headed to John & Sons on Friday night for our first visit. To start we had a dozen raspberry point oysters, which were delicious, but expensive at almost $3.00 a piece.
My roommate had the lobster poutine, which I think she enjoyed (how could lobster poutine be anything less than delicious!) but couldn't help but have the 'do I need to be eating this' feeling.
I had the cioppino, which was really delicious. A bit heavy on the fennel but otherwise I have no complaints. The saffron rouille was garlicky and fragrant, the perfect touch. The cioppino stayed hot until I was finished which was nice. I also had a lovely wedge salad with a fantastic dressing (again rather garlicky).
All in all the meal was very nice but a bit on the expensive side. Worth going to for some oysters and a cocktail but if you're going for a full dinner be prepared to shell out some dough.
