| - Four of us had a delightful dinner at Rodney's on King St. West. After dinner, Rodney himself visited our table, and we had our group picture taken behind the oyster bar (so yes, he's there).
We had our primary waitress, but another waiter also checked on us, refilled water, served food, etc. Based on other postings, it would appear they've responded and stepped up service to a 4-star level.
Our waitress recommended, then promptly served beautiful oysters. She helpfully suggested choices from among the many available sauces. We also had chowders which were terrific.
We ordered lobster, dungeness crab, and fresh scallops. Our waitress introduced us to the live lobster and crab before carrying them off to the kitchen! They were prepared perfectly, having done some of the work to make eating easy. All the necessary tools came along too.
We didn't sample any wine or beers because we had show tickets at Princess of Wales Theatre, which is a short 10 minute walk down King Street.
The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there was time between finishing our soup and dinner service. That may have been delays in the kitchen, or just the time it took to prepare fresh shellfish. That said, both of our servers let us know they were checking on our food, so we didn't feel forgotten.
If going to the theatre in Toronto and in the mood for seafood, DEFINITELY put Rodney's on your list.
