| - I've loved this place ever since I first came here almost 10 years ago, and the love for Rodney's has not faded. It was a while since I've made a visit, but the restaurant still continues to maintain its charm, and more importantly, the quality of the food (although I was a bit sad that the rice pudding is no longer on their menu...).
They have a wide variety of oysters that come in fresh daily, which can make it a little difficult to choose unless you're an oyster connoisseur. I absolutely love oysters but haven't really put in much effort into remembering which ones I like, so I usually just ask the server to bring me a selection of their recommendation, and so far, I haven't been disappointed. Some may be a little more briny and saltier than I might like, but that's all just personal preference, and the best oyster really depends on your own palette. My favourite part about Rodney's really comes from their large selection of sauces, which range in the level of spice. I don't find Tabasco to by spicy enough, so their extra spicy sauce provides me the right amount of heat I enjoy.
Their appetizers in my opinion outshine their entrees. Their clam chowders, both the New England and the Manhattan kind, are excellent. They are chunky, they don't skimp out on the clams, and they make sure you will always get a bite of a clam with every spoonful. Another must-order is their cocktail shrimps, they are jumbo-sized, succulent, and the sauce had a nice kick to it that pairs well with the shrimp.
I'm a big fan of cocktails and unfortunately the only cocktail they have here are Caesar's, which I found a little too watery for my liking. I would've preferred a stronger taste of the tomato, but it does hit the spot if you are craving one. They do have a fairly small whiskey and scotch selection, and they do offer a bunch of beers but this isn't quite the right choice if you're looking for a big bar selection.
The entrees at Rodney's are kept simple, which has always been my preference when it comes to seafood. They don't overpower the seafood with thick sauces, are too many spices, which lets the seafood showcase itself. It may taste a little bland for some people, but I personally prefer food to taste a little on the lighter side.
Service at Rodney's is always attentive and friendly, and fits more of a casual and relaxed environment despite the price point. It is a fairly expensive place, and if you're on a tight budget, I would recommend eating somewhere else first then grab a few oysters & appetizers here - and even then it can still cost quite a bit, as each oyster can range from $2 to $5. If price is not an issue for you, then go all out and enjoy all the great things the oceans have to offer.
