| - I am throughly impressed with Rodney's oysters house, and I don't say that often! Being from Nova Scotia, I was feeling a little homesick and on the hunt for fresh oysters and seafood for that matter. My friend immediately suggested Rodney's and the reservation was made.
Their selection of oysters at first worried me because they have such a huge selection, I was concerned about the freshness. But after trying 4 different kinds, from 4 different regions, they all were completely fresh, decadent and absolutely delicious and arrived promptly. Our server, was extremely knowledgeable about each and kindly suggested their house white wine as a pairing, which worked well with each of the different tastes of the oysters. Also, their selection of condiments and mignonettes was impressive, and our server advised which would be best with the different oysters. Their condiments consisted of the typical toppings for oysters but they had a selection of house made condiments, that ranged from spicy, savory and sweet and were so great I seriously thought about purchasing a few of them. On top of the oysters, we ordered the fried smelts which I never had before and was a little skeptical. But they were cooked to perfection and accompanied by a tarter sauce, which was equally delicious. Also, we chose the their daily tartare which was salmon, which was equally as fresh and divine as their oysters.
The decor is very fisherman chic, which seems to be appropriate considering their menu items. There's more of a laid back vibe here which makes me feel like I'm back at home. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you are a seafood lover, or looking to match the freshness west of the east coast. I can't wait to go back! After reading this review you can tell key words are, delicious and fresh, everything good seafood should be described as.
