| - For a number of reasons this is absolutely the place to go for fish and seafood in Toronto. Rodney does not comprehend "not fresh," so everything and anything you eat here came out of the sea very very very very very recently. The only place on the east coast better for oysters is the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station. The Bay of Fundy scallops are a treat. The lobster club is a special treat. The curried shrimp is a treat. Everything is a treat . . . including the absolutely proper service, decor, and--yes, wait for it---lack of a sound system. You go to Rodney's if you want to think while you eat, or speak to someone who can hear you. They know how to get soft butter for your fresh bread, how to have a box of kleenex in the washroom if you have a cold, how to grate fresh horseradish in front of your eyes for your oysters. The table service is fine but can, just sometimes, be a trifle spotty. For an experience beyond compare, sit at the bar. (No one would expect the desserts to be terrific in a fish house, but the chocolate mousse is splendid.)
