OVERALL: 3.5 Stars
We had an oyster craving to fulfill so after some searching, decided on The Saint's Buck-A-Shuck (Sunday - Tuesday after 5pm). The place was easy to find with the shiny white brick exterior. The Saint was a bit empty when we arrived at 5:45pm on Labour Day but filled up quickly over the next hour.
FOOD - 4 Stars
$1 oysters: pretty good. The two of us had a dozen each (they go down easy!). Oysters were on the smaller side but for a buck we're not complaining about size. The oysters came with three sauces which were all good: a vinaigrette, homemade cocktail sauce, and mango scotch bonnet. I was really excited to try the mango scotch bonnet sauce that I read about in prior reviews (it was delish) but I actually ended up liking the homemade cocktail sauce slightly better.
Pierogies: really yummy like others have said. Filled and garnished with pork belly but still I thought it was a bit pricey at 5 for $13.
Fries with homemade ketchup and BONE MARROW AIOLI. The bone marrow (LOVE) aioli was to die for, and I don't even like aioli!
Sauteed Broccoli with chili, anchovy, and olive oil: broccoli was really tasty but swimming in oil. We ordered some veg to be "healthy" but I highly doubt it was - totally foiled!
SERVICE - 3 Stars
Service was fine - we got everything we needed but was a bit slow considering that it wasn't that busy most of the time were were there. Docked 1 Star for inadequate treatment of finding a short blond (not mine) hair on the rim of my Caesar. I saw it as the server put down my drink and pointed it out, and all he did was pluck it off with his finger. He half heartedly sorta offered to make me a new one but sensing that he wasn't that keen, and that it didn't actually phase me that much, I just kept the drink (and used the straw!) Even though the hair itself didn't bother me that much, I expected a nicer establishment to care a bit more and insist on making a new drink or comping it. Oh well.
Overall we enjoyed our food and I'd come back here for the bone marrow aioli and oysters if I'm in the area.
