| - *How we heard of this place: It was a busy Friday night at distillery. We knew we wanted a patio seat & my significant other enjoys oysters so I figured from the selection of restaurants, this was the place to go! And with the hostess standing out front with menus to look at, it was hard not to stop by*
We ordered: Shuckers Dozen: Oysters from East to West Coast (PEI saltgrass point, Acadian gold???- I forget, BC marina top drawer)
&
Pure Spirits Pappardelle: lobster, wild mushrooms, BLACK TRUFFLE CREAM SAUCE
Oysters were good. Saltgrass point was our favourite because it was nice and clean. The BC Marina top drawer is larger (hard to swallow lol) so you're going to have to chew it! And it's oddly creamy for an oyster. I thought it was interesting and liked it, however it was a complete miss for my dinner date. Dish of the night was most definitely the lobster pasta. We don't like to order the same thing but it just sounded too amazing. Savoury, Mouthwatering, Rich, Filling. Prepare to get itis after that pasta!
We sat at the patio and it was really cute. Our server was very knowledgable about the different types of oysters and he also recommended the pasta to us. Now Yelp reviewers gave this place 3/5 Stars but based on what we ordered, I would have rated it 4.5/5. I saw other tables ordering mussels and they give you a large bowl full of it. I would go back and try it. Complimentary bread is always good too :)
