I ended up at Hogtown Pub & Oysters randomly on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday. The original plan was for everyone to meet at NightOwl but because of how crowded and loud it was, I decided to scout out nearby places in -30C, and stopped by this gem!
The host was very quick to set us up for a table of 15 without any problems at all. The wait staff was super friendly, patient, and professional! I seriously haven't experienced this kind of service in a while. Our waitress even split our bills in the end, which I understand can be a headache with big groups.
I ordered Oysters and they were pretty great. I enjoyed the West Coast oysters more than the East Coast ones. Their fish tacos are a pretty great appetizer too.
The atmosphere is very cozy, with beautiful twinkling ceiling lights, small booths for if you're on a romantic date, and a bar in the back.
If you're in Little Italy, definitely check this place out!
