Rodney’s Oyster House - Vancouver, British Columbia

Great food. We had crab cakes and the lobster sliders with clam chowder - all tasty. Wish we had room for more. Service was good, people were friendly. Just wish the host didn't have to greet us by shouting over the music when we walked in. Music selection was great ... during our meal, but was so loud as to kill most conversation. Read more

The food was good but I didn't like the seats. We were squished in on the benches against the table. I had the Rodney's Seafood Pasta and that was quite good. The calamari was good but the serving size was too small. And they were out when we tried to order ... seconds. We also had crab cakes and halibut which were good. Read more

The last time I came was before Covid hit. This time I return finding the quality of food downgraded. Their signature happy hour oysters were much smaller than before and the taste was only average. I used to really like their clam chowder but this time I found it too ... salty and I had to keep drinking water to ease the taste. The restaurant’s vibe was still nice but the quality of food suggested to me that I ain’t coming back anymore. Read more

Pricy for what you get compared to other restaurants. Seafood Pasta for $37 had 2 medium sized scallops, 4 smaller shrimp, 10 assorted shelled clams/mussels. Sauce was over spiced (not hot) and missing a fresh component that could have balanced it out a bit. Scallop pasta dish for $36 with 5 ... medium sized scallops and a bland cream sauce (missing fresh or acidic component or something). Bam Bam Honey shrimp was good but the shrimp were smaller than expected for $22 but there was a decent amount of them. Hostess was good but serving staff was just alright - don't go here if you aren't drinking as you won't get service as good as other tables that are. It is was very obvious and made didn't improve the atmosphere. It is a bit loud when the places fills up but you can still hear your dinner companions. However they do have a great wine and beer menu for those who do partake. The restaurant was clean and well staffed. Should have reservations if not going during happy hour (which is before 6). Table had wood splinters coming off but the tables were spacious enough for multiple plates and they can accommodate larger groups. Read more

We had a fabulous time here! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The oysters are incredibly fresh and good quality. They also pour the wine to the very top of the glass, which is fun!
