John & Sons Oyster House

Great food and great ambiance! Beautiful place. Scallops were delicious and also was the key lime pie. BUT no smile from any of the servers… sad. It would have been nice.

Even the manager was kind and helpful but I must say the two female server's service was terrible

Incredible selection of oysters from across Canada if that's what you're looking for.

The food tasted great but I felt like the portions were small with the risotto. They didn’t have cocktails but a nice large selection of wine. Overall it was ok.

Oysters from Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Ryan our server was great. He perfectly described the taste of each kind.

Worst service I have ever experienced, watch for the Asian old chubby waitress, after tips, she won't give u any service. I'm an Asian too, that kind of bad service shouldn't exist, she doesn't want to help us to take a photo and keep complaint that there is not a photo booth. That day is one of our last days in Toronto, what a wonderful waitress!

Randomly walked in and was immediately met with a smile and a greeting. I had a great spot at the bar and really enjoyed the bar vibe. I had the lobster roll with fries and salad-a smart option from the bartender! Food was really good, and the Guinness pour was spot on. Overall I really liked this place and will be back soon.

Great place for lunch. I absolutely love their clam chowder a small bowl including bread is only $12. All the wait staff are friendly and efficient. Fresh oysters are awesome lots of variety and very fresh.

Just really good oysters. Had two from PEI and they were chucked right in front of me which added to the freshness. The Thai curry mussels were delicious. The French fries that makes you sad when they're gone.

Is this best Oyster house in the city? Absolutely. With a menu that goes beyond oysters this is a great spot. Options for those that aren't into seafood are available featuring a ridiculously good burger and solid steak frites. Great service rounds out this hidden gem!

Love the oysters, Cioppono was very good and the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream topped it all off.totally underrated place which you should go.

Oysters were amazing. Fresh, perfectly shucked, really good homemade sauces. One of the best places in the city for oysters. Lobster roll was delicious and the house fries are REALLY good as well. Service was also excellent. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Food is okay, but waiting time is way too long. Waited for 40minutes and the appetizer not yet ready. Only three servants, and the service is bad. Asked 2 servants for napkins and I only got 2 after 5 minutes. Throw up when I got home, I guess it is because of the 2 smelly oysters they served.

4.5/5

Great place to visit after a long day at the office. The ambiance is warm and relaxing. The food was tasty. Good use of spices and herbs. Yum! The servers were attentive and pleasant. Would definitely return!

I grabbed a quick lunch here with a friend and the service was excellent. I got a Caesar that was excellent. For food we picked oysters (shout out to the fanny boy oysters), shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare, the lobster roll and fish tacos. Everything was delicious, fresh and the portion sizes were great.

Visiting from out of town. Decided to try this off the main drag restaurant. Fantastic place for oysters and any type of seafood. Enjoy.

What a gem! Hubby and I stopped by for dinner last night and cannot wait to visit again. Food was outstanding! Great selection of oysters, seafood and other options. Highly recommend a spot at the bar to watch the staff in action.

Ordered oysters, flam chowder, lobster roll, and mussels, and everything was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!

Stopped by for an impromptu business lunch and had the pleasure of sitting at the bar and being served by Ryan. I would give 5 stars just for Ryans exceptional service, and i haven’t even gotten to the amazing food. Exceptional service, amazing food, tied in with a cozy intimate atmosphere make this spot a must go.

Small restaurant on a side street in busy downtown core. Nice selection of oysters, from east and west coast. Cozy interior. Happy hour deals with oysters and drinks. Fresh and one of the better lobster rolls in Toronto. Great tuna main dish.

Although I had a bad experience with the staff, I honestly found everyone extremely rude and inpatient. It was hard to get attention to be able to order another glass of wine or anything. Anytime I asked a question, I was made to feel stupid and uncomfortable.

Although the food is great, I love my oysters, but when the staff make you feel uncomfortable it ruins your experience.

I dont know if I will be going back anytime soon.

The atmosphere was amazing! We sat in a corner booth but next time I really want to sit at the bar it looked like such a vibe. The oysters were good, but I think the best part of the meal was the key lime pie for dessert.best pie I've ever had. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because we arrived for our 8pm reservation and there was no table available for us. We stood in the doorway for 15 minutes waiting for our table and then waited another 10 minutes before any server came up to us.

This hidden gem is a must visit! John, Ryan and staff are the best and helpful. The food is fresh and perfectly cooked.

Date night for dinner and a show and John & Sons did not disappoint. Well worth the visit. Tamila was a great host and made our visit very enjoyable. She selected out oysters and we shared fish and chips with a keylime pie to finish. I recommend it all! Thanks again Tamila! Some have pointed out a pricey menu but we got what we paid for which was great food, a great experience and even greater company.

Très bonne cuisine, les crustacés et la viande sont de qualité supérieure. La mayonnaise maison et les frites sont super bonnes aussi. Accueil chaleureux mais une salle un petit peu bruyante. On recommande sans hésitation

This restaurant already be my top 5 in GTA.

Our dinner experience was fantastic from start to finish.

Our servers were very attentive and took great care of us. 100% will return.
