Claddagh Oyster House

Great little place in Charlottetown. Our service was excellent. We of course enjoyed the oysters, but the halibut really stole the show. Perfectly cooked, amazing flavor.

Great place to eat. Allows for kids but a bit dark and I wouldn’t say is the best place for kids even though they have a decent kids menu.

Lobster balls and crab legs were great. Oysters and mussels were super fresh and highly recommended. Had the surf and turf and scallops were great. The pork belly was very dry and I couldn’t eat one of them because it was like jerky.

Recommend the mussels for an appy! Serving was plentiful to share.
Lobster roll was stacked full of meat.
Their seafood pasta was full of so many goodies!

Seafood was delicious but we found it was quite dark in the upstairs room. We were glad we made reservations as we noticed several people without them were turned away.

One of our best meals on PEI. I had fish chowder with seafood pasta. Both were wonderful. Nice selection of wines too, not super large but I liked the Chardonnay the waiter suggested even though I'm not usually a Chardonnay fan.

Expertly prepared fresh oysters and seafood. Highly recommend the seafood pasta - delicious! Small dining room, reservations are a must. Attentive waitstaff.

My husband is in a wheelchair and they neglected to include that the only entrance is up a flight of stairs. It's 2023 and you have no accessibility? So just screw anyone whos in a wheelchair? I understand that it's a heritage building but I've been to castles in Spain that made an effort to include ramps and an elevator. You should be ashamed.

Charlottetown's best restaurant did not disappoint. The seafood cakes and pasta were delicious! Be sure to reserve a couple of days ahead, it's a small room.

This place is marvelous！Yummy oysters, mussels and lobster; as well as the dessert

Plus, appreciated with the special cocktail that the server recommended

The food is incredible and the vibe cozy and quaint. But the bar and servers are trash. We have two different servers bring us our orders and neither could speak to the specifics of the wines on their list. We kept drinking so at one point, when our drinks had been empty much too long, I went up to the bar to order a cocktail and asked for a whisky sour. The bartender replied, “so whisky and lime? ! ” I was confused. He repeated himself with confidence. Ignorance or ego? It was super unclear. I explained what a sour was but ended up ordering a glass of wine, even though he also couldn’t answer basic questions about it. He’s their full time bartender so I won’t be rushing back.

Oysters are okay, lobster risotto is fair price and good. Cocktails no no but consider the price and it’s not their expertise, so can be okay. The major problem is their mains. Problem is very very sweet; the choice of sauce literally ruin the ingredients, I do think it’s very inappropriate. And the price overall, is $100 per person, in my opinion, you can definitely find a better place. I rarely put such a negative comment on a restaurant, but let’s say, I will not choose this restaurant one more time, it isn’t worth it.

Best culinary comfort food in a relaxed yet intimate atmosphere. Experienced service staff offering cocktails and wine pairing suggestions.

Great little place, cozy with an energetic server who made us feel at home. I had the only burger on the menu. It had a bacon jam and whipped gouda and it was amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Great food good service not enough alchol drink choices besides wine if you're a wine guy YOUR TYPE OF PLACE

Absolutely the best meal we had while visiting the East Coast. The Pork Belly was delicious and combined with the scallops divine! Outstanding service made this a memorable dining experience! Oh and that sticky date pudding!

Definitely worth the visit. Andrew was amazing and provided the best service we experienced visiting PEI.

Maybe it was a bad night, maybe our waitress/hostess had a bad night, but we heard such good things about this place and we were totally disappointed.
We made our reservation for our last night on PEI as a celebration to end our visit. Our waitress was curt at best. We ate a lot of seafood on our trip so I ordered the 10 oz striploin steak which was 45 days aged. There was a large amount of fat and grizzle. Very disappointing. When our waitress came over to take my plate she asked if I was finished. I said I was and that was the fat that was on the steak. Her comment to me was “well that’s why it was a 10oz steak. ” Picked up the plate and left. We were going to have dessert but after that we decided to pay our bill and get dessert elsewhere. We spent over $230. I would’ve expected much more.

We walked in and asked if they had room. Although there was clearly space at the bar, the person we spoke to very condescendingly told us to check “upstairs” as thought it was below her. Would never go to again.

Cute spot shared with Dublin bar… smaller intimate area, nice steakhouse and seafood offerings. Wide array of oysters. Some good wine too.

We had an amazing experience back in July! It was my daughter 19th birthday and the waiter was the absolute best. He made a drink especially for her and convinved her to have cake (which was amazing). Everything was delicious and well worth the price. This is a great restaurant, you'll pay for a great meal. Yes it's expensive but this nowhere near something you can do yourself at home and it's well worth it.

Don't listen to the Karens out there ;).

Great food, awesome service. The interior could use some updating - it felt a bit dark/uninviting.

This was a thoroughly positive dining experience. I started with the seafood chowder. It was one of the best I’ve ever had. NO potato or vegetables at all, just seafood in a delicious broth. My main was seafood risotto which was so delicious. My wife had the short rib which was also delicious. We had five in our party and all agreed this was one of the best meals we had had in years. The service was exceptional as well. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Great food great service. The seafood chowder was delicious and flavourful. Crab cakes were crispy and delicious. Halibut was cooked perfectly

We had the maple-mustard glazed salmon and the brick pressed chicken and both were delicious! Would highly recommend. Other reviews here said the service was poorer than other places but we found the service to be fast and friendly. We thought there would a patio but indoor was nice too with good ambiance and AC.

In the past we enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. This time it seemed like a busy restaurant. The food was excellent but the ambiance left us disappointed. We were celebrating our Anniversary and it was so noisy. This used to be our favourite restaurant to dine when in Charlottetown but not this time

Fantastic meal and dining experience.
Book a reservation to avoid disappointment. Saw people turned away who didn't have a reservation for a Friday evening & when people showed up after 9pm and the kitchen was closed (host called other restaurants to see if they were open and had space to help out).

Recommend the jerk snowcrab.
Our waiter was amazing and went above and beyond, cleaning my seat and table area while I was in the washroom because I'm a gross slob

Everything was good, the service, the lobster, the sides. Even the vegetables and potatoes on the side were soooo good.

Everything was spot on. Very good oysters. Fresh & subtle black garlic mussels. Delicious creamy lobster risotto. And excellent sticky date puding. Besides that the waiter was very friendly.

Blonde Savage oysters may be the best I've ever had, seared scallops were amazing, Ben took fantastic care of us

Fresh oysters were phenomonial, service was absolutely excellent. Lobster risotto was wonderful, as was the sticky date cake. Highly recommend.

We had the chef's menu with wine pairings and it was great. Couldn't be happier with the food or the service.

Ambiance stylish yet relaxing, service personal and professional, food is memorable and delicious. Bravo! Definitely going in my little black book. Great experience.

Amazing oysters, service, drinks! Great atmosphere if you're looking for something chill, a little pricey but totally worth it.

Excellent service from our waiter last night. Great with our pre-teen/teen girls - very accommodating with picky eaters. Oysters were fantastic. Steak was tasty. Beautiful ambience in front of waterfall wall.
