Reviews for John & Sons Oyster House in Toronto, ON
Charming venue and decor. We sat in one of the comfy booths by the window. Service was pleasant. Oysters and tacos were a hit... for us. Oysters were served with several homemade accompaniments. Would be interested to try the lobster roll and poutine nexttime! Read more
Plenty of seating with great ambiance. The oysters came fresh and very quickly after ordering. The staff knew their stuff. I... also got the scallops and it was both light and delicious! Perfect if you're not super hungry and just want to fill your stomacha bit. Their Caesars were pretty good too. Also had their lobster poutine and it was very fresh and tasty. My friend got theirfish and chips and the fish tasted so fresh too. Highly recommended. Read more
As a very picky reviewer, I have no second thoughts in giving this place 5 stars, would give even more if I could. When we came... in as a party of 3, and saw the place packed, we assumed we couldn’t get any seats. However, they were able to accommodate usat the bar, and made sure we didn’t feel left out compared to the tables. This is where the level of service comes in. Theservice here is amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You don’t feel guilty asking them questions, andthey answer every question with detail and a smile. We ordered the Tuna Tartare, Fish and Chips, Seafood Linguine, and theburger, along with some oysters. All of the foods came in a timely and organized manner. The tuna tartare was first, which wasgreat. This was followed by the best east and west coast oysters I’ve had in Toronto by far. Very creamy, andflavourful. These were all followed by our main dishes mentioned above. The fish and chips were simply great! However the starswere the pasta and burger. The seafood pasta was one of the best pastas I’ve had overall, the flavour balance was amazing. Butthe most pleasantly surprising was the burger: couldn’t believe they were hiding one of the top 3 burgers I’ve had righthere in an oyster bar. The burger is much recommended, and absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back for more! 5 stars, noregrets! Read more
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. Read more
Cozy, casual yet elevated seafood place. My booking using Google map’s reservation booking, Resy, did not show up, yet we were... able to get a table at that time. The food was delicious. My lobster roll was quite tasty. The oysters were fresh. Service andstaff were great. The key lime pie was good but very cold in the centre. I will come back again to try the other menu items.

Was definitely surprised at how small the Lobster Roll was at first glance but taking a bite into it proved otherwise. Filled... with lobster and the fries were crisped perfectly! Definitely be back as the service was super friendly too. Hot tip, don’tforget to try the bread and butter! Read more
We LOVE this place!! The oysters are very fresh and great variety. This might be my all time favorite clam chowder. I actually... got another bowl for “dessert”. Super friendly staff, great service and nice assortment of wine and cocktails custom made toorder. Everything on the menu is wonderful. My only suggestion is to include bread at no charge to mop up that yummy musselsauce. Chef came out to say hello and we enjoyed the personal touch. Can’t wait to come back! Read more
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! Read more
