My friend and I went here for happy hour. Their computers are set a few minutes slower so we ordered fries and a salad while we waited for it to be time for $ 1 Oysters. The vinegar and salt fries were okay, I don’t think they are worth $ 8 though. The beet salad I got was definitely not worth it. Iceberg lettuce with a few cherry tomatoes, a few pieces of beets, goat cheese, and ranch dressing for $ 12. Four words: Do not get it. It wasn’t awful, it just wasn’t very good. Definitely not worth the price, even with the skyrocketing prices of produce. So when it was finally happy hour, my friend ordered 8 oysters and I ordered 5. They brought us 10, and 8. The waitress pretended like she didn’t know how many she was bringing out to us. Whatever, we said it was fine and took them. They weren’t bad, but you can’t really screw up oysters on a half shell. So when the bill comes, the waitress said she took off some of the oysters because they made a mistake, but the bill very clearly said they charged us for 18 oysters. I dislike liars. $ 50 for a mediocre salad, fries, and 18 oysters. Meh.

Me and my friend went there for Winterlicious dinner last night and both of us though it was okay but it wasn’t as good as we expected. We ordered the strip loin and whitefish for the main courses. For me the most disappointing thing was the steak got burnt a bit on the outside… And I felt like the sauce of the whitefish was bit too strong(too acidic). But other than that, everything was good. I love the bread pudding, I would recommend that.

Great entrees, mediocre at best appetizers and sides, decent desserts. All overpriced. Attentive but unenthusiastic service. Sat down for dinner at 5:45 and they failed to advise re: happy hour specials in lounge … rather unethical by my standards. Will likely never go back.

I almost didn’t want to share this happy hour gem, but it looks like word is already out! Every day happy hour is $ 1 oysters, $ 2 giant prawns and $ 5 beer. Tonight they had malpeque oysters for their buck a shuck. They serve them with lemon, a mignonette, fresh horseradish and cocktail sauce and you can get Tabasco and sriracha on the side. The $ 5 beer was Muskoka’s winter ale which was really tasty and a great deal for craft beer downtown. We also ordered a charcuterie plate which had 3 different meats, pâté, pickled veggies and amazing grilled bread. This place fills up during happy hour, so get here early. It’s pretty snazzy in here, so wear at least business casual or better otherwise you may feel and look out of place.

I was here for the happy hour(buck a shuck, prawns for $ 2 and $ 5 beer and $ 7 white or red wine). This is a classy and stylish place, great décor and atmosphere. Staff are professional and friendly. I work in the next building so TSC is my go to place while I work in down town core. I will definitely come back many more time. Try this place if you haven’t already you will love it.

I returned to the restaurant but was disappointed in the cooked seafood plate. My friend and I were thinking of trying the cold seafood platter and then the cooked seafood plate. The service was great in the lounge with very few patrons on a week night over the holidays. We missed the happy hour specials before 7 pm but stayed long enough to enjoy the late night ones. We ordered a bottle of white from Monterey which we enjoyed. It was reasonably priced compared to other options. The seafood platter was great with crab, shrimp, oysters, scallop, and king crab. It was great with more premium items than other places buy the price reflected it. Now on to the hot seafood plate. They had lobster, scallop, other seafood, potatoes and asparagus. However it was do disappointing compared to the platter that we had to let the waitress know. She was very nice enough to make us happy with some extra seafood. I will go back but avoid the hot seafood plate next time.

Came to The Shore Club for their 4 – 7 pm happy hour special. Their happy hour special is multi-day, runs through Monday to Friday. They serve $ 5 draught beers, $ 7 wines(they choose the selection), $ 1 oysters and $ 2 prawns. The restaurant is super nice and cozy and reminds you of an upscale bar/restaurant you’ll find in the 1920’s. It has an old charm but still a modern feel to it. The waitresses were attentive and very nice. Ordered the $ 1 oysters special and their drink specials. Oysters were super fresh and they gave a variety of oysters from both the west coast and east coast. Highly recommend this to people who are in the financial district and are down to grub on oysters after work!

Nice relaxing atmosphere with service that is friendly… I would say the food is very tasty and I’ve tried many things on the menu. I’m a big fan of the macadamia encrusted halibut very light and fluffy but full of flavor. I like to take advantage of the specials from 4−7pm and 10−12am. This is probably one of the main reasons I go to shore club so often. Oysters are $ 1 each prawns are $ 2 each and for drinks $ 5 pints of Sapporo and $ 7 glass of wine. Overall just having a few drinks oyster and prawns late one night makes for an inexpensive night in a fancy and classy place. Enjoy I know I do :)

Lunch — great service. Food was not great. Ordered fish and chips. Fish was dry and overcooked. Fries were OK. For the prices, I expected great quality

Too pricey for its own good and the food was mediocre at best. We sat in the lounge for a late night dinner. It was quite and comfortable. I ordered a plate of oysters which they claim were $ 1 each in the lounge for the late night menu, but on bill was charged $ 3 each… So beware! For entrée I ordered the stuffed trout. It was dry, bland and poorly presented. My friend claimed her braised short ribs were delucious, but I found them to be light on flavor. Lobster mac and cheese was pretty good, but then again how could that not be? The prices were very high for what you get and really all we got was some nice ambiance, which was probably because of the company I was keeping. This place might be good for drinks, but if your looking for good eats, I would look elsewhere.

The quality of the food is high. The portions are small and prices are high if you are ordering from the dinner menu. For example 3 oyster Rock, bowl of lobster Bisque, and a piece of rainbow trout(that was a good portion) total $ 67.00 with no drinks. Happy hour looks like a better deal.

Great experience for a mid week get together. Hostess was incredibly inviting and warm, great bar staff and cocktailers. Took advantage of bar specials and lovely ambience. Staff are incredibly hospitable and the bar area is very lively. Would definitely come back again, servers lanna and a brunette with glasses(apologies for not remembering) were more than happy to run through the menu and let us know about what was a must try. Albience, service, and food all on point. What a great spot I never visited. They even put out an appetizer type bowl of nuts!

Shore Club has a great Happy Hour during the week from 4−7pm. You can get $ 5 beer and $ 7 red/white wine(the specific wine on offer changes so you get to try a variety!). The oysters(only $ 1) and jumbo shrimp($ 2) taste amazing! They also recently added fries to the food menu. It’s a super classy place with a great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and generally quite attentive. Convenient place to grab a few drinks with friends after work. Highly recommended!

Been a big fan of The Shore Club for a while especially for their 5 – 7 special on weekdays when they have their special($ 1 oysters and $ 2 prawns, $ 5 beer and $ 7 wine). Been there maybe 3 – 4 times at least and never had a bad experience. Excellent setting, décor and an excellent experience. The oysters are delicious and fresh. Also had the burger a few times and it is incredible. The calamari is a bit soggy(had it twice and both times was not that great) but generally it is a small issue that shouldn’t detract from the great experience

Three of us went to dinner here and ended up ordering the same Lobster Mac & Cheese special plus a different salad for all of us. It was kind of humorous since the menu is not only extensive, also hosting some good meat selections, but at the same time very inviting — as in everything was looking like a real option for dinner that night. Service was wonderful and the Lobster Mac & Cheese was nothing like the title hints at. It was more like some wonderfully prepared lobster over pasta with Parmesan cheese.(See the photo I took)

I came here for the lounge special from 4−7pm: Oysters ~$ 1 comes with cocktail sauce, vinegar, horseradish. You can order any quantity as long as they have it available. Prawns ~$ 2 meaty and more filling if you were here to fulfill an appetite moreso than to socialize. The staff were accommodating although it was quite busy. On top of that i didn’t expect for the interior of the place to be so upscale, and put together. This is one of the most ideal places for dollar oysters since there is no set dozen you have to order, and the ambiance is super impressive; comfy and classy.

Went here last Friday to try out their happy hour offerings 5PM — 7PM: -$ 2 Prawns -$ 1 Oysters -$ 5 Sapporo The prawns were amazing and you can’t really go wrong with the oysters. The Shore Club is located between RBC Dexia and Ritz Carlton Hotel, which is very close to the financial district. The atmosphere is classy and you could expect to see people in suits there. Cheap drinks and oysters, not much more you can ask for.

If someone uttered the words ‘financial district’ and ‘happy hour’ The Shore Club would never have crossed my mind. That is, until I attended a meet up event there a few weeks ago. For such a ritzy looking place the bar prices during this time are surprisingly decent. What’s The Deal? 4 — 7pm weekdays $ 7 wine, one red and one white $ 5 Sapporo $ 1 oysters and $ 2 prawns/shrimp The bar area is really nice, there are tables, booths and bar stools and it is just the right amount of dark. The servers are very professional, it is full but not so full you cannot find a seat and has a happening vibe without being too loud. You definitely feel like you are leaving the hustle and bustle of the downtown when you step inside. The clientele are your typical Bay Streeters but probably not the same ones that frequent Earls on a Wednesday night. Aside from the oyster/prawn deal you can also order from the bar menu. Unfortunately(for me) this is entirely seafood. I know, I know… it is a seafood and steak restaurant. But it would be nice if they could throw in something generic like kettle chips or sweet potato fries. The happy hour wines apparently change every month or so. At the moment the red is a perfectly adequate Côtes du Rhôné. However I am disappointed the white — a moscato from Greece. Aside from the fact that I don’t consider that serious enough wine to be the house, this one is quite dry, and everyone I’ve seen order it switches to red on the next round. It isn’t actually on the regular wine menu so I guess that tells you how they feel about it. A pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc would probably be a better choice.

I was always afraid this place was a bit too swanky for a random afternoon drink and snack. Ummm… Why did I not find this place sooner? Happy hour runs from 4−7pm. Weekdays for sure, dunno about weekends. Oysters are a buck. Prawns are two bucks. Sapporo is $ 5. Decent white and red wines for $ 7 a glass. How is this place not jam-packed??? Irish Point from P.E.I. were smaller oysters but they were so fresh and so clean tasting. We had over 3 dozen. They came with cocktail sauce, mignonette, and some lemon wedges. Of course, freshly grated horseradish too. The prawns were large and firm. Very good with the cocktail sauce, a dash of hot sauce, a sprinkling of horseradish, and a few drops of lemon. I need to try their regular menu one of these days. I’m just not sure I can get past the bar area with these amazing Happy Hour deals!!! Service was excellent. No snobbery here. Who says you can only eat oysters in months with an «R»? Nonsense.
