- EEricEdmonton / Northern Alberta •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoGreat offering of oysters from the Atlantic (PEI, NB and NL). Accompanying side dishes provided a contrasting crunchy texture to the oysters, but were perhaps too far on the crunchy side. Great atmosphere but a bit tight. Overall would recommend the experience!More infoThe Adelaide Oyster HousePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Canadian• St. John's•4.6
