About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for outdoor dining
It’s obvious we’re all about oysters (they’re chilling on ice as soon as you walk in), but one look at our menu and you’ll see that Shuck is so much more.

Our raw bar features the freshest fish and shellfish with inventive flavors designed to complement, never cover up. Our snacks, sides, and starters are perfect for sharing, and our mains elevate favourite classics from down home to down right delicious.

Warm wood paneling and eclectic glasswork create an atmosphere that captures the spirit of Maritime living. There’s no red carpet here, but we have laid out the best in paper over our tablecloths so you can get to slurping, sharing, and savoring. Join us for lunch in a jiffy, or hang around for a while over dinner for an experience that’s modern, authentic, and unabashedly East Coast.

    I rarely leave negative reviews but we were very disappointed - given the rating this has on open table. The service staff are friendly and polite - I will give them that. But we were slow to be served and the time it took for things to appear at our table was difficult to understand given that the place was not crowded. The Oysters were fine and the salad ok. But my main course - char - was unrecognizable as char - a fish I love and have had so many times in the past. It had either been terribly overcooked or left under a heating lamp too long . It came with a combination of mixed vegetables that seemed like it was whatever the chef had laying around in the back. My wife’s crab cakes were more like overdone hush puppies - more breading than anything else. So many better dining options in that area of Halifax.

    Hi John, I am so sorry you left feeling disappointed Friday night, that is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. Feel free to contact us via email if you would like to discuss this further. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

    Limited menu. Small section of oysters available at the time.

    Hello Sean, Thank you for your feedback. We had our full menu available last night as well as 8 different types of oysters on the raw bar. Sorry if you did not feel like that was enough.

    Great seafood in very high quality. Outside sitting is a bit noisy due to the street traffic.

    A gem on the waterfront in Halifax. Seafood was cooked perfectly, Grace was an amazing server and the atmosphere was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
