About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    A very nice restaurant. Drinks are the best. Great wine selection. Oysters are delicious. Food was a little overcooked but they addressed that. Service couldn’t be better. We go every time we are in Halifax. Festive feeling if a little loud sometimes.

    We went for the February Dine Around menu which was posted as 3 courses for $40. We were initially only given the regular menus until we told them we were here for Dine Around, then were handed the menus and were told it was actually 2 courses for $40, we could add the dessert for $8, but they didn't have the dessert that was advertised. The food was good but am very disappointed with the false advertising.

    Hello Mariah, Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience possible dining with us last night. Please feel free to reach out to me regarding your experience at aaron@rcr.ca to discuss further. Thank you.

    Pleasantly surprised. Stumbled across this place and the food was excellent. The seafood chowder was flavourful and rich and the oyster happy hour was the icing on the cake. It was so enjoyable that I ate there 2 days in a row!!

    Service was a little slow and food took a long time. Had to ask to have our food expedited to make our next engagement. They accommodated so it all worked out. My wife wasn't happy with the temperature of their steak so she never ate most of it and due to the length of time waiting we couldn't discuss.
    SHUCK Seafood + Raw BarResponded on February 3, 2025
    Hello Ed, Thank you so much for your feedback. So sorry about the wait time on your meal and the incorrect temperature on your steak. That is certainly not what we want to hear and not the standard we hold ourselves to. Please feel free to follow up with me regarding your experience at aaron@rcr.ca and we'll see if we can make the situation right for you. Thanks again.
