Super expensive. Oysters cost about $50 for a dozen plus tax and tips.Good service I'm not sure if it's worth the price.

Disclaimer: I'm not a seafood person and this is a place that excels at serving seafood.Coming from SF, we would describe this space as cozy. It's a place where you may need to crabwalk between the bar and the table behind you to get to the bathroom on a packed day.It's also a place that produces damn good food. Others from the table grabbed oysters which comes in batches of 6, 12 or 24. They arrive on ice and are served with an array of sauces. Since they come from different sources, you won't be eating the same kind for the entire plate.I ordered the only non-seafood dish, the Angus Striploin. Done medium-rare, this dish will make you feel wasteful for leaving the sauces. We found ourselves sopping up the remaining sauces with the bread.With the crispy kale and garlic potatoes, one can not go wrong with this option.

We had a great evening here. One of the best assortments of oysters I’ve ever had. Ate at the bar and had a great conversation with the staff. Very engaging and attentive. One the best aspects was the scotch in the oyster shells. That will be my go-to. Music was outstanding and overall vibe terrific.

First time at the Whalesbone last night. What a great experience! Great space, amazing seafood platter and THE best Caesar salad I have ever had. Staff were great. Especially wanted to thank our amazing server Angela who made it a really fun night for us, offered up delicious recommendations and made us feel super comfortable. We will be back!!!

Good location, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. The staff are also knowledgeable about their offerings and drinks.This is one of the go to places for oysters in the city. Definitely a must, if you're a fan.Their other meals change through the year with local foods incorporated into it.One downside of this location is that there is no AC, so it gets quite hot in there.

We went to the original Whalesbone restaurant on Bank street. Always great service and food. OMG, I love oysters. C'mon down and try a plate, or two. The Bank street location is smaller, but has great decor, atmosphere. Am I in Newfoundland?? Maybe. Thanks for great food. Loved the salmon. Yummy.

We just finished a museum visit and started walking around the area looking for a place to eat. Did a quick search for seafood restaurants nearby on Google Maps. Nearest was Whalesbone " merely a few hundred meters away

Friendly, personable, attentive staff made this high end restaurant accessible to tourists. If you know nothing about oysters, but enjoy seafood fine dining, come here! Everything was excellent. No dress code required. Expect to spend about $40-50 per person.

This is my ultimate place to go for oysters! Always fresh and soooo delicious. They have so much sauce to choose from for your oysters! I always eat like 50$ worth of oysters every time I come here haha! Their salmon and soup is very good and the deep fried ice cream is my favourite! Love love love it! The staff is very chill and friendly and seems like they love working here! Nice and cozy with great food, excellent place for any kind of occasion.
