Merchantman Fresh Seafood & Oyster Bar
What a fantastic restaurant! Very nice theme, and nice dining environment, classy yet friendly! Great dinner spot for a casual dining or celebration. Food were so delicious, a very pleasant surprise for us! We ordered the strip loin, and it was perfectly cooked to our preference! So tender, juicy just delicious! The seafood is so delicious, they didn't just flat boiled it, it has a great garlic and herb buttery flavor. The side salads were very fresh!

Soooo yummy. 10/10 food and experience. Got the shucking Caesar (comes w an oyster), chowder (has mussels!), and 10 for $20 special raw oysters (so fresh). And wine, v good. Service was a bit slow and the music playlist was very out of date. Only downsides.

Absolutely delicious food, the server was attentive, and I love the atmosphere. We can hardly wait to go back when we finish with our Island Walk.

Appetizers were great, the baked oysters especially. Would recommend.The sangria was a good price for the size.Disappointed in the meals. The beef was low quality and kinda tasted like wild meat. The lobster role came on a hot dog bun!!! Tasted very processed. Do not recommend.Sat down at 8pm (reservation). We were going to order desert but was advised the kitchen closed at 9pm..... oddly, a table was seated after 9pm and still received food...???

We went here last week after strolling adorable downtown Charlottetown. They couldn't get us in to the main restaurant so we walked around to their patio area 'Next Door'. There was live music and sunshine so we had high hopes however after sitting we were ignored for quite a while, others who came after us were served drinks before we were acknowledged at all. Once we were served, the gin fizz I ordered wasn't at all as described in the menu so I mentioned it and he offered something else. I got a glass of wine instead. After the long delay plus some other mishaps with delivery of our appetizers (raw oysters with underwhelming presentation and scallops with pork belly that weren't gluten free due to the maple whiskey glaze for some reason) we decided to end it there rather than risk further disappointment. There also weren't many gluten free options.We noticed later that they'd charged us for the higher priced gin fizz rather than the wine. A mistake or a grab for more money, either way poor form. Perhaps just bad luck that night but I wouldn't return or recommend.

Loved all the foods!!It was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I'm not a seafood person, but their buttermilk fish sandwich and seafood chowder were marvelous. I would highly recommend this place to others :D

Delicious food and highly recommended. If you are a lover of seafood this is the place for you!!! French fries were home cut and not some bagged fries. The lobster roll had lots of lobster meat but the buttery bun was a tad salty. The staff and service were great. It is a shame that trying to find parking downtown is difficult.

Had a great night here. A beautiful experience sitting at the bar with the fantastic bar service personnel. Steven and Tamera (sorry about the spelling) were absolutely fantastic for the night. Tamera kept us absolutely entertained with her oyster shucking and oyster experience. The food was delicious and we would recommend to anyone. Make reservations though for dinner, or you may have to wait.

Pretty good food, unenthusiastic service and a bit expensive!We had the mussels starter to share first, these were delicious! I loved the addition of fennel and the broth was amazing (I drank it like a soup in the end). However I felt the portion was small for the $17 price in-comparison to other places I’ve been to in PEI and NS, also the mussels themselves were quite small and a bit over cooked.I had the buttermilk fish sandwich with fries for my mains, the fish tasted amazing however there was almost none of it! I ended up having a lettuce and tomato sandwich with a couple of bites of delicious fish in the Center!My boyfriend had the 6 oz steak and rice, the steak was amazing: perfectly seasoned, really flavourful and juicy! However the rice was very plain and I feel for the price they could have added a bit of lemon and olive oil to “dress it up” a bit!Our server was fairly unenthusiastic and even forgot to give us cutlery at the beginning, but I do understand that it was late in the evening (around 8:30) and he seemed to have a lot of tables to manage so I can understand being tired and not being at 100% all the time.
