AW, SHUCKS! OYSTER BAR & BISTRO in Aurora

Mediocre at best needs a face lift.

Went here for our friends birthday! Very busy after 10 pm, there was one bartender making drinks. The crowd was a mixture from 19 years old to 50 years old, maybe older. The cover charge after 10 pm is $10. Free parking is good. The dancing space was good. Music eehh. The dj kept playing the same song, and the speakers werent clear. But overall, we had fun. Just wont go back because of the music selection. Need more dance music.

I have just hosted an event. I found the staff worthy of mentioning by name Emily Natalia Victoria and party director Dorie, have worked Beyond expectation. They were there from conception to end.Every detail was thought of before I even knew I needed it. Every one of my guests were truly impressed with the service the food and the atmosphere. If youre planning an event go to Aw shucks Aurora

Good atmosphere, good food,. Disappointed we were told that there were no tables available and through out our stay up untill time we left there were 30% of tables that were empty. You can easily flip tables within 2 hours. Better table seating management would : make happier customers and bring a lot more revenue .

I was there for a Birthday Party and one with my wife of approx 25+ people. The servers were very friendly and accommodating, but I guess with a large group, sometimes orders fall through the cracks and requests can be forgotten, even when reminded.But they are so damned nice its easy to let it go...we did get the extras eventually. I ordered the Mussels and figuring they were a seafood establishment, would be on top of the game. Worst mussels Ive ever had, now this could be an anomaly in all fairness and I should go back to see if they get it right, but Ive never had cold and raw mussels in a tepid-cool/warm sauce. Like someone steamed them earlier in the day anticipating a crowd for a Sat night, put them in the fridge and when serving, took them out, put a hot fresh off the stove-top sauce on them hoping that would finish off the cooking of the mussels.Ramsey would have had a fit. I had them returned and they brought me my dish back eventually. The sauce was hotter, but still only warm, the mussels were warmer, a little more cooked but still raw. Overall not their best or proudest day for mussels. Aw Shucks.... Unfortunately too many Restaurants over-cook mussels. Under-cooked, you can still eat them as long as the sauce is bearable... Later I went to the Bar to order Drinks, and unfortunately the server again was not on her game as she lost track of the queue and didnt think that was her job to keep track.... Man has the profession taken a hit....This place has a lot of potential, as it turns into a music/DJ dance venue.. just needs to work out a few kinks....So, the jury is still out for me but its worth a first time visit...you decide after that....

aw shucks is definitely a hidden gem that seafood lovers must experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for my dinner. The oysters were incredibly fresh, and their cocktail sauce is definitely the best i ve had! Beyond the oysters, the menu includes a fantastic selection. The service was attentive, and our waitress was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations for pairing dishes with drinks. If youre looking for a place with high-quality seafood, great drinks, and a cozy atmosphere, this place should be at the top of your list. I cant wait to return!

EMILY made our night. The food was fantastic, the service 10 stars. Emily made such wonderful suggestions. Had such a wonderful 42nd birthday dinner. Food

We had reservations for a group of 20 people. They knew we were coming. Service was slow. They would not give us individual bills . We had to figure out the bill on our own. Needless to say the last few people were stuck with paying the remainder of the bill. We requested assistance from the acting manager who basically said it was our problem. We had the same group here a few years ago with no issue. Whats the problem with service these days. Never coming back

Service is hit or miss depending on when you go.

Fabulous DJ on Saturday nights with great dance music mix! Nice mixed crowd makes anyone no matter if your in 20s 40s or 70s feel belonging and have a blast! Great dance floor and layout!

I made a reservation for 10ppl for Saturday night. They called me Thursday afternoon to confirm but didnt bother to call today to cancel due to their technical issues so we had to scramble to find another restaurant for 10. Very poor service.

We had a reservation for 10 people and they closed the restaurant for technical difficulties but didnt bother to call us. It was my birthday and my brother drove 2hrs to be there. Absolutely terrible service.

Oysters are great but I also ordered the seafood mix grill and wish I didn t. It was way too dry and flavourless, if I could go back I would just have spent it on the oysters only.

Excellent ambiance on the patio on a warm summer day, excellent food presentation and taste. Best of all an excellent server. Thank you Katerina.

Great food quality and good vibe!

Good and nice

Great experience! Oysters are DELICIOUS! food was incredible. Service was incredible. And we got bottle service after our meal and that was a lot of fun. Definitely recommend this place for big parties and events. Had my birthday there a few weeks ago and it was 25+ people and we had a blast. The year before 45+ people and that was an even better time! Definitely try it out and speak to Chloe (who is amazing) and a shout out to our server Emily, she was amazing!!! Couldn t have asked for better experiences! See you soon aw shucks!

Came for an impromptu lunch date with my husband on a Friday afternoon. Service was wonderful and food was perfect. My favourite was the amaretto sour perfectly mixed!

Its usually an ok night out on Saturdays!

I love this place and the new location. There is parking in the back and the service is very friendly and attentive. The drinks and oysters are on point. Will definitely return.

Great food and location along with a good crowd on Saturday evenings for dancing.

Food was ok, oysters were very fresh but a little expensive. Service was excellent and the interior was very nice and spotlessly clean.

I went to a special event at The Rose Gallery. I was with people I d never met before but there was a consensus that everyone wanted a drink and. One wanted dinner. Since I am from Aurora I suggested Awe Shucks a few doors down from the gallery. There were thirteen persons. The sever was immediately concerned about the number of persons and suggested we sit in the other side of the room. After obliging her wishes we were told that the it would be one bill and 20% service fee. The only connection this group of people had was that we came from a public event. We decided to split ourselves into two groups. So that we did not have to share a bill. Then the server came back and said you can t split yourselves up, even though she told us that the maximum in a group is 8 persons. She said it was the manager who told her this. A person in the group asked to speak to manager. He came and hotly said what s going on? . We explained the situation and told him we didn t really know each other. Then he said, don t worry I ll see what I can do . After walking away someone in the group said, but you are the manager . It was at this point that he turned around and scolded the group by saying, I don t like your attitude, if you don t want to be here leave. We all sat there stunned at his lack of professionalism and courtesy. It was at this point that everyone got up and left. No one was being rude in the group and as customers we have the right to make requests especially when we are paying way more than what we use to in the past. I feel bad that I suggested Awe Shucks I never had a problem when I to frequented this restaurant in the past. I m sorry the service has evolved into what it is.

Had a wonderful time with family here. Food was fantastic, service was on point, drinks were fantastic

Horrible bar serilvice

My daughter had a very special wedding here in May. It was a great time. The food, service and the atmosphere were perfect. Im so happy that I had the idea of celebrating at Aw Shucks.

Cool restaurant. Great food. Great service. Tasteless music, old, 50 years ago. Well, it sucks. With the right approach from the restaurateur, I would make a new discotheque HAUS MUSIC on the first and second floors. Play DJ DARK music. ... And there will be crazy attendance.

Isabella was an absolute rock star! She was polite but a bit chippy which made the experience genuine and super fun! Her Italian roots surely played a fundamental role in interacting with our group of European background. If I opened a restaurant or bar I would be head hunting for this gem! Hold on to her as she is a great asset to your great business.

Overall pretty chill

I just held my baby shower at Aw Shucks for about 40 of my closest friends and family. The venue was absolutely FANTASIC. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was AMAZING, I had lots of great feedback from my friends and family about how great the food was, and the overall at atmosphere was super. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for any type of event you are looking for or even just a night out for a great dinner. Huge thank you to the Aw Shucks team for making my baby shower so memorable! KS

We were really looking forward to returning to Aw Shucks. Todays experience was such a disappointment. Oyster Rockefellers were missing flavour, my daughters burger was missing bacon, and my husbands burger was overcooked. We didnt even bother to get our orders corrected for fear service would take even longer than it already had. It took nearly 20 minutes for a server to take our order and 30 minutes for us to get a servers attention to get the bill. We wont be returning.

Went to one of Aurora few original gems and wow what an experience. Chloe made it a night to remember with her fantastic pairing suggestions, even with how busy it was they kept their energy on point and I cant wait to go back to try the surf and turf !

Food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is awesome. Sat on the roof and would happily return every weekend. The whole staff was great and our server Alex was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable on the entire menu. He recommended the sweet island kiss oysters and the spicy tomato mussels which were absolutely fantastic and he even split our shared entree into two plates. Overall I would definitely recommend aw shucks for anyone trying to have a great night out.

My husband and I came for dinner last night and we enjoyed the food and ambiance very much. The oysters were all fresh and delicious (we liked the sweet island kiss variety best) and the mussels and vodka pasta were both great too. We ate on the rooftop patio and honestly it was giving King street in Aurora iykyk. They also have live music and dancing (Saturday nights). Will definitely be back!

Old school songs

Food was good! but OMG. Who Is The DJ?! Music was horrible! They need better DJ! That place also needs better ventilation! It was muggy, hot and poor quality air!

Very, very, very tasty food, great atmosphere. Patio is great. Fast service and great food presentation. Parking: Lots of free parking during the day

Aw, Shuck - Nightlife Experience Aw, Shuck in Aurora offers a nightlife experience that caters to a more mature and young adult, making it a standout spot for a sophisticated evening out. While I haven t had the chance to try their food yet, I can vouch for the lively and enjoyable nightlife atmosphere. The cover charge is a reasonable $10, and the friendly security staff contribute to a welcoming and safe environment. The venue boasts plenty of space, allowing guests to move around comfortably and enjoy the ambiance without feeling cramped. One of the most convenient aspects of Aw, Shuck is the ability to use your debit card at the bar, a feature that sets it apart from many other nightlife spots that often require cash payments. This makes ordering drinks straightforward and hassle-free. The music selection is diverse, featuring a good variety of everything to keep everyone entertained throughout the night. Whether you re into classic hits or the latest tracks, there s something to suit every musical taste. So next time you re considering a visit for a meal, be sure to stay for the after-party. Aw, Shuck provides an enjoyable and mature nightlife experience that s definitely worth checking out.

Great place for a wedding!

Went to Awshucks on a Saturday night, waited over half and hour for a drink; to be served with attitude. Very rude bartenders. Their drinks taste watered down, and brought it to their attention I was given attitude, I had the intention & willing to re buy another drink. After that encounter I left and will never return to this establishment. Ive only been here two times and I will take my business else where.

Please beware! If you go off the menu that is on their actual website it apparently is not accurate. You won t find out until your bill comes. My friend was charged $23! For a ceasar a basic ceasar. When question about the price and showing them on the website they claim the prices changed as of the weekend. Manager charges Toronto prices when dining in Aurora. Oysters are good but make sure you know what you re paying before ordering anything.

Very nice place but wow. Took 15min to get a menu and 1hr to even have the HOPE of getting our food- we had to run out to catch a show we would have been late for. Had to come back afterwards to get our room temperature left overs. Then made to wait over 20min waiting for the manager to pull a disappearing act. A free piece of rancid cheese cake was what they compted. Hahahah what a joke

One hour wait for a salad with salmon. Salmon was disgusting. Service terrible. Manager hides when you want to complain. Will never see me again. Take your business elsewhere.

Great food. Unfriendly and inattentive service. Never again. Not worth it!

We went for lunch today. Sat on the patio and had a wonderful experience. Our server Victoria couldnt have been better. She was sweet, kind, turned on the heaters for us, made us laugh. Incredible experience!!!! Food was delicious and the margaritas were perfect!!

Just an amazing place all way round!

A 1 service and food

Great place to celebrate and dance. Great service and atmosphere

Great food

We went for a drink late Friday night. Good vibes.

Rated 1 star due to the lack of service received last night with my young family (wife, 4 month old girl, 4 year old girl) everything started well, no need for reservation for 5:30 dinner due to young children, reception was good, drinks were ordered fine except no option for children cups with lids which is not uncommon. It all went down hill when our entrees came with a sworm of what appeared to be fruit flies or some other pesty small size fly. We tried to tolerate them as best as possible but they kept coming (mind you we are eating inside near the kitchen). My young girl started freaking out and could not eat her dinner due to these constant pests diving into our plates. My baby was also having them fly onto her car seat and inside her cover. After many servers walked by us as we were also close to the bar, no one decided to stop and ask if we were ok while we kept swapping these flys away until I had enough and asked for the manager. He came and apologized and said they seem to be coming from a big old sign they have near the bar and said they would move us to a table a few sections down and bring our infested food over to us. At this point we just wanted to ensure we ate as much as we can even though some flies were still coming at us due to being on our food and all over are belongings and my daughters car seat so we ate what we could baring the situation asked for a price of chocolate cake as wanted my daughter to take her mind off the experience. Than we waited some time for our server to check back in with us and with small children on schedules we typically like to check out after eating. No one came so I had seen the manager standing nearby and had asked him politely if he could arrange the check. Our server came to the table with the check and no discount or even a price of cake on the house for the negative experience. We have lived in Aurora for 2 years and enjoy the various restaurants nearby and have visited this place many times and even ordered takeout without any issues. We left last night extremely disappointed and will not return our refer anyone here as we did in the past.

Great place to spend the night if you are looking for a DJ and club vibe. It s a very mixed crowd of old and young and is a pickup bar. But the music is good and people are friendly so you can always have a good time.

I had my 55th birthday celebrations there last night. It was a huge success! We had dinner reservations for 20 guests and more guests met up for the after party. Chloe Z. was phenomenal in organizing my evening. She was very attentive, patient and professional via email communications back and forth the weeks prior. Other than our dinner starting late, I have no other complaints. It was great to have family and friends ranging from age 23-63 all together enjoying good food, good friends and laughter all at the same venue!! Thank you Aw Shucks and Chloe for making my celebrations memorable.

Food was amazing but the service was absolutely terrible. We waited for forever for our plates to be cleared. No one came to refill our water or handle us at all after our food was served. We had to to walk up to get desert and our bill. Our server was a nice guy but this place is clearly understaffed. We expect better for the money we are paying.

The waitress was so serious. We didn t feel comfortable. When you go to a restaurant you want hospitality and friendly attitude from waiters. The other girls were so kind but unfortunately this girl wasn t kind.

Amazing evening with friends

Very enjoyable time. Food was great. I had the Seafood Linguine and they were very generous with all the seafood especially the mussles.

Clubhouse sandwich and the salmon and the Ceasar Salad was excellent. Food tends to be spicy but lots of flavor. Very nice staff but found it was slow service. Parking: You have to enter the restaurant from the back where the parking lot is.

I always have great time here. Great atmosphere, safe, nice people and good music.

Excellent service, top-notch food and at a good price

Good food, nice staff. Definitely going back!!

Kind of a weird vibe. Under staffed. Food was ok. Bartender was dressed in sweatpants.

Great cocktail options. The music band is superb if you re looking for a weekend dinner and drinks. The food is also pretty delicious and comes in big portions.

Good food and service

Absolutely recommend! Great atmosphere, delicious food and attentive staff.

The food is good, the oysters are great. I do wish they had more gluten free options..... HOWEVER; the chef was willing to accommodate to gluten free - which is AMAZING. We were offered zucchini noodles and other options in order to cater to our needs. For this very reason, I will be a returning customer. (I was also told they hope to revamp their menu and hopefully add a few gluten free options!) I only gave 4 stars because often the communication gets lost somewhere, and I have on more then one occasion magically not had a reservation.

Negative -1 Star is my actual rating! This restaurant has the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. Don t dare complain to a manager or the even the kitchen manager because it will be instantly be your fault. These people clearly do not know how to manage a business. Be careful here . I feel bad for the owner of this business the rude arrogant management will ruin this business. I will personally go out of my way to tell everyone the story of how I was treated at this establishment. If there was ever a business that needs to take a Dale Carnegie course it s the management at this restaurant.

We dined here with a group. The entire table got their appetizers and main courses before two guests in our group. The server kept promising it would be out soon. Our reservation was at 8:00 and finally the two guests with missing meals got them at 10:30. The kicker? They ordered salmon. Probably one of the most simple dishes on the menu and absolutely no reason why our entire group should have been served and they were left waiting long after everyone had finished eating. Management was not sympathetic, was rude and did nothing to help solve the issue. Somehow it was our fault that they didn t get their meal?? If I could give negative stars, I would. We won t be back.

I gotta say this is a fun place. It s not downtown TO, but it has a DT vibe! Been coming here for years.

Horrible. It used to be fun. live music and decent food. Now it s a dejay with music that doesn t know who it s trying to cater to. The staff are surly and the bartenders try to rip you off. It s a sad place for sad people.

No longer the same ! Too bad ! Dear owner bring Chef Alex back! He made the best dishes and since he left the kitchen really sucks! You went from 5 stars to three... This was my review when Chef Alex was around: I love this place! Hands down my favorite restaurant in the city... Great service but even greater food! Absolutely mouth watering lobster tail and to die for grilled salmon! Grilled to perfection ...the chef deserves an award....over and over again Alex has proved to be an outstanding chef. He knows what to with every dish to make it taste so much better highly recommend this place for the seafood, oysters and steak!

So disappointed. Some of the food was overcooked and some raw. The only good food that was good was the oysters. Was not treated properly with respect to seating, even though we had a reservation It was my birthday dinner and not even acknowledged. Not going back.

Five star, all around. No complaints. Serving sizes are amazing! Normally, I can eat ALOT! All I had was the butternut squash soup and the Salmon (highly recommend both). I was stuffed and very satisfied. I was also surprised at how fast the food came. We had a group of 10 and our server did a great job of keeping up!

The food was delicious, the price was average normal. The dance night was crowded, and a lot of young guys. No dress code. Food

Loved the place, food was good, fast and kind service, affordable prices, close parking. Recommended.

Atmosphere was very warm and inviting.....the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable....food was very tasty and enjoyable....would definitely return

Great resturant, fresh oysters and big food portions. They can give you a sample of soup or drink for you to try before ordering which was great.Amazing food and very tasty. Quiet during the day and becomes lively in the evening as the restaurant turns i to night club during weekend. Would definitely go back there.

Fantastic Martinis. Fun music Great Staff. Cover at the door for Entertainment. Parking: 100

First time going with a friend of mine, we were craving and wanted to splurge a bit. Warm, friendly atmosphere, GREAT , knowledgeable attentive service , convenient location with lots of parking. The food, was AMAZING ! We ordered the seafood platter, and we were blown away! Fresh, flavourful & SOSO worth it! Cocktail menu is great, espresso martini is a must! Will definitely return for the stop experience !

Great atmosphere, only went for drinks and dancing but it was a great experience, good music and decent crowd. Staff and security were friendly and professional.. next time we will start our night there.

So fun, the DJ is awesome...staff are so friendly and engage you in conversation...go dance your face off!

Very good place. We had a birthday party there and a lot of appetizers. The food was great and the drinks are well sized. At 10 pm the dance floor open and it was a lot of fun. Great place. I never give a 5 star rating. Well done. Food : 5/5

It s one of the best bar on Aurora area , also club on Saturday night .

Delicious food. Good for older crowd.

gorgeous space, love the patio choices, amazing food and staff fun dancing and great djs and bands and themes

Untrained staff, ok food

Weve given this restaurant our business a few times, and recently we tried to book a party and no one got back to us, after several calls and emails. Clearly, they dont need the business.

I stopped by on my birthday, which happened to come up in conversation and they treated me like a queen. Even before they found out everything was wonderful from the food to the conversation with the bartender and servers/hosts. I ve worked at an oyster house myself so I know a bit about the industry, and everything was wonderful.

One of the better restaurants in the Newmarket/Aurora area

Good food, but expensive. Very friendly service and great music!

Great restaurant, tasty food and nice atmosphere, good DJ and party on Friday and Saturday nights

More than just great music on Saturday... Good food, good service, nice vibe.

My friend and I drove in from Kitchener and St Catherines for a Saturday night with Dj Delirious. The music was great! The dj killed it all night. And the biggest shout out to the security guard Andre. Give that man a raise! It was our first time coming here and he was so on top of everything, making sure we were ok all night. Had a run in with a creep and he escorted us to the door and watched us walk to our car, making sure that guy wasnt following us. Top notch security! He truly cares about the people that come here to have a good time and keeps us safe. We will definitely be back! Andre alone made our experience extremely enjoyable.

Overpriced for what you get

Great time celebrating the live music and DJ on Saturday evenings. The Penne Alla Vodka particularly hits the spot very rich in taste.

Nice place to dine from time to time The burger is absolutely delicious Love the bruschetta as well the Chardonnay (wine) was very good with the oysters My husband and I we went for 7 pm And the service was very fast and good The waitress Isabella was very attentive and not pushy. Good experience for the first time at this restaurant. For sure I will return. There are some other things in the menu that I will like to try.

The Best place in the world to have a party and Im not exaggerating. From the planning the schedule and menu with Ange and Alex to the service to the servers Chloe and Bella was perfect. The food was freshly made and delicious. The servers were quick to satisfy any requests and recognized any and all guest requirements. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday event.

Delicious oysters, nice atmosphere, great service. Menu needs GF options like pasta & pizza, that would make it 5/5! Updated 7.2.23 Menu same, had Creole Snapper it was delicious!

Very tasty and friendly staff!

Parking: Parking at the back Food

Oysters gave me vomiting and diarrhea. Service was very slow

Delicious. Get the chicken Parmesan. Its the best.

The place is hit and miss. The food is consistently very good and the prices are reasonable for what you get. The staff is a random card. Sometimes theyre great, other times they are so bad you want to walk out. It is best to call ahead if you like to sit in the bar area as it too is randomly so busy you cant get a seat.

The oysters are really good!

Went with my wife for a special occasion. We were seated near a party of 12 or so. From the start we waited 20 minutes for a menu. Then another 10 for water. Waiter treated us like an afterthought. Food was OK but was cool, not cold. Waiter never came back to ask us how our food was but served the large party hand and foot. Had to wait for the bill. Never came. We had to go to the front desk to pay. Not surprisingly, left no tip. Been going to restaurants for over 45 years and that we easily in the top 3 worst dining experiences. It was the first and last time I go to this restaurant. Brutal

Great food! And we would have ordered more if our server was more prompt. Staff were super friendly and polite, but very slow (even on a quiet evening). Felt like we waited very long between drinks, food, and even the bill. That s the only reason I took away a star. The overall atmosphere of the place was awesome though! Decor, music, ambiance in general. Two patios! The restaurant was clean, but bathrooms could be a little cleaner and updated or decorated. We will definitely be back for the food, especially for all the options of oysters and seafood. Yum! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available, but didn t feel like a kid environment. Kids eat free Sundays with purchase of adult main.

Went here for oysters, freshly shucked, received 4 rotten ones which is dangerous. They were replaced and received another off oyster from that 4. It was not busy, I don t know how a chef could miss this unless they are preshucked. Oysters that are off, are one of the most deadly foods on the planet. Do not order oysters here. The sevice was good, calamari was fabulous. I am just very unimpressed that a restaurant that boasts that they serve oysters would allow 5 rotten off oysters to even leave the kitchen. Smell every fresh oyster before you eat them here!

there was a hair in my calamari 0/10

Club night is a must Absolute birds served me and it was a great experience Food : 5/5

Loved this place so much we have been back for another visit. Great food, service and atmosphere!

Cant say anything about the food, as they close the kitchen pretty early, in contrast to other places where you can still order appetizers while drinking and dancing. The atmosphere is ok, but the dj is inconsistent. The first time I went there was a variety of music, the second... only a few songs of my liking here and there, stayed only for one hour because there was no place to sit, nothing to eat, and the music was not great either...

This place is amazing but the food needs to improve. The PEI mussel was to dry and tiny. The seafood mix grill everything was way over cooked.

Pretty boring place lots of music, no people, no dancing. Everyone just sits at bar

Fun spot. Good range of oysters and the added options to enjoy different cooked preparations is a nice throwback.

Honestly the food was amazing. High quality but also high priced. It has a restaurant feel during the day and during the nights it changes to a club feel.

Fabulous oysters, fresh, fresh!!! Portions are generous! Wait staff amazing. ! Parking: Street parking!

Great space, service and wonderful taste and presentation

Rooftop patio closed on a beautiful day . Seems like missed opportunity. But then tried to order. Even walked up to the waitress and ordered- response- our technology isn t working, I will be right out- never came Heard another worker tell her to use her phone- didn t want to do that Not sure why you need technology to walk up to the bar to repeat our order- but it seemed like an insurmountable task- so we left. Too bad.

We had our engagement party here. It was an all around amazing experience. Staff were super helpful and caring, food was delicious, and the rooftop patio was gorgeous.

Highly recommended.

Horrible experience!!! My colleague was moving, and she wanted to get together for a night out before she left. I recommended Aw Shucks because I d been there in the past for meals and oysters, and it had a good vibe. She called and asked to reserve a table for approximately 10-15 people, and was told she would have to commit to 500 dollars worth of food and drinks. What kind of restaurant demands the clients spend a certain amount of money??? She decided not to reserve, but got there early and managed to get 2 tables near the dance floor for our group. At that point there were 10 of us. We ALL ordered meals and drinks, and everyone was having a great time and dancing after our meals. Later on in the evening, the security guard came by and told us we had to leave our tables and go elsewhere in the club because the tables were now reserved for bottle service . At no time before we were seated were we told that later on we would have to leave our tables. We had easily spent over 500 on our meals and drinks anyways, and they still made us leave our tables and we had to squeeze around 1 small table near the bar area. By that time there were about 13 of us, so most of us just left. Ridiculous customer service!! If they want to act like some upscale Toronto club, then have tables set aside for bottle service only!!!!

I came here with my parents for dinner; we got raspberry point oysters, seafood linguini, lobster fettuccine, and seafood mix grill. The food was high quality and came in generous portions. Staff were friendly and prompt, and the lower rooftop patio was very clean and enjoyable to spend time in. This my new favourite seafood restaurant in the area!

The food was amazing. Ordered the fried calamari and the mussels. Done very well! Placed was short staffed but we were still taken care of in a reasonable amount of time due to this. Angelina and Christian were amazing. Smiles on their faces and professional. Been to a few restaurants since the pandemic and the attitudes and professionalism were horrible. This was the case here! Thank you!!!

A cute local find that offers a fantastic variety of seafood that was cooked wonderfully. There was 4 of us dining in, ready and eager to fill our empty hungry stomachs. We started off with two dozen oysters of assorted varieties and their lobster and seafood chowder. I have to say, if you gave us a pot of this soup with a full size baguette, we still would have walked out of there happy. Our main dishes consisted of the mix grill, fish tacos, lobster ravioli and the spicy tomato steamed mussels. The table got very quiet, very quickly...it was delicious! The only item on one plate that was less than desirable was a small piece of fish that didnt quite appeal to anyones pallette. Not sure what kind it was but it was definitely NOT the salmon because the salmon was great. Lets talk service. Sadly this is where the restaurant fell short. By the time we received our meals, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Granted it was a Sunday evening but given the circumstances, we could not quite understand why we had to flag down the waiter every time we needed something. He was friendly and polite. He was accurate and impressive with his ordering skills but just wasnt attentive. The restaurant itself was simple and comfortable. Well lit, linen tablecloths and very clean... EXCEPT the womans restroom. The floor was wet with discolored liquid due to a leak in the ceiling. Not sure how recent this was but definitely something that needs addressing. Thankfully I went after my meal and not before or during. Overall, the food will definitely bring us back and hopefully the minor issues are improved.

I love the ambiance here. I decided to take my mom out for a nice dinner and I m glad we chose Aw Shucks. Excellent service, delicious food.

Absolutely delicious food. All 4 types of oyster were perfectly shucked and nicely presented. Lobster ravioli was excellent. Fish tacos were amazing. Mixed seafood grill was a pleasant surprise with even the salmon being tasty. The only let down was the service. With only 2 people at the bar, I wouldnt expect to wait 10 minutes for bread, 15 for a Caesar and then another 10 minutes for a mojito. At least the wait staff were friendly.

I really enjoyed this place. The food was great. The service was very good. They had a video dance party (Saturday night), which brought out a great vibe. The dress code is casual, I definitely will be back!!!

Had an absolutely amazing lunch! Our waitress was awesome and made my sister s bday a little extra special. Gave atmosphere 3 stars only bc a couple flies were at our table, landing on our food and we ate inside!

Do not order the seafood player for 2 if your hungry. Our server said it would be too much food for us, but we found it barely adequate. Disappointing experience.

Very nice people and the food is great

The food and the service was great definitely be back again the service was super friendly and informative.

Beyond disappointed. Manager is rude and staff are undertrained.

To all the staff at Aw, Shucks! Thank you for your hospitality, accomodation and your friendly services for making this special event an enjoyable and fun evening. Exceeded expectations. Great choices of menu. Delicious food. My guests were happy with it. We love to come back again for another event with food and dancing the night away. Love your DJ !!! Thank you again, Alex (manager) staff Victoria and Maddison. For a place of events and a small party, I highly recommend this place !!!

Amazing atmosphere but too crowded and waited too long for my drinks from the bartender. I would go again though.

Everything was just perfect!!!

Surprised with quality and taste

A great place to celebrate a birthday and to dance afterwards.

Very fun and interesting place )I liked it

Great customer service, staff is very pleasant and attentive, main course was delicious, a bit disappointed with the oysters, very small, everything else was great

Great food

Super delicious finger food!!!

All and all a fun time on weekends. I dont recommend the steak here though

The food was awesome and not expensive. Had the chicken parmigiana with pasta. So good and a really big plate. Not stingy at all. Dancing was awesome in the other side. My new fav spot.
