On our first night in town, we went to Claddagh's. From the outside, the building looked nice but unassuming, so I was surprised to find the inside had an upscale, polished vibe. At first, I thought I should've worn a button-down shirt, but I quickly noticed a mix of attire--some people dressed up, others in shorts--so it felt welcoming and relaxed. We started with oysters, which were absolutely delicious--completely different from the ones I've had in Florida. For my main course, I ordered the special of the day: baked halibut in a jerk sauce, served with Irish mashed potatoes and shrimp. The halibut was cooked perfectly--flaky, buttery, and flavorful. The jerk sauce added just the right amount of kick. The shrimp were tasty too, though I do wish there had been more of them, or at least a bit larger in size. That was really my only complaint. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and the sticky date pudding. Both came out hot, rich, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth good. By the end of the meal, we left happily stuffed and excited to explore more of the fish and shellfish PEI has to offer. Service was excellent--our waitress was efficient, friendly, and refreshingly no-nonsense. I'd highly recommend Claddagh's for anyone looking for a great dinner in a warm, lively atmosphere. read more

Our waiter was patient and helpful. The inside was cozy and quiet. We ordered the PEI mussels to start as well as a cosmo. We have never had mussels before and these were excellent. I had Chianti and hubs had a Malbec with the ribeye. One of the best I have had. It was PEI beef. The mushrooms we added on were buttery and so tender. Fingerling potatoes also PEI were great. That added some broccolini which was a nice surprise. We finished with the creme brûlée and the chocolate peanut butter mouse. Fantastic. The top meal of our trip up the east coast. read more

I enjoyed dinner at Claddagh. While I had spent the day at the Shellfish Festival, I did not think more raw oysters would move the needle so I started with the oysters Rockefeller. I had never had this dish before and really enjoyed them; think French Onion Soup meets oysters. The oysters were (obviously) fresh and it was very tasty. I followed with the lobster; it was also prepared perfectly and easy to eat. I do wish they gave an option for a larger lobster but I probably should have asked. Overall a good evening. read more

Fabulous food. Nice ambiance, personable waitstaff. Highly recommend!!! Have the Lobster risotto, it's divine. read more

Upscale, trendy place but the food is excellent. Very outgoing, youthful staff. Apparently there's an Irish pub downstairs with a patio but we didn't check that out. We both had the lobster risotto and it was yummers! We split an order of the tempura shrimp and it was so good we ordered a second! read more

One of my favorite meals while I was out here. Everything was scrumptious. I highly recommend if you're looking for a nicer dinner out. Service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly and polite. Decor was dark, moody, and cozy. read more

I was quite disappointed in my lobster dinner in PEI. I am really not sure how this place has such high ratings...maybe I just hit them up on a bad night. Service at the bar was initially not super friendly, but being me, I made sure to strike up lots of conversation and then they appeared a little more attentive. I ordered the lobster and what I got was what appeared to be a lobster but the amount of meat in it was more like what a large crawfish would have... it was so strange... I showed the guys behind the bar - they totally agreed... So, as they should... they ordered another one, at no charge and it was just slightly better. I found it to be very weird to have miniature lobster meet in a full size lobster. It wasn't wasn't the best flavor I've had and PEI is supposed to be some of the best lobster around! I was definitely sad and cannot say it was worth me going through PEI... a skip for next time... read more

The food and service were superb! Literally the best dinner we had in the Maritime province. Had to get PEI muscles of course which were great!Served in the lovely broth with toast to soak it up. The highlight was the lobster dinner. Of course, served with hot butter and the most delicious mixed vegetable medley, even including spaghetti squash, mashed potatoes and colored carrots. We also had the halibut which was perfect and came with the same vegetables. The sticky Date cake pudding was superb! Our server was excellent and very helpful. Such a lovely, modern restaurant in a small town. Would give it 6 stars if I could read more

My partner and I LOVE Claddagh. The food and ambiance are so inviting and the service is excellent. We most recently went for Valentine's Day and had the surf and turf. This restaurant's spin is that it's pork belly and scallops and it is TO DIE FOR. The scallops are seared to perfection and the pork belly is so juicy and savory. I also tried the butternut squash risotto for the first time and died from happiness. I highly recommend it! read more

Our accommodation host highly recommended us this place for oysters, mussels and for their food in general, and it was worth it! Our server Josh was amazing and funny and he made us feel extremely welcome in the restaurant. Josh made all of our drinks, and he created the majority of the drinks on the cocktail menu except for a couple. My drink, the West of the Field, was extremely smooth especially for an Old Manhattan drink. We had to get their oysters and their steamed PEI mussels. The oysters were from three different regions of PEI and you could tell the difference between all three. The mussels were delicious and you could tell they were fresh just by how sweet they were and how they melted in your mouth. The broth they were steamed in was delicious as well. The main course arrived and I was blown away by their presentation. The Halibut was cooked to perfection and it melted in my mouth. The peach and lobster relish really complemented the Halibut. The medley of vegetables were delicious and full of flavour! Josh also recommended the sticky date pudding that was made of dates. The pudding was so warm and comforting and you can barely taste the dates, it tasted more like sticky toffee pudding! It was a fantastic evening and dinner and I strongly recommend coming here for their amazing service and meals. Be sure to book reservations in advance as tables can get booked quite quickly. You may be lucky if you can get seats at the bar like us. read more

Best place to eat in Charlottetown! The food is amazing, and service is stellar. We went to a few other highly rated places, but this one by far exceeded our expectations. We had the oysters, surf and turf, and seafood pasta. read more

This is a reliable place to dine out. They found us a table even though we showed up one day early. As an appetizer, we ordered the mussels. They were just okay. The entrees were very satisfying. The service was excellent. To start off, they didn't make us feel stupid for showing up a day early for the reservation and worked hard to figure out how to place us. Another plus in terms of service: my partner ordered a second wine and it took a long time for it to be served. We weren't charged for the second wine. The atmosphere was casual and friendly. read more

Reservations recommended! We walked in, and luckily there were spots at the bar. Great food and better service. We had our server pick out a dozen oysters for us. Lovely! We chose the jerk crab legs and mussels of course. Both were great choices. I've never had better crab legs. They stole the show. Considering the oysters were a must and mussels were in season, the crab legs were the best. It was more of a mild jerk rub but enough to flavor. Definitely a must try. read more

Claddagh Oyster House - Dozen oysters - Seafood Near Me - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Dined here last night. The service from Emma was stellar. The Seafood Chowder will make you weep in that it is insanely delicious. The PEI mussels are salty/sweet with a flavour I have never tasted. The Oysters are tiny with a very dainty taste. My only issue is that my wife and I spent a small fortune here for excellent food and service, but the table was the size of a chess board. Wish we had been afforded a larger table and some elbow room. And they had no local wines. I am a huge fan of wine. I enjoy wines from all over the place, but I greatly appreciate tasting what is made locally. They had no locals. Wine is produced on PEI. read more

Lovely experience this evening at Claddagh. We couldn't decide on a main meal, so we opted to share appetizers. The oysters Rockefeller were outstanding. What a treat! Not often gluten free as these were. We loved the peach burrata salad, delicious flavors with the green and yellow tomatoes but the lack of burrata was disappointing (it was sprinkled on the salad and barely discernible). If you are looking for the traditional large piece of burrata this isn't the salad for you. The mussels were delicious. My husband said the Jerk crab legs were the best he's ever had. Wonderful service in a very pretty environment. Highly recommend! read more

Bridget was a great help in deciding what to eat. She was right about the melt in your mouth steak. I'm 66 and this was the first steak that ACTUALLY melted in my mouth. Lobster dinner was delicious. Colcannon yummy. And the sticky toffee pudding was BOMB. Lovely setting. read more

Love the atmosphere! Food was fantastic and staff were very friendly. The sticky date pudding was amazing!!!

Review for dinner at the bar - we had "The Board" (meats, cheeses, bread, etc.) and that was enough food for a light dinner. The highlight was bartender Joshua and his stories, jokes, etc. In our week split between Halifax and Charlottetown, this was our best meal, hands down! read more

The Claddagh Oyster House has it all: intimate upscale ambiance, great staff and The.Best.Oysters.Ever. While on a bus tour in the Canadian Maritimes, we had a free evening in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Stopped in the COH for a glass of wine and to share an order of Oysters Rockefeller. The OR are the best we have ever had - large, perfectly topped, and flavorful. So good, in fact, that we ordered seconds. We then tried a sampler (2 each of 3 varieties) and they were amazing - plump, flavorful and briny. Our server, Bridgitte, was friendly, attentive and informative and her recommendations ensured that we had an absolutely perfect visit. read more

What a treat! Based on Yelp reviews, we dropped in shortly after the place opened on a Thursday night. Although there were no tables available for another two hours, the hostess invited us to sit at the bar. I was reluctant at first but she urged us to try it. Wow. The bar has only four chairs on each side, providing plenty of elbow room, and the chairs are of normal height. The bar itself is inlaid with various mollusk shells, and you get a great view of what's going on at the bar. I highly recommend sitting there! We started with a dozen oysters, which were great. I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband the French onion oxtail broth soup. Both were absolutely delicious. Our server, who was also the bartender, mixed a great Cosmo and was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We tremendously enjoyed not only the meal but the whole experience. read more

This is a gem in Charlottetown, Nova Scotia!!!! We made reservations on our tour bus for that evening and so very glad we did. It is a small restaurant so you really need to make your reservation early. Katrina, our waitress and bartender made my espresso martini and hubby's LIIT perfectly. We ordered our appetizers: pickled beet salad for me and oysters Rockefeller for him, both fantastic! We also ordered some sour dough bread which was a little charred and Katrina brought us a couple of their cheddar biscuits which she said we HAD to try. She paced our evening so we never felt rushed and enjoyed as much as we could eat and still walk out with our dignity! Hubby's braised short ribs were fork tender and he gave me a bite which would have been my second choice but I decided to go with the salmon which was great. He left a square inch of room left for dessert....sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. I gained 5 pounds just looking at it and another 2 pounds for the taste I had. This is such a charming place to dine and is rated #1 by TripAdvisor as the best restaurant!!!! Absolutely no argument there!!!! read more

was hair in my food and seen a rat running around in the restaurant would not recommend this place to anyone

Excellent service and food quality! The Valentines Day special was one of the best meals I've had in a long time! We started with arancini and carrot soup appetizers, then halibut and surf and turf (scallops and pork belly) entrees finally sticky date pudding and chocolate mousse. The ambiance with limited seating made for perfect intimate dinner with my partner. New renovations are taking place in March, I'll be heading back to experience the result. read more

Great food! Wonderful service. Nice ambiance. We started with 1/2 dozen oysters, 3 different varieties; delicious!!! My husband had lobster boil. I had brick pressed chicken with Irish mash.
