Highly recommend the four course meal! The chef comes out to speak to you to discover likes and dislikes to create an exciting experience for you and you will not be let down! The service was the best we ever had. Lisa was an absolute pleasure and was as amazing as every bite of food that we put in our... More

Do yourself a favor and try the tasting menu. One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Our first course was a sample of different types of oysters (the raw one was my favorite, a taste of the ocean in one bite!) Our 2nd course consisted of a decadent lobster risotto and pork belly. Our 3rd course was... More

I certainly agree with dialit's positive review of the rack of lamb. A great entree, preceded by the roasted oyster appetizer. Not a cheap meal ($32 for the lamb; $12 for the appetizer), but what sets this place apart is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They know their island, their town, and their menu, with great suggestions in... More

We planned a spontaneous trip to PEI and relied on TripAdvisor to give us a great time - and that it did! Claddagh was a true dining experience from the minute we sat down. Lisa, our waitress, was so pleasant and cheerful, and Tyler who prepared our meal really went above and beyond his culinary duties! We decided to try... More

Was asked to recommend a restaurant for supper for some out-of-town colleagues. I am new to Charlottetown myself, so have limited experience with the local restaurants. But I have long ago come to highly value (and trust) the reviews on Tripadvisor, and especially since they were longing to try some local seafood, I recommended Claddagh Oyster House. And I am...

I travel to Charlottetown on business and have eaten at the the Claddagh Oyster House on three occasions in the past four months and have never been disappointed. They have put a rack of lamb on the menu recently and it is "to die for". I was so impressed that the last time I was there I asked the chefs... More

While we had heard many positive things said about this restaurant we had never been there, so wanted to try it out. We are innkeepers in the city and our guests ask us for recommendations daily. We see every guest the next day at breakfast so we take our recommendations very seriously. This restaurant delivered on taste, presentation and selection.... More

Chef Mitchell prepared a fantastic tasting menu for us for just $45/person.....oysters, shrimp, scallop, pork belly, beef tenderloin, lamb and 5 incredible desserts! The waitress, Cathy was so friendly and helpful....turned out to be a very talented artist and... More

Last time I was in PEI, I was underwhelmed with the quality of restaurants. On this recent trip, my opinion changed. Our group of four ventured through the blustery weather to enjoy a truly fabulous meal. I understand one family owns both the Oyster House and the pub upstairs and it is evident there is a lot of cohesion amongst... More

We recently went to the Claddagh Oyster House for a date night out. The food was amazing. We had the shrimp appetizer which wassooo flavorful and delish! The steak was done to PERFECTION. The service was fantastic too. I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this restaurant for a fine dining experience.
