My daughter and I visited Charlottetown recently and dined in a few restaurants, and had very high expectations with all the fresh seafood options in the area but were disappointed with our dinner meals. We asked our hotel to recommend something great for our last night and they suggested Claddagh Oyster House. We immediately loved it. The atmosphere was relaxing... More

This is a great restaurant - a modern decor, great food. The oysters and lamb as well as the scallops and shrimp were outstanding. Service was friendly and for the quality of the food quite quick. The prices are quite high for PEI but the food was outstanding. Presentation of food was very attractive.

I admit, am squeamish about trying oyster - had halibut! Was pretty good! Very generous portions, and superb service. Ambience, frankly, could be better, though ... Those whom I had gone with tried oysters though, and were delighted by them. A fine dining experience!

On my first visit to Charlottetown, my friend recommended we visit the Lobster-On-The-Wharf that one of his friends had recommended even though a quick check on this site revealed nothing exceptional about it. Claddagh Oyster House was listed as #1 and that is how we ended up here on a cool spring evening. “There is no sincerer love than the... More

The food is fine but nothing special. Oysters are sold in plates of 5 and 10 rather than the usual half-dozen or dozen, which seems a bit of a cheat. In addition to the oysters I had the caesar salad and it was the smallest $12 salad I've ever had in a restaurant. This was my second visit and while... More

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...
