| Malpeque oysters @Oystermine |
Hubby and I love oysters and, in the past few years, the
girls have acquired the love for these as well. So, for a special occasion we
were celebrating for DD#1, her request for oysters was granted. I searched for
an oyster place which still offered a Buck a Shuck on the day we were going out
for dinner. I found Oyster Mine in mid-town Yonge and Eglinton and made our
reservation. I actually called an hour before our reservation to pre-order the
seafood paella (Grandma’s favourite) which was supposed to take 45 minutes. I
was hoping they would have it ready shortly after we arrived.
We ordered our cocktails and mocktails (as drinks needed to
be ordered to avail of the $1 oysters) along with Malpeque oysters. The oysters
were on the smallish side, under 3inches, but were fresh and delicious. DD#1
was especially happy at having as many oysters as she wanted – we ended up
sharing 50!

The paella, however, arrived 45 minutes after we arrived
(when I reconfirmed my pre-order) so it was practically like I didn’t pre-order
at all. While it was not the traditional paella, it was tasty and we all
enjoyed it.
Overall service was good. However, do keep in mind that they
do take a deposit for reservation and include an automatic 20% service charge
(for groups of 5 or more).
