New Oyster Bar in Kits
By cocoeater of vancouver (288 Reviews)
Submitted Monday, February 27, 2012 - 10:43am [Dine in]

Newly opened (about 2 months) Oyster Bar in Kits, on Yew, 2-3 blocks up from Kits Beach. Went here on a weekend and arrived early as they have a daily oyster special from 4-7pm. Good thing as the bigger tables fill up fast. They had the Fanny Bays for $1.50 and it was very good. Comes with 3 types of sauces plus your usual hot sauce. The restaurant has a nice open feel about it and divided into the lower area where the open kitchen is and the upper area where the bar and oyster bar is. Bar seating is available and probably for 2 people, the preferred spots. The waiters/managers running the place seemed familiar as they all worked at Rodney's. Also tried the pan fried oysters - very good, fried okra - good, steamed mussels with andouille sausage - very good, grits - just Ok, fried chicken - very juicy and a bit on the sweet side, and jambalaya - average. Overaall the appies/mains/sides were very good, a nice selection done very well. We then tried all 3 desserts, bread pudding - good, chocolate cake - good but the best were the beinets (creole style donuts) which came with a caramel/coffee sauce. They were the best. Service was very friendly but at times hectic as the restaurant is very busy. Prices are resonable with the mains in the mid to high teens, oysters (non special) at $3 each, desserts at about $6-7. Would come back for sure.
