Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bar Clams offers an "exceptional experience" with standout service and a vibrant east coast ambience. The fresh seafood, particularly the "crab dip" and "oysters," receives rave reviews. While some find the prices high, the quality and creativity of dishes like the "donairs" and "lobster bisque" shine. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere complete this delightful dining spot.

    Food and service was fantastic! But I’m gutted that they took the Lobster Bisque and Crab Dip off the menu…..those were my favourite dishes in Toronto!!!

    Hi Eliza, Thank you so much for the lovely review - we're so glad you enjoyed both the food and service! The Lobster Bisque and Crab Dip were beloved favourites, and we’re flattered to hear they were at the top of your list in Toronto! As we lean into seasonality with our new menu, we’ve made space for some fresh additions, but you can expect more lobster options and features returning in the summer. If you'd like, we’re happy to let you know when we’re running any special lobster or crab features - just drop us a line at reservations@barclams.ca, and we’ll keep you in the loop! Hope to see you again soon, Bar Clams Team

    Great service, mediocre and overpriced food. Crab dip was oversalted and lacked real flavour. Grilled cheese was small and very plain. Calamari special was also very salty, but the Big Mac-esque dipping sauce was good. The sundae was fun and decently worth it. Overall would not recommend and would not return.

    Great first visit to Bar Clams! Went for the Monday Happy Hour $2 shucks and also tried the Crab Dip and Lemon Meringue Pie. Loved the food, pie was incredible. I had a really tasty seasonal variation on their sweet tea and my friend had a yummy dirty martini which came with extra brine. Hope to go back and try more soon. Thanks to the team for such a warm welcome!

    Justin was a really fantastic host & was super attentive. The interior was beautiful & gave great east coast vibes. The food was good but was surprised to be served a saltine cracker with a $32 crab dip. Overall it was a lovely experience but was much pricer compared to similar experiences in the city.

    This was so good. I had a great spot at the counter. The chowder was excellent, the pat of butter made it perfect. The donairs were so well executed and actually great value. Nice little mustard pickle too. 15/10. My server was attentive he gave me space but was always aware of me. Just go to Bar Clams again and again.
