Reinventing the seafood experience is a challenge, even in Toronto. While not an oceanside town, the city does have its fair share of oyster houses and seafood restaurants.
The Chase Hospitality Group, led by executive chef Micheal Steh and founder Steven Salm, believed they could take things further and redefine what Toronto’s seafood experience could and should be. “We didn’t feel there was a good representation of a true oyster house in the city in the way that we’ve experienced it in other places, especially coastal cities,” says Michael.
Their dream was to combine an oyster house with a premiere dining destination based around seafood, and add all the elements of a very social environment. Located in the historic Dineen Building at Yonge and Temperance, The Chase Fish & Oyster is the result of their vision.
When the crew at The Chase Fish & Oyster creates their seasonal menu they take inspiration from the Maritimes. The menu is packed with fresh seafood and is designed for sharing. The seafood theme makes its way into the décor, which can be described as beach house chic.
