Good, fresh seafood. Many people were there for the oysters and it was a good deal indeed. Was looking for some lobster so had the steamed Atlantic lobster. It was very fresh but slightly bland. Ordered the Caesar salad and PD fries as well. Both were average. The vibe of the restaurant was very nice and cozy. Looks like a great place for dinner with friends and loved ones. Very packed and we were lucky to get a table at the bar as we went early. Definitely gotta make reservations if you plan on visiting.
Still my favourite oyster bar in Toronto. It's managed to maintain its level of quality fresh food with an authentic, unpretentious atmosphere. Very decent prices compared to its overinflated counterparts across the city. Pearl Diver is the best place for a low key cozy hangout with friends over fresh seafood and bubbly!
The dining room is much smaller than I expected. We dined in on a random Tuesday night at 9:00pm and it was still full! Reservations are a must. We got the daily special which was the seafood tower, and it was delicious, especially the mussels and snow crab legs which were especially sweet. We also ordered the clam chowder which was good, but not very traditional. The fish and chips were excellent because the fish was flakey and very mild. Vegetarian options: Four main dishes that were specifically vegetarian
So so so good! We ordered lobsters and veggies - both buttery and tasty. Service was very quick and friendly. Atmosphere was so lively and a nice view of the street from the front section of the restaurant. Can't wait to come back for oysters!
It’s been a few years since I came here for the 100 Oyster for $100. Glad to see price hasn’t changed. We ordered calamari, fries and sardine on top of that. Everything was delicious and the wait staff were attentive. Like people mentioned there a 18% service charge to protect staff against discriminatory tipping practice. I find that fair, the service was good enough to deserve that. On top of that, they shucked 100 oysters on an incredibly busy night.
Five of us went in for their 100 for 100 Thursday deal and we can’t wait to go back. The oysters are freshly prepared to order. Other dishes from the kitchen tasted excellent and are very decently priced. We were seated at the bar so we got to chat with the shucker named Andrew. He was super friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Overall 10/10 experience. Highly recommended
Cozy and nice seafood restaurant. Fresh oysters bar. Great customer service. The young female server was very friendly and attentive. She checked on us few times during our meal. Loved the sea bream & mussels. Food was amazing! Yummy! Will come back to try their 100/100 Oysters some day!
Are you on a see food diet or seafood diet? Well, I was surely on a seafood diet last week as I feasted on these yummy oysters, mackerel and sardines! Pearl diver located in Adelaide St. Toronto serves great seafood if you didn’t know already. They have a pub type setting with their specialty being seafood and variety of beer. We tried their Malpeque oysters from the happy hour menu that runs between 4-6 along with Korean style mackerel, and grilled sardines. My favourite was the Mackerel. Everything was SO good about this dish. I would also recommend trying their British Pub Ale beer - tastes so good with the seafood. If you’re looking for a good seafood place in downtown, this is a spot you should definitely try out!
Fantastic food. Excellent service and charming ambiance. The 100 Oysters for $100 on thursdays is not just a great deal but the freshness of the oysters ensures you know the experience is memorable. Oysters were delicious with my favourite toppings being the in-house cocktail sauce, the freshly prepared horseradish with lemon or simple tobasco. The calamari was crunchy, spicy and definitely tasty. Would highly recommend. The veggie dumplings were well prepared and texture was on point but from a flavour perspective it did not wow. Definitely going to be back here sooner than later.
What great food and amazing customer service! Our server was very attentive and entertaining! The atmosphere was really chill. The burger was juicy and filling. The calamari was really good too. I will definitely be coming back here!
