Diana's Oyster Bar - York

The seafood and everthing is very tasty but the cocktail is really like I cannot taste the booze in it

My wife and I recently went here for some delicious food. I had a mixed platter and my wife tried one of the pastas. It was all excellent and the servers were very friendly and great as well. Wasn't my first visit definitely won't be...More

A group of us went there for dinner. We ordered a wide range of dishes: raw oysters, crab cakes, clam chowder, mixed seafood grill and a couple of pasta dishes. Overall, the food was ok. The raw oysters were pretty fresh; the mixed seafood grill was good but nothing special. The clam chowder tasted like the same can soup they sell in their store and not made in the restaurant. The squid-ink pasta was swimming in oil. The restaurant has fine dining pricing but not the fine dining atmosphere nor services. We probably won't be return customers.

I loved this restaurant at Toronto location. However, I moved further north and visiting Toronto location became somewhat a problem. I was very happy to learn that now there is a location in Markham.We went for dinner on Saturday night. We did not make reservations and place was not full at all, so we did not have any problems with getting in. The place is new, nicely decorated. Service was very fast and friendly. We ended up not ordering any oysters which is very strange as I really wanted oysters :))) oh, well, next time.We ordered grilled octopus for appetizer and it was very well prepared (not overcooked which I hate). For the main course we ordered Grilled whole seabream. I've never tried this fish before and found it to be very delicious. We also ordered Lobster and shrimp tagliatelli. As per my husband this dish was also very well prepared and delicious. We had very pleasant experience at this place and will be happy to return.

Weekday lunch was pretty empty at 1 pm. Only two other tables were active. We ordered a dozen oysters which were fresh & superb with all the toppings to choose from. The fish (Branzino) was very good; I had the clam linguine - not as good. I found it pricey for lunch. The dessert trio was cute.
