Pearl Diver

This was fantastic! The shrimp and lobster were delicious! We tried west coast oysters and west coast oysters! Definitely preferred the east coast oysters. We also got the calamari which was a bit over cooked. But it was an interesting take on calamari. The focaccia was pretty good. Char from the grill was nice. The fries were decent. And the mixed vegetables were buttery and delicious!

If you’re a lover of seafood, Pearl Diver is absolute must. I’m glad I made reservations for this place, because even early on a weekday night, it was completely packed — and for good reason! Great atmosphere, cheerful service, and above all else, some really incredible dishes. We ordered the sesame fried calamari, PD fish & chips and the atlantic lobster. The calamari might be my new favourite out of anywhere else I’ve tried! The fish and chips were perfectly fried with a delicious, flaky texture on the haddock. The lobster was also quite large, packed with meat and very flavourful! So glad we tried this place on recommendation of a local friend. I know we’ll definitely be back again on our next visit to Toronto.

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
