Great Deals, But Quality and Service Can Be Inconsistent.
I’ve visited Diana Seafood twice to try their oyster specials. On my first visit, I tried the Thursday $50 for 50 oysters deal, which featured the "Gold" oyster from the West Coast. They were creamy, delicious, and very satisfying, which made me want to come back.
For my second visit, I targeted their Sunday–Wednesday $1.50/each oyster special because it offers a choice between an East Coast and a West Coast option (which is also the Gold oyster). However, our server introduced a different promotion that night: $40 per dozen for Murder Point oysters. My friend and I decided to order a dozen Murder Points and added another round of Golds.
Unfortunately, the Gold oysters this time were not as fresh as the first visit. They looked noticeably dry, and a few of them even tasted a bit off. On the bright side, the Murder Point oysters were incredibly fresh, crisp, and packed with great oyster flavor!
As for the service, it was okay overall, but our server during the second visit was a bit awkward. She was very polite, but after we finished our first round, she cleared away all our forks and sauces—even though she knew we had just placed a second order. She didn't bring any new utensils, so we had to wait for the next round of oysters to arrive and ask for forks all over again.
Overall, the deals are excellent value, but the freshness of the daily specials and the service can be a bit hit-or-miss.

Loved this place! My favourite East Coast oyster was Lucky Lime, and my favourite West Coast oyster was Sun Seeker. The Mushroom Orecchiette was also excellent.
Fanny provided outstanding service—she was so warm, attentive, and friendly. We’ll definitely be back
