  • It is with mixed emotions that I write this 1-star review update. I will preface it by saying that I have enjoyed some wonderful brunches since my memorable introduction to Pearl Diver a few years back. Before "the incident" (described below) I had resisted writing an updated review about Pearl Diver because I didn't want to share my secret of the well-priced classic breakfast with its great salad; saucy home fries; gravlax (subbed in for bacon at no additional cost); eggs; and yummy bread. Heaven forbid that this would turn into the next Le Petit Déjeuner (which is in the same area) with the requisite queue. Anyhow, the love affair with this place is over and my updated review is quite a rotten tale indeed... A couple of months back my partner and I ordered some mains, including a seafood tower, on a Saturday evening. It was a busy night and the tower seemed to be a popular choice, which isn't surprising since it appears to be priced well for all of that seafood. Unfortunately, I got more than I bargained for on that tower of shell. I ended up getting a horrible case of food poisoning/noro virus that I believe could have been avoided at a higher calibre institution that could handle a busy crowd and deliver impeccable product and service. I could smell that an oyster was funky and notified our server. She wasn't apologetic and simply brought out 2 new oysters for us to replace the bad one. I was in an agreeable mood and didn't insist on anything further and so perhaps that was my fault. I tried to eat what seemed fresh when I should have just quit once I smelled something fishy. While I am aware that there is always risk involved when you are eating raw seafood, it is best practice for someone to sniff each oyster after it has been shucked and before they are served. This is a comment that my partner made and while he would never deem himself a fussy foodie type, he has experience in the service industry (he worked at Joso's when he was a university student) and it rang sensible to me. Bottom line is that Pearl Diver didn't take the time or care to handle our food properly that night. Not okay. I certainly won't be returning for seafood :( They've slid from oyyy yeah to oyyyy vey.
