  • Having money means you can enjoy things that you thought were gross as a kid. Fish eggs, goose liver, raw oysters. Mm-mm! Rich people food. Raw oysters are probably the easiest to achieve. With buck a shuck and other deals, I can pretend to be fancy on my entry-level salary any day! This restaurant embodies how I feel about oysters in general: just average people trying to be a little fancy on any given night. It's expensive, but not over the top (think the Keg). The decor was very pretty, with an impressive oyster shucking station in the middle, but it still had TVs playing sports and casual families that brought their babies. Diana's is probably the best place to enjoy oysters in Markham. Though they don't do buck a shuck, they do have promotions on certain days of the week. Let's talk about the main attraction: mounds upon mounds of oysters. We got east coast Malpeque ($1.95) which were a bit more flavourful in our opinion and west coast Fanny Bay ($2.25) which were creamier. I've never had 'creamy' oysters, so that was cool, but I still preferred the 'un-creamy' ones. Of course, we went for the cheapest ones on the menu, but there are oysters that go up to $4-5 a pop! Entrees were delicious! Got the grilled and deboned sea bream with veggies ($28). It was a little bit oily, especially since they also give you a small container of butter, but very tasty. One complaint: upgrade your veggies to rice or potatoes for $4??? It's just rice or potatoes! It's not even both! That's way too expensive. Stick with the grilled veggies, they're awesome anyway. SO got the lobster and shrimp tagliatelli ($28). Not so much lobster, but big fat juicy shrimp. Pasta was nicely textured and the sauce was creamy and succulent. Key lime pie ($9) was limey and creamy. Alright slice of pie, but not really worth it at that price. Before this place popped up, you may have only seen Diana's as a booth at Night It Up with hordes lining up for fresh oysters. Fresh oysters at an open, blistering hot, market? Yes, it was questionable. But like their restaurant, it didn't disappoint. Consistently high quality, fresh seafood. So go ahead, take your date here! It's fancy, it's tasty, and you know what they say about oysters ;) (84/100) - 2016
