| - My friend told me Pearl Diver was known for their raw oysters and seafood, so she was a little surprised when I opted to come here for Sunday brunch. However, outside of the raw oysters, the brunch game here is strong! With plenty of options, especially for the Benedict lovers, (i.e lobster, fried oyster, kale & mushroom), there's something for everyone at the table.
I ordered the burger, which comes with a generous side of Cajun? spiced fries. The fries were incredible - great amount of spice, flavored really well. The burger was juicy and a "huge chunk of meat" according to my friend. I added bacon for an additional $1.50, which was $1.50 well spent because I got 2 large pieces of perfectly fried bacon. Not sure if bacon is better in Canada than in NY, but I really loved this bacon. The first half of the burger was really good. However, towards the last half, I saw it was unevenly cooked as the beginning was medium rare, while the latter was medium well. The beef was also a tad bit dry during the end.
My friend had the mushroom and kale benedict, which she also loved. It came with a side salad and spiced hash browns. Kudos to the service as they were able to accommodate for her dairy free allergy and made the dish without hollandaise sauce and the hash browns without the spiced butter sauce.
