| - I love seafood and have always had a great experience buying from Diana's Seafood Market. So when this place opened up, I knew I definitely had to try it out!
Their interior decor is impressive. You can tell they spent time and money to ensure that their guests are comfortable. But I think if they took some of that and spent it on their staff and food instead, they would undoubtedly receive better ratings, across the board.
Our waiter had a bad attitude, was inattentive and practically missing our entire dinner.
For apps, we got the Diana's Clam Chowder, House Salad, Fried Calamari, and Steam Mussels with Marinara Sauce. Overall, they were fine aside from the extra long wait time.
All the mains were mediocre but without a doubt overpriced. The Grilled & Deboned Fish, Penne Ala Vodka, and Sirloin were standard. The Clam Linguine was bland, I would suggest trying it at the Scarborough location instead. The Surf and Turf included 2 scallops, 2 shrimps, an overdone small piece of veal, and 1 potato, topped off with cold gravy (probably from sitting there while waiting for other meals to be prepared). The Lobster and Shrimp Taglietti was the most disappointing. It is poorly named and completely lacked lobster, to the point where I had to track down our waiter to ask the kitchen if they forgot it. The response I received was that, there was no mistake and the lobster was the rice-size pieces of shreds on the plate. Given they label themselves as a seafood restaurant, I was unimpressed with their food.
All in all, there won't be a second visit, that's for sure.
