Reviews
We stopped by for happy hour and WOW — everything was so good. The drinks were amazing (dangerously good, honestly), the food was fantastic, and the vibes were just right. Shoutout to our server who absolutely crushed it — super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the whole experience even better.
And here’s the part that really made us fans for life. When we left, there was a little mix-up and we didn’t get one of our leftovers. We walked back in, and the manager didn’t just apologize — they made us a whole new Roasta pasta. Like… who does that?! They were so kind and cool about it. That’s the kind of place you want to support.
Great food, killer drinks, amazing service, and management that actually cares.
Safe to say they’ve got customers for life. Highly, highly recommend.
Interior – Pirates with Spray Paint
Once you walk inside you are taken away from the craziness of the SGV and instead come inside an area that can only be described as “nautical chic”. Fishnets hang from the ceiling with old diver helmets, figures of whales, neon signs, and colorful street art along the walls. The use of plants are tasteful and work well with the semi-industrial style of the seating in the dining room floor. High ceilings make the space feel bigger than it actually is and the vibe is welcoming without being overwhelming. Also, their bar is very cool and well designed.
Service
We only had one server on our lunch date and she was all we needed. She was kind, informative, and gave great recommendations. I’m sure if we came an hour later when people started coming in it would’ve been hectic, but service felt relaxed and they gave us plenty of attention.
Food
Currently, this restaurant is participating in DineLA’s Restaurant Week and doing a pre-fixe menu for lunch and dinner. The choices are actually fantastic and worth checking out. Here are my thoughts on what we got.
Sprouts (aka Brussels Sprouts) – right off the bat I’m going to tell you this was arguably the best Brussels sprouts I ever had. Brussels sprouts with red onions, feta cheese, and bacon vinaigrette. Actually amazing in both flavors and smell. I couldn’t believe how pleasant it was to the mouth. One of the times where the smell was as sensual as the taste. The feta balances out the sweetness of the vinaigrette and adds a complexity to it. I usually don’t like feta, but it feels like a missing piece of a puzzle I didn’t even know existed, making this dish complete. You have to try this.
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp – it’s exactly what the name sounds like. Served with a sweet honey mustard this hit a spot only shrimp hugged by bacon could do.
Flight of Oysters – you can’t go to an oyster bar and not try them. They had four different kinds and the sauces it came with were fantastically paired by the freshness of the oysters. One of the sauces was reminiscent of a chimichurri and was exquisite.
Soft Shell Crab Po’ Boy – not bad as far as flavors go. The remoulade adds a nice bitter flavor. The soft shell crab itself is also flavorful, but because there isn’t much meat inside it feels a bit empty. If you pair it with the pan roast though you have a nice dippable sandwich to take advantage of all the chunky ingredients in the pan roast.
Sausage & Chicken Pan Roast – deep in flavors and creamy, this savory dish is the way it should be: a giant hug of warmth inside and out. They don’t skimp with the ingredients with a bite of something meaty in each bite. This is how every pan roast should be.
Overall, The Dive Oyster Bar had a great selection of different food with most of them being hits. There were items on their menu that looked intriguing I want to come back and try. I still dream about their Brussels sprouts too. I look forward to coming back and trying this place once more and I encourage you to do the same. Perfect for solo eating, get togethers, or a simple date. Check this place out.
Service was amazing. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.
Parking can be tricky at times, but there’s an underground garage and a top lot, both free, which makes it manageable.
The ambiance can get loud when the games are on, but it still felt comfortable and we were able to have a conversation without shouting. Overall, a great spot for seafood and good vibes—I’ll definitely be back.
We started with the Seafood Charcuterie, which was absolutely stunning and packed with flavor—Peruvian scallops, oysters, lobster tail, king crab legs, cocktail shrimp, and 3 different sauces, all incredibly fresh and delicious. Next up were the Chowder Frots, which were indulgent little bites loaded with cheese, chowder, bacon, and tomatoes—comfort food at its best.
The highlight of the night was their house specialty Pan Roast, served with a side of rice and linguine. The creamy tomato seafood bisque base was rich and flavorful, with seafood and sausage in every bite. It was the perfect mix of hearty and comforting.
The only downside is that it’s located in a very busy plaza, and parking can be tough on weekends—but honestly, the food is so worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round!
Here’s what we devoured:
– Fish ‘n Chips – $11.50 during happy hour; so crispy and filling!
– Hot Cheeto Mac & Cheese – $10 during happy hour, very decadent and creamy!
– House Specialty Pan Roast – the happy hour version is only $10 with grilled cheese! this dish was very flavorful and was loaded with seafood and protein.
– Clam Chowder Bowl – the happy hour version is only $7 (no bread bowl). Super creamy and delicious!
I love this spot–great service, immaculate vibes, and quality food at reasonable prices! It has everything you need for a perfect dinner out with friends. Pro tip: make a reservation on Open Table beforehand because it can get busy.
