Reviews for Dive Oyster House in Briarcliff Manor, NY
My family and I have visited this establishment a number of times and we have always enjoyed our experience. The staff and... owners are beyond friendly. They remember every detail from prior conversations and make my kids feel at home. The food wasexceptional. I have had a number of dishes including the salmon, chicken and lobster and have found them excellent. My favoriteis the lump crab cocktail. The cocktails and wine list are also a great addition. The cocktails are creative and the winechoices are expansive. I have found myself at the bar many times after work to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine. This placeis a wonderful addition to Briarcliff. Read more
I don’t usually write reviews but this restaurant was SO BAD that I wanted to make sure others don’t waste their money on... this colossally disappointing (and insultingly overpriced) establishment. We started with “roasted” oysters which wereoysters on the half shell stuck under a broiler until they were dried out and tasteless. No butter sauce or anything. Justawful! Then we had the swordfish “special” (It was anything but!). According to the manager, it was an 8 oz piece of fishwith a palm-sized portion of veggies. My friend ordered the same thing and got an undercooked, partially still frozen piece. And they had the nerve to charge $55 for this entree!! We ordered a side of creamed corn that was practically inedible for $15. I have no problem paying high prices for a worthy meal but this was just flat out price gouging. The only good thing I can sayis that the name is perfect for this place. Don’t waste your time or money on this Dive! Read more
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner in this cozy place, starting with fresh oysters and baked clams. We then had the whole Branzino and... was pleasantly surprised to actually get the two whole filets (many restaurants don't do that). Branzino was cooked perfectlyand presented even better . Also ordered the Swordfish special which was very much enjoyed as well. Wine was list was plentifuland reasonable. Co-owner John and his staff were all welcoming, gracious and very attentive. Relaxed and inviting atmosphere.Definitely recommend Dive Oyster in Briarcliff, nice cozy spot with bar seating as well as outside seating. Read more
There is nothing "Dive" about this restaurant. You might as well be in Manhattan or at the shore. Food and service was amazing.... We ordered twice because the food was so good. Oysters, East and West Coast, are obviously picked with care. The Greatestlobster role I've ever had, and I've had a lot. Great cocktail menu. Definitely going back. They have a kids menu too. Lookforward to it Read more
My dinner here was one of the nicest experiences I’ve had in a while. It was my father’s birthday and they were driving up... from NJ so I wanted to find a special place. From the second we walked in we were greeted like family. The owner chatted with usabout the area and was extremely personal. The staff anticipated our every need and the food was fresh and prepared perfectly.All my dad wanted was oysters and he was thrilled with the quality. The best part was that they received my note on open tableand put a birthday candle in my dads dessert and gave us a free round of port for the occasion! They went above and beyond foreverything to make sure the night was special. It made me so happy and I can’t wait to come back here for some romanticdinners with my fiancé. Read more
A beautiful gem in Briarcliff Manor! Wow the owners left not one detail missed with the design of DIVE. Was totally feeling the... luxe boutique new look this space received. Ok now for the food, It was hard to decide from the menu. For starters, we orderedthe Beet Salad and Fried Calamari. OMG we loved it! The salad was so fresh and large enough to share but I ate it all lol! Thecalamari was the most fresh, served with two wonderful dipping sauces. My friend kept exclaiming it was fried in original freshoil and batter. For entrées, we ordered Whole Grilled Branzino and Black Noodles (pasta). The branzino comes out sizzling andbeautifully presented. Fish of course, was fresh and fluffy. My pasta had nice amount of beautiful shrimp and chopped lobster. Idon’t know the exact sauce, but it was fantastic! For dessert we shared a slice of the berry tart. It was light and guiltfree! Our server was so sweet and professional. The hosts Kenny and John were extremely accommodating and make you feel welcome.Dive is a wonderful edition to this side of Westchester. Read more
Love this new spot!! The food, service, and ambiance were A+. The decor is modern, clean, and classy. The food presentation and... AMAZING cocktails matched that upscale vibe. We had oysters, a lobster roll, and a seafood salad -- all to die for. Great fordate nights, girls' night out, birthday dinners, etc. Our neighborhood needed an option like this!! We will be back.
