REVIEWS OF Dianne's Fish Shack & Smokehouse IN Kingston

David Wilkinson

Nice old stone building. Friendly service. Food was Ok, nothing special.

Nate Kornaker

Very good food with quick service! There's a good selection and prices are average. Wil definitely be going back!

Yulia Kovaleva

Delicious! Fresh crispy fries, tender and crispy fish (that's not greasy at all!). Had a fish sandwich which came with a very nice sauce and a tomatillo which added a nice acidity and sweetness. The services was great - I got the very last table at the restaurant and they were gracious enough to reseat me after a couple of other better tables opened up. Will definitely be back to try more of the amazing food!

Mishka G

Delicious menu, and the drinks. I highly suggest the lobster rolls!

Abbas Shaherwala

Brisket tacos were amazing, fish tacos lacked a little flavour. Haddock and shrimp combo was good. House tarter sauce was amazing! Overall great quality and service.

Amanda Stewart

Definitely stop by!!!! The lobster roll was fresh, authentic and had huge chunks of lobster. Highly recommend. Beautiful patio.

Richard Bowlby

Can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner. I mistakenly thought it was exclusively seafood, when it has a wide variety of foods. The burger was probably the best in the city. Prices are reasonable and good service. It may become the new go to spot for us.

Aranya Nagar

Amazing fresh sea food! I loved their mussels, ceviche, and baja battered tacos.

Bonnie Temple

We ordered delivery: they forgot one order of fish and chips and said they didn’t have the staff to bring it. The “fish chowder” is a very thin soup full of large pieces of potato and barely anything resembling fish. The $8 cup of this was tiny! The fish cakes were also chock full of large pieces of potato making for a very strange and unpleasant texture for a fish cake. These also had a distinct lack of seasoning making them very bland and inedible. I am giving 3 stars because the one order of fish and chips that we received were decent. Also, the fish taco was soggy but good. It was a very expensive meal without much enjoyment.

Yeja Morales

Excellent service, good shrimp and fish & ships, but the fries were a little too salty.

Alcock Nurseries

Brisket sandwich fantastic. Service excellent. Must come and enjoy if you haven't visited

Richard Nowell

Delicious food and exceptional service! The menu is creative and delicious from what we tried.

Chrissy Fried

Wow! Not only is the food delicious but the customer service is outstanding. We placed our order through skip the dishes and when it arrived, it was missing 2 kids chicken strip meals. We called and Chris went out of his way to ensure we not only got our chicken strip for the kiddos, he even included a special note to apologize for the mix up. This was unnecessary but completely appreciated. What outstanding customer service. Thank you very much! We will absolutely be back.

Catherine Tremblay

Awesome food and the margarita's were spot on, lovely lime, not that apple scented mix so many are now using!

Simran Hirji

The shrimp and fish combo was delicious, also in case you’re a vegetarian you should definitely try the Cavatappi pasta :)

jeff rexe

Ordering over the phone went well. The customer service rep was patient and very capable. Upon pickup the staff were friendly and efficient. As for the food, I got the Rhode Island calamari and pepper rings; likely not the best dish for take out as it was dry and rubbery, likely because it wasn’t very warm by the time we ate. The flavours were on point as far as seasoning goes. Wasn’t fond of the dipping sauce...very mayo forward. The entree I chose was the Branzino and the fish was cooked perfectly as was the broccolini. The chick pea/almond side dish was terrible though. My wife got the smokehouse platter and said it was “good” but nothing special. Cornbread/garlic roll that came with it was amazing. Beans were delicious. We also got the Dianne’s burger and my daughter said it was delicious. Fries are very good. The children’s chicken fingers and fries were “yummy” and macaroni and cheese was great. Overall it was disappointing but I will reserve final judgement until I’ve had the fish and chips. Price was 150 dollars which I feel wasn’t well spent.

Chris Locke

Excellent food and service!

Ady

I absolutely loved everything about Dianne’s. From the service to food all top notch. Cheers.

baljeet singh

Great food!

Mika Sainiala

Supper place to eat and the seafood is mint. Great flavors all around ☺️

Ingrid Riviere

We really enjoyed our experience at this place and look forward to going back!

Atmane Bouali

The best place for fish and ships! The waiter is so helpful.

Ibere Rodrigues

Delicious food and wonderful staff!

K W

Not sure what the hype here is. The food is ok. The service ok. But there prices are a little high maybe about a 20% premium. The tuna poke isn't bad. Though a bit saltier. The tacos are good, but the taco shells were harder/dry. Overall, ok. Could be better.

Heath Mitch

Smoke house plater was 5 stars. Service was 3. Biggest problem not enough staff to serve the tables

Mike Al-Abiad

A seat at the bar is ideal if you're by yourself. The bartender is very friendly and made me feel welcomed through interesting conversation. I recommend the fish and chips!

Juan Carlos Lopez

Great food and friendly staff

Richard林

Lovely experience and quality food. The patio offered a great view of the city. Customer service was on point. Fish and chips were crispy, not oily at all. Gave a 4/5 only cause I expected more food for the price we paid for. But overall, solid restaurant ????

Cris Sinnott

Fast, friendly service here. Great food and drinks (licensed) served on a busy patio with lots to see. Grilled, rather than fried fish options are available.

Evan Im (임국환)

It's really nice restaurant. Every employees were so kind, and food was so great.

Lillian Coady

Meal was very good. Enjoyable staff

Rose Nguyen

As our mains we ordered the Steamed PEI Mussels in a white wine tomato sauce and the Taco Plate. The mussels were very tender and fresh tasting. I liked how the sauce was light, which allowed me to still enjoy the mussel flavour. For the tacos, I chose the BBQ Brisket and Beer Battered Baja Fish Tacos. The lunch combo also comes with a side of fries. The baja fish tacos were a bit bland, however I enjoyed the nice texture of the fish and the crispy batter. The brisket taco was phenomenal. I really loved the juice running from the meat and the spices made it really delicious.

Canadian Steve

Great location, great service. Food was good as well. I had the Fish Sammie which was skin on rainbow trout. Unique and messy but good.

Cibelly Gatti

Cute place. Food was ok but nothing special for the price.

Chris Drew

The lobster rolls are fantastic. Heated patio. Great location. Recommended.

Monica Dostal

Overall, a fairly pleasant dining experience with an eclectic dinner menu. The classic calamari is however less then impressive as the rings are both thinly cut and heavily breaded/ battered, I would have rather seen a grilled option to insert some freshness to a fairly heavy feeling appetizer menu offering . The oysters were very fresh and served with yummy sauces and fresh horseradish. The fish tacos were tasty but as with the calamari, the breading on the fish was thick and greasy. The ceviche was excellent in flavour but lacked in the portion size of fresh fish to justify the overall price per plate. As with many restaurants during Covid, Dianne’s has had at to adapt to the increasing demand for patio dining. Unfortunately, the make shift patio extension across the road ( and occupying parking spaces) leaves more to be desired from the overall experience. As it was starting to rain… we were not given the option to seek shelter at another table.

Jess Barnard

Fresh, delicious food and wonderful service! Chowder and beer battered fish was excellent, service was quick despite being a busy Saturday night!! Highly recommend visiting this gem!

Keith Wohlgemuth

My first time here and unfortunately having to go take out with our current environment. Called in to order and it's nice to talk with a person to order, especially when they are so helpful and friendly, making ordering a breeze. Arrived at my pick up time to hot and ready food, again with great service. I look forward to the day we can eat in again - the restaurant looked like it would have a great atmosphere. Got home to eat and I have to say, that from Diane's Down East Fish Chowder, through the Loaded Gumbo Skillet, there wasn't much room left for that really tasty Hello Dolly Square! The food was great and I will be back! Thanks for supper!

jason liang

Their lobster roll is beyond 5 star.

Khusen Shukurov

Absolutely worth visiting this place if you are in Kingston. You won’t regret if you order Combo Haddock & Shrimp and Beef Brisket sandwich! Delicious food and excellent service!

Daniel Chak

Came here last night for a late dinner. It was super busy everywhere and luckily we were able to get a table. I ordered the fish sammie with a margarita and it was great! The portions were good and the service was quick. The only thing though, I asked for no tomatoes and they forgot, I didn’t bother asking for a new one because I was hungry. Would come again to try something different.

Peter Sheremeta

Awesome experience. Was initially hesitant to go out for dinner but with company coming to visit , decided to to the chance. Without exaggerating, it was one of the best dining experiences in many years. Service was excellent, Covid protocols in place

Anonymous

Very friendly service. Decor is cute. Food arrived quick. We got the poke and the fish and chips shrimp combo. The fish and chips were good but a little dry. The shrimp was great though. Kind of has an American feel to it even though it's not a chain (to my knowledge).

Ellen Muir

Excellent service and delicious selections. First time dining here. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with our server, Kayla who was informative, professional and lovely. Warm greeting, only a 10 min wait for a table. Meal and cocktail were spot on. Recommend the fish chowder, lobster roll ( you get 2 rolls with this order) and seasonal offerings.

Jordan Toohey Carignan

Go for drinks and oysters (great selection of both and at good prices too)! The patio is in a great location. There are many good dishes on the menu (everyone I was with was pleased with their choices) but I would skip the tacos next time, crumbly and lacking in flavour.

Kiran Varughese

Amazing crispy, fresh haddock fish and chips. The clam chowder was very creamy and wholesome. Great service and location too.

Braden (Crusher15)

Amazing oysters, great service, positive atmosphere. The calamari was excellent as well. Overall really good experience!

Bobby Pain

Had a few drinks outside on their patio among the heaters. I was with my parents who were nervous to be indoors and they loved the atmosphere. We ended up staying a lot longer than planned. The heaters kept it really warm. Great experience!!

Stephanie Wu

Staff were incredibly friendly. Very attentive, informative of the menu, and kept our water constantly filled. Excellent staff. Food was good. My partner had the haddock fish and chips, which was very good. Soft, moist, tasty tartar sauce, and presented nicely on faux newspaper for great aesthetic. My soup was really tasty! Huge chunks of fish and potatoes in it. My salmon sandwich was not so great. The smokey smell was overpowering and made me cough a bit. The sauce they used completely soaked through the bottom bun and made it an absolutely soggy mess and not fun to eat. The salmon was also a bit dry. My whole lunch (soup and sandwich) was $18 with tax and tip; I didn't order any drinks.

Ibraheem Aziz

Delicious seafood is available at this spot near the docks for both dining-in and takeout. The haddock and shrimp with chips comes in generously-sized portions with coleslaw, housemade ketchup and tartar sauce on the side. Prices are great and the views are spectacular across the water - definitely worth stopping by if you're in town!

Elina Ishchenko

All the food is so sugary. Greens are as sweet as sugar. Beans taste as they are covered with honey. Really disappointed. Never again. On top of that it’s really dirty place.

Robert Faithfull

I've traveled alot and this place has the BEST Fish & Chips in Canada!!

Nahla Saleh

I eat there every time i visit kingston and they are always consistently good. I have yet to eat there and not feel satisfied

David Wiseman

I can't recall the last time I've return a dish but unfortunately I returned the fish and chips here. Main reason was the fish was uncomfortably salty on the tongue. Secondarily the fries where frozen or at least they weren't hand cut which is sort of an expectation. Also I wasn't a fan of the "beer batter" execution. The appearance and texture of the batter was more like that of frozen but the manager assured me this was hand dipped. Having said that the fish itself was quality. Continuing on in the positive note, the Tuna Tostada was very nice. My GF's Pan seared pickeral was nice. The classic seafood restaurant bun was a nice touch. My fall back mussels in coconut curry broth were also nice. McKinnon Bros on tap! Staff / service was great. You can tell it's a well run establishment. Jury still out on whether or not I'd return.

Michael M.

The clam chowder and lobster rolls are really impressive. We really enjoyed ourselves here. Location is also prime

Samantha Haggstrom

Highly recommend Dianne's! Delicious fish and chips, and there is enough variety on the menu that anyone should be able to find something they like. Lots of great flavor in everything we tried.

Vishal Mishra

I visited there with my family and friend during weekend and I ordered fish and chips and chicken tacos. Fish & Chips was unbelievably tasty and great. It was so good that next day when we were passing by the place I couldn't resist myself from having one again. The staff are also very courteous and supporting. However, the tacos was not at all good and I couldn't even finish what I ordered. The overall experience was good. Must recommend Fish & Chips at this place.

Robin Boyer

Diannes was amazing!! Lizzys service was incredible, the food was delicious, and the ambience was wonderful! We will be back for sure :)

Sarina W

Eggs Benedict were great ???????? not very crowded probably on the weekends

Ember Kitsune

Excellent service, wonderful server, delicious food. On a whim, I ordered the fish and chips for lunch. Truthfully, I have not eaten fish and chips since I was a child, I was convinced I hated this particular dish. But this was so mouth-wateringly tasty and fresh, the coating so crisp and not too oily, I know I'll order it again.

Josh Radic

Amazing fish n chips and seafood poutine! Awesome atmosphere.

Mike Nelson

Get your seafood fix ! Did I say great ????rolls?

Anupriya Arora

Amazing experience at the bar. The food was delicious. Chris, the bartender, was super accommodating and made our experience that much better.

Debora De Angelis

Loved the fish and chips. Fresh and delicious. My family of 5 gives Dianne's Fish Shack a 5*****. Whenever we are in Kingston we also make time to stop here and have their amazing fish and chips! A must-have if you are in Kingston.

Miss Gladieva

The taste was excellent, we ordered mussels with fish and chips which were quite tasty. I definitely recommend going there.

isabel king

omg ???? gf celiac safe and ALL I EVER WANT TO EAT?!?

M. KH

Great service and cozy patio. Enjoyed the fish and chips and husband got tge tacos.

Dave Tse

Good customer service and big Salad but the fish portion is small and dry.

Bo T

Really nice restaurant, great food and service. It's a good choice for sea food or fish.

Rudy Habesch

Had our first Patio Dining experience after restrictions were lifted. The food was tasty, and the staff were very friendly. They accommodated our dietary restrictions and substituted the fried fish with a grilled alternative. The Grilled Branzino was the right choice for me. This was our first dining experience in Kingston, we’re definitely going back!

Steven Hernandez

Awesome service! Great drinks and outstanding food.

Char8er

Didn't really expect the quality of their food but after seeing other reviews and pictures I was convinced to try it out. Right by the get go you can tell they have excellent customer service just by how they greeted us when we came to pick up our order. The icing on the cake however is when they forgot to include one mexican corn to our order, instead of cooking just one, they gave us a free one to go because of the miscommunication. Simple things like that really differentiates good customer service to an excellent one. Will definitely recommend to everyone.

Ern Flo

Nice place, nice food.

Tania Munro

The food was delicious. All the servers and kitchen staff all wore masks. They were very diligent in cleaning tables and chairs after each costumer left. The only thing that they could improve on is the bathroom cleanliness.

Sourayon Chanda

Great local place for fish and chips!

Patti Sakalauskas

Ceviche was fresh and tasty. Lobster rolls were tasty too. And the sangria named with Grand Marnier was wonderful. Servers were so attentive. Great experience.

Mark Robson

Had a delicious Lobster roll and chowder. Gluten free options too. Super friendly staff too

Nabeel Khan

Great place for seafood in Kingston, conveniently located by the water. Had the tacos which were great and the lobster roll is delicious.

Jonathan

Wonderful restaurant and excellent quality food. I had the lobster mac and cheese, which was delicious and very good value. I will visit again on my next visit to Canada!

Mon Huang

Delicious fish and chips! Our favorite place in Kingston.

John Shular

Let me start by saying that the waitress was very nice and friendly, however the food as far as the fish tacos and the chicken tacos lack flavor big time the clam chowder soup lack flavor big time it’s like they added no seasoning whatsoever on their foods, it was not impressed with the food whatsoever prices weren’t the best either specially for what you got only thing that was half decent that we had out of all five of us were the order of fries that I got had a nice little Mexican flavor twist to them but that was it. I forgot to take photos of the food when it arrived so I apologize for that brought home two tacos just to season them up and eat them at home. Would not go back again.

Jeremy Ng

Great service great food. Especially liked the tartar sauce for the shrimp and chips. The bbq set was above average. Went during an off hour to avoid the lines out the door. This place is a good place to eat if you're looking for a hearty meal.

Gilles Lorrain

Good food! Good service! Worth it!

Xing H.C

Love the food. Unfortunately went there for nice warm bread, there did not have it due to the covid. Will be go there again

Arlene Gray

An enjoyable lunch of oysters, mussels & shrimp on the patio. I would definitely go back again!

Maor Shpans

Awesome food. Fish and chips, fish tacos and dirty fries were so good.

Bilal Hassan

I used to love Dianne's for the amazing food, but lately they've changed a bit and the food isn't as good as it used to be, especially the tacos. They also made them almost double the price they used to be. Basically they put so much sauce that it feels like you're just eating a tortilla stuffed with just sauce. The recipe has changed several times over the last few years so taste isn't consistent. Great location otherwise, also very nice setting and service.

GS and RH

We stopped in to Dianne’s for lunch on a weekend away from the city. We opted for the fish and chips and substituted regular “chips” for the dirty fries with blackened shrimp. A great move! The shrimp was well cooked, but being labeled as blackened I feel they could have used a bit more of a kick! The fries were a fun little taste explosion on a standard side dish. However, the star of the show had to be the fish. The batter was light, but present. It didn’t take away from the fish at all. If you go there make somebody get it! It is a cool little spot with great service!

Scott Norris

This place would be a 5 if it wasn't for the price. The smoked trout sandwich was awesome but at $19 for a sandwich that is way over the top. That's about as expensive as a an ahi tuna sandwich I got in Napa valley... The chowder was a little cream heavy but generally good.

JP Bouchard

Good food and friendly staff. Worth a try on your next visit to Kingston.

Raymond C

Friendly service, the food is ok but the batter are very salty

steve gomes

Fish and chips were amazing, just found the fries a bit to salty. Had me thirsty all day. But definitely recommend.

Jeeva Yaldo

Ordered the following : Seafood chowder - amazing!! Fish taco - small portion but really good!! Fish cake - the best I have had in a while! Tuna poke - bit to salty for me. Wouldn't recommend. Service - friendly staff and quick service

Mark Garrisi

Great spot for sea food!

Andrew Small

I'd passed Diane's last time we visited Kingston and wondered if it was as good as it sounded; seafood and a smokehouse! Thankfully we managed to make it for lunch this time and I can happily report it is as good as it sounds. Excellent seafood, ranging from poke, oysters, fish and chips, mussels and prawns and lobster rolls, with a decent selection of slow-cooked meats; chicken tinga, pulled pork and 12 hour brisket in either tacos or sandwiches. Everything we tried was wonderful and the staff were so good, they obviously enjoy working there. A must try if you're in Kingston.

Adam Boone

Stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for the 2 piece fish and chips. The place was clean, service was good, and the fish was exceptional. The batter is light with a slight hint of a Mexican type spice or something like that. Just a light hint that gives it an extra kick. Very tasty! The fries were very very average. Absolutely nothing special and they don't have gravy. The the story here is the fish and it taste really great... solid 9/10. I would return for the fish, not the fries though. ????

Bob Webster

Very impressed for first visit. Gated the stands holding plexiglass decoders though... Sign of the times. Food was great!

Michelle Dufoe

The atmosphere was relaxing, even with plexiglass between each table. My husband and I had the Atlantic Cod with a cesar and mojito. We will return!!!

Maher Jebara

Yummy yummy in my tummy. Really enjoyed the food and the prices were decent. Staff are friendly and quick to serve.

Ray Q

Best experience I've ever had on my trip to Kingston. Great price, moderate waiting time, perfect food.

Cindy Marcuz

Have been wanting to go there for years. Finally got there and it was just ok. Wait staff was awesome. Food was meh...

Mike MacEachern

Great service and the fish and chips were excellent... lightly battered and perfectly cooked.

Scott McMaster

So friendly. Excellent takeout meal while we were staying at the nearby Marriot.

Nalia Grant

The food was delicious. The restaurant is very busy so prepare to wait.

sloane rosen

Food came out quickly, staff was kind and attentive. Food was pretty but bland.

Cray Miranda

One of the best BBQ places I've visited. The platter portion was good for two people and the flavors were all very unique and worked with each other very well. Server and hostess were also very kind, professional and accommodating; despite there being a line to get in. Definitely returning when I'm back in Kingston!

sat nandlall

Outstanding fish and chips, excellent service! Kudos to the chef for allowing us to get our fries seasoned with old bay.

Shawn & Teena Abraham

Nice Halibut Fish & Chip. Waited 15 mins in store for someone to approach and help. If he could place the order himself he wouldn't need you remember. Overall Good food, staff need to stay top and not slack. 6/10

The Onus Entertainmernt

Hands down the best fish n chips I've ever had. Very fresh, light, tasty. Fries were perfect. Tartar sauce was mind boggling. Totally poggers dude. Would recommend.

Kevin Seaman

Excellent apps, dirty fries were fantastic!

Greg Reid

Great location and good staff. Food was okay but expected a bit more for the price. Lobster roll costing $27 one would expect a decent bun at least.

Stephanie Brogan

Went here for an early dinner , I gotta say the the server we had was amazing, attentive without being overly so, and had such a happy disposition. Now the food was totally yummy. My friend had the tuna poke, and the seafood chowder. She thoroughly enjoyed both. Now I was hungry that day so I had the fish cakes which were fantastic, followed by the Brussels sprouts ( beware ,you get a lot ), and of course the fish and chips were just so delicious. Wish I could remember the name of our server, to give her the cudo s she so deserves. Keep up the great work!!!

Cameron Miller

Great food and service. Worth the wait for a patio setting. Lobster roll was yummy ????

Khalid Risheq

Lovely fish restaurant, great fish, service & Friendly team

Francis Yin

Deep-fried fish is not healthy.

John Ferguson

Mexican street corn nicely charred and yummy followed by smoked brisket, chicken and pork tacos. Food was fresh and bursting with flavor. Waitress friendly and accommodating when we said time was tight.

Jason Noonan

It was our first time dining here, we have passed by the place a million times and thought we would finally try it out. We really enjoyed ourselves, our meals seemed to be ready minutes after having our order taken which was really nice. The food was very hot but also very delicious, you can't go wrong with the fish and chips! Our server was super friendly and topped up our drinks multiple times. Overall we had a great experience and we will definitely be back!

farzaneh afzali

Such a delicious food they have. I tried fish and chips and Tacos here and they were perfect! The staff are also good but still can get better! The only thing I had prob with was that they served their ice-cream with super market packaging! At least put them in a vase or bowl! A bit more classy, isn't?!

Laetitia23

Very good fish and chips, with the possibility to have a salad side! The haddock is very good!

Jet Mabini

Food was served fast, taste was amazing. Server was friendly. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Mohan Venugopal

One of the best seafood restaurant. Had oysters, fried calamari, chowder, mussels. They were delicious. Had to wait to get a table but it was worth it. Thank you.

N S

We were seated right away. Place is not big but cozy. Music is not too loud which is nice so you can still carry on conversations. Staff is nice although sometimes a bit forgetful. Food is good. We ordered 3 soup and sandwich lunch meals. Soup was fish chowder and really tasty. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich but ended up exchanging with my husband’s trout sandwich because the pulled pork was a bit spicy for my taste. We are now having the hello dolly with vanilla ice cream and the chocolate mint mousse for dessert. Both okay. Too bad they don’t carry the chocolate cheesecake that they have on the dessert menu.

Ken Bax

The fish and chips were excellent and the homemade tartar sauce it was delicious.

Wendy D

Very delicious. I ordered fish and chips, seafood poutine and fish cakes. It is a little bit expensive.

Carsten

Food was good. Service was very mediocre. Due to Covid, they sat us under a small white tent that provided zero shade. Baked in the sun for an hour and a half. Quicker service might have made this more tolerable.

Tharaneesan Nadarajah

Their tacos were really good!

Dave Jones

Amazing seafood. Brilliant staff. Would go back again definitely.

Carlo Franco

Very impressed with the food and the service here! We ordered the lobster rolls and four tacos which was plenty for two people. Lobster roll, fish tacos, and chicken tacos were delicious! Our server was very friendly and provided excellent recommendations. Sat on the patio which was heated.

Benjamin Harrison

By far one of my favourite places for food and drinks! My parents took me here before I made the move up to Kingston and it will 100% be one a frequently visit. Good food, amazing waitstaff and if you want a drink with a kick I suggest the Mexican Iced Tea.

Csaba Harmath

We liked very muche the easy going way of this fish restaurant. The dishes were delicious, the place quite nice and the service very attentive!

Tamara

Seriously the best fish tacos I’ve had! Cool interior, nice staff. Food was truly excellent!

Joel Kennedy

Fantastic experience. Fish and chip lunch was fast, hot, fresh, and flavorful. Loved the house salad with special yogurt dressing. Fries are some of the best I had - perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Vern Shepherd

Glad we stopped in and found this waterfront restaurant. Great food, great service and great ambiance.

Kritikesh Kumar

Loved the lobster rolls and fish cakes

Les Duguid

Staff did an excellent job cleaning. The food was amazing. The best fish and chips I have had in years, and my kids loved the burgers. Highly recommended.

Shayan Givehchian

The fish and chips was wonderful. The brisket taco I didn't really like the corn tortillas.

Lyndachica

I was pleasantly surprised discovering this hidden gem in Kingston. Really nice atmosphere, friendly servers and exceptional cuisine. Everything was very delicious and fresh. I'll definitely be back!

Rohit Gaddam

Exceptionally good fish n chips

Vic Dohar

Fish and chips good, especially the combo with large shrimp. Pulled pork and soft shelled tacos were also enjoyed by others in group. Good service.

arun jose

Every dish was awesome !!! Must try if you are passing by Kingston. Worth waiting in the line and be patient for the food to be prepared , so good

Lori

Omg, we just had the barbecue brisket sandwich with pickled green tomatoes and slaw. Absolutely delicious! Fries were great too!

Phil Chao

Considering the long line up and witnessing many people place take out orders, I was very disappointed with this restaurant! My cocktail was poorly made (too sour, I had to add water and sugar to balance out the flavour) The fish chowder was served lukewarm, watered down and had no seasoning (not even salt). The Mexican corn and fish and chips were okay, but the fish portions are very small so be prepared for that. 2 stars because the server Karly did a great job! But the food is below average, sorry.

William O

Superb. Worth the visit. Generous plates.

Zoya Humayun Khan

Fish Tacos were love! ????????????????

Dana Bell

We're visiting from out of town and stumbled apon this amazing restaurant! Their haddock and shrimp was incredible and their oysters hands down the best I've ever had. I was curious about one of their dips that went along with the oysters and their chef came out to to chat with us about it! Great experience, service and delicious food. Thanks for an awesome time.

Rich Potter

Great beer selections on tap and fresh great tasting food. I had a flight of local beer and the 2 taco lunch plate with fish and brisket - recommended by the waitress. No complaints from anyone at our table.

Mathew Dotto

Friendly service, great portions. Also had the calamari which was amazing.

Anna C

Super tasty food! Nice stuff

Yana Gushchina

Anyone who has been to the East Cost this is the place to get the best lobster roll...going there only for that special.

Kanita Afrin Niki

Delicious food. Had the fish cakes for appetizer and shrimp and haddock ( fish and chips) as entree . Both had the perfect portion size and great taste. Servers were very friendly.

B Shotunde

Great food and location! The service is great ????

Lisa Tai

Came here for dine in lunch on a Saturday since it's close to the waterfront. Great customer service from the greeter, wait staff and owner. Lots of great options for a seafood and bbq. I shared the Alaskan Haddock 2pcs with Fries with my son. My toddler loved it! I enjoyed the coleslaw. My husband had the tacos. My other friends had the brisket sandwich, chowder, mussels and calamari. All were very yummy! Very impressed with the food! This restaurant does comply with public health standards. All staff wore masks, greeter asked for proof of vaccination, and there are shields that separate the dining tables. I definitely felt safe dining at this restaurant.

Trent Humphrey

Great service and freshly made fish chowder .

David Launiere

Great service!food was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I would recommend to everyone I know and I will be returning. WELL DONE !!!

Paul Pan

Must try in Kingston! It's seafood meeting Mexican food meeting Canadian food! The taco salad and lobster roll is to notch and exceed our expectations. No wonder it's already full and you could see looking line ups at their door

Christian Petit

Excellent food superb atmosphere friendly and competent staff I will enjoy going back there in the future.

Laura Carvalho

Honestly AMAZING FOOD. I got the fish and chips combo with shrimp (I changed the battered shrimp for blackened shrimp) and was WOW…. Just delicious. We got dirty fries and poke Tuna for entry’s and they were REALLY GOOD. Honestly everything was delicious. Service was really good as well! Definitely recommend if you are in town. Would definitely come back when visiting.

radhika mhatre

I love this place and the food here. Mussels are my favorites! Good staff and great atmosphere!

chrisco741

Food was unbelievably delicious ???? Certainly do recommend the haddock with the shrimps ???? Very friendly atmosphere.

Perry Ransom

It's a lovely area! But the place was dirty, over priced, and smelled do bad ????. With the prices so high you would think they would clean the ????. Lighting is poor going down the stairs watch yourself. I guess poor lighting because it's so dirty. First and last time.

Would not return. Tried the fish chowder, fish sammie, tacos and Caesar salad. The tacos were okay. Chowder was tasteless and bland. The best part of the meal were the fries that came with the fish sammie. Caesar salad was okay as well.

Mark Deary

Busy place. Social distancing options. Good fish and chips. Haven't tried the smoking options.

Bianca R

The fish tacos are AMAZING The staff is super friendly and willing to accommodate food allergies

Joao Brodt

Food is good, but it’s really expensive for the portions size. I got a tuna poke for $17 and got a tiny little bowl with lots of soy sauce and almost no vegetables. Really frustrating. As soon as the food arrived I complained about the size and the waiter just said that was the size and there was nothing he could do since they prepared the food already. Really? For $17 I was left hungry. Won’t be coming back again.

Tyler Halladay

Really good lunch here today. Had the fish tacos they were amazing. The wife had the haddock and chips they were also really good. Draft beer was nice and cold featuring some good locals breweries.

Moon Chung

Very nice and friendly staff , food is good and price is reasonable

Mike Lively

food was very good. much better than expected. smoked fish cakes were excellent. fish tacos were also very tasty.

Shahriar Khan

Location was great but didn't like the chicken tinga sammie that much!

kyle s

Great food and service - highly recommend!

Julie Gow Vandonk

Delicious Fich and Chips, near the Waterfront

Marc Nached

Very tasty food . Price is very reasonable too.

Stephen McNally

I legitimately had the best fish and chips of my life here! Great drinks and service as well

Lorraine Robert

Food was very fresh. Enjoyed it very much & service was great too.

GEOFFREY GIBBS

Great little restaurant in Kingston. Very slow time of year for the dinner crowd but this place was busy so we gave it a try. Not at all disappointed. Looking for a light snack and a couple of pints. Nice selection on tap and both the tacos and calamari were superb. Great service too!

Amolie Saunders

Absolutely do not ever go here if you are a person of colour!! Our waitress didn’t come to check on our table once even though she did 4 rounds on all the other tables (including those next to ours). The tall blonde waitress and the young boy working there also pointed at my Indian mother and laughed at he after she expressed that she was upset they never checked on our table. Also our fish was cold and my mom was going to ask for it to be reheated a bit, but she never came to check. My mom had to drink my water because we were sitting on the patio and she never came to refill our drinks. She then said it was our responsibility to wave her down if we wanted her to come and that it was a mistake. Really, a mistake made 4 times? To the only family of colour in that section? I really do hope that this restaurant could learn some better values because if you want to bring up profits after COVID, being racist is definitely not the way to do it. I’m sorry but if you’re being blatantly racist to my mother I’m going to react, wouldn’t you? I really do hope that woman loses her job as blatant racism is really not a good look for this company. Expensive bill for mediocre food and bad customer service, definitely not worth it. I recommend going to BIPOC owned restaurants instead as they have common human decency in this new age.

Laurel Sargent

We enjoyed the tacos and the dirty fries. My son said the fish and chips was just average. My hubby seemed to enjoy his mushroom burger. The umbrellas provided adequate shade from the sun outside. Our server was very good. I would return to explore more of the Mexican side of the menu

Edgardo Reyes

Good food and pretty flowers outside

Futago Twinn

Found this little gem in Kingston for a pit stop. Even in the time of pandemic, we managed to get a sit right away. Staffs are couteous. Menu wise, there are so many to choose from. I went straight away for fish n chips (Haddock) + clam chowder. My boyfriend thought I would go for something besides F N C, but I really have to try this and guess what it was delicous and the beer batter is very light. The size of the fish is really generous. We will definitely go back again and bring friends. ????

Mike Newberry

Great service and fantastic food. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back next time we're in Kingston.

Simon Applause

Great seafood. Portion is nice. Lobster roll is tasty with chunks of lobster meat.

David Jackson

It was ok. Dark and dingy inside..and we were seated next to two refrigerated containers. My smoked cod cakes were very good tho.

Anthony Givens

We split the Combo Haddock & Shrimp for lunch -- portion was quite large. Got takeout and sat in the park across the street. Fish, shrimp and fries were all amazing! Highly recommended. We really enjoyed the fish and it was still hot when we got home. Keep up the great work during Covid!

Jessica Frasso

Would 100% come back! We had the fish sammie and it exceeded our expectations. Service was super friendly and quick.

Malin Ska

Food atmosphere and service were excellent

Robert Beaudette

Great Food.

Adam Brandon

Fantastic fish and chips! Probably the best I’ve ever had. Our waitress TERA was fantastic and on the ball. Very pleasant and personable.

Cody Elliott

Hands down was one of the best meals I've had anywhere. The lobster rolls were to die for. Now have to figure out when and how I can get back to Kingston.

유주영

Great for enjoying your food. Great location & patio but the server need to more focus on customer. Even though they have a lot of worker..

S. C.

We had fish and chips, pulled pork sandwiches with house salad, and oysters, they are all delicious! The servers are very attentive. Will definitely come back again.

Eric Hurt

Been here multiple times this summer! I always get a table quickly. Food is always fantastic. Great service !

Rob Huskinson

Great margaritas, should have had a pitcher. Oh yah, the food was very tasty also. It was great to be back out on the patio.

Véronik Brais

AMAZING. For a take delivery, everything was on point. miam miam miam!!! Pictures : fish and chips, dirty fries (spicy and fries so yummy) and tacos (bbq brisket and beer battered baja fish). Everything was fresh and delicious. We also had the fish cake and it was as good as the rest of the order. Thank you very much. I'll recommend 100%

dan zentil

Really bad, Freezer burnt and stale tacos. There's soo much better that deserves your business

mochaguy 22

My calamari was well made and the fish cake was also good. Actually everything was good! The staff were friendly as well

Callie H

The food is amazing, friendly service, nice patio. Food arrived quickly and was so delicious

Marianne Brundage

Delicious food and great service. We had some drinks and apps (tacos and dirty fries). We had stopped there before meeting friends for dinner elsewhere. The food was so good we wanted to stay there for dinner too. Definitely will be be when in the area!!

Edmond Choi

BBQ Platter was delicious!

Robert Zheng

Would return. A classic local establishment with quality food. The fish and chips were solid, though fries were not my style as they weren't the crisp kind. Salad was fresh and tasty. Chowder was solid, loaded with fresh chunks of fish and potato, rounded out with a creamy and thick broth. Pricing is typical, service is quick and cheerful.

Oleg B.

Great tasty food. Ordered fish tacos, guacamole and a beef burger. Everything was fresh and of a high quality. Staff was incredibly nice. This place is one of my favorites! Will absolutely return here many times!

DrIrfanJ

Great fresh fish & chips, shrimp, tacos and dirty fries.

Yishi Huang

It is really good restaurant in Kingston with a lot of seafood choices. Fish chowder, mussels with curry sauce, fried clam and taquila shrimp are so great. All are within reasonable price range and lunch special only CAD 12. I visited Dianne's twice, I will come again once visit Kingston again.

Ali Speirs

Dianne’s doesn’t look like much from the outside but don’t judge a book by it’s cover, walking in was beautifully decorated and we were greeted by a kind waitress and brought to our table. The food, which apparently is a new menu was lovely, the ceviche was extremely fresh and the calamari same, with some hot peppers thrown in that took it to the next level. All in all loved our experience at Dianne’s!

Pack Of Jimmys

We recently tried Diane’s fish and chips. I highly recommend them! The Shrimp were big & tasty but there fish & chip portions are Tiny almost felt like I ordered a $20 kids meal.

Toon Leetoon

Delicious and friendly staff. Will be back foe sure!!

Lena Kim

Everyone should try seafood poutine

Jamie 472

Absolutely delicious! I can't believe we have lived in kingston this long and haven't gone here before. We have gone twice in the last week. The lobster roll on the patio will make you feel as if you were in Halifax on the harbor , enjoying some authentic east coast deliciousness. The street corn, fish cakes and tacos somehow made their way in as the foods so delicious you can't stop yourself.

Саша Кабанов

Popped in for an early dinner, and so happy with the service and the food. Our server was excellent and was a joy to talk to. My friend had the shrimp and a salad which were both really good. I had the fish cakes ( delicious) and of course the fish and chips ( yummy). Thoroughly enjoyed out visit . Can’t wait to return.

Jasmine Jackman

Cosy corner restaurant. Your favorite seafood specials.$$

Penney

Stopped in Kingston for a quick bite to eat on the way back to Ottawa. I had the fish and chips and enjoyed each bite. The fish tasted fresh and was hot and crispy. Fries were ok but the fish was the highlight. Food came out quick and our server was also really great (I think her name Shiloh). Would definitely stop here again if I’m back in Kingston.

Lori Meloche

Very attention staff. Food was excellent. Ambiance stellar.

Al

Nice place to eat. I like to review restaurants also by the way they fix dishes. Daughter got the clams and they were cold suppose to be hot. The waitress was not only apologetic but removed it from the bill. That is how restaurants should do things. I would give them a 10 Star rating but 5 is all that's available.

Peter Fedak

We visited based on the episode of "You Gotta Eat here." Wonderful location, excellent service, and fantastic food!

Jason Yeomans

Great fish and chips, nice staff, close to the water (good for a walk after eating too much).

Simpsy 1

Can’t miss on these fish and chips! Such a friendly warm staff too!

joseph dzikiti

Great service and food excellent

Monel P

Great food and atmosphere. Loved their oysters and fish!

Nathalie Ridgley

Waiting staff was great. The food was tasteful but somewhat overpriced. I had the pulled chicken with fries. It was good but not great. Now the appetizers were delicious.

Iryna V. S

Mediocre food and mediocre service. Was very surprised this place has so many good google reviews. They poses themselves as a kinda seafood restaurant but I could barely find see food on the menu, only few items more like a pub sea food ( deep friend calamari and fish and chips). We ordered tacos, the taste was nothing special, the taco was very chewable and plaine. Butter tart for dessert tasted like the one you get from Walmart.

Miguel Garay

Amazing. Good food and location. We had a nice experience. We definitely going back.

Leigh062

Dianne's Fish shack would get higher than 5 stars if I could. Small mix up this evening as my friend Chrissy and I ordered food through skip the dishes. Two meals were missing...when I called Dianne's, they were so polite, extremely professional, prompt for service. Although the meals weren't the end of the world, they treated us as their top priority. Not even 10 minutes later, one of their staff arrived at the house with the meals. Not only is this the most delicious meal ever, the service was outstanding. I will eat here again. Thank you ????

Daniel Dufoe

Exceptionally good food. Although the gravy was not what I was expecring. Best Caesar in Kingston

Julie Johnston

The customer service was top notch... the drinks were delicious... then the food arrived. Wow. I ordered fish and chips - which is such a standard item - but they took the time to make it amazing. The piece of fish flaked into large pieces, the batter wasn't overpowering or heavy, the fries weren't heavy and greasy, the tartar sauce was fresh with capers and shallots, the slaw was spiced and lightly dressed. Such a simple meal, but so much thought was put into it. The only thing that was "missing" was chef made ketchup. It was a lovely meal and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for such a lovely experience! :)

Zachary Lavigne

Always great food and service

Sam Dyson

Busy spot. Had the tacos, they were good. Staff was very friendly.

Jim Amodeo

We saw Diane's Fish Shack on You Gotta Eat Here and we couldn't wait to try it. Due to COVID restrictions we weren't able to dine in but we did get take out. The lobster rolls and fish tacos were very good. When we are able to dine in we will be back.

Thaya Williams

great food! Tacos were AWESOME but the corn tortillas were a little dry! Service was amazing :) will be back again!

Charles P

Excellent fish and chips! The guacamole was a bit chunky got my personal taste but if you like em chunky it's good! Patio set up was nice and the service was fast and very friendly.

Scott Duchart

Great food and drink selection the food was very good. I would recommend this restaurant

Lyn Averill

Still have great staff and the best margaritas. Only drawback is no handicap accessible washroom, they are all downstairs.

Jim Ferguson

The place was very pleasant and staff was very friendly. Food was very enjoyable and hot, flavorful ,presented nicely , we give the whole experience a 9.5 out of 10. Server was very attentive to us at all times everytime she comes and ask how was everything.

Brent Parant

The fish tacos looked like they were going to be excellent, but unfortunately fell far short of expectation. They were terribly dry and bland. They get 2 stars because the fish chowder was okay.

Diane Palmer

Perfect way to spend my birthday! Awesome crispy fish and chips..

Eric Rez

Excellent service, fish and chips, drinks. Highly recommend to check it out if you’re visiting Kingston.

Jason Bell

Food was awesome and the service was second to none! Definitely recommend to anyone who likes seafood. The Scooby-Doo shots were fantastic as well. Keep doing what your doing. Jason and Dana

Wine & Dine Roadies

SUMMERY of the Experience - Absolute RIP OFF ! NO VALUE FOR MONEY! We are Foodies and travelers with open minds and experienced pallets for flavor . We have travelled the world to try authentic food and places . We don’t hesitate to pay $$ for good quality food and enjoy an effort to put Something marvelous in front of us . Having said that, we are not idiots to throw our money on garbage . After seeing a food blog on line boasting about best fish and chips in Ontario ( one of the places was Hubert fisheries in Killarney , which we absolutely agree as one of the best , decided to take a 3hr drive to Kingston try Dianne’s ( what a let down !) Upon arrival , We were told there are no TAKE OUTS , DINE IN ONLY . during this pandemic time , It was strange and the moment it was said , it sets the clear intention for rip off. Having travelled so far we obliged with anticipation. Staff were decent , our server was friendly enough, checked on us few times . Food came in after a brief wait , which was fine . FOOD - Fish and Chips - not outstanding but OK, nothing more than average. Portion was pretty small for the price you pay . batter was OK . Slaw was not good, almost gone bad. Fries were OK . Nothing to harp about . Shareable’s - DONT ORDER THEM ! That’s where you get ripped off , big time. You get cerviches and poke bowls in a small bowl (around10cm) Priced at $17-18. The chef has no idea about the authenticity Of the dish . Having tasted authentic poke in Hawaii and from many other places , I would say , this poke doesn’t even come any closer to its originality and doesn’t do any justice . It’s lame attempt and tasted like tuna in soy sauce . the smell of tuna was slightly off , which means frozen and thawed. Chowder - chowder was diluted , way too watery and lacked flavor . it’s 50% chowder + 50% hot water + few pieces of potatoes and fish . I mean there’s must be a limit in making profits , don’t you think ? When you pay something close to $60 for a meal , you expect some quality. You don’t pay for hot water as chowder . Overall portions are way too small for the high prices . P.s . Note there’s no parking near the restaurant. You have to use a paid parking spot and walk to the restaurant. I seriously doubt the mostly 4star reviews they have got . We recently tried fish and chips from a neighboring fish and chips spot which served way more good quality fish than this highly reviewed restaurant. If you are hungry or you are an experienced foodie who want value for your hard earned money , GO SOMEWHERE ELSE !

Nathan R.

We tried Diane's three course dinner for two at home - what a delicious experience! The appetizer, trout pate with crostini, was followed by generous portions of pulled chicken enchiladas with sour cream and fresh guacamole, capped off with hello dollies for dessert. Everything was delicious, and the only preparations involved heating the enchiladas in the oven. I would highly recommend treating yourself to this excellent food prepared for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. We will certainly be doing this again!

Vikki Whitley

I tried to order Takeout for dinner last night. You had to call to order. I started calling at 5:30 pm and no one answered. You couldn't leave a voicemail to order Takeout. I left a message asking them to call me back so I could order Takeout for dinner. I tried until 7 pm to reach the restaurant. I gave up. I ended up, ordering from Swiss Chalet. I ordered at 7:15 pm and I had my dinner at 7:45. Enough said.

Fraser Flett-Berryman

Ate here twice during our stay in Kingston and the food was fantastic, fresh ingredients, made in house and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients, staff are super friendly, welcoming and helpful. All in all a fantastic experience from food to service which made our first night in Kingston. You must try the guacamole and the fish cakes, fish and chips and brisket were also delicious.

Devin Runge

Great service . Waitress made our group feel safe and took great care of the group! Food was amazing. Will be going back tonight !1

Angelo Walters

Featured on "You gotta eat here". Should have been "Where Not To Eat" Felt an unwelcome vibe from the time we sat down, should have left at that point. Service was a bit slow, table and utensils were dirty, food was tasteless. Not much alcohol in our drinks. Absolutely regretted spending my hard earned dollars here. Will never go back and certainly will not recommend to anyone visiting Kingston.

Pauline Heart Echas

Server did not want to accommodate our family but gladly helped a white family even though we were there first. We were basically discriminated here. We left instead. Will not recommend and will never try to eat here. —Response—- Our group being 11 was not a sin. We did not mind our tables being separated. We didn’t make a scene. We arrived first before you opened. Then you accommodated the group of 6 after us. We were wondering why you wanted to seat half of us outside and half inside? We said why not either inside or out and you said “that’s not how it works around here” then we left. We were seated fine at the patio across from yours, which was 2 separate tables. We were in the area for 3 days and all restaurants accommodated us fine except yours. Anyhow, that’s our experience from this restaurant and that is how we felt and that is my review. Thank you.

scott Thompson

We will be back...The food was great ...so was are waiter..Lobster rolls...were excellent...so was the chowder

Lisa Allan

I got food poisoning from here and it was AWFUL! I didn’t even eat half of the clam chowder because it tasted weird, thank god I didn’t eat more of it.

Tec Savvy

The place is not bad. I like the jumbo shrimp than the lobster rolls. Staff are ok. The washroom is relatively ok. Not enough parking though. Too dark for me.

julian

good food, average price. we had the tuna tostadas and tacos. it was well seasoned with good portions, but at north of $40 before taxes and tip for lunch, we thought it was a bit pricey for what it was. that said, I'd certainly prefer this place over other large chain restaurants that can definitely cost just as much without being nearly as tasty.

Becky P

Food was good, prices were reasonable

Lynsey Sinclair

Good food. Right by the waterfront

Andre Potvin

its nice place and nice people and good food i went 2 years i a row will go back again.

Victoria Segundo

Calamaris ???????????? Burger ???? Meat ????

Marilyn

We ordered the one piece haddock and haddock with shrimp. Got our drink in a brown paper bag and ate lunch in the park. Food was amazing. Service was great. Will definitely come back.

Derek Whidden

The food was amazing. Exactly what I expect from a seafood restaurant

Derek Beers

For my first time eating scallops, I was pleasantly surprised. The dish was packed with flavor.the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach were fresh, an the noodles were delicious. The price was a bit steep but it was a good meal.

Jenn Cheng

The food here has absolutely amazing taste. I would recommend this place and next time we come to Kingston we will come back to try other things on the menu. The service was great as well.

Joseph

Great food and service.

Busy Mom

i saw them featured on TV, so I gave them a try as i just moved to Kingston, but I was totally disappointed. Lets begin w service! There were 5 small tables w people in the whole restaurant. i was waiting to order for takeout, standing literally in front of the bar table . 3 waitresses passed by while I waited 20 mins, and you think someone would take the time to ask me what I needed. NOPE! they looked at me as if I was in their way.... Not to mention, the look on their face! The guy behind the bar, saw me waiting so long and finally asked if he could help me. he was the courteous one! Then comes the food...to start, the portions were way too small for the price I paid. $20 for a lobster roll, and I literally finished it in 2 bites! NOT BIG BITES! They were ok, but I wouldn't pay that kind of price and service to eat there! never again! Maybe i just had bad luck w the waitresses, but first impression is important, so I guess I wont be going back there , nor would I recommend anyone.. For those prices and the lack of service, I can certainly find choices out there that is worth my money. THUMBS DOWN! Apparently my friend went there as well, and they had the same feedback.... From all the reviews I read, feedback was pretty consistent. I am Asian but have grown up in Canada all my life. In fact, even after the waitresses ignored me so long, Ii was very polite in asking... Advice for the owner, needs to hire some real waitresses that understand better customer service.

Dawar Siddiqui

Unbelievable seafood experience!

Dan Mac

Great food, great service and a menu that requires some difficult choices... We chose to come back for lunch the following day, but we are still not done. Kingston, we'll be back!

amila loku

Everything I got was very tasty. Highly recommend.

Danielle Bellai

It was our first visit and we stopped in for lunch. We're glad we did! The food is fresh, flavourful and delicious. A special shout out to Laura for friendly, excellent service. We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this restaurant! Thank-you!

M B

Very fresh haddock fish and chips, tartar and coleslaw both amazing, the brisket sandwich was also very good. ????

Jessica O

This was my first brunch at Diane’s and I’ve got to be honest, it wasn’t my favourite. That’s tough for me to say because I generally love this place. Eggs Benny was pretty good but, as you can see in the photo, the side was super unfortunate - about 5 tiny potatoes, c’mon now. My partner had the french toast grilled cheese and it was lacking to say the least. HOWEVER, don’t let this discourage you from visiting them for lunch/dinner as I’ve visited numerous times outside of this and it is still one of my favourite places in the city to eat. The poke is out of this world and I would eat it on the daily if I could.

Giuliano Golin

Fish and chips, lobster roll are great, highly recommend it

Old Angels 444

Nice place, waited some time for our food to come, my rose sangria was really good, my twins loved the chicken fingers and fries, my husband his burger, my older daughter the lobster rolls, kind of dissapointed with the tacos, too small, already made, the tortilla not cooked enough (don't buy that plate), the dirty fries where nice too & spicy!!

Ammar Muqeet

Fantastic fish tacos and shrimps & chips to die for. Must visit.

david chang

Good food. A bit overpriced for the portions

Tracy Wilde

Awesome food..wait staff..location..seating was across the street and perfect!

Alan Benton

Good mix of seafood dishes with a Mexican theme. Had fresh oysters and the battered fish tacos and loved it. (Didn't try any smoked meats this time!) Good variety of wine and craft beers. Great location and popular!

Ian Garner

Fair quality but overpriced pub style food. Better options in town, but lovely service and people.

KEVIN GAUVREAU

Every aspect of the experience was excellent Food tasted great. Portions were a good size The deserts were fantastic The young lady who served us was friendly personable and very helpful We will definitely be going back to try different items on the menu
