Place was outstanding. We were a party of 6, seated immediately. Food and drink were excellent. Starters, salads and main courses were all plated very nicely. There were so many people attending to our table, it was always clear of any clutter and wiped down. The host was awesome. This place is special. Worth many trips back.
The restaurant is beautiful and owner and staff attentive. Went for apps and wine and our bill was $216. It was quite pricey but portions were small.The oysters were not the best and were brought out immediately which suggested to me that they were not opened upon order. The fried calamari were good but again small portion. The meat & cheese platter is not worth ordering since it was sparse. The wine was just a measured pour for $14/glass. I love that you opened this restaurant, I love oysters & I want you to succeed. I hope that you would appreciate my feedback since I would love to come back.
Went with my wife and infant daughter. There were no high chairs but the owner, John went next door and borrowed one. The owner was attentive and sociable. The food was good and I have no complaints. Nice place to go to on a date night. A little pricey but worth it, in my opinion.
My cousin was in here few weeks ago and raved about it so I decided to try this place out. As soon as I arrived I was immediately seated and taken care of drinks, I highly recommend the Peary vodka cocktail to start off (amazing), then we started off with some appetizers we ordered oysters East and the crab cakes that were just to die for and then finally for dinner I had ordered the tomahawk steak for 2 that was absolutely delicious and for dessert I didn’t have any room for so I had to pass but I would definitely be coming back to try some 1000% percent.
Went last night to Dive Oyster House. The atmosphere was very nice, but I was not happy with the food. We shared a wedge salad which was extremely small and my husband had a glass of wine and and he had the lobster tails. I never saw such small tails. They were good but that was it. Everything is a la carte, so nothing was added. I had two appetizers, a crab cake and 6 stuffed clams, both of which were not as good as I expected. I dont drink so all I had was water. No coffee or dessert. We came away feeling hungry. I never mind spending money for a meal that we enjoy, not this time. For what we had, the cost was $135 before tip. Very overpriced, and we will not be returning.
Went Saturday (7/7/21) 4 days after they opened. Good food, great atmosphere and the owners John and Kevin are very personable.Like all new restaurants there were some kinks but luckily the only issues we had were inexperienced staff (something that time will fix) and not the food which was very good.For a small restaurant they have a good wine list with several excellent examples on the red and white side of the list that are well priced.My only question is; who in BC is drinking $400 whites and $900 reds?
Excellent, excellent and excellent. Our first time there. John, the owner (I think) is an excellent host and really does want to give you a great experience. We had the sword fish, fish risotto, scallops, mussels, filet mignon, claims(raw and baked) and new England claim chowder. For dessert we had chocolate cake, chocolate soufflée, chocolate Gelato and cheese cake. Dive has an extensive wine list. Great atmosphere, decorated with posh. This place is a winner hands down.
SMH 🤦🏻♂️ what year is it? Outrageously unimaginative beverage menu from 1990, three veal dishes, most typical name possible for a seafood joint, zero vegan options (I’m aware of the main concept here, but it’s 2022 and 10% of the population is vegan now). Briarcliff will never be with it because the people here are tasteless, rich nerds. It blows my mind knowing it’s 30mi from the most competitive restaurant scene in the country and places like this still exist. Tell me I’m wrong.

2022-02-15A 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 ordered the 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! The calamari was the most fresh, served with two wonderful dipping sauces. My friend kept exclaiming it was fried in original fresh oil and batter. For entrées, we ordered Whole Grilled Branzino and Black Noodles (pasta). The branzino comes out sizzling and beautifully presented. Fish of course, was fresh and fluffy. My pasta had nice amount of beautiful shrimp and chopped lobster. I don’t know the exact sauce, but it was fantastic! For dessert we shared a slice of the berry tart. It was light and guilt free! 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.

2021-09-18Love 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 for date nights, girls night out, birthday dinners, etc. Our neighborhood needed an option like this!! We will be back.

2022-06-03My 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 us about 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 table and put a birthday candle in my dads dessert and gave us a free round of port for the occasion! They went above and beyond for everything to make sure the night was special. It made me so happy and I can’t wait to come back here for some romantic dinners with my fiancé.

2022-05-09Delicious food! We had the oysters and mussels for appetizers and they were fantastic. Make sure you try the dip they give out the bread with. We could not have enough. Entrees were fantastic, one of the top places we have tried. Branzino and salmon were amazing. Lobster roll tasted as if we were in Maine. Tuna was deliciously prepared. Owner greeted us personally and ensured everything was to our liking. Entire staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely go again!

2022-07-17There 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 Greatest lobster role Ive ever had, and Ive had a lot. Great cocktail menu. Definitely going back. They have a kids menu too. Look forward to it

2022-05-23What a fantastic surprise. On our drive from Poughkeepsie to JFK we stopped for lunch and couldn’t have been happier. The food was delicious and gorgeous, the service excellent, and the hospitality genuine and generous. I’d recommend this spot to everyone who is nearby.
