Pearlz Oyster Bar

Great locals place for great, very fresh seafood.
Oysters, various ways, are the big draw, but they have alot more than that.
They have a very good menu variety of seafood.
We visited on a weekend right before the big dinner rush.
We had reservations, which are suggested, so we got seated pretty quickly.
The waiter was great, very friendly, quick, and very responsive, taking our drink order quite quickly after being seated.
Drinks arrived within 5 minutes (I ordered an old fashioned so the time was expected), then they took our food order.
I got the grilled Mahi tacos, my wife got the monkfish special of the day, one of my sons got the fried shrimp dinner, and the other son got the crab cake sandwich.
We also got the char broiled oysters as an appetizer (with NOLA butter and parmesan cheese).
The oysters appetizer came out in about 10 minutes and they were AMAZING!! We regretted not ordering more.
Both sons tried oysters for the first time with these and loved them! They're hooked! The reat of our food order came out about 10 minutes after the oysters.
Everything was GREAT! Very fresh and flavorful.
Perfectly cooked.
So good I don't think either teenage son chewed their food much, rather they inhaled everything and coughed out the plate.
Ha! We were very satisfied with our food.
Portions were ample enough to fill you up.
Overall we felt the prices weren't that bad at all, considering the quality, freshness, and flavor its a great value.
Facilities were clean and well maintained.
Everyone there was very friendly and were very good at their job.
Only knock is limited parking.
I can see why this place is so popular.
Between the facilities, staff, and, most importantly, the food, they're definitely doing things right.
We will definitely return when we're in the area, and recommend to family and friends.

My family of 4 loved this place.
Everyone loved their food.
The service was friendly .
We had chargrilled oysters, vodka oyster shooters, gumbo, shrimp and grits, grilled sword fish, and lobster roll.
Everything was amazing!

The only decent dish at Pearlz were the oysters.
The service was disappointing, as we were given just one glass of water to share between two people.
The halibut was particularly terrible and, to make matters worse, we were charged $2 more than the listed price.
I recommend avoiding this place due to its poor service and subpar food.
Overall, it felt like a ripoff. Please notice in their response how the owner does not acknowledge or apologize for their dishonest and inaccurate menu prices.
If getting scammed is your forte, this is your place!
