Perla's Seafood And Oyster Bar

This was our first trip since 2014 and we had a lovely time. We had a late dinner and sat on the outdoor deck on a cool December evening. The waiter was incredibly friendly and gave us a free additional appetizer while we were waiting for our oysters. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were meaty and robust. The fish and chips was good, albeit with American-style string fries. The batter was delicate and flavorful. My wife had the lobster roll and was impressed by the quality and hearty portion. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Perla's was fantastic! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. It has quickly secured a spot among our favorite restaurants in Austin. Everything we ordered came out fresh and was a wonderful blend of flavors. If you have not dined at Perla's yet, do yourself a favor and book a reservation asap.

Came here last night for our anniversary dinner. The atmosphere and food was amazing. One of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had! Only thing that wasn’t great was our service. Server only cared about upselling us and then didn’t seem to care much when we didn’t continue to order. Also got my husbands order wrong but we just went with it since they were small mistakes (we’ve both been servers). All in all we’ll definitely be back!

This place was really good quality food! The drinks were okay tho To start we had the frozen watermelon margarita and the vitamin sea (this one tasted like a candy but in a weird way) We had the ahi tuna tostadas which were really good. The tostadas come with a delicious pepper and cilantro garnish and with chipotle mayo as a base. By far our favourite dish. We also ordered Perla's poco plate, this was just enough food for 2 people. We enjoyed everything from this plate except the lobster knuckles which were really hard to open ( even when it came preopened) And the cocktail sauce wasnt good. Some of the oysters had a bit of sand as well. The clams and scallops were seasoned really good, it was one of our favourites. We suggest you season the oysters with lime and cholula instead of the sauces they provide. It would have been nice to have some tostadas to eat with the seafood tho Service was okay, had to wave down waiters several times to ask for water refills and overall didn't feel exceptional. The place was very dimly lit so it was a bit hard to see sometimes and the place smelled weird ( like something smoking? Idk) Good place to eat fresh seafood!

We enjoyed Perla’s. Food was very good. The grilled oysters were excellent. The oyster shooter was also excellent - a small really well made Bloody Mary with a very tasty oyster in it. Tostados were also very good. Unfortunately, the rib-eye steak did not live up to expectations. Much tougher than should be and cooked medium well VS medium rare as requested. Service was good but not totally on par with food and drink pricing.
