This place is the best! We've been here a few times and we're slowly making our way through the menu and it's all delicious, truly! Oyster happy hour is our favorite. We've had a hard time finding fresh (affordable) oysters in Wilmington but now we know where to go. Again, this place is amazing and we love it! Also, Chris makes the best filthy martini!

Loved the decor, food and service but very very loud. Went back for lunch and it was much quieter and more enjoyable experience.

Came on a crowded Saturday night & was happily surprised that we instantly got seated. The restaurant looked nice and clean. The waitress was kind and attentive.
Had the tuna tartare and it was so delicious. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It’s one of the best dishes I’ve tried in Wilmington. The dish was cohesive and every component was very flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had.
We also had the flounder, which was great. Flounder itself isn’t very flavorful, but the seasoning and other elements of the dish really made it nice.
My only regret is that I didn’t discover this restaurant sooner.

Oh my goodness, what a gem Paul was for us! So lovely to enjoy some oysters and champagne al fresco. Paul was accommodating and knowledgeable and brought a playfulness unique to him! We even all shared photos of our puppers. Everything we ordered was fresh amd the courses were spaced out perfectly.

So delicious! Jasmine was so lovely and accommodated our larger party. Definitely recommend the ceviche and fish tacos. Very impressed as a New Englander visiting family in Wilmington.

The flounder and ham were excellent. The red peas were very undercooked and hard. They needed to be cooked another hour or two. I would go back again for another try.

This was our second time visiting this restaurant and, again, the food did not disappoint. Our table had a variety of items including cornbread, steak with truffle fries, a salad with grilled chicken and the fish tacos with salt and vinegar chips. Also had their house red wine and it was good. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining. Inside, the bar is in the dining room and it is pretty loud and made it harder to hear everyone at the table. Something that is pretty nice is the bar opens to an outdoor bar and sitting area. It was pretty cold outside but the restaurant had heaters. Despite the cold, this area was being utilized and enjoyed by the clientele. We’ve also been here for brunch and again, the food was excellent. Definitely need to have Perla on the list of restaurants to visit in the Wilmington area.

My family dined at Perla yesterday afternoon and it was spectacular! The decor was amazing - a mix of bohemian, eclectic, and nautical that was also very cozy. Our server was attentive and very helpful and Chef John shared some extras that made us feel special. The food was excellent as were the drinks! Will definitely be back!
