Pearl and Mary Oyster Bar

My man and I were looking for a some good oysters and really enjoyed the selection here. As mentioned in other reviews the crab dip was delicious, but the highlight was the Prince Edward Island oysters! Cocktails were fairly priced, and service from Natalia and Andrew at the oyster bar was also a pleasant surprise! Wish we had more time in Philly to comeback and enjoy the happy hour, which looks looks like great deal.

waited 20 minutes before ordering, repeatedly calling the waiters over to place my order. They waited until exactly 7 to come and tell me that the happy hour ended at 7.

Just came into Philadelphia to visit my family for a few days. Was staying downtown and wanted oysters. Checked out this spot and was completely disappointed to the point I wanted to walk out.. I walked in, the host was reading a book and never acknowledged me. I sat at the bar and I ordered a dozen oysters which were good but not great. I ordered a Cesar salad with crab meet after. I told the bartender that I had to use the rest room. When I got back, everything was gone and cleaned up. He had no response when I got back. One bartender was just cleaning the whole time and the other bartender was just on his phone and talking to friends/employees that were sitting at the bar. He was completely rude to me and others next to me that complained about the food. Back to my food…a Caesar salad with crab meat that cost 16 dollars extra. Where is the crab meat? Completely unacceptable. Terrible service, bad food…. 95 dollars for a dozen oysters, a salad, and a glass of wine. On top of that.. they ask for a credit card as soon as you sit down. Is that the norm here? I really don’t know. No surprise this restaurant was empty. Spend your money elsewhere and you will thank me later.

Packed to the brim at happy hour, but the quality of the food was worth it. Despite the crowdedness at the peak of happy hour, we were still served instantly. Food came out ridiculously quickly for us. Granted the food came out raw, but that's a good thing in this case haha

Had an absolutely divine happy hour experience - the freshest oysters and the most delicious cocktails - cheers to our awesome and wholly attentive bartender man - highly recommend the salmon crudo and the shrimp toast!

We went last night for our anniversary and loved the ambience and had a wonderful waiter. (Cannot remember her name unfortunately) 0yster Rockefeller and mussel toast were very good. Entree: My partners mussels were bland and slightly fishy. I ordered the Bronzino (tiny serving and an odd presentation) which had not been boned properly and a bone pierced my lip. I returned it (which I never do) and ordered a sushi option. With 2 drinks each and tip, the meal was close to 180.00. It did not feel like a 180.00 weeknight experience and I was still hungry when I got home.

Make there own prices and therefore inconsistent on bat drinks!! Foods dry again and inconsistent

Went in for the happy hour which is pretty good you can tell they rush it inconsistent I've been there quite a few times each time is a different experience with the food small portions for the happy hour but it gives you an opportunity to taste some of what they can do so it was pretty decent burger was undercooked.. I guess they think they're doing you a favor I hate that you run a happy hour like you know we're cheap people there just for that know it's a promotion like I said to them you know I wanted to try the lobster roll I want it I wanted to at that point just get a drink...$16 for A small vodka and pineapple 🍍 Like whaaat..!! So just kind of threw me off I left a mediocre tip for mediocre service passive service!!

The service was great. On busy nights - even with a reservation - expect to wait 10-15 min. Beautiful space, the food was ok for the price. I would recommend coming here for the oysters 🦪 lesson learnt - try the daily happy hour first, to decide if you want to commit to a full dinner.

Very tasty food, especially the oysters. They were fresh and safe. I recommend the dirty martini and the oysters. Crab legs were a bit on the small side. Excellent service.

Went twice. Both times service seemed untrained and some of them rude. 2nd time they took wine back from another table and served it to us. Absolutely disgusting in my opinion.
