First time. Pleasant ambience, all service personnel were excellent. Oysters on the half shell extraordinary. Main dishes, one wonderful, one basically inedible. The Shrimp and Grits:(New Orleans-Style BBQ Shrimp & Stone Ground Grits 33 Creole Lemon Butter, Poached Egg*, Fines Herbs) was so spicy it was inedible, and the shrimp themselves were like rubber. Oyster shooter was overly spicy, but the Crab Florentine was exquisite (Crab Florentine* 37 English Muffin, Poached Eggs, Lump Crab, Griddled Tomato, Lemon Spinach, Hollandaise). Very much a mixed bag!
Perla's is always great - great service, food, wine/drinks - the whole ball of wax. It can get very noisy as everyone in the restaurant is enjoying themselves; but, the noise level is worth it when taking everything else into account from food to drink to staff to management itself.
Wonderful experience, my wife has been before, but it was my first time there. Everything we tried, was wonderful and we'll definitely return to try other options. The gumbo was great!
Phenomenal food. Best crab cake I've ever had. Every dish was perfection and the service was there to match!!
I had one of the best meals ever at Perla's. It was a swordfish skewer with chimichurri sauce and crab fried rice. Our drinks and service were excellent too! Love the buzzy ambience.
We had a great time on their patio! Food was great and hostesses were great accommodating our large party
always a great time at perla's! fresh fish that is always cooked to perfection and a great selection of oysters!
Overall the experience was fantastic. Food was excellent and Jacob's service was impeccable.
The food is very rich. And overpriced. Food came out quickly but our waiter seemed impersonal - his eye contact was always fleeting, I could feel that he was in a hurry. Tables are close together. I won't be rushing to return.
honestly the best seafood i’ve ever had!! the employees were all amazing and friendly, best restaurant for a date night <3

Came here with my partner for our anniversary dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance of the establishment. We made dinner reservations on a Friday evening and were seated in the patio, which was well-lit and elegantly decorated. We particularly enjoyed the ahí tuna and mussels, which were equally delectable. We extend our sincere gratitude for making our evening truly delightful.

We arrived hangry. And, left very satisfied. I enjoyed my lobster bucatini and my husband had the crispy fish with spinach. Everything was seasoned so well and plated fully. Our waiter Yousuf was very attentive helpful and attentive.

Love Perla's. The food is great, staff is pleasant, and overall good vibe every time I go. They have live music sometimes and their crawfish boil is good. Looking forward to the crawfish this year! Higher end of cost but worth it splurging for.

I’m from Dallas and I stop in every time in Austin. Love the oysters, lobster roll, pear tart, okras, & the ahi tostadas! The creamy lobster paste is really rich & great to share. The outdoor patio is the best for my service dog & other furry friends.
