About Casa Pearl

Casa Pearl provides an upscale dining experience in a casual atmosphere. The menu features a variety of dishes, including hush puppies, a golden salad with fried oysters, baked clams, and fish tacos. The restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients and artful presentation, ensuring flavorful meals. Guests can enjoy great cocktails, beers, and friendly service from knowledgeable staff, creating a wonderful dining experience.

The restaurant is praised for its exceptional oyster selection, with the oyster monger's expertise in sourcing and shucking the freshest oysters from the East Coast. The limited menu is consistently delicious and fresh, with the ceviche and fish tacos standing out. The house-made cocktails are highly regarded, with the mixologist's skills likened to an artist. Customers have shared their delight with the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service, noting they can enjoy a whole fish dish if they have a large appetite. The restaurant is recommended for its commitment to quality and fresh ingredients.

Recent reviews highlight that every item was absolutely delicious, especially the fish taco and char grilled oysters, which are among the best dishes experienced in a while. Visitors have felt very welcomed, even when arriving close to closing time with a tired child. Others have praised the po’boy taco, fresh oysters from Maine, and a smoked fish appetizer. The staff was accommodating and knowledgeable, especially helpful for those with food allergies.

On a second visit, guests enjoyed fried Brussels sprouts and shrimp toast, both thoughtfully prepared and flavorful. The tacos—pork, chicken, and fish—were packed with flavor, though one tortilla was slightly burnt. Drinks like Pinot Noir were fresh and enjoyable. However, there was disappointment over a three-dollar charge for soda water, which felt unnecessary and out of step with the overall care and hospitality of the restaurant.

Overall, Casa Pearl continues to deliver excellent food and friendly service, with some customers hoping they will reconsider small charges like the soda water fee in the future.
