I absolutely love the atmosphere. The way they transformed a vehicle garage into such a nice, distinctive restaurant space is awesome and creative. Beyond the great interior, the food delivers: the fish was real good and tasted fresh. Highly recommended for a delicious meal in a unique setting!

We've been eating here since it opened in 2018 and it never fails to exceed expectations! The food is always extremely fresh, the staff are uniformly fabulous, and it's just a nice, uncomplicated, chill place to hang with friends while eating delicious food. Today our server was John and he went above and beyond the standard excellence of the servers - friendly & knowledgeable, even though his station was hopping. Always a solid choice for good eats. I had the ceviche (forgot the photo) and the crispy Brussels sprouts. Ceviche was light and refreshing, the sprouts tangy and crisp. Hubby had three different tacos - swordfish, pulled pork, and fried oysters. They disappeared very quickly. Our friends shared the day's fish special, charred sea bass over veg, also demolished quickly. Dessert was Key Lime trifle - we ordered one with four spoons and let's just say it didn't last long as we passed it around the table. Get there when they open to assure a seat as they do not take reservations. But I guarantee you will walk out with an extremely happy tummy!

The staff is as amazing as the food. Honestly the most attentive staff and the cleanest oysters !
Pricey but delicious so it’s worth it. Including the drive from VA Beach to get here. Cute part of town, seems like it’s a strip of Merrimac trail that has small quaint restaurants.
I ordered their whole fish with chili oil. It was served with shaved fennel, rosemary, micro greens, Brussels sprouts. They serve the fish head and tail on, I enjoyed it very much since I get to debone the fish which was super fresh. $31 for a small fish! I ordered their oyster po boy taco which had 3 fried oysters served on two tortillas and fresh cabbage, etc. Both dishes had a tad bit too much lemon/citrus taste and after taste. I just wish the fried oysters were placed on top of the veggies and sauce so they could stay crunchy and not soggy! The service was great, my server was patient going through the menu since I indicated it was my first time dining with them, everyone seems to be polite.

Fresh, modern decor ( love the spring /fall when the “doors” are open!), consistently delicious seafood centric menu - small & well executed with special features, great cocktails ( the margarita and when available the grapefruit/jalapeño Paloma, and a well-trained hospitality focused team- 5 stars! The only way to improve round ne to add coffee service and vary a bit on a dessert offering.

We stopped in for a quick bite and a drink. Really enjoyed the tuna crudo, probably one of the best dishes I've had all year. A nice balance of flavors and textures. Oysters were pristine and the brussels sprouts were the best I've had in many years. Thanks, Casa Pearl for caring about the food you serve!

Best meal I had in Williamsburg hands down! The fresh oysters on the half shell were great, as were the accompaniments (I think they make their own hot sauces). Chargrilled oysters were really good too (not Drago's, if you know you know!). And the tacos were delicious. Very flavourful! My only issue was being too full to try more of the menu. Will definitely return!

I had an amazing dining experience at Casa Pearl in Williamsburg, Virginia! Our server, Ricky, was outstanding and made the experience even better. The parking was convenient, and we were seated quickly. The food was delicious, especially the whole fish, and the overall price was very reasonable, even with drinks, appetizers, and oysters. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

The hush puppies were very different compared to the ones I have had from other places, but were delicious. The char grilled oysters and fish dip, my husband loved them! I got the fish taco and it was pretty tasty. Super unique place. Not a lot of indoor seating.

Right in the heart of the Edge District, Casa Pearl is easily one of our favorite spots in town. Every time we go, the food is absolutely flawless — that perfect mix of classic, trendy, and fresh that just doesn’t miss.
The ceviche and brussel sprouts are non-negotiable. Bright, bold, crispy, addictive! We’ve never left so much as a crumb on the plate. The spicy margaritas? Undisputed champs. Best in Williamsburg, no contest. And the oysters? Always ice-cold, clean, and briny perfection.
If you’re in the area and not stopping here, you’re missing out.
