    Excellent food and outstanding and courteous service. Highly recommended. We sat in the open air room and temperature was perfect for dining al fresco. The redfish on the half shell was phenomenal and the ceviche was top notch...

    Perla’s food and service are always wonderful. Today’s server, Kristen, upped the bar. She was fantastic. It was a gorgeous day, so the deck was packed but we had a relaxed, easier to talk and to “take our time” lunch with an old friend in from out-of-town inside. Insanely yummy oyster po’boy. Love you Perla’s.

    The scallops were perfectly prepared - sweet tender but firm with crispy pepper to give it some extra crunch. The oak fired oysters were wonderful along with the seafood pozole.the surprise was the Texas chilled green beans with Amarillo aji aoli with drizzle of tamari honey - best green bean dish. Don’t forget to try the banana dacqueri - yummy and not too sweet. The service was impeccable. Definately would come back

    The service was amazing and the seafood exceeded my expectations! The lobster roll was fresh and of great quality and the oysters tasted like came straight from New Orleans!

    Excellent food and exceptional service. Evan was amazing. Such a lovely way to celebrate our anniversary, especially with the thoughtful, complimentary glasses of bubbles. This is why Perla’s is always our go to place for celebrations. For those that haven’t tried it yet, the octopus is incredible. Always a lovely experience.
