Reviews for Casa Pearl in Williamsburg, VA

Arriving in Williamsburg for a 2-week stay last week, Casa Pearl was our first dinner, and it was so good we returned this week.... Last week we had the roasted oysters and grilled fish (black sea bass that day). This week we had fresh oysters, ceviche,smoked fish spread, shrimp toast, and stuffed local clams. Both meals were BY FAR the best food we found in this area, and itranks as some of the best food we've eaten across the US. The chef knows how to focus on the main ingredient and usesadditional ingredients only support the main item to ensure it shines. Everything is house-made here, even the sauces for theoysters (fresh grated horseradish is phenomenal) and their own hot sauce (not vinegar based, but fermented!). Each dish wasspecial in its own way, and we would have any of them again (and again....), especially the grilled whole fish. As if it wasn'tenough to serve delicious food, the decor is clean, streamlined and ultra-comfortable. Every single staff member we encounteredwas polite, knowledgeable and engaging. Our only complaint is that Casa Pearl isn't located about 600 miles north! Read more

Found this place online as a must visit when in town! I was eager to try it since it is a refurbished gas station turned oyster... bar! Such a cute idea. They?ve done so much with the place, there?s oysters all over the landscape which is neat. The food wasspectacular. Oysters come arranged from least to most salty which was cool. The names e.g. shoregasm, are funny! We orderedmargaritas on the rocks and they were nice and strong. Great flavor to go with seafood. We had brussels sprouts and stilltrying to figure out how to replicate the recipe at home; they were THAT good! My husbands favorite was the smoked fish dip; hesaid he could?ve had a whole bowl of it as his meal. The tacos we orderer one of each; all good but my favorite was the friedchicken and my husbands favorite was the smoked pork! Can?t wait to come next time we?re in town and try more of the menuoptions, lovely place! Read more

Interior is very clean and inviting. I ordered a daily special fish spread, 6 oysters and a fish taco. Oysters that were... available that day were not very salty, but nevertheless everything was delicious. Cocktails are amazing as well. I recommend astop if you are nearby. Read more

OMG how have I waited so long to go here!? Casa Pearl is delicious. I just got back from a vacation to Costa Rica and this place... gave me everything I was craving?incredible fresh flavors and delicious seafood. We tried the chargrilled oysters (melt in yourmouth deliciousness), ceviche, and pork tacos. The tacos are big and if I ordered them as a meal I would order 2. The drinkslooked fabulous also, but I didn?t partake this time. I will be back! Read more

If you like oysters and tacos then you must visit this place. Everything was delicious and the food was devoured! We had the... Char-grilled Oysters, Oyster Po-Boy taco, Grilled Fish Taco (it's whatever catch of the day is), then ordered the Grilled WholeSea Bass home for the hubby. Everything was perfectly cooked/grilled. Get there early if you're hungry. This place is not as bigas other restaurants however, there is outdoor seating available. If you want extra spice in your food, they have their own hotsauce available. See photos. Read more
