Oyster & Pearl Bar Restaurant

We live in the neighborhood so we are so excited that there is a place we can go regularly. They have great food and a wonderful Happy Hour. They get busy some days so I recommend making a reservation.We love Karen the bartender!! Yesterday Jeannie waited on is and she couldnt ve sweeter. We were a big group and have to say very needy but she was so sweet and nice and took amazing care of us.We appreciated her so much. Thank you!!!

This place must be underrated! I came on a Saturday night & there was no wait, but all of the food + service was very nice. It's a beautiful & cozy vibe for dinner. We started with cocktails & appetizers:- Cubano 75- Oysters on the Half Shell- Truffle FriesThe drinks were delicious. I'm a big lover of Cuban cocktails in general.The toppings for the oysters were unique & flavorful - mixed all of mine together.Hearty portion of fries; perfect texture & not overpowering.Our entrees were: - Braised Short Rib Rigatoni- Wagyu Truffle RavioliAs usual, the ravioli looks unintimidating at its arrival, but is secretly very filling. The sauce reminded me of a comforting gravy.I had the Short Rib, which immediately appears to be a ton of pasta, but fortunately I was happy to share! I enjoyed the savory, sweetness. It satiated my very overdue pasta craving. And of course... dessert:- Banana FosterI must say, I'm weak to only a few types of sweets & banana desserts are certainly one of them! There's something about a Hot/Cold dessert that's sweet + salty, that fulfills multiple senses at once. To wrap up: If you're also a lover of a casual, yet elevated experience, with an enjoyment of seafood + umami palettes, you should certainly be satisfied here. Our waitress was very cordial & pleasant. She made the dining experience feel more warm.

This is an excellent & elevated neighborhood dining experience that hasn't missed a single point tonight. We sat by the patio and enjoyed the warm fire on this cool summer night. This is a nice looking corner restaurant so it has plenty of seating space inside, at a bar and on the patio with different tables or by the fire. Everything we ordered hit the spot. The truffle fries, as a starter, were an excellent choice and they came crispy and delicious. Not too overpowering with the truffle flavor either. Those oysters were also perfect. They come with three different sauces which is a better variety than most other restaurants. Pro tip: add the three sauces on top of an oyster from left to right. That combination tastes so good it leaves your taste buds singing and dancing. The soy miso sauce came to especially be my favorite. The rigatoni was rich and even though they were out of the big short ribs variety we were still content with the shredded kind. But man, oh man, don't get me started on that Demi sauce for the ravioli. It was the perfect sauce to have with the wagyu truffle ravioli and every bite was satisfyingly delicious. Even though we sat in somewhat of a secluded corner of the patio fire bar, our waitress was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. When they sat us down they started with some recommendations which we verified to be indeed good recommendations. Most of what we ordered were recommended to us. Really nice staff, and even better food. This is a neighborhood gem you don't want to miss on date night.

This place deserves more than 5 stars. We went on a weekday night so it was not crowds at all. It was also happy hour. What we ordered: octopus, truffle fries, short rib pasta, kale Cesar salad, shishito peppers, fish, and clams. I was blown away as each dish that came out did not disappoint. Usually when trying multiple dishes there's always one I like more than the other, but this was not the case as everything was equally delicious! The service was awesome. The ambiance is great. There's indoor , outdoor, and bar seating.

Great happy hour Thursdays with $1 oysters and $2 draft beers. Get there early if you want a seat! Excellent service at bar from Karen. Indoor and outdoor dining. Friendly staff.

We visited the oyster and pearl bar this past week during happy hour. The place is very nicely done - not too small and not too large. We I ordered the spicy love cocktail. It was delicious. mango and passion fruit with a slice of jalapeño. Say no more ! And we ordered the tostada with ahi, sashimi, calamari, oysters of course and a burrata salad. We want to go back and try a main entree. Oh and don't forget $2 draft beer!

Came here for a quick happy hour and would absolutely come back. The bartender was so friendly and attentive, managing the bar and high tops next to it. She made sure we were aware of happy hour menu options and the specials for the day, which was super appreciative. For food we only tried the wagyu ravioli which was so good! It's a small appetizer plate but filled with so much flavor. For drinks, I tried a cocktail which was similar to a spicy margarita/martini and then the Old Fashion. This was a small local spot with a cute atmosphere!

I had been looking forward to trying this place for sea food but it fell far short of my expectations. They need better sea food offers on the menu

Despite oyster being part of the name, I found everything else to be more impressive. Oyster & Pearl Bar had great happy hour deals but the food wasn't mind blowing. While they preferred reservations, it wasn't too crowded at opening. There were happy hour deals every day of the week, which included a discount on cocktails, oysters, appetizers and salads. Drinks came out quickly followed by oysters and appetizers. Hot dishes noticeably took a longer time. Our server was great and consistently came to check on us. There was a 3.5% discount for all bills paid in cash. =ORDERED=*Oysters: these were $2 each during happy hour. They were rather small yet very briny. Instead of the classic cocktail sauce, vinegar or mignonette, we were served three Asian inspired sauces. The sauces were watery and lacked substantial flavor. The oysters weren't sandy but each one had residual shell. *Roasted Beets and Wild Arugula: true to its name in regards to ingredients. I opted out of the goat cheese but I didn't see any scallions or herbs amidst the leafy arugula. The beets were sweet and tender although I would have loved to see a greater char. Refreshing albeit simple. *Yukon Gold Fries: perfectly golden and crispy. Strong mustiness from the truffle oil and saltiness from the Parmesan. The portion was generous and would be easily shared amongst 2-3 people. *Sweet Corn Bisque with Baja Stone Crab: hearty serving with a decent amount of crab. The bisque was thick, salty and sweet. Once again the herbs seemed nonexistent and I would have liked a complimentary herbaceous topping or oil to offset the sweetness. *Tangerine Mojito: heavier on the rum hence a weaker citrus profile. Would have loved for some more mint to make this drink more refreshing. *Champagne 95: similar champagne forward with minimal pineapple flavor. Not bad if you want a simple taste but I wouldn't get this again. Overall I was satisfied with my meal during happy hour but I wouldn't pay full price for anything. The fries were the most memorable while the seafood and drinks felt underwhelming. The $2 oysters were lacking especially when other restaurants have superior $1 specials for better quality. Okay happy hour location but nothing more.
