Casa Pearl is our go to spot in Williamsburg! They have great tacos, clams, oysters ceviche and amazing whole fish in chili oil! Brussel sprouts are amazing, street corn, margaritas and key lime pie! The service is always amazing and accommodating. The vibe is super chill too! Great spot!
In town for the weekend and turned to my trusty yelp to suggest where we should dine. Chose Casa Pearl and was not disappointed! Our server Caleb was fantastic . He is a true customer service professional. Absolutely attentive and helpful! Give the man a raise! Ordered a dozen oysters and they were were divine! Order the shrimp toast- omg! Amazing. Drinks were perfect! Absolutely love this place and you should try it as well!
Fresh seafood! That's what brings us to Casa Pearl each time. We've enjoyed a few trips there. As soon as we pulled in, we got excited - first of all, to find a spot! It's true, parking fills up quickly because Casa Pearl is so popular. There is a "secret" parking lot behind the CVS next door. Right away, Nicolle, the welcoming General Manager, met us at the door to put us on the list. Oh yes, there is a wait often, but it's worth it! Seating has been cozy and casual each time, and we haven't been on the patio yet. But I'm sure that will change. Inside, the walls are decorated with award plaques, and a festive oyster shell wreath. Our servers have been Nazir and Kristen - both seasoned employees of Casa Pearl. They are both attentive to details, and aim to please. Kristen has made some fantastic recommendations for us. Casa Pearl does an excellent job with their specials. They are seasonal, creative, and trendy. My husband has been working his way through their ciders and beers. Meanwhile, I've sampled several of their red wines. There's definitely something for everyone to drink. Ah, let's talk about appetizers! First up, we enjoyed the crispy fried plantains, which came with sambal cream for a little heat and kick. A crunchy delight! Ever seen an oversized hushpuppy? We have, at Casa Pearl! These hush puppies were fried perfectly, crispy along the edges, and tender in the center. They were a hit with the whipped honey butter. Have you tried Casa Pearl's hot sauce? It's the perfect foil to the NC shrimp toast, with its buttery garlicy goodness and rich shrimp flavor. This hot sauce builds slowly, but has some impact. And the toast itself was crispy along the edges. Now, we specifically visit Casa Pearl for the NC Peel and Eat Shrimp, which is my main dish every time. The J&O seasoning kisses the shrimp with that bayside flavor. The cocktail sauce is not your ordinary sauce. All together, this dish was fragrant and tempting. My husband, surprisingly, does not eat seafood...often. So it's fortunate that Casa Pearl offers their famous tacos in both a smoked pork and fried chicken variety. His pork taco was topped with crunchy chicharrones and queso fresca. Hands down, the food is thoughtfully prepared, and delicious! No dinner would be complete without a dessert. For a tropical twist at the end of your menu, be sure to order the key lime trifle. It's a fresh escape bursting with lime flavor! The whipped cream and graham cracker crumbles balance it all. Need the restroom? You'll enjoy the seaside decor, and cleanliness. On the way out, don't forget to look up and see their motto: No grit, no pearl. Definitely something to ponder!
Casa Pearl is a gem or should I say pearl in Williamsburg! My Yelp bestie and I popped in on a Friday night and it was bustling with activity! It's not the biggest restaurant, but they also have an outdoor patio. It is still chilly these days, so we opted to stay in, especially since the sun had gone down already. - Parking - Private lot. Since restaurant was busy, I can see issues finding a spot, so go early. They quickly found us a seat for two and we got to ordering! I was so excited since I love seafood. Ceviche - it was super refreshing and the avocado and watermelon radish was a great contrast in texture. This is served with taro root chips. Oysters - we ordered two of each variety they had on the menu that night, ranging from size and salinity. I love oysters, but I definitely did have a favorite in the 4 varieties. I should have asked which one it was, but it was a medium size and I could have downed a dozen of those! Po boy oyster and grilled fish tacos - Both very good! They come with corn tortillas, and a decent size. Key lime pie - so this is not the traditional pie. It's a deconstructed key lime pie, served in a little glass pot. It has a light graham cracker layer with the key lime cream and then the whipped cream piped into little bubbles at the top! Very light and a great ending to the meal! Grab a seat if you can and enjoy, Friends! Never stop exploring!
Such a fantastic gem in the Burg that many continue to find. They celebrated 5 years this year. Chef Mike came from the West coast with a lot of industry knowledge and expertise of handling seafood. He had an immediate hit on his hands converting a gas station to Casa Pearl. He later enhanced the modest outdoor seating. I've been twice and both times their signature tacos were a slam dunk. But don't dare miss out on their oysters. They are also known for delicious craft cocktails that can be sipped at their small bar. My most recent visit I sat in the dining room on a Saturday evening solo. My waitress was immediately attentive after my hostess sat me. I ordered a water with my drive back home. I started off with a half dozen salty kiss oysters. Then a variety of three taco later. The oysters were fresh and came with the accompanying items to add. Super yum! My tacos followed and the fish at market was my favorite. I finished the meal off with a cheesecake that was the bomb! It's worth the drive from the beach, it's that good!
First, the service: there was a wait for a table, so the hostess gave us a pager and told us it reached down the street to the Virginia Beer Company. So we hopped back in our car and had a beer while we waited for a spot at the bar. The food: the oysters were all super fresh and very delicious. From the bar you can watch them being shucked to order. We also had a ceviche with rockfish, avocado, and mint, that was a pleasant surprise. The wine was also great - they have both flat and sparking rose. Ambiance: the bar is a great place to chat with your neighbor or the bartender. This is a very friendly place. Worth a visit and worth the wait.
This place ROCKS. Brussels, oysters, tacos..OMG! The service was impeccable and the location is very convenient. So the service was impeccable tony B rocked it, arrived at 430pm and was seated right away. By 5 the place was filled up. Small patio, too hot for me though. So lots of great drink options. My wife loved the Prosecco and Billysburg laver was delicious. We had the pork rines, fish spread and the Brussels sprouts. The brussel sprout were the hit of the evening. Next time trying the shrimp and oysters. We had the fish taco and fried chicken taco, I really liked both. My wife thought the chicken taco was very spicy, I on the other hand didn't sense too much heat. Coming back later for key lime trifle and other deserts. Nice to have local....Thank You Tony B.
We have been eyeing this spot for a while, and once I seen it made the Yelp top 10 I just had to try it! I consider it tapas style I'm not sure if that's what they're going for but all the plates are smaller and priced decent so we ordered a little of everything! The Blue Point oysters were fresh and delicious and I love that they had all three popular toppings. The P&E shrimp, tuna, soup and clam bake was full of flavor and very fresh. Great spot for a cute date night! Oh and the drinks are fantastic we live nearby and will 100% be back. -SF
We come here when we are in town to see what is new and interesting on the menu. Tried the specials, clams chorizo and sea bass. And our favorite menu staple - charred Brussels sprouts. We also split a fish taco. Black Sea bass crudo is raw. Covered in Thai garnishes and surrounded by lemongrass sauce, the sea bass is a bit spicy. Chorizo clams came in the shell and were mildly spicy with a nice warmth. We finished by sharing a fish taco. We were split on the taste. It had a lot of flavors competing against each other. Open for dinner, limited craft beers on the menu, additional patio seating, and exceptional service. Trezur was very attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend. Will come again soon.
