Really enjoyed the meal at Casa Pearl and would likely come back next time. I am in the area. This restaurant was executing at a very high level and it seemed like every dish was prepared with care and thought. The service was friendly and very informative, which was nice as we made decisions. The ambience was also excellent; we sat outside, but would've been happy to sit inside in the lively dining room. The standout dish of the meal was the baked Chincoteague clams. These were flavored with Thai green curry and were excellent bites. The smoked pork taco was also very much a stand out, the smoked flavors contrasted well with the freshness and it relief belt as if this taco provided bang for buck. The other dishes were well executed. A crab gazpacho with grape and other aromatic flavors as the base was well done but there was not much crab and so did not feel as if it was a particularly worthwhile dish to get. The grape flavor was also somewhat too prominent for my liking, but the dish was refreshing and light as promised. The brussels sprouts were solid but not particularly memorable. The oyster taco was slightly overburdened by slaw and proved somewhat more tangy than what was called. I would definitely come back for the clams and the smoked pork taco and would be interested to taste the raw preparations as well as the fried chicken taco next time. read more

Thanks to Yelp for leading us to Casa Pearl! We were charging our car for a roadtrip at the Wawa next door and was looking for something a little more elevated than a sub to tide us over for dinner. The high reviews and the bumpin' scene outside led us to Casa Pearl. A quick look around, we thought that we might have to find a place more kid friendly but the lovely hostess assured us that they were in fact welcoming to the under ten set. So with a few kids menus and crayons in hand, we all ended up having the best rest stop dinner of our life! Everything was served tapas style and service was extremely quick so we were able to get fully fed during out 45 minute charging session. Truly a win. Kiddos loved the chicken tenders, chicken quesadillas, and tostones. I loved my margarita (no super sweet mix here, this was some good stuff), brussel sprouts, and chargrilled oysters. My husband LOVED the chicharrones and pimento cheese dip as well and was happy by how GF friendly everything was. We would definitely come back if we are in the area again. read more

Service was absolutely outstanding, Thank You Ireliz! Started with some proseco on-tap and a PBR ( frosty mug included). Delish! My wife had the Stack wedge with fried chicken and loved it. I had the triple threat tacos..LOL. 1 fried chicken taco, 1 fried oyster taco, 1 pork taco. Yum, the chicken taco had been my favorite and continues the streak..the spice is so nice! Now, the fried oyster taco is giving the chicken taco a run for the money. Perfect amount of oysters and finely loaded with savory herbs n spices. Thank You Casa Pearl Staff! read more

I've honestly become obsessed with this random unassuming place. Everything is delicious and they make the best margarita! Everything I've ordered so far has been at the recommendation of the bartenders. You really can't go wrong but my favorites so far have been the ceviche and the fish tacos. It's fun how they switch up the fish they are using, and I've actually got to try some that I've never had before! Definitely check them out! read more

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: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 had patience going through the menu since I indicated it was my first time dining with them, everyone seems to be polite. read more

What a yummy neighborhood gem! Thanks Yelpers for your recommendations. Enjoyed the fresh crudo that was beautifully displayed if not a very large portion or price point value. My friend ordered the unique shrimp toast appetizer that turned out to be more of a sourdough roll topped with a shrimp spread that was baked into it. So, be aware.. no noticeable shrimp, only the flavor in the 4 pieces. Hushpuppies were overcooked the first time that were returned. Next batch was properly cooked but still very dry and not very flavorful. Fresh oysters seem to be a big draw , wish I had a bigger appetite! The grilled swordfish taco was a good portion. The double tortillas are appreciated. I did not want the aoili, substituted the bright green tomatillo salsa. The whole fish special was sold out before 7, so it seems locals know to arrive and order early! Enjoy! read more

We brought my mother in law here for her first time and let me just say--it was love at first bite. The char-grilled oysters? Life changing. She was mid-sentence and just stopped to close her eyes and savor (I kid you NOT!) that's when I knew we made the right decision in bringing her to one of our favorite spots. I've been coming here with my husband for a while now, and they never miss. We split the grilled fish (always fresh, always flavorful), and we request the chili oil on the side because a little goes a long way. Pro tip: their house hot sauce? We buy it every time we're there. We also ordered the ceviche (refreshing, balanced, and beautifully plated, and their margarita is one of the few in town that actually tastes crafted--not syrupy. The War & Pisco cocktail was a surprise favorite for my MIL; light, sparkling, with a perfect hint of raspberry and basil. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for a date night or introducing someone to your go-to local gem. Every time we visit, the food is consistent, the service is kind but never pushy, and we leave talking about what we'll order next time. read more

Got to check out the patio for the first time on a Wednesday night with family. Place was packed so we ate outside and despite the rain that came in we stayed dry. Ceiling fans need to be on high though to keep the flies away! For appetizers we got Oysters and yellow fin tuna Crudo. Both were prepared well and tasted delicious. Oysters were fresh and the crudo was unique. For entrees we all got tacos: Grilled fish- which was swordfish for the day Fried chicken Oyster po-boy Whatever the sauce is on the grilled fish tacos makes it the superior choice. While the oyster, po-boy was good I will certainly be getting multiple fish tacos next time. My only complaint about the fish tacos.- It seemed a little light on the fish part. Needs a healthier portion. I was still hungry after having one oyster, a third of the Crudo and two tacos and at $40 a person for appetizers and entrées. I feel like I shouldn't be hungry lol Next time I'll be ordering my own Crudo cause it was so good I don't want to share! read more

Fantastic! Another great restaurant in Williamsburg! Be sure to add this establishment to your list of places to visit! Their menu is not super extensive but, it has a lot to offer in flavor. I feel like when you don't have a huge menu, you're able to focus on the task at hand, great food, great presentation, and great taste. Casa Pearl really nailed all that for us. When we arrived, we parked in the private lot. We were seated immediately in a cute corner where we could just see everything. Our food came out hot and fresh. Everything was made to order it seemed. My husband and kiddos raved about the food. So much so that the other day my husband mentioned coming back here to check the menu out. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu u which was helpful. Great experience, we will be back. read more

On our way out of Yorktown, we meandered to Casa Pearl for a bite. We expected a simple, local spot but it turned out to be a lot more. First, fresh oysters of all sorts. I got a briny Mystic, a medium Laughing King (my favorite), a local Minnie Pearl, and several Victory Points as they were half off for happy hour. Add some home made hot sauce, slurp, and delicious! We also got the whole catch of the day, flounder, perfectly cooked and topped with fennel with a slightly spicy romesco underneath. One bite after another and next thing you know there's nothing but a pile of bones on the plate. Add some perfectly seasoned and cooked hush puppies with honey butter and we had to roll ourselves out the door! This is the best part of Yelp - finding local businesses that are doing it right! Five stars...but if I could give them more, I would. What are you waiting for - go visit Casa Pearl and fill your belly! You'll be glad you did! read more

We went to Casa Pearl for the first time and really enjoyed it. We were looking for a restaurant that felt like a beach place, and Casa Pearl hit the mark. They specialize in oysters and tacos. We ordered six oysters, a pork taco, and a fried oysters po-boy taco, as well as hush puppies, crispy brussel sprouts, and cocktails. We had a great time trying the oysters with the different toppings like red wine and cocktail sauce. We arrived during happy hour, so one of types of oysters, the hush puppies, and the pork taco, plus our drinks were discounted. They did a great job of pacing our order so the food was hot as we ate it. The cuisine was excellent! The staff are clearly happy working at Casa Pearl, and they go out of their way to serve you. The restaurant is in a refurbished gas station. The atmosphere is cool and fun without being overdone. The sea theme is carried into the restrooms too. I can't wait to go back to Casa Pearl! read more

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! read more

I've heard great things about Casa Pearl and it lives up to the hype. The cocktail worked well with the fried hush puppies and the freshness of the oysters. The pork taco was good and had a small kick (spice haters should be fine with it). Getting three different oysters was a fun experience. They all had very different flavors. The Victory Points were smooth and sweet, the White Stones were a little fishy and the Pungoteague Creek ones were rich in flavor. The menu says they taste like miso, but I'd disagree - they're more robust tasting than salty and umami. It can fill up quickly, so you might have to wait for a seat, but while it's busy, it's not that loud. The servers also also very attentive, making sure waters stay full and ready to help if you want to order more. read more

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! read more

Absolutely delicious! Quaint little restaurant in Williamsburg. Food and drinks were excellent. Great service!

This is an excellent small restaurant with great options for happy hour that are fresh. I think it's great to see that small businesses can have as innovative of a menu as this place does and that it's not just larger seafood chains. I would recommend anything on their specials menu. Their oysters are also fresh. I docked a point because of the pricing that's a little high for this area but overall a great experience. read more

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. read more

We dined here for dinner on a Saturday night and were delighted with our experience. The food was high quality with lots of flavor! Casa Pearl is located in an old gas station. This creates a unique ambiance and a retro feel to the restaurant. The restaurant itself isn't very big and the seating inside is limited. They do have a nice outdoor patio space though. Casa Pearl doesn't take reservations either, so on a busy night there may be a wait. My mother and I arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. We had to park around the back because the main parking lot was full. It was a busier night and we had to wait about 10 minutes before a table was available, no big deal. The staff is extremely attentive and were very accommodating. We were seated outside on their patio and our waiter brought us waters. He was very helpful in regards to navigating the menu and helping us narrow down our options. He was also very attentive! The menu isn't huge, but the options are diverse and unique. We started with the "Golden Salad". I had read many reviews that raved about the salad, and we weren't disappointed! The salad had an Asian flare to it with a really good rice wine based vinaigrette. It was very well balanced and there wasn't too much of any ingredient. The avocado added a nice creaminess to it and the peanuts provided a nice crunch. The portion was perfect to split too. I would recommend this salad as a starter, it is flavorful and light. We also ordered the grilled oysters. I had never had grilled oysters before, but these were so good! The dish was prepared beautifully and came with charred sourdough pieces. The oysters had a nice buttery, lemony taste and were grilled perfectly. They are a little pricey, but we didn't regret ordering them. They weren't heavy either and the sauce on them wasn't too overpowering. For our main dish we both ordered one of the smoked pork tacos and the grilled fish taco. The pork taco had a lot of flavor with a nice kick to it. The spice complimeted the smokiness of the pork very well. The taco itself had a variety of flavors that complimented each other very nicely. The amount of meat was satisfying and the homemade corn tortillas were lovely too! You could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The fish tacos were also amazing. The fish they used that day was Mahi Mahi. It was grilled to perfection and had a nice charring to it. The cabbage slaw on the tacos was really fresh and paired quite nicely with the grilled fish. We both really enjoyed our tacos and agreed they were both filling. Overall, we had a lovely experience here at Casa Pearl. The servings aren't huge, but the quality and freshness of the food is great! There is so much flavor in each dish and they are all prepared nicely. The restaruant is clean and the ambiance is really inviting. The service is outstanding. I would recommend eating here if you want some good tacos or some fresh, unique seafood! read more

Thankfully, we only ordered a couple each since the filling was plenty. I got the fried oyster po boy tacos, the first taco of its kind I've tried. Mom got the fried chicken taco with coleslaw.

Casa Pearl serves my favorite fish taco in town. Service is good, eating on the patio is nice.

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 was spectacular. Oysters come arranged from least to most salty which was cool. The names e.g. shoregasm, are funny! We ordered margaritas on the rocks and they were nice and strong. Great flavor to go with seafood. We had brussels sprouts and still trying to figure out how to replicate the recipe at home; they were THAT good! My husbands favorite was the smoked fish dip; he said 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 fried chicken and my husbands favorite was the smoked pork! Can't wait to come next time we're in town and try more of the menu options, lovely place! read more

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! read more

Casa Pearl is the pinnacle of fine oyster bars in Hampton roads. The oyster monger here knows their oysters. They are ALWAYS fresh and a variety from the east coast. They know how to shuck an oyster without tearing the meat. The menu is limited but everything on it is absolutely delicious and fresh. The service is never wanting and the vibe is vibrant as it is a small place but never missing a crowd. I love oysters and try them when I'm somewhere new, this place is hands down the best! I usually follow the oysters with their ceviche which is also on point, and finish with the fish tacos. I almost forgot, the house made cocktails are to die for, whoever the mixologist is can pass as the Picasso of adult beverages. Did I say I love their oysters?! On the off time I will order the whole fish. It is delicious as everything else is but you need a large appetite. Please if you like oysters don't sully your soul and miss this place on your visit to Williamsburg. read more

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.

For me Casa Pearl was like a dress on a mannequin that's beautiful but not for me. Our service was good, the patio seating created a fun atmosphere. The food was a great value. The menu had interesting twists on tacos I had heard wonderful reviews from friends so didn't check the menu before visiting. I am not an oyster fan; therefore, I am not the ideal diner for Casa Pearl. The chips and dip were an interesting interpretation: fried pork rinds and pimento cheese. My companion and I order the smoke pork and fried chicken tacos. Both were good but clearly not what the restaurant is known for. The fried plantains prepared as a savory rather than sweet dish were my favorite part of the meal. Casa Pearl "Chips & Dip" -- 8 BBQ Spiced Chicharrones, Pimento Cheese, Pickled Vegetables Fried Plantains -- 7 Garlic Oil, Lime, Sambal Crema Smoked Pork Taco -- 6 Iceberg Lettuce, Pickled Red Onion, Queso Fresco, Cilantro Fried Chicken Taco -- 6 Pimento Cheese Coleslaw, B&B Pickles, Garlic Aioli read more

We stopped in for a drink and some snacks at 5:30 on a Thursday evening. At that time there were a handful of open tables and we had no trouble getting seats at the bar. The service was perfect. The hostess welcomed and seated us immediately. Bar staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and checked back with us even when the restaurant got busier. My mulled wine cocktail special was warming and perfectly spiced. My friend said the gin martini was excellent. We shared the char-grilled oysters and hush puppies. Both were outstanding. The char-grilled oysters featuring lemon parsley butter, Parmesan, and a light scattering of minced green onion or chives were fantastic. A couple of drops of the house-made hot sauce (available to purchase) pushed them over the top. Hot from the oil, the hush puppies were creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and had just the right amount of onion flavor. They were also the right size, enough for a couple bites and not enormous. When we left, the bar was full and there was a short line for tables. Prices were reasonable. The space is inviting and comfortable, and has a different vibe from other places in Williamsburg. They don't take reservations so plan to arrive early or, possibly, wait a bit. My only regret is that we already had dinner plans so couldn't stay. When I'm back in Williamsburg Casa Pearl will be at the top of my list for a full meal. read more

Another visit to Casa Pearl and another exceptional dinner. We tend to make a meal of their appetizers. Tonight was the grilled oysters (always!), baked clams, roasted Brussel sprouts. I added in a swordfish taco and it also was magnificent. Our service wasn't quite up to the excellence we've had in our past few visits over the years, but still good. The food, however, is still exactly hitting the same high mark. Kudos! read more

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. read more
