Had the chance to visit during their soft opening this past weekend with one of my friends who…read moreloves oysters just as much as me, and we both agreed that it is super refreshing to see an establishment like this come to town. Adjacent to the The Tiki Room, Pearl Divers features a rotating list of oysters from different regions at $3 a pop. We had the chance to try all three oysters that they were featuring for the day and we really enjoyed the palette. The oysters featured might've been limited but they had a major punch to them with flavor. My favorite were the ones that were a bit more briny, truly small but mighty. Your oysters are brought out with the traditional crackers, hot sauce, mignonette sauce, horseradish, and lemons. It was nice for them to all folks the chance to order in any quantity as I'm sure a few folks might be trying oysters for the very first time in a landlocked city. The had a finessed menu featuring carpaccio, tartare, and about ten to fifteen dishes encompassing appetizers to main entrees. We had ordered the carpaccio but it never came out (no biggie, again it was soft opening so we came in with an open mind). Since we got there a bit later in the day, they were out of frites and I am a loyal fan of oysters, frites, and bubbles (wine at the minimum). This just means we'll have to be back. What was most important to me though was the service and how friendly the staff was. We opted to sit at the bar (as one should at an Oyster bar) and be as close to the oyster display as possible. I used to live in New Orleans for a few years so sometimes when it's busier and you're chatting away they'll shuck an extra one to you every so often to try. I'm pretty stoked to see the dining scene continuously elevating and Pearl Divers is a nice rendition. I'll be certain to come back and can't wait to see what a five-star experience is out of their soft opening phase. *** If there is one piece of feedback I'd provide is to have smaller spoons for the mignonette and forks for the oysters. The current sizes are a bit too large and can easily ruin the integrity of the oyster when making sure it's been properly separated and not intact, as well as, not being able to have the right ratio of mignonette sauce for each oyster. The spoon was constantly hitting the mouth of the condiment cup.

The menu was absolutely spectacular and I've included several copies for you to read. I am crazy about Mexican seafood dishes, but haven't been able to obtain them in several years as I'm living in the deep south now. I came here for a visit and oh what a treasure my family shared with me. Please come by this adorable little Restaurant called Lapa Lapa. This was probably one of the best octopus tacos l have ever eaten, tender, and absolutely succulent. The tuna chips were something I have never heard of before. They are very thinly sliced pieces of tuna that are deep-fried with a delicious sauce. They were not one bit greasy, just heavenly. You might want to make a meal out of them, and who could blame you. Next the tuna bites were lightly fried lying on a bed of avocados, these treats just melted it in your mouth. I could go on and on about how delicious the food was. But I want to tell you a bit more. It's not inexpensive, but for the quality of food you get the price is fair and the portions are large in size. Our waitress was very sweet and went out of her way to bring us the things we needed and to explain the various dishes. The ambience is very pleasant. The restaurant was very clean and there was plenty of room. Please give your taste buds and this restaurant a try I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I called a waiter over and he said are you sure that's not your hair because nobody back there has long hair. I had our waiter call the manager and I told him I was offended by the comment. And the Manager doubled down on it! And said nobody back there has long hair! The salad was still in tact. I hadn't mixed it or anything! And the hair was wrapped around the whole salad! And the salad it was in the middle of the table not right infront of me! Terrible!

I ordered the tuna appetizer, and the tuna was very pale in color and did not look like the traditional seared tuna I was expecting. After tasting it, I sent it back, but there was no real attempt to address the issue or offer to remove it from the bill. I was hopeful the tacos would be better, and while they weren't terrible, they also weren't enough to turn the experience around. Overall, the food quality and the waitress's demeanor left a lot to be desired. I wanted to share my experience so others have a better idea of what to expect.
