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.

I had just received it as a gift. The waitress didn't know how to process the card, however, when she came back to the table she told me with a lot of attitude that the gift card had no money on it. I felt like she was trying to embarrass me and make it seem like I was a scammer. I scanned the QR code to show her that it had $25 on it. She was completely unapologetic, and told me to come over to the register in the bar area to watch her process it to prove to me that it didn't work. (How would I know??) I know the gift card was purchased at this location so how come no one there knows how to process the card? To me that seems like a scam. In the end I had to pay with my debit card.

They didn't skimp on the limes either. The Lomo Saltado was very good. I'm a salty gal and thought this might be just a tad bit too salty. Personal taste though. No need to complain or send it back. It tasted great and I would definitely order it again.

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.
