Pearl's Oyster House

Enjoyed a full order of oysters on the half shell. Service was quick and spent time watching the Astros vs. Mariners while we watched our food being prepared.

Food started strong with delicious appetizers (crayfish dip and fried crayfish tails), but then declined with the 'so so' oyster sampler (1/3 were amazing, 1/3 ok and the other 1/3 were drowned in chili sauce, where any semblence/taste of oyster was totally lost). Main courses (surf n turf, and grouper platter) had so much seasoning it was barely edible. Why mask the flavor of good quality fish, lobster tails or steak???? This is definitely a case of "less is more", where spices should complement (not overpower) the natural flavors. Sides were disaapointing...grits (oddly) had no flavor or seasoning while coleslaw was already spoiled. Staff service was not terrible but far from good. Had to repeatedly ask for refills, seating 2 people at booths, and asking those 2 to move when 5 people arrived, and adding meals to bill (seemed to know already, you just had to call them out on it). Overall, if wanting seafood, there are better options

Went at lunch time!! They were not busy!! Waitress was very attentive. I ordered the oyster sampler plate and vegetable pasta (added chicken). Both were very delicious! The oysters were so good that I had to order a second serving!!! I will definitely be going back!!
