Perla's Austin Reviews
The parking garage is great.
It's behind the restaurant down an alley of W Gibson Street. Don't pay upon arrival even tho the signs will stress you out. When you get in the restaurant they have a device on the counter with validation for 2 hours of parking. Just make s
De-lish-us!!! Had so much fun with both friends and staff.
We at so much food, family style, and had a great time. Love this place.
Austin institution, but definitely in need of an update.
We've been coming to Perla's for years , and service is always terrific as well as ambience, but have noticed in recent year the food is just not all that special!:( definitely good, but not worth the price tag unfortunately. Especially the

Wow. We had an off night at Perla's and they made it right. We will try it again next time we are in town. Best customer service I have ever had. The personal touch and service was worth it.

Perla's is pretty delicious! I loveee their herby salad, it's actually my favorite in austin. It's a fun place to bring people from out of town. Great lobster roll!
I keep coming back to Perla's for one reason: the food.
The menu is consistently delicious. The atmosphere is lively, the patio is gorgeous, and the wine list hits the mark every time. That said, the service doesn't match the quality of the food, and it's becoming a pattern. On my most recent v
Wonderful place inside and out.

The food here is great! I had the sautéed shrimp Caesar salad and split the lobster roll. The salad came with four or so large leaves on top which made it a little bit difficult to get to the bulk of the salad and mix it up, especially because we we

We went on the weekend crazy busy! Staff was still super quick and attentive. Food was excellent and filling. A little bit expensive, but was worth the money.
Perla's remains a fave for seafood.
Great food and service - thanks Emma for fantastic service and the fried okra suggestion
Fabulous dining and atmosphere on the Perla's patio
We agonised over booking Perla's vs Clark's oyster bars for this, our first visit to Austin, so ended up booking both - and Perla's wins out! The patio was a stunning spot for an early evening dinner and the food, cocktails and servic
Beautiful setting, delicious food
This restaurant has a great ambience and exceptional service. The food was really delicious such a cute setting. They served me these complementary delicious little fritters with my lunch.
Unexpected wonderful meal
Stopped here with friends when I wasn’t that hungry. Our waiter recommended a refreshing drink for me. I went for the Shrimp Cobb salad. I ended up eating all of it. It was so good. I enjoyed the patio seating also.
Delicious dining experience.
You can choose indoor or outdoor seating with misters in hot weather. The oyster creole and ahi tuna tostada appetizers were excellent. The octopus appetizer was good but not great. The semolina prawns were good but only had 5 shrimp. The German choc
Top notch seafood and great patio dining on Soco!
It was a lovely dining experience on a beautiful night in Austin in Spetember. I have lived here for a very long time and it was my first visit to Perla's! I had two friends visiting from the UK and we had a fabulous time and the food and wine w
It was very busy.
Had a 15 min wait as a walk in. The grits were very good and the shoestring fries. The gumbo didn't have that much flavor.

Everything is too salty at this place.
As a tourist one should not really have seafood in Austin. My better half said let's have seafood I was okay -- that was totally my responsibility.

Such a pretty restaurant! We ate outside on the couches so our table was a tad small but no real issue. It was quite hit outside but the huge trees they have over the patio area really made a difference. It felt really nice to sit out there. It has a
Amazing meal at Perla's.
Loved the ambience. We got Oysters, Ahi Tuna Tostadas, lobster roll, & the burger. Everything was delicious. The service was outstanding. They really celebrated my boyfriend whose birthday it was and it made his day! We were in town visiting and

Loved the outside seating, our server was very nice and friendly! Food was delicious and they were able to make a gluten free option for the Benedict which was amazing. Overall great vibe and I would come back!
Wonderful food and atmosphere
Food, ambiance and waitstaff was amazing! Showed up extremely early for our reservation but they were able to seat us immediately. We both ordered a cocktail which were well made and dressed and our food was divine! I ordered the lobster bucatini whi

Book a reservation! This place fills up quickly (yes, even on the weekdays) Our indescive group opted for the chef's selection oysters bc there are 8+ to choose from. Great choice. So many different to try from across the country. Knowledge server.
Had a lovely dinner here.
Ordered the wedge salad and the fried prawns. Both were excellent. Service and interior styling were both top notch as well. We dined inside, but the patio looked awesome. I'll be back.

I used to love this restaurant, but we recently had a terrible experience there. We were a party of 6, celebrating 2 birthdays. We ordered drinks and oysters to start, which was great. Then it all went wrong. A runner brought out just 3 of our 6 entr
Food is mid over priced and mid.
Flavor just isn't there and there is nothing creative or interesting about the menu. Nice patio and service though.
Chill and eat oysters in Austin!
For our first trip to Austin I did not plan on eating seafood. Perlas was near our hotel so we tried it. First it has a great outdoor patio under large trees. The staff is very friendly and really hustles to provide great service. The variety of f

Y'know when I saw the lunch menu prices I was shook! But the service and the endless hush puppies reeled me back in haha! The patio is excellent now that the weather is warming up. The trees give you amazing shade and the cocktails cool you off.

First time at Perla's but definitely not my last! We found Perlas on Yelp, but we were a little nervous because we went on Tuesday, which happened to be Fat Tuesday, and we didn't know how crowded it was going to be. My friend made a reservation, a
Worst hospitality in Austin
Was setting up reservations for a group of 14. We were all coming into town from around the country to celebrate 4 birthdays. Called Perla and was told we each had to spend something close to $200 per person to sit next to one another. We just made 3
The mahi mahi sandwich is divine
I visit Austin periodically and make a trip to this place each time. I love the outdoor dining space in my fav area. The food is fresh and delicious. I love the oysters and mahi mahi. We were here at a busy time, but our waiter made up for it w a fre
Great Food and Service.
Excellent food, great friendly service, would highly recommend. Our small family of three, enjoyed each dish. We would definitely return when in the Austin area.
A great place for an afternoon!
A great experience. Drinks were a little expensive but normal for Austin. Very good margaritas. My wife ordered a lobster roll so I did too. Excellent. And t h e atmosphere was incredible. A wonderful experience. A little pricey, but an excell
Delicious food and great al fresco dining!!!!
Our co-worker suggested we try Perla's based on the food and location and we told her she nailed the recommendation!!! The cocktails and food were delicious and the waitstaff were warm and helpful with options.
Would return for the seafood.
The red fish and oysters were awesome. Hamburger was good if you don’t like fish. Waitress was awesome. Outdoor seating options. Recommend reservations.
So who needs oysters?
My wife and I don't eat oysters. So why do we go to oyster bars? Because they usually treat their customers to many varieties of seafood. And we adhere to a more fish/less meat diet. That's why we found ourselves at Perla's in Austin, Texas. Located
I come to Perla's for 2 things - seafood and scenery.
And what a time to visit adjacent to Hotel San Jose for SXSW! The fried oysters are classic, a fave among failed attempts, and the wine list always impresses. Zach offers up the kind of service Austin is known for - friendly, attentive, but unimposin
food was so good but was service ok until it wasn't.
The manager approached our table and told us we wouldn't receive our third bottle of wine, which we did not order!! Cut off when we didn't order anything....?!?!
Ambience was good due to clientele and service.
But the food was more than disappointing. The $44 " potato crusted sea bass "with chard was maybe 2 oz. sliced no more than 3/16" thin and 2" x4.5". With potato overlay and extremely dry, not like sea bass at all. The shishi

great food and atmosphere
This restaurant is in a great location. Beautiful outdoor seating. Highly recommend the Fish & Shrimp Ceviche with Avocado & House made Tostaditos. Grilled Mahi sandwiches just OK. Good oysters. Good food but a bit over priced.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Perla's Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Perla's Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Perla's Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Perla's Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
