    We had a great time! This was my second time at Perla’s and the food always slaps. Our server was also great and kind. Food quality is always a 12/10 and definitely get the fresh oyster shooters - some of the best oysters I’ve ever had.

    We loved everything about Perla's! The shrimp and crab gumbo was fantastic, especially on a cold and windy day.

    My husband and I dined here to celebrate his birthday which was acknowledged by all. Chip, our waiter, provided excellent service. The crab wedge salad was superb. We enjoyed the burger and tile fish too! The butterscotch pot de crème is the best dessert in Austin. We will be back!

    Our table was right next to a door that was constantly being utilized. Other than that, it was great.
