Perla's Austin Reviews from The Last Year

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. The table had a lobster roll (served cold - wasn't expecting this but a solid 4.5/5) lobster Mac (6/5), clam chowder (5/5) and grilled Brussels sprouts (5/5). Every item was delicious. The vibe was great. Def recommend for a girls happy hour or date night.
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 entrees early, without the sides we ordered. After 5 minutes of waiting, we decided we might as well begin eating before our food got cold. The other entrees eventually ariived from another runner. We had to clarify who ordered what. After that, someone else brought the sides. Our waiter never asked us how the food was. The waiter did ask later if I wanted another drink. I said yes, and he grabbed my half-finished drink and began to take it away. I had to stop him. He returned later and asked my mother-in-law if she'd like another drink. She said no, but the waiter didn't ask my father in law, who did want another drink. I eventually flagged down our waiter 10 minutes later to get that order in. At the end of the meal, we sat looking at empty plates. A bus boy took some of them. Much later a hostess picked up the rest. I saw our waiter, overwhelmed at the wait station as he ignored us and dealt with other tables. We had hoped to order dessert, as it was a double birthday celebration, but by the time our waiter finally checked in on us, even our 11-year old daughter, who always wants dessert, gave up. We asked for the check, which was over $500, including an automatic $80 tip. As a former waiter I would have paid that voluntarily, but I found it ironic that I was being charged involuntarily for some of the worst service I had ever experienced. Perla's has been one of my favorite restaurants. That changed tonight.
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 fresh oysters really surprised us - and they were very good. We also had the scallops which were done just right. Drinks are a bit expensive but you pay for the relaxed atmosphere. We went back the next night for more oysters. Highly recommended.
Make your reservations early! We were in Austin for a
Make your reservations early! We were in Austin for a weekend and couldn't get in. Lucky for us, our call and a plea resulted in a table by the kitchen that actually turned out to be a great table in the restaurant! Three diners. Fish and Chips, Scallops and Halibut. Not a lick left on a plate. Food was fabulous, service was stellar and the ambiance is fabulous. Highly recommend if you are in town!

Let me tell you, at first glance looking at the menu you'll be shook by the pricing - especially for lunch, but once that oyster and red snapper hit your tongue you'll be a happy camper! This place is great hit with outdoor and indoor seating. The menu has a great quality of fish on the menu, smaller bites and larger ones. We ordered oysters and Stephanie was great at guiding us through the menu on what else to order as we wanted to keep it light for lunch. We ordered the red snapper ceviche and it did not disappoint. We did have to order chips on the side for the crunch but they happily provided. Went there for a birthday and Stephanie gave my gf a cute bday surprise and candle dessert. So cute! She made our day super special! If you're going in for specials or deals don't , because the pricing is not cheap but you won't be disappointed on the flavors.
Y'know when I saw the lunch menu prices I was shook! But
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. Our server, food runners, and bussers were experts at what they do. Our table was never dirty, our drinks never ran dry, and anytime we needed something, someone was always at an arm's reach. The food itself is of great quality and seasoned well. The shrimp caesar came with FOUR big ass shrimp. The cheeseburger was huge. This is a nice restaurant to take out of town friends to, it was even nice for our group who lives in town lol. Be prepared to splurge a little, though. For drinks and food for 4 people, it averaged out to $70/pp.

My husband and I came here for a last minute date night (we rarely get these as parents) and we were delighted to eat here. The service was great and friendly, the food was great. My husband ordered the lobster bucatini and I only had an assortment of oysters. We will absolutely be back as it seems a great place for a group of friends.
Great oysters, octopus and steaks.
Ambiance a 5 Wines by the glass a little weak, steak sauces get a c+

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, and I got there first and realized that they would validate your parking for 2 hours if you park in the parking garage, which was awesome. Because there is limited street parking around the restaurant because it's so close to downtown. The host greeted me immediately. She told me that she would sit me even though the rest of my party was not there yet. My party slowly started to arrive, but our waiter, Reuben, came to get our drink orders and answered our questions about the different cocktails and brought us waters. Once my last friend arrived, Reuben quickly took her drink order and brought her water as well. We then ordered appetizers, and we got calamari. I have to tell you, this is some of the best calamari I have ever had. It was fried perfectly, it was light, airy, crispy all at the same time. They also bring out complimentary hush puppies to the table and they were very good. They had a hint of jalapeno, but they were not too spicy. I wanted to figure out what entree, I was going to eat, I was going back between 2 options and Reuben told me I could not go wrong with the sea bass, so that's what I ordered. When my food came out and I looked at the size of my food compared to everyone else's food, I was a little apprehensive. Rueban didn't lie. Ya'll, when I bit into the sea bass with the spinach and risotto, it was like heaven OMG! I've had good sea bass before, but I definitely think this is the best sea bass I've had. Finally, we finished off with dessert. I don't remember what it was called, but it had pears, crust and ice cream. How do you go wrong with that? You don't! Our service was exceptional. (Thank you, Rueban!) The food was exceptional. I would give this a 10 out of 10 stars. Can't wait to go back!!
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 reservations per 4, 4, and 6... since a portion of our group wasn't drinking. When we arrived the venue was 25% full with plenty of open seating near one another... we didn't ask them to combine tables, or do something to warrant what happens next... we ask for tables close to one another so we can possibly chat across the way and enjoy company and laughs together. Instead, what we received was a cold shoulder and the staff seating us purposefully at all corners of the venue. I was at a table almost in the kitchen, the other at the door behind the welcoming station, and the other group was placed in the remaining corner next to the bar. This was so absurd we decided to eat and leave... had we not been snubbed in what was a 75% empty establishment, we all agreed we would've done what we always do... spend time eating, drinking, desserts and generous tips... instead we ate and left... spent our time giving White Tiger across the street our cash and tips for alcohol and great service and hospitality. Considering Perla, the food wasn't anything but normal... and hospitality was the worst! Thanks for checking this off of our list... we'll stick to Uchi, The Corner, Aba, etc... all of them know how to treat a customer.
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 free drink and cocktail sauce to go to avoid us having to make another trip to the grocery store. These kind of little touches make it a 5 stars restaurant for me !

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant

I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.
