With an ambience steeped in rustic charm and a menu filled with treasures from the sea, Pearl Dive Oyster Palace focuses on fresh produce and quality ingredients in its welcoming eatery. Specializing in a wide variety of oysters, from such places as Virginia, Japan, Rhode Island, British Columbia and Washington state, Peal Dive Oyster Palace takes oyster preparation seriously, complementing the delicate taste of the oyster. Appetizer options include crispy crawfish fritters, barbecue shrimp and wood-grilled oysters. Besides oysters, house specialties have a decidedly Cajun flair, with items such as seafood gumbo, crawfish etouffee and Gulf Coast Redfish, all of which have an amazing balance of spices.

The rich entrées at Pearl Dive Oyster Bar are further replicated in its dessert menu, with winning options like Beignets and Brazos River Bottom Pecan Pie.

    I began the evening by meeting the host, who was incredibly sweet. I settled at a table and ordered a drink and some oysters. The server, who was both knowledgeable and attentive, offered excellent recommendations on the varieties of oysters available. Later, I enjoyed a plate of delicious scallops. After the show I came to DC for, I returned and treated myself to the fried chicken, which was cooked to perfection.

    The raw oysters, fried oysters, Addie’s mussels, Jambalaya, and Lo Que Los Gatos Sueñan were delicious. The Caesar Salad had no flavor…none. No anchovy flavor…

    Always happy with Black restaurants. Food was reliably excellent if not exceptional - we had blackened catfish and blackened shrimp. Service was attentive, congenial and responsive. Good value for increasingly expensive DC restaurant scene.

    The food and service were exceptional, but the noise just too loud for conversation. Will definitely go back, but not on a weekend.

    The food had so much potential— the oysters & mussels were delicious but the Cajun skillet wasn’t seasoned, which was so disappointing. The service was great and every one was very nice and accommodating.
