Pearl and Fin Oyster Bar

One of the best dinners I've had in Austin! We tried the squid ink Calamari and it was delicious, the freshest Calamari in town, the oyster variety is over the top. I can't recommend this place enough. Perfect for couples and friends. We took our in-laws and they really enjoyed it.

I went in for lunch after my workout, a couple doors down.

The dining area is really pretty and pleasing to look at. They also have a patio area (it was raining so I sat inside.

The staff was very attentive. Rudy and Sebastian were nice and able to answer all my questions.

There have plenty of options for $20 lunches (actually a really good deal).
I ended up getting a simple burger and fries- great choice! The fries were well seasoned.
- i think my only issue was being told that there are only so many burgers available (i think that should change, i can understand if this is only because it is a newer restaurant)

You can park in the garage attached to the building and there is actually a door from the garage into the restaurant.

Cant wait to try out their happy hour

2.75/5 stars 🌟 We sat at the Oyster bar, the service was good, food was average only one dish stood out! We had many drinks and dishes with HH discount and on top of that our bill was $207 before tip, which is too expensive for the value in my opinion.

Maritime Martini: it was really smooth.
Downtown old fashioned: really good.
Sea cucumber: it was good.
Extra dirty martini: it was good.

Oysters: we had a dozen of east coast oysters, they were fresh, but not as saliney as I like. I wish they had taste profiles descriptions.
Squid ink Calamari: it was good with the sauce.
Tuna tartare: super fresh & straightforward. I thought it looked lighter than expected in terms of color but good.
Charred Octopus: it wasn’t charred but it was AMAZING!! It was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, including the tail, which sometimes would be chewy.
Branzino: it was ok, it could’ve used some seasoning. The carrots purée was good.

The experience and food quality is amazing!

The service is top notch - our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us pick some delicious oysters when we weren’t sure what to get.

Not only are the oysters fresh, but you also get an amazing variety of various costal oysters (East, west etc), plus the names are top notch, you’ll know what I mean when you go. (Im purposely leaving it a mystery)

The lobster roll actually has a HUGE portion of lobster. (Photo below as proof) They don’t hold back from stuffing that roll, and the lobster is savory and buttery.

The lobster ravioli is creamy and melts in your mouth!

Do not skip on the lamb and COTES DƯ RHÔNE wine!! If you love lamb, you will LOVE the lamb here. Falls off the bone, not chewy and pairs perfectly with their red wine: COTES DƯ RHÔNE and it’s served with a chimichurri sauce

For recently opening this place really nails it! 10/10 recommend

Excited this place is finally open! Food has great taste and portions are a good size. Loved the octopus, lobster raviolis, and mussels. Large selection of oysters, which was nice.

The drinks were good but feel like they are a little steep for not necessarily being craft cocktails.

Hope they also introduce a great happy hour so it becomes a neighborhood restaurant rather than just a once in a while date night.
