Food was great- Service was fantastic. My aunt stopped through town and we decided last minute dinner plans. We were obvi underdressed but the staffed made us feel welcome. Our server picked up on the fact we will be chatting quite a bit and left us to catch up (great timing). I knew my aunt was gonna fight for the bill but I already told him- I’m taking it. And I’m glad he held up the bargain and didn’t give in to the sweet old lady eyes. She truly is a wonderful lady and you made this evening make her feel wonderful. So thank you to the server from table 209. <3

Perla’s remains one of the best choices for fresh seafood in Austin. Our main courses were well prepared and quite good. Our shared appetizer of fried calamari was not good. It was full of bell pepper slices and lacked any salt or flavor. Service was on point. Prices were on the high side especially now that their menu is more “steakhouse” style where most entrees do not come with sides. I prefer a curated plate and they do offer these as well. Overall we had a solid experience, but at a much higher cost than in the past.

Overall, a nice experience for a special occasion; I'm the big seafood lover and ordered what was supposed to be fresh red snapper; it was dry/overcooked and bland/lack of flavor. The other two in my party ordered a pasta dish, similar to pasta Alfredo; it came with precut lobster pieces (in the shell but fairly easy to remove); Fortunately, I was able to share some of the pasta as these were nice sized portions; everyone enjoyed this dish. The service was very good as was the outdoor festive environment; my only regret is the dish I ordered.
