Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pearly Queen is a seafood lover's paradise with "outstanding" fish dishes and "exceptional" service. The "sublime" buffalo oysters and innovative flavors make it a must-visit. While some found the atmosphere lively and service occasionally slow, the restaurant consistently impresses with its "beautifully presented" food and attentive staff.

    Love our experience here! Service was brilliant, we had an overall 3 servers approach our table which supplied us with explanations of dishes as well as a great casual conversation. One of our dishes was unfortunately under cooked however when this happened we were provided with a fresh dish as well as fresh sides, on top of this we’re given a refresh of our wine, this made us very happy. We left so full and pleased, we will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend for any new future guests!! Shout out to Luca and Davide as well!

    Always magic. The oysters are exceptional - the best you’ll eat. No doubt. I can’t see how anyone would be even mildly disappointed with this little gem. Wonderful stuff.

    The food was excellent. The service was not. The welcoming was okey, then the bartender/waiter presented the meny in a speedy Gonzale’s way. The most junior waitress then served our table. She was really humble, and tried her best. On this quite calm Friday evening, it was 1-2 out of 4 waiters who served the tables. There interest was not to refill our wine glasses, but chatting to each other was.
