Black Pearl - (Near Tyler, TX)

5 /5 Move with the Moon: My favorite restaurant in Tyler! It’s a charming place with exquisite and unique plates! My favorite is ordering a dozen oysters, which are not gulf. They have a great selection of rotating oysters from different locations. I also order the Crab Louis Salad and Lobster Bisque. Both full with flavor and do not skimp on the amount! I will always come here! Beautiful dishes! I have never been disappointed. Their craft cocktails also pair well with all of the food.

5 /5 Derek Nilson: Date night!! Awesome bartenders and great drink menu and hors doeuvres. Several are gluten free since the bread can be served in a separate plate. Highly recommend, cant wait to go back.

5 /5 chris maddox: We didnt eat here but came next door to ricks on the square since they were owned by some person. Great place though for upscale cocktails, oysters or tapas. Lady who waited on us was really nice. Would definitely recommend for dates or business meetings.

5 /5 Tammy Morgan: LOVE the Black Pearl. Food and service was great. Cocktails were spot on, we had the Black Pearl Margarita and a Moscow Mule. Followed that with lobster bisque which is rich and creamy and boiled shrimp. I had the crab crostini which is light and full of flavor. My hubby had the crab Louie salad which is enough for 2 people to share. Overall a solid 5 stars and must visit.

5 /5 Laney Daniel: Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself! THE BLACK PEARL. located on the square. a member of RICKS ON THE SQUARE family. A very high end classy oyster Bar for a lack of better words. but let me tell you, very down to earth feel and amazing, friendly staff. . open since 2016. How I didnt know it has been here that long, as much of an oyster guy I Am, surprised me. Mind you, not just one type of oysters. . they carry many east coast varieties. . to be able to order oysters and to be able to specify which ones you wanna try. AMAZING. salty mariners, black Berrys. China sea, the list goes on. all with with different salinity levels and flavors. . and my favorite. Served with a Nice vinegar sauce and all the normal condiments on packed crushed ice. Super chilled and fresh and accompanied with some wonderful lavash crackers. Theres only 16 Items on the menu. . .and they do them so well. I tried 5 out of the 16 Today. Lol. dont judge me. ha ha . .and all of them were excellent. maybe more than 5 if you count two orders of oysters. 4 at a time. 2 each flavor of the ones I tried. .Oh and plus one oyster shooter as well. . so I had 5 different types of oysters Today. It was fantastic. I also tried the creole seasoned jumbo shrimp. Excellent spice amount to them. The crab stuffed boiled shrimp. Very tasty with the lemon cream sauce over them. The shrimp and crab ceviche was so fresh and light and bursting with flavor. All that was my snacking finger food so to speak. .Lol. But for my main dish. I went with the carpaccio. It was beautiful as much as it was tasty. Done Oh so perfect with the choice of toppings they did it with, very much in the traditional sense. However one twist I found pleasant, was the fried capers. It added a Nice crunch and salty pop to go with the rich taste of the Raw beef. And the garlic toast points were a Nice addition to the dish. So for all you oysters lovers or anyone with a taste for classy food and flavor. this is the place. and surprisingly. . for all that flavor? All that food? and 4 ice cold beers and an oyster shooter with vodka. . my tab was right under a hundred bucks. . . without tips of course. but not as costly as you would think for Such quality. Im highly Impressed and very Happy with this, soon to be my favorite food spot in Tyler Texas. Give them a try. you wont regret it. . .only open Tuesday through Saturday. and only after 4 pm. Tuesday by the way. . Half price oysters. So for you folks on a beer budget but craving champagne quality food? Thats your day! enjoy the pictures.
