Vibey little bar in downtown Boise. Great cocktail menu. Oysters and super fresh and delicious – I get ~*skeptical*~ about eating seafood in a landlocked state but these oysters were top notch! Nice wine list – got the bubbles to pair with the oysters, plus the oyster po boy and lobster roll were really good too. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was super helpful and friendly (even when they were busy). Would definitely stop by here for a drink or snacks or dinner or all of the above!

The oysters were great and the brut was delicious. We did stop in because the sign outside said happy hour from 4-6 everyday. The happy hour menu said that they did happy hour daily but when we went to order we were told that they did not do happy hour on Saturdays. That was a bit misleading and even looking at their website it says that their happy hour is daily. We did enjoy ourselves and the atmosphere but the signs and menu need to be updated if happy hour doesn’t include Saturdays.

Really enjoyed this place. The oysters were great and fresh but my God those fries could end wars. Seriously some of the best fries I’ve ever had. Thin, perfectly fried and salted. Mmm.
Lexie is a great bartender too!

I’ve wanted to try this place in downtown Boise since Sept., when I had a hankering for really good raw oysters and mussels…you know…your parents fine-dining seafood. When Mother’s Day rolled along (the day before, actually), my husband and I planned to drop in and try the fresh catch of the day — whatever that may be.
We expected a line just to get in, but lucked out when we arrived around 6 p.m. No line. (They no longer take reservations, according to their IG.)
Our server sat us outside, so we could enjoy the view (people-watching) in the cool sunshine.
Definitely order the raw oysters. They usually have a selection from East to West Coast, from CA Kumamotos to MA Wellfleets. We tried both. Both were fresh and cucumbery — signs of clean-harvested oysters. But our new favorites were the Wellfleets, which were also slightly bigger, brighter, and garlicky.
Oysters were served with three sauce: a zingy cocktail sauce, a zingier mignonette, and a vaguely sweet cucumber. We took to loading our oysters with a combo of cocktail sauce and mignonette.
The surprise of the evening…the lobster avocado salad, with thinly sliced potato and beet and a small clump of well-dressed tangy micro-greens. They tasted better than my lobster roll.
My lobster was a tad over-cooked and the roll was a bit dry. I couldn’t detect any remoulade, which would’ve helped the flavor.
We also could’ve done without the Old Bay fries (couldn’t taste the Old Bay) or the chips that went with the lobster roll.
For raw oysters, this is a solid, if pricey, place to go

Absolutely wonderful. Reminds me a bit of Petite 4 with the French focus. When I went at 430 there was already a line and they appear to be very popular already. Obviously everyone is far happier with this compared to the previously tenant Donut Daze (lol) They had 7 types of oysters when I went and they were all quite varied in taste but all delicious. All of the main dishes were fantastic and the sourdough was incredible as it is sourced from a local bakery. There isn’t liquor but plenty of wine options. A very fun place for a nice night out.

Sweet little spot for wine and oysters and other delicacies. We ordered a dozen which included a couple Pacific and a couple East Coast. All were very fresh and super chilled. They were served with a cucumber and traditional mignonette plus classic cocktail sauce. They must have a super shucker because we got them only minutes after ordering. We also got the mussels which was a happy addition. Probably the best moules frites I’ve EVER had! Seriously. Even though they came with frites, we got the side of bread to dunk. I could have drank the broth like soup. Their beet salad stack is a creation of beauty and also very delicious. Refreshing combination.
Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to converse with us about the restaurant and their new restaurant going open across the way. She was not at all rushed and very professional. It’s nice to feel that taken care of when dining. We could relax and enjoy the experience. We will order the lobster roll next visit. Lobster roll! Don’t see those very often and at a great price! Don’t hesitate to try little Pearl. Great date spot.

Extraordinary dining experience. Gracious and attentive service by pros. Excellent and unusual cocktails, given a special no hard liquor license. And perfectly prepared dishes with an emphasis on seafood, specifically oysters. Eclectic wine list that will make you think outside the norm. All around, an exceptional dining experience in downtown Boise at a reasonable price. Will travel again for this!

Cute little oyster spot in downtown Boise – the food was great and the waitress was delightful. They seemed possibly understaffed so we waited a long time to get drinks and then a long lag time for everything after. Not a problem since we were there celebrating and wanting to spend time talking, but possibly something to keep in mind if you’re short on time.

First time here we’ve been wanting to try this place forever. The hostess was very nice our waiter kinda gave up on us and we had a few different people serving us. The food was fantastic the warm brussel sprout Cesar salad was amazing, the oyster shooters were delicious. The shrimp cocktail was very good lots of flavor, if the waiter had been more attentive it would be a 5 star easy.
