The Pearly Queen

I’ve wanted to try The Pearly Queen since it popped up in my Yonder feed and man does this place not disappoint. I’m finally discovering more quality seafood places and this is a real gem on Commercial road. You can grab a drink at the Culpeper and literally cross the road and find yourself here.

We all started with cocktails and kept the whisky vibes going by getting the Cornerstone cocktail. A very promising start to the evening. These guys are known for their oysters and I cannot stress enough, you have to try the crispy buffalo oyster with ranch dressing. I won’t drag this review out, every dish was impeccable plated and delicious. Whether it was the giant crab arancini, the cuttlefish, or the mashed potatoes in Guinness and mussel gravy! This place absolutely rocks!
