“ Hell yeah!! The food was fantastic Sea bass Shrimp and grits. The oyster shot was fantastic. The sparkling water was a nice treat. The living on a pear cocktail was horrible and came with a giant ice cube. There was an orange slice in it I couldnt taste pear. I wasnt even sure it was the drink I ordered. The staff was sweet and allowed us to switch tables after complaining about the insanely bright lights. FYI there are no TVs. We did make reservations. I highly recommend this restaurant!!! ”
“ Came here for a drop in late lunch on a Saturday. They had available seats and we were sat immediately. The oysters in all shapes and sizes were amazing, the lobster bisque and fish tacos were awesome too. We will be back in next time we are in town. If you love oysters and fresh seafood, get down to the Brass Pearl and get you some good eats. ”
“ We have not ONE complaint. We tried various different hot and cold starters and everything was delicious. The cocktails were amazing too. Excellent espresso martinis, old fashioned and dirty martinis. Our server was Mya and she was a doll! This was an excellent firsttime experience for us. ”
“ The Brass Pearl was an excellent choice for our date night. The food was top notch and on point! The oysters and calamari fries were unbelievably good! For the main entree, we had the daily special grilled grouper and the fishermans stew...and they were both amazing! The atmosphere was pleasant and calm great for the date night. The server was very prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Well definitely be returning in the future. ”
“ The oysters were truly exceptional. I had the pleasure of selecting from a variety of types sourced from different regions. The service was outstanding. I will certainly return! The martinis were delightful. ”
“ I was in Knoxville for the weekend for work and The Brass Pearl came highly recommended. Its such a nice oyster bar and seafood restaurant. They also have a wide selection of wines, bourbons and scotch. I took my parents with me and we ordered appetizers and wine. Our order included, scotch, Poets Leap Riesling fried oysters, mussels and Oysters Rockefeller. We unanimously said these were some of the best cooked oysters and mussels weve ever had. The drinks were delightful too. The service was top tier, our waitress was knowledgeable about all of the offerings and provided us with detailed descriptions. The ambience of the restaurant was lovely too, nice and quiet with pleasant decor. I highly recommend and will go back if Im ever in town. ”
“ Great date night spot, but be prepared to drop some cash. I visited with my husband for a weeknight dinner. We both had a couple drinks. We shared the grilled oysters starter and the creme brulee cheesecake. He ordered the sea bass and I had the fishermans stew. Everything tasted great, and the seafood was good quality. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy. All in we spent around 225. Definitely worth the trip, will come back, and recommend to others. ”
“ First time was amazing! Thank you to my waitress Hope for fantastic recommendations! Sat out on the patio, cute seating with a nice view of market square. The food was beyond amazing, flavorful and good portions. The prices are very reasonable for how great it was! Ordered a glass of chardonnay, a bump of caviar, oysters and the muscles. The muscles were beyond flavorful, the sauce theyre in was to die for. I will definitely return and recommend the Brass Pearl! ”
