The pasta which is made by hand, is really great adding to the quality of the sauce and seafood. The hushpuppies and fried oysters were phenomenal. The poboy was also really flavorful and filling.

The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. My wife and I often order the shrimp salad, and it's always outstanding. The drizzle they use is absolutely amazing. We've also enjoyed the scallop risotto, and on this visit, we tried the sushi rolls--every dish has been delicious. It's not just the food that keeps us coming back. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is excellent, and the overall experience is consistently top-notch. If you're in the Williamsburg area, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

During our most recent meal, we enjoyed the blood orange martinis, the ham and mozzarella appetizer, short ribs, fish special, and crepes dessert, plus a bottle of pinot noir. The restaurant bills a 3.5% surcharge to support the kitchen staff. I would much rather see that incorporated into the menu prices. I don't understand why it's separate. I understand providing a competitive edge to staff, just build it into the prices.

Thanks to Yelp for leading us to Casa Pearl!…read more We were charging our car for a roadtrip at the Wawa next door and was looking for something a little more elevated than a sub to tide us over for dinner. The high reviews and the bumpin' scene outside led us to Casa Pearl. A quick look around, we thought that we might have to find a place more kid friendly but the lovely hostess assured us that they were in fact welcoming to the under ten set. So with a few kids menus and crayons in hand, we all ended up having the best rest stop dinner of our life! Everything was served tapas style and service was extremely quick so we were able to get fully fed during out 45 minute charging session. Truly a win. Kiddos loved the chicken tenders, chicken quesadillas, and tostones. I loved my margarita (no super sweet mix here, this was some good stuff), brussel sprouts, and chargrilled oysters. My husband LOVED the chicharrones and pimento cheese dip as well and was happy by how GF friendly everything was. We would definitely come back if we are in the area again.
