We Hit Jolie Pearl At Lunch Today

And all was good. We had raw oysters from the Gulf, New Brunswick, and Maine...great quality across the board. We also had chargrilled, Rockefeller , NOLA BBQ , and Bienville...again all were good. The warm, toasted muffaletta was very good, also.
Service was nice and all the sets were on the Saints. It's a nice change of pace joint for BR.

Was it easy on the wallet?
I found the place to be pretty pricey

No, but I didn't expect Happy Hour prices. I didn't check the price on the Gulf oysters, but I bet they were in line with others in the area. You do pay a premium for the oysters shipped in from other locations, but again, the prices for those are in line with what I've paid for similar offerings at oyster bars elsewhere.

how do the oysters from other areas compare to gulf oysters? i am a huge fan our what we have here and can't imagine paying premiums to have them shipped in from other places. that's my knock on that place. good, but would still be good with LA oysters minus the significant mark-up.

Our group liked the Maine variety over the Canadian, but both were good. They are smaller than Gulf oysters. I enjoy them all, but prefer a salty, plump Gulf oyster to most. I did have some phenomenal oysters earlier this year from N. Carolina, though.
I have never eaten an oyster from the West Coast that made me want a second, however.

Northeastern oysters are hands down better than Gulf oysters. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Agree 100%. Cold water northeastern oysters are much better. I'm sure personal preference plays a part in that too though. I like gulf oysters, but don't particularly care for the larger size. Northeastern oysters tend to be smaller and more briny.

I am stunned to hear someone say that they honestly prefer Yankee oysters. You hit it on the head - they are tiny and briney. Neither one an attribute I see someone appreciating in a seafood dish. I just shake my head when my NE friends try to take me out for oysters up there.

Why? They are superior to Gulf oysters.

All one needs to do is travel a little bit to realize how generally spoiled we are with the pricing of gulf oysters.
Shouldn't be surprised if a place offering oysters from elsewhere are significantly more expensive.
I can see an argument that east coast (and west coast) oysters are slightly superior to gulf oysters. Good luck trying to find any of either anywhere for less than about $3 a pop, though. Given that, alone, I'm happy with what we have as every day offerings down here.

especially since we can get good oysters almost year round from the gulf.
looked at the menu $14 for a dozen gulf oysters. It isn't great compared to the 1/2 off deal at the chime but it is still reasonable.
I enjoy the set up of that place too

Everyone can have an opinion. I've tried to like West Coast oysters...never tasted one I liked, despite multiple efforts. And I love frikin' oysters.

Cold water oysters are certainly better raw. They are much more briney, however Gulf oysters are superior for cooked applications.
But a Louisiana oyster, in say, January of a cold winter is probably best on value/taste scale.

When talking raw shellfish specifically, I'd argue mouth feel/texture and flavor/brine are the only attributes to appreciate.
I love LA oysters, especially this time of year. We are truely spoiled with price and availability, but I just prefer cold water oysters on taste and size.
