"What a fabulous luncheon we had at Pearl on the River! We all had something different and each menu item was delicious...especially the fish tacos! It was my friend's birthday and dessert was served on a special plate that said "Happy Birthday" in chocolate...service was professional, friendly, and not overwhelming. I will tell everyone about this "gem"!"

"This was a nice restaurant with hearty comfort food. Service was good. The atmosphere was noisy in a disturbing way due to very noisy guests at the next table."

"Went there on valentines day and was pleasantly surprised how good everything turned out. Our server was friendly but a bit slow when it came to getting the check. I want to try it again when they are offering their whole menu."

"Spent my Valentine's day here with my husband and the menu was excellent. I had the oysters with caviar which was devine. I truely enjoyed the Lemon pudding cake as well. The ambiance is romantic and I love the dimmed lighting at night. After the evening was over, I was given a rose on our way out. This is a place I would like to come back to. Great experiance."

"One of the best things about this restaurant was the service. The host was very nice and welcoming when we came in the door and our waiter was also fabulous. The food was nice and the ambiance was very romantic.

I would definitely recommend for a date night or special occasion."

"Our food was very good, my wife had the pork chop which was cooked perfectly and was complimented by a really nice bread pudding. I had the Strip and it was amazing, very nice cut of meat cooked as I had requested. Nice ambiance and I thought that the value was appropriate for the quality of the food and the presentation."
