Good food, nice atmosphere on the water. Service a little slow.
Great view, great food. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed their great oyster program, plus a combination of seafood and steak for our entrees - everything was delicious. Service couldn't have been better. Good COVID protocols in place.
Food was fantastic. Manager gave us a free round of drinks because we had to wait a very short time to be seated for our reservation.
I absolutely love this place❤️. Food is delicious, fried clams are the best (really), beautiful view, and nice people! Don’t want to say any more or I may not get a table😅
We were there on Easter. My sword fish dish was less than I expected. The Escarole was dry and the Cauliflower rice didn't have much flavor. As usual the Clam Chowder was on par.
Lamb was beyond delicious sides ciuld have been better
CK Pearl remains one of my favorite North Shore dining spots. Looking forward to summer dining outside.
We all had seafood which was great! Would like to come back and try the ramen, although we found the mix of things on the menu a little funny, but if they're good, I guess who cares! Just don't expect there to be a wide range of seafood options. Some of the best fried haddock and swordfish around. All plates went back empty.
food was great, nice menu, very pleasant, super nice waitress
Never disappoints!
Mussels delicious, oysters small, barb que excellent , kale Caesar very good
Delicious blue fish pate app and mussels were fabulous!
Always a great place to eat. Consistently good
Great Food, Great Staff. We had a great time the salad was perfect as was the lobster roll and fish and chips.
Always a favorite neighborhood spot long before COVID, this wonderful restaurant has been an island of normalcy during a very difficult time. Safe, spotless, beautifully managed to ensure public health at the highest levels the food and service are amazing. Five stars isn't enough! Ten stars!
Delicious food, yummy drinks, and a very friendly staff! Had a wonderful night there.
The location is fantastic and their food is really fantastic. They have really great BBQ, they smoke the meats and they have some really cool menu items (in addition to the seafood). The staff is very nice too, we always have a good experience there.
Good food and nice view.
The Fondue is the best!! Also love the Kale Caesar Salad with blackened chicken or steak tips. Totally delicious. They also make a great drink! One of my favorite places to enjoy a Titos Cosmo!
YOU HAVE TO GET THE FONDUE!!!!!!
I have been to C K Pearl many times, but I just had the best meal there ever. Thank you so much!
We got a table by the Essex River at Sunset. Need I say more? Ok I will, we had Abi as a waitress and she is terrific. Our first visit to CK so she made some suggestions. Mussels as an appetizer is a must, although we went were told by a friend to our cheese fondue. Entrees were great, Haddock for my wife and Smoked Brisket for myself.
Background music was great and low volume. Heading back for our son’s birthday dinner.
great lobster benedict and signature BEACH WATER cocktail
Food was great, but took 20+ minutes for a server to approach our table.
Terrible food. And I am not a picky eater. The wings were served in a pool of bleu cheese. I love wings, but hate bleu cheese. My daughter is lactose intolerant. So for those of us who love wings, but can’t eat bleu cheese, the wings were impossible to eat. They don’t even tell you that the wi fa are served swimming in bleu cheese. Yuck! The clam chowder was less than room temperature, and was super thick - almost fluffy thick. I’ve never seen chowder like that before. The Caesar salad dressing was swimming with anchovies . This restaurant needs a new chef.
Hostess was surly and rude. I was expecting a nice lunch but ended up seated facing the coffee station even though other tables were available.
We had a terrific meal at CK Pearl. The fondue is amazing and we always order it, wings were terrific. We also got burgers, excellent. And for dessert we got the cookie skillet which was a bit different than the typical cookie skillet - but delicious.
We have been fans of CK's for a very long time, but we've also taken a break over the last few months. This was a return to "date night" with my wife of 45 years and a return to CK's. Pat Shea (Chef and Owner) did not disappoint. In fact, it reinforced that the best food on Boston's North Share was right there. PLUS our waitress, Marley, was absolutely wonderful. Fun, easy-going, great service, and learned how to pour Guinness in Ireland.
Amazing as always. Everything was perfect
A bit pricey, great service but overall a good experience.
This is a go to neighborhood spot for us under normal circumstances but during COVID even more so. Owner/Chef Pat Shea manages to combine superb food with impressive service in an environment that could not be safer or more comfortable. Extra points for Abby's divine cocktails, those delish Korean short rib tacos and desserts that are off the charts. And then there's the view! You'll love it!
This was one of the best dinners we have enjoyed in the last year. I had a delicious house Chardonnay , a taste of the coconut shrimp , and the most wonderful short ribs. Great dinner...will be back soon!!!!
Just stopped in for some oysters, great clam chowder and a beer while giving a visitor a tour of the North Shore. Oysters are always fresh and the clam chowder is the best around - one of our favorite places to eat no matter what season
Love it! Never a bad meal, great service
Absolutely delicious
we love CKPearl. whether for a special event (Valentines and New Years Eve this year) or "just" a lovely dinner out, it is our go to place. In the summer the outside waterfront tables are lovely or inside waterview during the cold. Exceptional food all the time and very special specials. Last time it was venison, but always their outstanding clam chowder that comes with a couple extra fried clams on top.
we felt very safe and comfortable by their stringent covid protocols but at ease at the same time.
Always exceptional. Pat and Tom
We have been going here for years and it has always been great. It’s one of my wife’s favorite restaurants. However, my wife and I both felt that the food and the service in our most recent visit (Valentine’s Day) were very underwhelming.
Amazing Valentines brunch!
The food was great especially the mussels appetizer.
Enjoyed two meals, excellent food and service. Second meal early to take in the beautiful view.
Gray food, great service, and a very friendly staff. All social distancing rules and refs were well respected by staff and patrons. Specials were fabulous; Duck Confit Spring Rolls were a real treat! The fish and chips is hard to stray from, one of my favorites.
