Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Lanham

Arrived during Happy Hour so ordered two apps from that menu plus cocktails. The arancini were good if small, and the sauce was mildly spicy. The tuna tartare was fine, though the tuna seemed a bit cooked, with a nice amount of avocado and finely chopped red onions. The tartare came with two small pieces of toasted bread, and when my husband asked for two more he was told that we could order a bread basket— I guess two pieces is all that’s allowed during happy hour. Our pasta dishes for our main meal were delicious-one of us had cavatapi (sp?) with sausage that was mildly spicy and delicious, and two of us had the linguini with shrimp and pancetta in vodka sauce— absolutely delectable to the last drop. All three of us ordered dessert and all three were delicious. Service was attentive with regular water refills etc. and a very pretty and efficient waitress.

Everything about our experience was perfect. My wife and I shared a 6-shrimp cocktail and a beet salad. She had onion soup for her entree; I had the beef bourguignon. Her soup was very rich and cheesy; my beef was tender and hearty. We also had a baguette and a bottle of wine. I finished with 3 scoops of sorbet. The service was impeccable. The ambience was comfortable. The must was perfect. We will definitely be back!

We ate for brunch, the food was very fresh. We enjoyed it so much. The menu/ food is so refreshing, diff from what tried before. The service was great. My children really enjoyed the food and overall experience.

Pearl Dive is one of our neighborhood favorites. Consistently excellent seafood. Attentive wait staff. At times a bit too noisy, due to the bar crowd.

Great place for a tasty dinner with friends. Great food and service.
