    We were starving and so excited to eat at the Pearl . We had the jalapeño corn bread and 2 delicious cocktails then we were stuffed! I was looking forward to the Thai curry mussels but my friend and I shared the fish and chips which was perfect! I’ll have the mussels next time!

    Really disappointed with our visit. It was a Tuesday and very crowded. Very neglectful service. Server was very nice nice but had way too many tables. There for an hour too long. Food mediocre. Fish was so fishy. Prob not go back.

    The Pearl is an institution and the food is and has continued to be excellent. The jalapeno corn bread is amazing! Scallops were perfect and service top notch.

    Food and service was excellent! Do note that the restaurant can be very dark making it hard to read the menus but that in no way takes away from the experience. Highly recommend the Tater Tots if you are a potato fan!
