    Roasted oysters:10, Corn spoon bread:10, Snapper special: 6, Beef short rib: 8. Table service was rushed, as the entrees arrived long before we were done with our appetizers. No follow through from staff about special birthday request, Sad.

    This is our favorite brunch! The mimosa kit is such a good value, the service is great, and all of the food I’ve tried is incredible. Definitely try the baked oysters and daily omelette

    Great starter, corn bread. All entrees delicious and good size portions. Desserts were good but not outstanding. We will try the brown sugar pie next time! Not too loud which is a big plus. Good service and value.

    I really wanted to like this place more but it just didn't hit for me 6/10. The spoon bread was the best part of the meal. The pork cheek was extremely salty and the drinks were mostly ice. Service and ambience was great. Just wish the food was better.

    The food is ALWAYS out if this world great. Every single entree that I’ve had has been exquisite. The “vibe” of the place makes it so fun to be there. Service was great for the first 90% of the time but the last 10% of the time our server could not be found. Dawn was our server and she was outstanding — but the last 10 minutes she disappeared and that tainted it a bit. But she is very good

    This was my second visit to the Pearl. I visited once for a business lunch a few weeks ago and last night we did dinner with some friends. The food was wonderful. A previous reviewer mentioned the menu not being over creative, I disagree. I had the hanger steak which was cooked to perfection served with kimchi rice and fried egg. Some other dishes we loved with the curry mussels, raw oysters, lots of pie, and everything was fantastic! Can’t wait to go back.
