Everything about The Pearl experience was excellent. Shout out to Reese who was very helpful with the changes to our reservation and accommodating. Benjamin's service was stellar! Will definitely be going back.

Finally gave this place a try for breakfast and it did not disappoint it. Highly recommend the huevos rancheros . And a fresh bowl of fruit with it. Espresso martinis were delightful great coffee roast choice. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

We made a reservation for drinks and oysters before heading out for a larger anniversary dinner at a different location. Oysters and drinks were very good. The only call out is that I made a reservation for the 'Bar" and was sat in a completely different room. I was really wanting to be where the energy was and that bar was completely full.

We’ve been here a few times and the food has been excellent. Today, the food was just ok. The cornbread wasn’t warm, but the oysters were great. The fries were hot, but the main dish wasn’t hot. Since all was great our previous trips, we will try it again.

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.

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
