    Great place for a date night and it is extremely romantic. Either what appears to be the manager for the owner walks around and greets everybody in is extremely nice. The food is amazing and the staff was great. Don’t let the outside judge you being in a strip plaza when you’re inside you feel like you’re in a true nice high-end Italian restaurant.

    Great experience at the Black Pearl. We went on Saturday, February 15, 2025 and they still had the 4 course tasting menu from Valentine’s Day. Our waiter Sean was fantastic and thoroughly explained the menu. The sommelier, Tommy, was very knowledgeable. Will go back to the Black Pearl very soon. Food was fantastic, and the ambience was very romantic.

    Mystic Fish rises to the occasion once again! We enjoyed a delicious and delightful meal with our out of town friends for Valentine’s Day. The menu provided wonderful options - we chose the Maine Lobster tails, Land and sea with lobster and filet, the sea bass and the grouper with the hogfish preparation. All dishes were cooked perfectly and served expertly by our friendly wait staff who also had a great sense of humor. Our out of town friends were duly impressed and I’m sure Mystic Fish will be on their agenda next visit.

    We had a remarkable Valentine’s dining experience here. The chefs here are creative & talented & we were so happy to find a restaurant serving food like this in this area, as we have found these kind of choices to be lacking. Between the two of us we had the house made naan with liver pâté that was outstanding, the scallops starter, the sirloin and cod entrees & the most delicious goat cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection and the presentation was on point. Table service was friendly and at a comfortable pace. Don’t let the location in the strip mall fool you- the food being created in this restaurant is as good as many fine dining places in big foodie cities. We will definitely be back Next time we will reserve for seating at the bar so we can watch these chefs in action. Bravo!👏🏻
