    We were seated right by the fireplace, perfect because we were chilly! Our waitress helped us select a delicious meal and we ate every bite. A lovely evening at Pearl’s! Will come back again for sure.

    The service was outstanding. Very very friendly and engaging, and good advice on the food. Southern Vermont may not be known for southern cuisine, but this place really works. And an outstanding selection of bourbons and ryes.
