    I've long maintained that the Black Pearl offers some of the finest food I've eaten on three continents. I recently introduced two overseas visitors (both serious foodies) to the Black Pearl. Both raved about every single dish and concluded that the filet was the best they'd ever eaten. What's not to love when every mouthful is pure bliss? The Black Pearl wins, hands down, every time.

    My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.

    A great experience overall. Would highly recommend. I am against the 20% surcharge but I understand the idea / reason. They filter out the trash so you will not see Crocs and Wife beaters with spaghetti stains. In the words of Tony Soprano, " Take your hat off, they don't serve hot dogs here . . . . they took the bleachers out 2 years ago". It is so hard to find classy places anymore, everywhere is cluttered with trashy people that look like they came from a night club or Golden Corral, if you enjoy fine dining and want to have a classy / romantic date, eat here.

    We were offered champagne to begin our evening. One glass per person was poured from a bottle which was uncorked table side. No refill was offered and the bottle was taken away to the wine station. When the check was presented at the end of the meal we noticed a charge of $25.00/glass………maybe this cost might have been mentioned up front. This won’t stop us from returning but I’ll be a little more savvy. The food and service were outstanding!!
