   This place is a 10/10 — I highly recommend. Everything we ate was scrumptious. It was a nice ambiance as well

   All around, a superb dining experience. We went on a Sunday night before an event at Amalie Arena. The service was on point from beginning to end. Lucy, our server, kept everything moving at a good pace and answered all our questions. The interior is well appointed with a cozy, warm vibe. The noise level picked up as the evening went on, and more diners arrived, but it was not loud enough to prevent comfortable conversation. The food was excellent! The cornbread was delicious and was the perfect comfort food. I had the Gulf snapper, and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were prepared exceptionally well. We finished off the evening with a brown sugar pie. We will definitely come back soon!

   We frequently travel to Tampa from SW Florida and hadn’t yet dined at The Pearl until this weekend. We had an outstanding experience! The restaurant is stunning & lively with service that exceed my expectations. Immediately after dining we made a reservation to return again in a few weeks with friends for dinner. I am gluten free and was blown away by the menu options and how knowledgeable the staff was on their precautions to prevent cross contamination. I had the fried pickles & Cuban sandwich. Both prepared perfectly. I for once didn’t have to miss out due to my food allergy!

   This was our first time at The Pearl Tampa. We had an amazing experience the food, ambiance and customer service was great. Devin was very knowledgeable and provided different recommendations on drinks and menu items that didn't disappoint. My husband had the steak and I had the filet mignon valentines day special the steak was tender and flavorful the toppings and sides were a nicely paired. And OMG the pies looked phenomenal we ended up having the special strawberry cheesecake with oreo crust. We can't wait to go back and bring our friends.

   We had an excellent meal. The seasonal cocktail Water Street Punch was refreshing but not overly sweet. The spoon corn bread was moist with crunch edges and accompanied by a very good whipped butter with honey. The braised short ribs were amazing! The dish was well balanced, with an exceptional demi-glaze. The portion was perfect. The scallops were delicious. The corn puree was a welcoming change to what is usually polenta. The sauce was delicious and vegetables were very good. The most surprising part of the meal was the dessert. They make in house pies that they rotate seasonally but the Brown Sugar Pie is always on the menu and it is fantastic!!! It has the flavor of a blonde but with a denser consistency and then the little brown sugar crumbles are just joy, all topped with a lovely whipped cream. The service was great and the ambiance was lovely too.

   AMAZING!! I've been many times and every time is an awesome experience but this time was truly exceptional. My family and I have food allergies - and my mom is on a very restrictive diet for health reasons. Our server Devon was incredible, so kind and patient and the executive chef Olivia came out and talked to us twice. They were able to custom make something for my mom and even used the oil she had brought with her! Truly a 5 star experience. The food was fabulous as always but the service was TRULY next level. It's also jus such a fun spot - great energy and vibe. Could not recommend more highly. Especially to anyone gluten free - these guys do SO much GF and they do it well! Very special to find so many deep fried delicacies gluten free as well. I've only had delicious food every time - my special faves though are the deviled eggs, parmesan clams and the fish and chips. Idk what they do to their fries but they are fluffy and crispy and so flavorful. Must go! You won't be sorry.

   We are always looking for amazing gluten free options in Tampa and The Pearl over delivered! 90% of their menu is gluten free or gluten friendly! My husband got that salmon and I got the hangar steak with the kimchi rice. My meal was spectacular! The rice is spicy and flavorful, the steak was tender and the fried egg tied it all together! Both of us had excellent cocktails! This one s definitely a restaurant we will come back to!
