    Not at all what we expected from a Michelin worthy restaurant. The best thing we had was the corn bread jalapeño. The snapper was plain and no taste on a bed of mayo. The shrimp and grits were oily and not impressive. For a staple dish this was a huge disappointment. And it took 25 minutes to bring out a piece of key lime pie which was warm. It want busy so my best assertion is lazy management who didn’t want to be there on Eastern Sunday. Owners take heed. The only thing you have going for you is your location across from Amalie. Don’t kid yourself your restaurant is doing well because of the food quality and lousy service. Truth.

    Easter dinner was very special at The Pearl. The food was great! Our party of 4 shared deviled eggs and fried pickles. For dinner we shared clam chowder, nawlins oysters, beet salad, fish/chops and shrimp/ grits. We shared chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert We loved the dining room and the music choice. Thanks for a very memorable meal

    Outstanding! Five of us dined and we all loved every bite! The Brown Sugar Pie is a must and the Key Lime Pie is the best around. Get both!

    Food , drinks and service was outstanding. I wish the music was better. It was very loud rock which did not fit the ambiance of the restaurant.

    We took a leap and ordered the seafood tower and so glad we did. Oysters especially were excellent. It made for such a fun, celebratory lunch! We loved it. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable.
