    Our waitress was not very interested in her customers. Kaylee never smiled, she was Not available at the beginning so I asked another waitress to get us plates for our appetizer, our drinks came well after our appetizer due to the delay, and that other waitress was very attentive and pleasant to her customers. Our food was good and we had a nice table.

    First, our mistake for selecting a night with an event next door. Parking was miserable, $50 for valet! Would have been great to even have a partial validation… we had a 6:30 reservation, the place was hopping. We were seated way in the back which was great because it was a bit quieter than the main area. Our server promptly brought us waters and took our starter order. It seemed to take quite a long time to get those, but at least we hasn’t orders mains so we weren’t rushed. We ordered the deviled eggs and the corn spoon bread. Both were quite tasty. The eggs were served with a cute display, and the spoon bread was more like just cornbread but the whipped butter and honey was tasty. We ordered our main dishes, short ribs and Lake Erie fish fry. We are from OH and my husband loves perch, so he was really excited that he might get perch. And he did! The breading was a bit thick but he said it was wonderfully flaky and the fries were hot. He could have used some vinegar but our server didn’t return. I had the short ribs, which were flavorful. Overall, it he food was enough to bring us back sometime when he’s craving perch again! Hopefully parking won’t be as big of a problem next time!

    I hosted some Atlanta guests, who are well traveled and appreciate great food. The Pearl did not disappoint. The shrimp and grits was outstanding.

    Wonderful evening at the Pearl. It was our first visit and will not be my last. From the oyster app and the grilled cheese and burger to the desserts…it was all terrific. Friendly tip, you need reservations, I felt bad for all of the folks that tried to walk in and wait, but it’s worth it!

    Our server was great! He was attentative and was able to answer all our questions about the menu. The chef brought our appetizers and they were phenomenal. Diffinetly recommend the N’awlins Style Baked Oysters and Devils on Horseback. We split an entree and a salad. They serve each of our plates eloquently but with smaller portions.
