Pearl

Great food and people at Pearl. Fabulous from the oyster appetizers to the fish or chicken entrees and the delicious dessert. The Baked Oysters, Fried Chicken and the Fried Catfish special were particularly noteworthy. Can't wait for the next visit!

Great meal for lunch at Pearl. Shrimp po boy for me and the catfish for my wife.

We shared the ribeye and two dozen oysters. Both dishes were good. Oysters were $96 for two dozen… eek on the price point. They were good but small… I think I’ll stick to my favs (murder points) rather than splurge for these (we got a mix of all 3 they were offering - AL, FL, and Canadian). Ribeye was expensive—good but I wouldn’t order again just because I feel like (hopefully) there are better items on the menu. I should have known better than to order a ribeye at a seafood place anyway but I was craving steak. The manchetta starter was good until it cooled off, at which point it became stiff cheese with arugula. The crab claws were very good. We’d definitely order those again. The drinks were really fast out and pretty good, especially the purple haze! The old fashioned tasted like straight bourbon, which my husband liked okay but wasn’t for me. The whiskey pomegranate cocktail was pretty good though. We shared the bread pudding for dessert. I enjoyed it. It was a good split between pudding and bread. I felt it was more pudding-y while my husband argued it was more bread so I guess it’s hard to say. I enjoy a more pudding-y bread pudding myself. The service and speed of order was superb. Price point definitely on the high side. Overall, it’ll probably be awhile before we’re back just because we weren’t blown away despite spending $340 with tip (that’s 6 drinks, 2 apps, 2 dozen oysters, 16 oz ribeye, and 1 dessert).

Can’t say enough about the service and food. Perfection! My favorite entrees include the fried chicken and swordfish. My husband can’t order anything but the redfish. ALL of the sides are delish - grits, potato’s, brussels, tuna dip, crab claws are best I’ve ever had. Blueberry bread pudding is to die for. And the wine selection!!

Stop what you are doing and make a reservation for Pearl!! We visited with some friends from Louisiana. We had been to a few other restaurants around town but nothing held a candle to the meal we had at Pearl. We truly wanted to try everything so we split a lot of the appetizers between the four of us. Pictured is the smoked tuna dip, oysters, seared tuna entree , hush puppies (with honey butter-YES) and Brussel sprouts. Not pictured was the marinated crab claws and the blue crab fried rice. We all agreed that we had one of the best meals ever. I highly recommend making a reservation. They were a little behind but nothing too dramatic, probably an extra 10 minutes but nothing to ruin the evening. Erin, the owner, made sure that our evening was nothing short of amazing and her husband was the chef in the back. Overall we were highly impressed with the cleanliness, hospitality, ambiance, and the food!! Highly recommend!
