- PPaulaTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a party of 4 for Girls Christmas Brunch. 2 had been before and 2 it was our first visit for Sunday Brunch. The ambiance was great as the Christmas decor was beautiful, there was a girl singing live Christmas music and they Grinch was there for photos and visiting the tables. The food was outstanding and the selection was perfect! We sat outside which was beautiful but a bit chilly until the sun reached us more. The espresso martinis were lovely as always and the service was wonderful! We can’t wait to go back!More infoIsland Way GrillPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Clearwater Beach•4.4
- AAmberTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoMy 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.More infoThe Black PearlPrice: Very Expensive• French American• Dunedin•4.9
