We sat on the outdoor patio. Service was great, everyone who works there seems very friendly and service was very prompt. One of my friends ordered a “spicy” cocktail that was way too hot. The server responded immediately to the request to replace it, no extra charge. Mussels appetizer was very good. Caesar salad was just okay. My companions both got swordfish kabobs that they said were good.

I met a group of friends at The Pearl for drinks and dinner. We had a lovely evening. We tried many items from the menu - oysters, chicken wings, burgers, chowder - and, we all enjoyed our food very much. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that the music was louder than it needed to be.
