    We had a great time prior to going to a Bluejackets game. The food was amazing! They know how to do deviled eggs and fish and chips. You can go wrong with those choices! We also had 3 children with us and everyone loved their meals.

    Never had a bad meal here! The Pearl is always on our list of places to eat when we are in town! Pretty loud and cramped on this most recent occasion, but improved by the end of the meal. Will definitely be back!

    A nicely varied menu, with many offerings that appealed to our small group who had varied tastes and dietary needs. Everyone was happy with their meals. The service was excellent! This is really a wonderful place I want to go back to! Everyone at our table loved the "Devils on Horseback" appetizer.

    The service was excellent and the ambience great. Unfortunately, I ordered gf food and informed the server of my celiac disease but ended up getting very sick from the food. This is my sixth time eating here but my first time getting sick.

    Always great food and amazing service. Even on a busy Valentine's Day weekend, the staff was on top of serving and making sure we had what we needed. The tater tots were incredible. Also the Cuban and Harbor Salad were very delicious!
