    Went with a couple good friends for my Birthday. The service and meal were fantastic! Excellent small plates and the Cuban was top notch! Recommend the Deviled plates, eggs and bacon wrapped dates!

    The food was amazing but the service was terrible. We weren’t greeted for the first 15 minutes we were sitting down. Our server only showed up every 30 minutes or so. We ordered extra bread for our table and it took 45-60 minutes for the bread to show up. The server even told us after we waited 20-30 minutes for him to cash us out that he’d forgotten about us. I’ve been to this location several times and the service has always been exceptional. This has been my only negative experience but it was pretty bad. It’s took 2.5 hours for 3 people to eat because of how little our server showed up.

    We had a wonderful time and experience at The Pearl for a military deployment dinner. Management and the staff were gracious and comped a dessert for the military officer. It is a first-class establishment.
