    Excellent cocktail menu. Best fried green tomatoes in town. Delicious salad which they split for my wife and me. I never order chicken at a restaurant except for the Pearl. The chicken francaise is great. My wife had the halibut which was also terrific. Finally, the service was great.

    Great local gem of a restaurant. We took our out of town guest from NY and they loved it! Food was delicous, we had redfish, snapper and tuna. The fried green tomatoes were out of this world. Our server, Cindy was wonderful. One of our favorite places to dine.

    Excellent service. Great food. Redfish portion was smaller than usual, reducing the value. Crab n shrimp linguine was fantastic. Wedge (sub romaine) was excellent!

    Loved everything, can't wait to return to Bluffton again and go back. My husband loved the raw oysters. We had specialty mixed drinks that were delish and LOVED the red snapper special and finished with delish and moist carrot cake.

    The noise was loud. So loud it was hard to hear across a small table. The table behind us spoke so loud about his politics, that it was annoying. The server was great and the staff got us seated early as we were early for our reservation.
