    From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.

    Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.

    This is our first time eating at this restaurant. It is a beautiful place. The location is good but I think you have to do street parking. The seating are comfortable, some tables are small and we were seated close to the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic. The food was very good. Our server was excellent. The salmon was very good and so the pasta. The drinks were OK. I am very particular about my Old Fashion. I do not like small ice cubes in my drinks and this is what my Old Fashion came in. No cherry either,

    Had a great evening with exceptional service by Alex and very good food. We had the curry mussels, tater tots, baked oysters and Harbor salad. All were quite unique and very tasty. We especially enjoyed the Harbor salad which we split among the table. We also had the punch bowl which was a nice drink option but required some extra effort to finish despite splitting between 4 of us. Probably better for a party of 6. Overall it was a great evening at The Pearl.
