    Wrong food came to the table. Steaks were raw. After 2 try’s to cook properly sent it back and asked for a refund. Waitress was NEVER around. Always had to find someone to find her. She never brought drinks. Etc etc. first time there for our friends. They were “not impressed”. So at the end, some ate and others ate nothing. Will be taking a good break from The Pearl.

    We had the Thanksgiving menu which to our surprise, came piled on a plate just like when we were growing up. There was white/dark meat turkey w/gravy, sweet potatoes with maple sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, sautéed green beans, and a lovely cranberry sauce. My wife and I both had leftovers to bring home. They also gave us both a slice of pumpkin pie. We felt very thankful indeed.

    Excellent Thanksgiving meal! Some in our party didn’t want turkey and the trimmings and were able to order off the regular menu. Everything was delicious. Service was first rate. It truly was a wonderful experience. The Pearl excelled in every way today.

    Always a wonderful experience at the Pearl. Food is outstanding - always. Consistency is key - You will ALWAYS get a great meal here, regardless Of what you order. We tend to side More on the seafood side but the meats looks delish too. Highly recommend. We are So fortunate to have this place in our neighborhood / greater Bluffton area. Additionally - gluten free friends, run, dont walk to the Pearl - they get it!!
