    Great experience at the Black Pearl. We went on Saturday, February 15, 2025 and they still had the 4 course tasting menu from Valentine’s Day. Our waiter Sean was fantastic and thoroughly explained the menu. The sommelier, Tommy, was very knowledgeable. Will go back to the Black Pearl very soon. Food was fantastic, and the ambience was very romantic.

    Great food and service. The Latitude martini was delicious. My wife had the Key West shrimp and it was great. I had the duck and it was delicious. The brussel sprouts were delicious too. Great server. The hostess recognized it was our anniversary too which is a nice touch.

    The E & E Stakeout Grill was by far our best meal in Belleaire. I had the sea bass and it was prepared perfectly. My husband order the grouper which was incredible. The mashed potatoes were the best that I have ever tasted. The rice and vegetables were a second runner up. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant. The only issue I had was the noise level a bit loud due to alcohol consumption by some of the customers.
