    Food was amazing as always, and the happy hour deals are the best! The server was kind and the kitchen staff were very careful and conscious of food allergies in our party. We’ll be back!

    We celebrated our 24th anniversary at CUT132, and our experience was outstanding from start to finish. Fantastic service, amazing food, and a relaxing atmosphere! Highly recommend the tomahawk steak. We split it, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Definitely worth a visit!

    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.
