We ate at The Black Pearl for the first time last night and it was excellent! What a hidden little gem in Dunedin. We love the small quaint setting. It has an elegant atmosphere despite being in a small downtown location. All of the wait staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. The sommelier’s wine pairing recommendations were perfect. Everything we ate was delicious and the presentation was exactly what you would expect for a more high-end restaurant. It is perfect for any special occasion! We will definitely return.

We had a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.
