   The Pearl is a great alternative for dining at Water Street that provides more value than some of the high dollar fine dining stops in close proximity. A little less formal than some of the other options, the food and service are excellent and consistent. The menu is interesting. The newly added Snapper dinner was awesome. Keep up the good work Pearl people and we’ll keep coming back!

   We enjoyed an amazing brunch (have been there several times and didn't know they had brunch!) Every appetizer was delicious-smoked salmon, garlic shrimp, smoked whitefish dip and fried pickles. Our entrees were fabulous as well. Great drinks and service! This is our favorite restaurant in Tampa!

   We really enjoyed our meal! We shared a couple of oyster varieties and other appetizers, and everything was delicious. The holiday ambience was a nice touch as well. While our drink service was a bit slow, every drink we tried was great. We’ll definitely be back!

   We had a reservation for dinner but I was surprised that it was not crowded at all. The service was terrible. Our waiter did not check on us very often. After the poor service with just a drink order, we decided to leave and go elsewhere to eat. We did order some oysters that were very good. Our hopes were very high as this is a Michelin star restaurant but we were very disappointed.

   Not sure what the 1.50 % surcharge? on my bill is and I don’t agree with surcharges anywhere and was not notified that this was an addition to my bill.

   I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. We chose to sit outside, but unfortunately, our server (David) never checked on us throughout the meal. When it was time to settle the bill, we had to wait over an hour just to receive the check after requesting it. Even after receiving it, we waited an additional 30 minutes for someone to collect our card for payment after having to go inside to ask where our server was to pay. The lack of attention and responsiveness made the experience frustrating and unacceptable.

   Food was outstanding, service was appalling, David the server could not care about serving us, seemed to be a huge inconvenience to him. Overall he was rude and disrespectful. All other staff we interacted with, were very friendly.

   The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful. The service is a high quality and the location is top-notch. We got drinks, the shrimp appetizer and two entrées: the brisket and the salmon cauliflower. The drinks and appetizer were very good and an hour opinion well priced. However, we felt the entrées were overpriced for what they were at nearly $50 a plate for what amounts to an OK salmon and brisket. We feel strongly that the main entrées are overpriced. If I were you, I would eat from their sandwich portion of the menu, which is just as good and in a more suitable price range.

    Everything we have here is amazing. Creative and delicious. This time we had the Devil on Horseback, Thai Curry Mussels, Pub Burger, and the Shrimp and Grits and everything was really good. We had the Chocolate Silk pie for dessert and it was very rich, but the fresh whipped cream mellowed it out perfectly. Can't wait to go back!
