Disappointed that we haven't stopped here sooner. Food was spot on and the bar tender was artistic with the mix and presentation.

Beautiful restaurant with probably the nicest outdoor dining space in Mystic. Really nice bar with excellent cocktails, and the service is excellent (although a bit too formal, but maybe thats just me). All 5 stars for those aspects, but the star deduction comes from the food.
The food is a mixed bag; I do think the lunch menu is reasonably priced relative to the quality, and get a table out back if you can. But the dinner menu is overpriced and does not deliver. You can get better ~$30 entrees in town that will cost you ~$40+ here. It's not poor, but it's just not really worth it and could be more flavorful.
Great place for an outdoor lunch or an evening drink.

The bar experience was phenomenal. Our bartender, Bear, was deeply knowledgeable and fun to chat with. He made some amazing cocktails with the green and yellow Chartreuse I spotted (IKYKY). We didn’t get any food but next time we would. This place is a cut above the rest in the area for cocktails. Highly recommended!

We felt the need to leave a review because of how wonderful the staff was to us 2 nights ago. We came in for an early dinner with our baby (risky, we know) but they were welcoming and accommodating, seating us off to a more empty side of the restaurant. They even turned down the music so baby could sleep. They were more than understanding when our baby got fussy and we had to quickly pay + leave. Overall 10/10 dining experience (sans baby meltdown) and we will most certainly be back once we have a babysitter! Thank you to the entire staff at Pearl for making us feel entirely welcome and anything but judged while dining with our little one.

The searver/bartender Maple was on top of her game from all standpoints! The 'Mr Wikowski' cocktail (gin, cucumber, elderflower) was OUTSTANDING!

Nah, the review that said it wasn't very good was right: this place isn't good enough to make it in the competitive Mystic food scene. An overpriced attempt at pretentious food done poorly.
Pizzetta was a good restaurant that failed at this location. If there's any justice in the world, Pearl will meet the same fate.

This has become my favorite restaurant in southeastern Connecticut by far. In the landscape of restaurants in the area with simplistic menus, Pearl has taken a step to separate themselves with their beautiful decor and entrees.
Pearl's menu has an eclectic array of entrees that will satisfy anyone's food pallet. You can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients that are used in each entree. If you are a foodie as I am, you will enjoy every bite.
The service was outstanding , as my waitress Yahtzee was amazing and super knowledgeable about the menu. She is a great representative of the Pearl brand.

Pearl restaurant is in a league of its own. From the minute you walk in and are greeted by a chill yet warm and friendly gentleman, you can tell this restaurant is a cut above. The food is extraordinary. For appetizers, we ordered the maitake, the scallops and the bread. All three were sublime in presentation and of course, taste. Drinks were fabulous as well. Our waitress, Kayla was very attentive and friendly Perfect service. Even the water refill pitchers were cool. Can't wait to return. My only regret is that I moved away from Mystic two decades ago and will have to wait to visit Pearl again.
Hidden gem in downtown, Mystic. Right next to Sift Bakery. Scrumptious, yummy American food with a twist. Try the mussels in saffron white wine broth and chorizo! So good. GORGEOUS indoor setting! One of the best outdoor seating in the area and GREAT views of the river. And OH MY GOODNESS, REVERSE HAPPY-HOUR! When everybody else's is ending, PEARL'S IS JUST BEGINNING! And it goes till the wee hours of the morning. Friday night is movie night on the patio! Yay! Ask for Moses, the owner. He'll take good care of you. Great service and a wonderful dining experience!

Enjoyed a phenomenal Sunday brunch with a group of friends. I was impressed with the atmosphere, elevated menu, impeccable service and classic cocktails-made with creative flair, particularly the Old Fashion. The Pearl checks all the boxes, and offers a wonderful compliment to the Mystic experience.

I had an amazing Sunday brunch at PEARL. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were some of the best I've ever had. The service was top-notch, our server Kayla was very attentive and friendly, making our experience even better. The ambiance and atmosphere were perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. I can't wait to come back for dinner and try their full menu. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

Great atmosphere and good service. Mushroom soup was not hot enough but good. I personally don’t like Caesar salad served the way they do it so I was disappointed. Baked Oysters and short rib were excellent.
