About The Black Pearl

The Black Pearl offers a delightful dining experience with its beautiful terrace, cozy beamed dining room, and upbeat bar. This historic-looking tavern perfectly captures the "Pirates of the Caribbean" aesthetic. The menu features an array of seafood dishes, including a delectable chowder, fish wrap, and lobster stew. The mussels in lemon-garlic-butter sauce are a standout, and the mouth-watering burger is also highly recommended. Guests have enjoyed the crab cakes and spinach artichoke dip. The baked cod on a bed of orzo is cooked perfectly, flakey, moist, and lightly seasoned. The Tavern Burger is really good, a mouthful. The crab salad is exceptional, large lumps lightly dressed. Desserts like the bread pudding and flavorful cheesecake have received praise. The restaurant provides a charming, shoreline ambiance, ideal for a summer outing or a special family dinner. The staff is described as awesome, and the patio is a beautiful setting for lunch or dinner. The food is great for the price, and the service is friendly and efficient. The decor is authentic nautical, not ticky tacky. It is a smaller, more intimate space than expected, with a pier side cramped feeling in small areas. The Black Pearl left guests happy, delivering a pleasant evening of good beer and good food.
