Great food and service at a busy location and time. Staff was excellent. The Calibogue Stew fish was fresh, bountiful, and the broth outstanding. Even the Lime Sorbet was notable. The background noise was noticeably high but did not disturb our 55 yr Anniversary.

Be prepared for the noise! It is extremely loud. Noise from the server stations, kitchen and music was overwhelming. Difficult to carry on a conversation as others are yelling across their tables to be heard adding to the already high noise level. Dinner was delicious and the service was excellent, but the noise level would keep me from coming back.

We enjoyed our dinner for my husband's birthday. Service was great; our waiter was very attentive without being intrusive, food was delicious and we were pleased with the portion size. The pear and burrata salad was so tasty! It's a little pricey but well worth it for a special occasion. We'd definitely go back. The only negative comment is, while our table was in front of a window, (which was lovely!) the view was of a shed and propane tanks were visible. Some greenery on the exterior of the shed and tucking those propane tanks away could easily solve this small issue.

Food is amazing and service is awesome. Pretty loud environment so don't go expecting a quiet intimate dinner. A little on the pricey side but didn't mind overmuch as the food was phenomenal.
Heather
Lovely evening with food more in line with our NYC expectations and gracious southern service. Definitely must return.

Mr. George has eaten at a lot of fine dining restaurants over his 92 years. The Pearl is one of his favorites in Bluffton. His favorite server is Cindy. She is sweet, knowledgeable and very attentive to details. We plan on dining here over and over!
Bruce
Server was excellent, she was there when need, knew the menu, made great recommendations. Table helper was excellent, delivered the food with a happy attitude, asked if we needed anything else. Food was outstanding. Will eat here again

The food and service were both amazing! This was our first time dining at The Pearl but definitely won't be our last.

Best calamari ever!! Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. Both of our entrees were delicious!
Eva
Our server was Enrique I believe. He was great. Started with calamari. Had a Ceasar salad. I had the lobster shrimp carbonara and my husband had the red fish. It was all perfect! Can't wait to go back.
Never disappointed with The Pearl. Cindy are waitress was excellent, food exceptional and just a great night out with friends from out of town. My go to for a great meal & service.
Julie
Definitely a neighborhood gem! Menu never disappoints! We started with tuna poke, then onto the Pearl salad, scallops for entree and ended the meal with the key lime pie! Excellent from start to finish!

We haven't been to the Pearl for a while. the inside is too noisy so we wait till the weather is good enough to eat outside. I was pleased to see all the menu changes. The halibut and fried green tomatoes were excellent. the shrimp and crab pasta was so so. caesar salad was excellent. Our waiter, Alex, was just great.

I'm not sure what happened in our experience but it was not favorable. We ordered our food. Appetizers and main meal. Our server came back after 30 minutes and asked if he could place our main order. We stated we never received our appetizers yet. We waited another 15 minutes to get the appetizer. When they arrived they were very good. But then we waited another 45 minutes for our main meal. Tables around us had all received their meals. I spoke with the manager and explained we had been there 90 minutes with no meal. We ended up taking one meal to go as we were not willing to stay any longer. The manager was very conciliatory about our complaints and did not charge us anything. The food we did eat was great and the overall atmosphere was good.

The Pearl's remains our favorite place to gather with friends. My birthday dinner on the front porch began with a festive glass of bubbly. The Crisped Red Snapper with Jasmine rice and vegetables was perfection. The Strawberry Cake is shared at every visit.
