    Our server Alex was great! We had a party on 10 outside and he was always there to check in and make sure we were good on drinks. We had one friend with a gluten allergy and he was very helpful with recommendations that were gluten free. Thank you!

    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.
