    The server (Jason) was amazing. We were served the holiday menu, everything was excellently prepared and presented. Had the Sea Bass main course, black pearl salad with the poppyseed dressing was delightful, and the black pearl ice cream was wonderful. The entire dining experience was great, I’d recommend for a special ocassion.

    My friend and I thought the restaurant was somewhat overrated. The space was tight and cramped feeling and the service just average. The white truffle lobster risotto "starter" was out of this world! But the filet mignon "entree" was a major disappointment. The sauce was heavy and too salty while parts of the charred steak were actually burnt. Finally, our wine (merlot & white sauvignon blanc) were very mediocre for the price. It's highly unlikely we'll return or recommend the restaurant.

    I really like the pre-fixed menus, Chef made each corse as we finished the previous. This is an amazing high end establishment that deserves an applaud, thanks guys! Oh, the wine pairing was definitely worthy…

    I've long maintained that the Black Pearl offers some of the finest food I've eaten on three continents. I recently introduced two overseas visitors (both serious foodies) to the Black Pearl. Both raved about every single dish and concluded that the filet was the best they'd ever eaten. What's not to love when every mouthful is pure bliss? The Black Pearl wins, hands down, every time.

    My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.
