The Pearl Tampa - Tampa, Florida

My self and a colleague were in town for business and an old friend recommended The Pearl.

I am very glad we decided to drive down and give it a try. The food and service were exceptional.
The ambiance was nice. Dimly lit but enough to see. A very cozy atmosphere.

Our server Brittany was amazing, she was punctual with drinks and refills. She made great food recommendations.

We started off with the peel and eat shrimp, which was delicious and fresh. I had the Gulf Snapper and my colleague had the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were top notch. I truly enjoyed mine and he his dish.

We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

Great atmosphere! We went for lunch to celebrate my graduation, and they were able to accommodate my milk and wheat allergies. We had Fries Pickles, Wings, Fish and Chips, and Hanger Steak (things we normally can't eat out due to allergies). All of it was allergen friendly. Most of it was delicious, but i didn't care for the sour notes in the gochujang buffalo sauce. We plan on returning. It did take a while for us to be served, so be prepared to wait a bit if you go. It was worth the wait, though. Our check was brought in a cute book that had life lessons from Elvis.

A nice chill atmosphere for brunch. Mimosas were heavy on champagne and didn’t give any fruity taste as expected. Food was very good. Personal fave is the harbor salad! Cute play on deviled eggs! Cinnamon roll was one of the best I’ve had and enough for 2 or 3 people! Devon, our server, was great! Checked on us regularly. Did not feel rushed at all. Gave 4 stars because of the poor hostess experience. We were not greeted at all upon entering and the first hostess acknowledged we had a reservation, said ok, and proceeded to speak with someone else. After 5 minutes of waiting, I asked the second hostess if she could check on my status to which she replied the first person was checking on my table. Therefore my recommendation is to have your hostesses greet customers with a smile and set expectations for what’s next and what they should experience. Had I let her unpleasant demeanor level set my experience, I would have left.

Came here for an anniversary dinner. Great service. Great drinks. Shrimp and grits has layers of flavor, so good. Scallops dinner had 5 good size scallops and flavor was light and buttery. Got a slice of the buckeye pie (Ohio? Why?), which was good but extremely rich we could only eat half a slice. How they don't have key lime pie as a dessert option in FL is beyond me, that's my one critical point about this place.

I recently dined at The Pearl restaurant and had a mixed experience with their dishes. The devil eggs were a bit underwhelming for my taste, lacking that wow factor that I was hoping for. However, the tater tots were a pleasant surprise - perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they were definitely the highlight of my meal. The hanger steak, while cooked well, just didn't hit the mark for me in terms of flavor and tenderness.

On the bright side, the cocktail menu at The Pearl did not disappoint. I ordered an old fashion and was thoroughly impressed with the balance of flavors and the quality of the ingredients used. It was a perfect accompaniment to my meal and definitely elevated my dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was also lovely, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

Overall, while the devil eggs and hanger steak may not have been the best I've ever had, the tater tots and old fashion were definite winners in my book. I would recommend giving The Pearl a try for their delicious cocktails and cozy ambiance, and who knows, you may just find a new favorite dish on their menu.

Thank you for a great afternoon. My meal was amazing. I had the mimosa kit, dates (Devils on Horseback), and the pub burger. Everything was delicious and enjoyable. My friends and I had a great afternoon talking and enjoying the food and service. The restaurant was lovely. I especially love the chandeliers in the back area.

First and second time, place was great! We sat at the bar, which had a great atmosphere along with the restaurant location. The oysters, clam chowder were a great start, not to forget the cornbread. Followed by their popular burger, which at first thought would be plain, but was very good. Service was very good. Their tater tots are a must, they are not normal, more like friend mashed potatoe cubes, wonderful.. They have great drinks and homemade pies as their desert. Liked it so much we went back 3 weeks later, where I had the Hanger steak and Salmon, both were great.

I ordered the Thai Curry Mussels and my friend has a very limited palate, but was addicted to the sauce of this dish. For my entree, I ordered the Braised Short Rib. This meat was so tender and delicious, all the garnish items added a perfect amount of flavor to the short rib. The atmosphere is wonderful and our waitress was had great insight on the dishes. I left satisfied and cannot wait to go back to try more menu items.
