Editorial Review for Pearl – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The psychedelic dining area features orange fur walls, polka-dot tables, a wall of bubbling water, and giant-seashell chairs at the bar. Late nights, the local beautiful people flock here to dance seductively until the wee hours. Nibble on caviar and strawberries, and sip champagne at the bar. Or sit down for a full meal with typical entrees including gorgonzola-crusted beef tenderloin and seared yellowtail snapper. Nightly tasting menus paired with wine flights are available.

First of all there was no valet parking. As you walk in to the place you will see trerrazo floors that haven't been cleaned in a while. You will also see long white dirty drapes with holes in them. Most of the glassware on our table was dirty and the menu had grease stains all over it. And we are seeing all of this with dimmed lights, can't imagine what the place would look like with regular lights. The beef that I ordered was ok, but the side of scalloped potatoes was ice cold (like right out of the freezer). My fiancee ordered the same thing and her potatoes were ok (I mean warm). I didn't complain at the restaurant because I don't like sending food back to the kitchen. I opted to write this review instead and warn as many people as possible. If you feel like spending $200 and have a good time, go to Emiril's.
Pros: easy to get a table
Cons: Dirty place, overpriced, don't get what you pay for.

Dining at Pearl was the worst restaurant experience I ever had. The hostess was so snobby and treated us as though we were beneath her. The service was horribe and it was a slow night. Most of the tables around us were empty so there is no excuse for the poor service. It took 30+ minutes to get our first and only drink. I only ordered one entree on the menu and the waiter couldn't even emember it. He asked me 3 different times what I had ordered. We waited for our meal for about an hour and even the food was awful. The sushi is below average and didn't taste fresh. The wine was watered down; we couldn't even finish our glasses. And to top off this terrible experience, the bill was wrong. We were billed for a dish we didn't even order. What a rip off.
Pros: Easy to get a table
Cons: Terrible food, service and scene.
