We sat by the fireplace at the front of the restaurant by the live music - such a great spot! Ordered Brussels sprouts, scallops, mac and cheese, mushroom risotto and the NY strip — everything was delicious and the two mocktails we had were so good! Jonathan was our server and he was wonderful, super nice, efficient, and helpful.

Very good dinner at Pearl’s. Pearl’s offers a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks and great southern food. We had the deviled eggs appetizer, delicious. Two in our party had the barbecue, pulled pork and brisket, along with collard greens and the mashed potatoes. It was nice that a delicious moist piece of cornbread and pickled vegetables were also included. Another in our party had the hamburger, which he loved. I had a special, crawfish etouffee, also very good. It was easy to talk because the noise level was tolerable in the back room that had noise absorbers in the ceiling. Unfortunately I can’t remember our servers name but he was attentive and provided good guidance. Overall we had an excellent experience.
