 Intro
The
Pearl is a relative newcomer on the restaurant
scene. Located over the popular long-time restaurant,
The Boarding House, an interesting connection
is that the head chef oversees both. The Pearl
is very different in atmosphere and decor from
The Boarding House and most other restaurants.
Modern, with soft, white leather chairs and sofas,
white blinds, a large fish tank with white coral
and subdued lighting, The Pearl provides a contrast
to other restaurants we have known.
It is one of the most expensive restaurants on
the island and the food is superb..
Ambiance  |
The
Pearl is a very modern, sophisticated, and somewhat
formal restaurant. It has two dining areas that
are separated by a wall and the large fish tank
also seen from the entrance. One outdoor table on
the deck appears ideal for a private party of eight
or ten. The bar, to the right of the entrance seemed
a little noisy, however, once seated in the larger
dining area, we were able to converse easily. The
Pearl has a cosmopolitan air unusual for .
Food |
AThe
Pearl offered many tempting appetizers and entrees.
The Asian culinary influence with many choices of
intriguing fish dishes is welcome. Some restaurants
in late Spring offer only one or two seafood choices.
Not so at the Pearl with approximately three quarters
of the entrees obtained from the sea. While sipping
drinks before dinner, we were surprised by two tempting,
delicate, lobster spring rolls sent by the Chef.
An excellent spring soup and a plate of mussels
followed. Not seen on any other menu was the Arctic
Char created in a masterful arrangement of vegetables
and crisp onion. The soft shell crab was excellent.
Not enough praise can be given the menu; it was
truly five star. .
Other Observations:
For
those who enjoy sophistication and modern decor,
this is a perfect choice. For those who don't'
mind top prices, they will find the food unsurpassed.
The Pearl is a real addition to the
scene.
