    The food was incredible, as was the service. It was expensive, but what you would expect from a high-end restaurant. The inside feels dark, but once you settle in, it’s super cozy.

    We celebrated our 8th anniversary and were not disappointed. My wife had the black grouper and I had the roasted duck. Both dishes were superbly presented and deliciously consumed. The service was outstanding to match the quietly romantic ambiance. We will definitely come again!

    Celebrated our 20th anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Our reservation was running a little over because people at our table weren't leaving so staff offered us some complementary champagne while we waited. It was very romantic and Tommy the Sommelier was so knowledgeable and poured me the perfect glass of Bordeaux. Sean was our waiter and he was so friendly and so funny and so knowledgeable of all the food. And the food… Just wow. Absolutely the best meal we have ever had. The dressing on the black pearl salad is to die for! The filet was fabulous and cooked to perfection. The little starter and bread were so good and my husband loved his Bolognese. We had the apple tartin for dessert and it was delicious! Thank you to the Chef and all of the staff were so friendly!!! We have found our new place for celebrating special occasions.

    This is my second trip in the past 3 months to the Black Pearl and my first experience was much better than this one, we arrived 20 mins before our reservation and were told we couldn't be seated and then the sommelier ran out after us to tell us we could come in after all. Then our server was very short and dismissive with us. I am not sure I will go back the food was good but I went to Crown and bull next door and I have to say the fish and Brussels sprouts we had there were outstanding. The wine was very good at black pearl but other than that I can't say it was worth the price or our time. I frequently travel to Clearwater/dunedin area and I have to say I will probably not be going back to black pearl.
