The Pearl

This place features traditional dishes executed with bold flavors. Start the meal with beet salad or teriyaki octopus, then a shellfish offering like oysters on the half shell or boiled shrimp. Drawing from various cultural influences, the menu includes shrimp and grits, fish and chips and hanger steak with kimchi fried rice. A daily seafood special is always available, as well as a few vegetarian or vegan dishes. The restaurant's urban ambience includes painted brick walls, leather chairs and tight table spacing. Ask your server about the classic cocktails and house-made punches.
