Since the age of 12yrs I have begged my parents to take me to Pearls. It wasn't until the age of 25yrs I was able to go to Pearls. Adding the pleasure of being able to drink!
They offer Happy Hour weekdays from 4-6pm. Oysters are a dollar piece with an extended bar menu. I had the Blackened Chicken Nachos for only 4.99. A plate filled of nachos that will have you stuffed for days. But, and I say BUT the service was intoreable... I asked my server to take their time with the pace of the food that would be arriving at my table, considering I only weigh 100lbs. An order of 4 oysters took over 10 minutes to arrive at my table. A Chef once told me, "30 second is the minumum it takes to shuck a single oyster." So why did it take so long?
The condiments offered with the oysters were horseraddish, cocktail sauce, and lemons that sat on top of minintature forks. "Cute!" Despite time, the oysters were fresh and delicious so I ordered four more and a plate of Nachos." To pass the time, I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I do not suggest to anyone to smoke or to stop because it's a filflty habit. When I arrived back inside my oysters, and nachos were ready at the same time.
Question: How can I shove down delicious oysters before they become to warm and eat my nachos at the same time before they become to cold. I wasn't offered another cocktail and I was completely disappointed. I have wanted to go to Pearls since I was 12yrs. Such rushed service! A restaurant is not only about the food but its about the service and atmosphere. What a dreadful hour! At your own risk don't wait 12yrs of your life to go Pearls.
