Prime & Pearl: Reviews & Ratings
Great atmosphere and food is really good. Service was impeccable and bartenders were very knowledgeable on drinks.
Always go to for my cold water oyster requirements! Sat at bar on a Sunday eve early. It was busy. Server did a good job multitasking.
100/10 recommend for great cocktails and a wonderful culinary experience! located in the heart of Celebration Pointe- parking lot near My husband and I are visiting and wanted to visit an upscale trendy place. Walked in on a Friday, extremely packed, so reservation is def recommended here. We ordered drinks, steak + enhancements (seafood add-ons), and the redfish Everything was flavorful and amazing, although food could use a bit more salt. Just a tiny bit. For the steak, you get to pick out your very own knife, thought that was a cool experience! They have a great selection of desserts
The food was enjoyable overall. The calamari was pretty good, with nice pieces of octopus and fried peppers, complemented by a flavorful chili sauce and citrus aioli. The oysters were good but disappointingly small. The rack of lamb came with three pieces and were a great size. I got them in medium and was cooked perfectly, all juicy and tender. It could have used a bit more salt. The four green beans served with it felt odd, they definitely could have added a lot more instead of charging $11 for a side of green beans. The redfish was well-prepared but lacked flavor, and the lumb crab on top didn't appeal to me. On the other hand, the popover bread was a delightful surprise--light, buttery, and paired wonderfully with the blueberry butter. It was unexpected, as I thought regular bread would be served. The inside kinda looked like a hotel lobby so I wasn't really into that experience. Service was just alright, not exceptional.
We wanted to celebrate this weekend so the husband took us out to Prime and Pearl It's tucked away right next ton Kilwin's but once you enter, it's like you entered a whole new world. We had reservations and were seated right away. We started the night off with oysters which were SO fresh. Our favorite was the Pink Moons. The complementary bread service is one of the best I've ever had. That blueberry compote Butter was perfection. Steak was grilled to perfection and so flavorful! The brussel sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese could've been a meal of their own. We're going to come back again to this amazing spot!
We have been to Prime and Pearl twice now. Both times fantastic, professional service. Servers know etiquette and there is the right balance between checking in and letting you enjoy your time out to dinner. Cocktails and wines are great- again our server Murray knew a lot about the cocktails and wine pairings. Made it easy to make a decision. Oysters were tasty- a great selection too. Entrees have been delicious and rich both times. Will come again for the service, ambiance, drinks and food! Highly recommend for a nicer dinner/date night/special occasion restaurant
