I am a fan of this place! The food blew me out of the water. We started with the lobster artichoke dip and the calamari, both of which are must-haves. For dinner I had a Cobb Salad with salmon, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. I also got to try the lobster roll (pictured below) which was, again, very good. I gave the pickle an 8/10. However, we had some problems, namely with the wait time. After waiting for our table, we had our meals planned out and ordered right away. However, it still took quite a while for our apps and entrees to be delivered to us. Normally, this would not bother me

This is an extremely popular restaurant, and there's a reason why. The food is outstanding! The drinks are wonderful and the service is on point. They do not take reservations, and you can't even really call ahead. Don't try getting in at 7:00 on a Friday night, they won't even add your name to the wait-list it's so long (they close at 9, I think). Had six of us meet up here for dinner and after a 70 minute wait we were able to get in. Amazing fish, awesome appetizers. The tuna poke was delicious! Couldn't recommend this place enough, just don't try to go prime time.

I gave Pearl a 4 out of 5 stars.
Pros: very scenic with a lovely screened in patio area. Portions are generous and the service was quick. Prices were reasonable. Also, they had gluten free beer that was pretty good if you're a pale ale drinker. I had the Cobb Salad which was pretty good (the grilled chicken was delicious albeit a smidge dry). The fries are also good!
Cons: the parking situation out front is a bit crazy given it's competing with other businesses and the marina. We wound up parking over by the basketball courts and walking. My mom and sister had the lobster roll and weren't super

This place shows zero professionalism. We had a larger party but the pearl wasn’t packed, people from our group were ordering at the bar and the waitress was going out of her way to push us or run into us, there was plenty of space but she went out of her way to be aggressive.
With this large party someone tipped 15% (admittedly that wasn’t a good move, it should have been at least 20) but everyone else was over tipping because we knew there were quite a few of us, the waitress followed us out of the restaurant to the next place we went yelling about the one person who tipped 15%.

Nice outdoor dining although the sulfur from the nearby water can stink a bit. Friendly staff with a decent assortment of food. I liked the sauce options for the fish choices. My scallops were super tender and tasty but the rice was bland. My wife and mother-in-law got salads that they were disappointed in. My father-in-law got the fish tacos, which he liked. Overall the food was decent but a little overpriced.

Hmmm... probably our fault... as only 1 out of 5 eat seafood and we're dining at a restaurant in the heart of the harbor on good ol' Cape Cod- some might say we were asking for trouble? But no, we were just looking for a restaurant on the water that would make all of our palates happy... and looking at the menu, we thought this was going to be our place. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
Nice waitstaff, and a casual, fun Cape Cod vibe, but the food (at best) was described by those in our party as "not that bad", "fine" and mediocre... and in case you were wondering

This was my second time eating at the Pearl. My fiance and I went here our very first year at the Cape and eight years later we decided maybe it was time to try it again...
Atmosphere: It was surprisingly busy for the time of day we went. We went around 5pm and the place was already packed! I am glad that they are getting good business despite COVID-19, as the restaurant industry has certainly taken a hit with this. The restaurant really has a beautiful view because it is right by the shore. They were offering outdoor dining but we ended up inside because a table opened up there first and it was

We've been here twice and the view is wonderful! This last time we were there, it was such a nice day to sit outside and enjoy and hard cider and some oysters. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We had a Baja cod sandwich, an avocado blt and 3 fish and chips. Everything was good. I would not order the fish and chips again just because I don't like my fish battered. Just person preference. It was prepared well enough. A bit more pricey to be by the water but we expect that!
9/9 Came for lunch and had the fried shrimp tacos and they were outstanding!
