The Black Pearl

Just amazing all the way around from beginning to end! A must do..,.

Phenomenal, J was amazing. The wine recommendation was as unbelievable. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Last week we took some friends out for dinner and we can't say enough about this place. Everything from start to finish was amazing. The service was flawless, the food was not only delicious but looked beautiful as well. We will definitely be back.

Not sure where to begin. We made a reservation the weekend before Valentine’s Day and they were only offering the 8 course Valentine’s menu. We were blown away. We were greeted promptly at the door. Our server was incredibly attentive. There are only 12 tables inside and it’s very intimate which I found enjoyable. The AC was blowing very cold. 2 servers did offer a shawl which I declined but still thought was a nice gesture. Don’t expect to eat a cheap meal here. Our bill was around $400, but worth it especially if you’re a foodie. It appears there were 4 or maybe 5 servers (all men) who helped each other out with running food and clearing plates so no need for bussers clanking around plates and glasses. The pork belly and escargot appetizers were fantastic. The black pearl salad was okay (not amazing but still delicious). The star was really the filet. It was seasoned and cooked just right. The espresso crème brûlée and rocky road bread pudding (wow) are must tries. This might have been the best meal I’ve ever eaten in Tampa Bay. Definitely a favorite on our list now. I’m not sure if I’m being biased or what, but I feel like I might appreciate it more being a fellow UCF alum.

Fantastic food and service.

Make reservations. Save up, it's worth it.

Customer service is really good and the food is really good

Excellent dinner and experience!
