    We ordered the dumplings as an appetizer, they were delicious the broth the came in was so good. We order the filet for entree, it was cooked perfectly so tender just melted in your mouth.. quantity and quality was spot on for the price!! We celebrated our son’s birthday and he was gifted a free dessert, I can’t remember what it was called but it was a black cherry with cake and ice cream sundae like dessert, perfect! Will definitely be back

    We really enjoyed the brunch at The Pearl. We started with drinks and oysters. The oysters both on the half shell and New Orleans style were excellent. We recommend asking the server for suggestions on which oysters to try and for more bread to dip in the very tasty New Orleans sauce. For the main course, we ordered fish and chips and shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding. The only thing we would have liked was a little lower music setting. We will be back again to enjoy the wonderful brunch experience!

    Marcella's is always a winner. A hiccup on this visit: Instead of grilled chicken with my salad, I received fried chicken, which I did not order. The wait staff took care of getting it replaced in a reasonable amount of time. The table behind us had quite the spirited diner. His laugh was loud and piercing throughout the entirety of our meal. A bit annoying but you can't choose your guests. We will definitely return because the service is always outstanding and the food amazing. Gianna, our waitress was outstanding!
