    Small place but great food, much better than your chain store Tex-Mex fare. Service was good too.

    Not very good. In seasoned beef was a shock. Drinks not very good at all and atmosphere needs a little help.

    The food is as I remember from Mexico, the lady that served us from from Jalisco and was the best waitress I have experienced in quite some time.

    The Pearl is a fairly new restaurant to us (first timers going today) located right outside a bike…read morepark. While the food was good, the overall vibe felt a bit mismatched for the crowd. Most people are coming straight from the bike park -- very casual and often with kids -- yet The Pearl has a fine dining atmosphere with classical music, cloth napkins, and a polished, upscale feel. It's a beautiful space, but many families (including ours) had kids who weren't quite ready for a full sit-down experience, and this was the only food option available. A more casual option nearby, like a sports bar, would make a lot of sense for this location. As for the food, we had mixed experiences. First of all, the menu was ginormous! I feel like they would have done better with a smaller range of options so that they could perfect the offerings. My husband didn't enjoy the chipotle chicken tacos (they were on the spicy side) but I loved the seasonal lobster bisque and the wedge salad with added chicken. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which was good and served with thick pita bread triangles. Kids meals were $10 and came with a good side and drink, which felt fair. Desserts looked great, but we didn't order any this time. Overall, good food and a beautiful restaurant -- just a slightly unexpected fit for the bike park crowd.
