The food is off the chain, people. They make everything in house in the back, according to friends I've made that have worked here, and you can TELL. The salmon ponchartrain? Jesus Christ and all that is holy. I thought I met my maker. Even the green beans had me double-taking. I wasn't going to get dessert bc I thought I was going to explode but THE KEY LIME PIE THE SIZE OF A SMALL COUNTRY?! My god! The ambiance of this place is just ROMANTIC. People need to experience it. Shoutout to the fabulous servers, talented bartenders, and the wonderful manager that kept stopping by to make sure that not only was I having a good time, but everything was exceeding expectations.

Had a great conversation with him as he was shucking the oysters. Was cool to have them shucked and placed on the ice right in front of you!

I will definitely be back and when I do I hope to get Jim again.

Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

We were just passing through Santee SC for an overnight and sought out the Prime Rib dinner at the Lake House. It definitely did not disappoint! All the wait staff were super friendly and helpful. They pride themselves on scratch cooking (as do I!). Be sure to save room for dessert and plan on not being able to finish it. I gotta say, the OMG Carrot Cake just might be the best carrot cake since I got married so many years ago. Each slice is 4 layers tall and so massive that it's served on a dinner plate.

RVers are a "captured audience" since onecan walk from his or her RV to the restaurant. This is quite convenient. As well, the restaurant is located in a scenic environment. These are the two big pluses. As stated earlier, offerings are not tasty. They are way overpriced for what is delivered. One in our party had Yaya's cut of steak for 35 bucks. Take a look at the picture below and ask yourself a question: would you pay 35 bucks for this? The taste was not there. The portion size was not commencement for the price. Salads are not delivered as salads, but rather a bed of greens slathered with so much dressing that one can barely taste the salad at all. This place is a huge disappointment and a waste of your dollars. Don't bother stopping by.

I sat at the bar and got a well-made whiskey sour. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my bill, as I expected it to cost much more than it actually did. I also went on one of the nights where they had a live DJ in the Upstairz Lounge, which was kind of cool. It wasn't exactly "jumping", but I did go early in the evening, so it may have picked up later. All-in-all, Pearlz was a fun stop; I'll probably be back in the future, and I'd recommend that anyone stop in to at least grab a drink and soak in the atmosphere!
