I absolutely adore this place and wish I could go more often. My husband doesn't love fish as much as I do haha. Food is always stellar, service is unmatched and overall the atmosphere is wonderful in my experience.

Oyster Rockefeller

We came for my husband's birthday, and weren't disappointed! We love oysters which is why I chose this particular restaurant. With attentive service that was knowledgeable and unobtrusive and a quiet ambiance we knew we were in for a treat. The oysters were delicious, we reordered three times.

Fish & Chips
Brittne C.

I've been to Pearl Tavern a few times now, and it consistently hits the mark. This visit we had the Delaware Bay oysters (hard to beat the happy hour price), Caesar salad, popcorn shrimp, and fish and chips. Everything was fresh and well-executed--the oysters especially stood out. It wasn't overly busy for a Saturday, which made for a comfortable experience. The only downside was the service. Our server was polite but not very present, and we spent a good chunk of the meal with empty glasses. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Still, the quality of the food and the laid-back vibe keep us coming back. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you can catch the oyster deal.

Tried some different items on my second visit here and enjoyed everything. Service is still superb and the atmosphere relaxing. Still a perfect place for a nice classy happy hour.

This is definitely a great hangout with your friends. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We loved every single dishes we order including the dessert. And the biggest perk is that they have happy hour every day so I had to get my $1 oyster. First time experience and I will definitely come back.

I tried the oysters from the East and West Coast . The Bartenders at the bar are awesome ! Love their hospitality here. The space is big I'm surprised they are not packed out !

Nice dining area.

We tried this place for the first time tonight. It was pretty good. I was a little dubious about eating oysters in the middle of America, but these were good. They had a wide selection of oysters and I picked three of them and they were lovely. I also had the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, and the prawns were enormous if not a wee bit overcooked. They were kind of chewy. The cocktail sauce was excellent. My wife shared the calamari appetizer with her sister, and they both enjoyed it. The hush puppies were excellent! My wife shrimp was a little bit too spicy for her. The menu said hot shrimp, which she assumed to be warm, but it was actually spicy. I had the crispy fish tacos and they were wonderful. I like spicy things and especially enjoyed the habanero salsa. We were all too full for dessert, but they did look good. We are happy to return to Pearl Tavern soon.

Lobster Roll and fries
Kristen L.

Service was amazing and the food/ drinks came out fast considering it was packed the day I went. Lobster roll was a little less flavorful than I'd prefer but it was good.

This is our second visit for Pearl Tavern, thanks to restaurant week. Got there a little early and had some happy hour cocktails served by Deante. We joined our family for dinner. The fresh fish of the day was cobia, so ordered the grilled Cobia with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The fish had a nice buttery rich flavor, cooked perfectly and paired well with the creamy mashed potatoes. For the appetizer, I chose the blue crab dip from the restaurant week menu. The chips were too greasy & disappointing. My boyfriend got the clam chowder which very creamy and flavorful. For dessert I had the chocolate chess pie. It was a good mix of sweet, crunchy and salty. Gonna have to find a recipe to make it on my own. Service was exceptional at the bar & table.

The ambiance was nice, the food and service was great! The food was hot and fresh. The desserts were also delicious. We came here for our anniversary and we will return!

Happy hour fries
Jen S.

Had not been here in many years, we wanted to get hh and some snacks and this place did the trick! They had a great hh menu with several small plate options we got the shrimp boil, the ceviche the, fries, and a couple glasses of wine. If you're in the area I recommend you come by and try them out the seafood is fresh and fantastic. The servers also wonderful

Service is really great, Ambiance is good. My wife and I love the vibe... here comes the but... the…read morefood, after giving the place a half dozen tries, just hasn't been good. I could describe every experience with this restaurant but I'll leave you with the previous few. And I know what you're thinking, if the food was so bad, why do you keep going back? Well, hope and optimism. Rooting for Roots! We want the local place to succeed, but we've come to the conclusion that what they really need in order to improve, is honest feedback. But part of me hopes that it changes nothing. And here's why... my wife and I love this place. But in a weird way... allow me to explain, imagine the place as a Saturday Night Live sketch where the staff, the menu and ambiance are unapologetically pretentious, but the food doesn't deliver on any level. It's pure entertainment. We have dinner and an inside joke. First of all, for the price, you naturally expect elevated dishes and excellent service. We both had a cocktail, a glass of wine with dinner, an appetizer, entrees, salad and desert. Around $250 with tip. Pricey, but reasonable if the place delivers. On one visit we had the duck, which was served undercooked and when we mentioned it to the waiter, she scoffed, "that's the way it's supposed to be served." So feeling duly chastised for our ignorance, we shut up and ate the duck. I don't know the organism involved, but my wife and I were up all night vying for access to the bathroom. Enough said. Things were dicey, but no trips to the hospital. Six months or so had passed and finally, last night we rolled the dice and tried Roots again. My wife said her dinner was fine. She had stuffed salmon, adequate, but not great. For me, It was between the steak and the pork belly. Now I had the steak before once and it was... well it was definitely a steak. I'm not going to say much about it except for this... if you like the taste of a good glass of water, order the steak. So having experienced the steak already, I ordered the pork belly, which is an extremely tasty and forgiving cut of meat in my experience. But somehow at Roots, they figured out how to prepare it poorly. Yikes! It was dry as a bone, but only in the places where it wasn't tough as shoe leather. It had to have sounded like a rock when it hit the plate. The naturally rich flavor was cooked completely out of it, and any surviving seasonings were successfully burned away during the cremation process. I was starving so I made a valiant effort at finishing it, but it took several glasses of water and an inordinate amount of chewing. My wife laughed at me the whole time. I offered her a bite but she demurred, quipping that it had been a long week and she simply didn't have the energy. It was served with a "slaw" that consisted primarily of a plain sliced onion and slices of flavorless apple devoid of seasoning or dressing. I honestly don't know how this dish made it out of the kitchen, let alone a chef's imagination. It has become a quest for my wife and me. Like the holy grail of dining experiences, only a few minutes from our home. Ever the optimists, we will just keep trying Roots again every six months or so and hope for better on each trip... or not. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, please try Roots. We want them to succeed so we can keep coming back and having these comically terrible experiences. If pretentious irony is your spirit animal, please try roots. And Roots, please keep trying. We will keep spending $250 bucks for "dinner" and a show. PS, to add to your experience, ask for a booth when you arrive for your reservation, they will look you up and down and politely say "no" as they walk you past 4 empty booths. No explanation...

I stopped in with my girlfriend Lisa, who loves this place so much they basically have a little corner reserved for her. She likes to work from there because the Wi-Fi is good, the vibe is comfortable, and the food is consistently amazing. We sat at the bar, had a couple glasses of wine, and Austin took great care of us. Lisa had the steak special, which was the ribeye, and I had the salmon. Both were really, really great. The salmon was cooked beautifully and the whole meal was exactly why I keep coming back. One small callout: there was a $3 difference between what the salmon was listed for on the menu and what I was charged. I let Austin know so they could catch it for future guests. It did not change my overall experience, but I appreciated being able to mention it. Brandon, one of the co-owners, is amazing. He came out and spoke with us, and that personal touch is part of what makes Roots feel special. You can tell they care about the food, the service, and the people who come in. Their happy hour is amazing, and their seasonal menu changes are superb. I love coming in and trying different things. The salmon tacos are delicious, the birria fries are a must, and I always look forward to seeing what new crostini they are featuring since those change every few months. Roots is consistent without being boring. Great food, great service, great drinks, and a menu that keeps giving you a reason to come back. Can't wait to come back. See y'all next week.

Service - so this was the first point of failure. Our waitress was attentive, but very loud. Additionally,she kept saying "perfect" to every response we had. Even the negative ones. I can't blame her, but some coaching is needed. Too many of our interactions were of the "hit and run" variety. She's programmed for certain questions and follow up, but doesn't really process the responses. Continuing on with the service, there were two of us, both ordering from the restaurant week menu. Well, one entree comes, not the app, nor the 2nd entree. This was delivered by what I assume was a manager (how he was dressed). No questioning about why he'd deliver one entree to a table with 2 people, so I had to ask about the rest and he was walking away. Again, a "hit and run" interaction. We did eventually get the app and other entree. Food - so we got the salmon dip app, two of the meatloaf burgers and the beignets dessert. The salmon dip was ok. Not especially flavorful, but not terrible. The pita with it was not good. It was overcooked as greasy tasting so it distracted from the dip. The burgers were mixed. I liked mine. It was flavorful, and juicy. My partner did not like hers. I chalk this up to personal preference, so would give this 4 stars on its own. The beignets. Wow, these were, in a word, awful. First, they were not as described as there was supposed to be some sort of fruit dip with it and it was missing. What we got was greasy blobs of cooked dough. These heavy, flavorless things were nothing like actual beignets. They were drizzled with this cheap chocolate syrup and this white, maybe vanilla stuff. This was a miss all around by this location. Hopefully a one off, but they've been around long enough that these issues should happen.
