We came on a busy Saturday for lunch and only waited about 20 minutes for 4 dishes- Calamari, New England chowder, Fish N Chips, and a Salmon Burger. The Calamari was good and crispy, the chowder was delicious, Fish N Chips did not disappoint or taste fishy and were perfectly crispy, and the Salmon Burger was also good (only $10)!! We found seating right outside of the store Spun.

I was extremely impressed with the care of the employees and how delicious my food was…read more I'm in a season where I have to omit certain major allergens from my diet for safety reasons (allergens that are not easy to substitute or to eat out in general), and real seafood was able to go above and beyond to accommodate these allergies. We were able to call a few days prior so that they can make special side dishes that were Allergen friendly. We were celebrating our 13th anniversary and though I couldn't eat a lot of the special food When celebrating, everything still felt very special and the things that I could eat were absolutely phenomenal. I was very impressed. I would say this is a high 4, with one star down because even after talking to the manager and reminding the weight staff, the kitchen still brought me out two types of dairy with my appetizer, which led me to be a little paranoid the rest of the meal. After looking through the ingredient list which were provided promptly and graciously my trust was restored, but I always get a little bit nervous when it comes to allergies when I see that the staff in Kitchen and front staff are not communicating well. It was still a lovely meal, and I appreciate them going above and beyond to accommodate my allergens. I got the crabcake, surf and turf, a special request drink from the bar that was nonalcoholic, and a sorbet with fruit. I'm still dreaming about the crabcake and surf and turf. It was so good and cooked perfectly. I can't wait to try to re-create the crabcake at home. I was astounded at how delicious it was. I really enjoyed the fresh mango and strawberry in the salad that came out with a crabcake. Even though the crabcake sauce and the salad dressing both had dairy and were served with my appetizer, it was yummy without those sauces. It would've been nice if someone offered me an alternate sauce or had thought to tell me that they contain my allergy and I thought we were on the same page. I got a cherry limeade drink from the bar and it was very delicious. I don't normally get drinks but it was kind of fun to get something fruity and fun for a celebration. The bread was delicious and didn't contain the allergens so I was able to enjoy it without butter. I am not normally a sorbet girl and I probably wouldn't have normally ordered dessert here but since we were a celebrating, I wanted to try some thing sweet. I couldn't believe how good the sorbet was. It was a little rich, but it was so tasty. I think it would've been really excellent paired with a very light not overly sweet vanilla bean cake. It was so fruity and rich that it needed something to balance it out. I'm not complaining. It was excellent in a very nice end to the meal. Overall, 4.5 stars all of the stuff was lovely and it was nicely decorated for Christmas. Thank you so much for the lovely anniversary dinner!

We came as a foursome for dinner and were super impressed with the staff and the unbelievable food. We had numerous appetizers and also some entrees. Everything was so on point and delicious, I literally overstuffed myself with deliciousness. The Ceviche, Coconut Shrimp, Crab Dip, Brussels Sprouts, Fish Tacos, Smash Burger and Scallops were absolutely ridiculous!!!! Next time I'm in Ann Arbor, this place is a must stop. It is now my favorite restaurant in the area. If you are in AA, you have to give The Black Pearl a try. Check out my pics for validation.

We arrived at 615 and we ordered the crab dip which while it had great flavor, I did not find a chunk of crab in it. We ordered the beet & burrata salad, gumbo, the scallops, and smash burger around 645. Our salad didn't come out prior to the entrees and when I asked about it after 30min, I was told it would come out with everything. Our food didn't come out until 745 and while the salad was delicious. The 4 scallops were good but the potatoes were coagulated like it had been sitting there for quite some time and then it was $60!! A third of the check and I could only eat the scallops and snow peas. Our waitress was also aloof the whole time and barely came to check on us. She didn't ask how the food was or anything. I shared my opinion on the potatoes and nothing was done with the check or a discount. The outdoor patio was nice, But I don't think I would go back...

The only way that you can get crab legs is in a "crab boil". There were 6 of us and the total bill was $210, 3@ crab boils & 3@ hibachi meals, all beverages were bottles or cans and the service was not the best! Never will visit this place ever again-BEWARE OF THE PAST REVIEWS!!!

Wow. This place really raises the bar in every way possible…read more The drinks and desserts are the best I have had IN MY LIFE. Yes that's right. My husband said he had the nest hazy ipa of his life here too. A wild claim for foodies like us. They offer takeout in case you don't feel like crowding inside. AND they have the only pickle plate appetizer I have been able to find in the state of Michigan. Oh how i have missed these house pickles in different brines. The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great.

Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!

The service was notably poor throughout the night. We had to repeatedly prompt our server just to get water refills. She never offered us additional drinks, nor did she ask if we wanted dessert--in fact, we barely saw our server at all after the food arrived. On top of the service issues, the food fell short of expectations, especially given the high price point. At this price range, we expected significantly better food quality and flavor. Sadly, based on this experience, we will not be returning.

The wait staff were super friendly. The drinks were also really good, and the spicy margarita may honestly be my favorite one in Ann Arbor!

Their ambiance is really nice with saxophone music playing, unique wall paper, and pretty lights. Our server was really friendly and helpful. I will say, my plate had a stain on it when I first sat down so I asked for a fresh one. The waitress let us know that typically dinner takes a whole of 1.5 hours. She said she times it based off of how we eat. For example, she brings the drinks and appetizers out first and then once we finish that, she brings the salad or soup. And then from there, she brings the entree's. Their beignet bread was delicious with the garlic butter (I even asked for seconds later on)!! Their salad was also really tasty (I got the lemon dressing one) and it comes with croutons that are just like the beignet bread but made in smaller sizes and slightly crispier. We enjoyed calamari and fig with bacon appetizers. Everything was very tasty! We will definitely return! Bathroom was clean but the seat was just super low (like for a child). We parked at the nearby lot and it cost $9 for about 2 hours.
