Reviews for The Pearl in Dorchester, MA
First time here, small but very pretty, service greeter was very nice and pleasant. No reservation (didn’t know we needed one-... it was lunch- ish early dinner330-4pm) they accommodated us and sat at the bar. Unfortunately no alcohol was consumed and feltless than welcomed at the bar. No water refill either but we were there for food. Food took a little while to come Out Bang bangshrimp was ???? so good cooked perfectly and sauce was amazing lil kick. Salmon tacos were good but lacking some flavor- maybeadd some either sweet or spicy sauce or something on top When you bite into it the slaw in on bottom so if you don’t fit itall in your mouth it’s just salmon without flavor. Bacon ???? wrapped scallop- nothing worse than an over cooked scallop???? I will definitely go back with a reservation and try the brisket Mac n cheese and stuffed oysters looked amazing. Themusic was great! Read more
We chose this spot for a family birthday dinner. I ordered the oysters, which were excellent, and the fish tacos (which needed a... touch more seasoning, but weren’t bad). The brisket mac n cheese, burger, and mussels were also ordered, and there were nocomplaints. The drinks???? were on point. Definitely worth visiting if you haven’t already been. Plus the staff was friendlyand accommodated our party of 8 adults and 2 kids. But be sure to make reservations! Read more
Nice little seafood spot. We got clam chowder and lobster rolls and both were really pretty good, no complaints. Everyone in... there was extremely friendly and the service was definitely 10/10. Lobster roll was a tad on the pricey side at 39$, otherwisegood overall experience. I'd go back again. Read more
Good Food and atmosphere. Giving a 1 star less because the grits could have been better seasoned. I can see why some people do... not like grits. A bad experience can shape an opinion for life. BUT, if you know you know.... and this just wasn't it for me. Read more
Food was GREAT and the staff was very friendly. I love the concept of shareable plates. You get a chance to try a little bit of... everything. Its hard for me to even recommend anything because it was all so good. Eye roll good. Love the vibes. Outdoorsitting is super cute. If I had to pick one ,Try the bang bang ???? you won’t be sorry.

This is a great spot in the South Bay center area by Dorchester. Atmosphere is great, drinks are good and the food is good too.... The music is great too with a live DJ there. Really enjoyed our time here and will be back again with more friends. The placefills up fast and is a bit small if the patio isn't open but I can't wait to check this place out again over the summer. Thisspot is great for POC and we need to support more places like this. Read more
I started with their signature drink The Pearl Potion which was pretty & tasty. Then we tried the calamari, truffle fries and... the chargrilled oysters which were all delicious. For an entree I ordered the Tuscan pasta with shrimp which I loved. Next timei want to try the roasted chicken. For dessert i had the apple crumble cheesecake which was amazing. All the food is cooked toorder so you will have to wait. But the good music, well stocked bar and great friendly atmosphere make it easy. Read more
I had an awesome brunch here! I'm not usually a fan of french toast, but I just had to try the banana bread french toast and it... was delicious! I loved The Pearl Potion cocktail! I'm pretty picky about breakfast potatoes and theirs were well seasoned,crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Best of all though is the atmosphere. Yes, it's a small place but it has a verychill but vibrant vibe. I'll definitely be back! Read more
