I've driven past Pearlz Restaurant a number of times during my trips to Kroeger's in Bluffton. On Friday night I decided to visit for dinner.
Pearlz describes itself as: "Bluffton's premier, casually elegant restaurant featuring upscale decor and exquisite, modern American cuisine!". OK! You don't have to shout!
Upon arrival, a friendly hostess seated us in a very tall booth. Normally, I would be grateful for this - I like my privacy - however the restaurant wasn't very busy, had interesting decor and an actual real, live piano player -- things I would like to enjoy. The booth was so tall and private, I couldn't see anything except to the right, from which where we entered. It was almost like being seated in a black hole -- except for an kind, attentive waitress that brings you food and drink.
Did Pearlz live up to it's own, loud, self-description? Yes, Pearlz service was "premier". And the wine was "exquisite". Sure, the food was "casually elegant". And me? I was casually impressed. I think the whole experience would have been nicer had we sat at the empty bar, enjoyed the great piano player in person and took in our surroundings.
4/10/06 UPDATE: Pearlz has since gone out of business.
