The Pearl — Restaurant in Stuart

First time here tonight and the atmosphere was amazing, great one man band- we said wow this is going to be our new place! Well that was until the food came. The shrimp cocktail was great! The mahi bites were so overly fried you had to wonder why. Was it even mahi? The fish was hard as a rock and way over fried. We asked the server whether to get the smash burger or pizza. She said definitely don’t get the pizza, it’s not good. So we get the smash burger, upgrade to truffle fries. They come out and before she sets it down we say, that looks like regular fries. So instead of leaving the burger and bringing us the correct fries, she brings the whole plate back so the burger gets cold. She brings back the same plate with aioli drizzled all over the fries. Gross. There was NO truffle at all in the aioli or the fries. When we told her this she just said “okay” and walked away. I was expecting the “okay” to mean she was going to go fix it but no, nothing. Of course she barely came back after that. The burger was also burned and the bun was not good either. Then the people next to us ask her about the pizza and we hear her tell them them it’s great, after just telling us it was terrible. Wow. The food and drinks are way overpriced for what it is. Also, you can’t tip lower than 20% on their card reader so there’s that. I’d love to come back if they could fix a few things since we live nearby. Feel free to reach out...

The Pearl is a hidden gem (pearl) sandwiched between Pirate's Cove and Two Georges. It's barely visible from the road and I only found it from a recommendation given at another location. Anyway, it is by far the classiest place in the whole area. Service, drinks, and bar food are all exceptionally good. The environment is very comfortable and spacious with an excellent view of the marina and Manatee Pocket waterway. You don't feel like packed-in sardines as seating offers generous private space. Seating includes a combination of sofas and individual chairs which are very comfortable. The drinks are absolutely the best I've had and although their restaurant isn't opened yet, their bar food is exceptionally good. They also have live music with a very generous dance floor. I can't think of a single negative comment for The Pearl and highly...
