La Bella Pearl's — Restaurant in Winchester

We went for a late Valentine's Day dinner on a Saturday night. The food was excellent and I felt the price was great for the quality and taste of the meal. I truly enjoyed the New York strip with portables, garlic mashed potatoes, and chard, and my significant other's jalapeno chicken pasta was great as well. For dessert, we opted for the flour-less chocolate cake with homemade ice cream. Neither of us had had a flour-less cake before, and weren't entirely sure what to expect, but it was one of the best deserts I've had.

The reason for a missing star is the service we had, and I must say, I think it was just our specific waitress, as all other tables seemed to be receiving prompt service. Unfortunately, other patrons sharing our waitress seemed to be missing out and were silently complaining at their tables similar to us. Our glasses were left empty for much of the night, we were not offered anything other than water, after bringing us our food, we weren't checked on again until about 3/4 the way through dinner, and we were left the check before we had even started eating our dessert. We did not receive service after that.

Based on the great food, reasonable price, and seemingly good service at other tables, I plan to return...

Pearl's was the most wonderful surprise on our trip down to Atlanta this evening. My husband and I were coming from Nashville and did not want a "fast food" dinner. He remembered a place from his childhood called Pearl's and we decided to take a chance. I'm glad we did!

We ordered a little of everything and split it - gnocchi, caesar salad (with the best homemade dressing I've ever had), fried pickles in wonton wrappers (so crispy and not too heavy or oily), cheeseburger (cooked perfectly and so fresh) and finished the meal with the BEST bread pudding I've ever had (and I've had my fair share)!

The owners were so kind and told us they took this over about 2 years ago. Our waiter Ray was very friendly and attentive. My only wish for Pearl's is that it was closer to Nashville. But I don't think we'll ever go to Chatt or ATL without making a pit stop here. Excellent food and warm environment - thanks...

We all ordered the chef specials. The main courses arrived about an hour and twenty minutes later and were just warm. Two of the entrees were fish and warm fish is unacceptable. The other entree was steak and lamb and they were just warm, too. We alerted the waitress and asked to just pay for the salads and soup we'd eaten and forget the rest. A woman came from the kitchen and tried to explain the food had come out right after being plated and may have only waited two or three minutes before being served. I doubt this because the fish wasn't hot. She said the food took so long because they were short staffed. The restaurant wasn't full when we got there but it was almost so when we left. This appears that they accepted more reservations than they could handle. I gave them two stars because the soup and salad bar were good. The rest may be good on a fully staffed night but I doubt I'll be back...
