    Our server Efren was outstanding, he was very good at explaining the specials to my guest who had never eaten there. He introduced us to a new Pinot Grigio but we didn't like it (we are wine snobs, we prefer Santa Margherita), but the Bonvolio was fine. Food was excellent. It got light as night fell but the manager was great at turning the lights down and much more romantic. Thank you for a great Christmas week dinner.

    My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.
