CK Pearl

We discovered this gem on a rainy Sunday. Great place with amazing service and yummy food options.

This is one of my friend's from the area favorite place. We had to stop in for lunch while my and a group of my friend's were in from out of town. We were sat right away and had an awesome server. I honestly cannot remember her name but she worked last Friday at lunch time serving a table of 8 in the middle of the restaurant. We ordered delicious cocktails and started with some chowder, oysters and fondue with some amazing pork belly. The food all came out quick and delicious. Everyone enjoyed all of their entrees. No complaints at all. I absolutely LOVED my baked haddock. I don't think I have ever had haddock that wasn't fried and it has a great texture and flaked nicely. Great flavor! I would highly suggest this place for a delicious seafood lunch.

My boyfriend and I sat down at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon hoping to share some oysters and drinks. Unfortunately, the entire staff was too busy talking amongst themselves to be bothered with saying hello or taking our order. The most insulting part of this experience was that they were standing no more than 3-4 feet away from where we were sitting. There was no question that they saw us and when I looked over at them, no one would make eye contact with me. After over five minutes of this treatment we walked out. We've had enjoyable meals at CK Pearl in the past and were looking forward to trying it again. This was a real disappointment.

Hmm. I made a reservation for an outdoor seat hoping to snag one of the open-air spots overlooking the marsh but we got a screened-in seat instead. Think the best seats of the house may have been first-come, first-serve. I recommend coming as early as possible so you can get a better table and also avoid the traffic snaking up the two-lane road right outside, since Woodman's is right there as well. The apps were the star of the show (other than my kale salad). We went with the oysters, chowder, and fried clams. Oysters were on the much smaller side but well shucked and came with freshly grated horseradish. The chowder and fried clams were easily my favorites. Chowder came with fried clams and these crispy bits of potatoes, amazing. I figured I couldn't leave the area without trying some fried clams and these were excellent. My kale salad with shrimp fell a little flat. I'm never one to say this but the salad actually could have used some more dressing. There was plenty of cheese but overall, it was just really dry, not helped by the shrimp also being overcooked (and 4 medium shrimps for $13). The surf and turf burger also wasn't quite as good as it sounded. I couldn't taste any of the BBQ rub on the patty, probably since it was drowned out by the much stronger brie. The lobster also really didn't add much - it was just a markup. We should have taken the waiter's very lukewarm endorsement of the S&T burger to just get the regular cheeseburger. Overall, I recommend just sticking with the apps. Parking is really easy, just keep an eye out for the restaurant's own lot on the other side of the street.

Enjoyed everything I ordered. Waitress was knowledgeable about oyster selection and their flavor profiles. Lobster roll tasted amazing though on the smaller side. Wedge salad was unique and phenomenal. Great spot to enjoy a sit down meal by the water.

Out of town and visiting and my sister took me here. The clam chowder is the best I have ever had. The place is cute and casual and it's right on the water. The waiter was very nice and the food came in five minutes. My sister got the seared tuna tacos and her only wish was that it had a little more sauce or something to give it a pop to taste. Really enjoyed lunch here and hope to come back before I leave.

Pearl is a gem! Don't be fooled by the casual atmosphere. The food and cocktails are elevated.Ordering chowder with the pork belly topping is a must. I tucked into the lobster roll and could taste the ocean. The almond cake seems understated but its a WOW.It was a lively Saturday night but with our fabulous server, Will, we didn't notice any lag.When asked where I want to go to eat, my answer is almost always CK Pearl.

Tremendous kitchen. Relaxed setting with great food. A lot of thought and precision is exercised by the chefs here. The views of the salt marsh make for a pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend.

Great water views, attentive staff and yummy food. Highly recommend the chowder. Indoor seating, outdoor screened are and outdoor with umbrellas and nice bar seating over the water.

Had dinner here and both my wife and I were disappointed with our meals. Chowder was bland coconut shrimp was terrible. Service was good; however, it was expensive and we don't plan on returning.
