| - With an interior combining a clean, attractive mix of whites, light browns, and light wood, Pearl gives off the aura of being a casually upscale restaurant. The view out the window is of Centre Island, which must be beautiful during the day in the Spring and Summer when there's green on the trees. However, I'd imagine that there's not much of a view at night or during the winter as there are no buildings and seemingly nothing to light up the island.
The service is attentive and the food pretty good, the menu featuring dishes I hadn't tried before--namely curry cuttlefish. However, that said, the prices at this restaurant are absolutely absurd, I have never seen prices like on this menu: almost $3 for a glass of soda, $9 for an appetizer of calamari, and $17 for ginger chicken. There are a few lunch specials starting at $12. While I enjoyed my lunch, the prices alone are enough to discourage me from returning.
