| - I guess it's time to write an updated review of Pearlz since we've been going for 2 years now, I can't believe it's been that long already! We mainly stick to the tried & trues - Oysters Rockefeller, steamed mussels, peel and eat jumbo shrimp, gumbo, clam chowder, lobster rolls. Everything I've tried there was delicious and I think it's a great value for what you get.
Even if they're packed, you can usually squeeze in at the bar in a short amount of time. We get great service sitting there, plus you get a free oyster shucking show.
Speaking of service, I'm always impressed how willing they are to customize your order. Want your lobster roll hot with butter (do this, by the way) instead of cold lobster salad - no prob. Want those fish tacos blackened or grilled instead of fried - just ask. A lot of restaurants are really unaccommodating with special requests, so I appreciate that.
I would love to see them open a location Uptown to get that city vibe. Stonecrest is just so...well, you know. In the meantime, I'll just be glad I don't have to drive all the way to Charleston.
I am currently craving their gumbo, the best I've had in Charlotte - so I see a trip there in my near future!
