Came to Pearl Diver after the gym. I was in the mood for seafood and saw the restaurant had a fair number of good reviews. Pearl Diver was cozy, but not cramped. It had decent ambiance; I'd use modern bistro to describe the decorating style. I saddled up to a table by the window which allowed a view of both the restaurant and the goings-on of outside.
The menu at Pearl Diver is somewhat limited although everything looked really good. I had the pickerel, which came with a warm bacon-potato salad. The fish was prepared perfectly: It was still moist but hot when it came out. Other meals appeared equally as appetizing and well-presented. They also had a decent beer selection. The only place where I'd knock Pearl Diver down a point was the prices. They seemed to be more expensive than their peers in the neighborhood. Otherwise, I'd recommend Pearl Diver as a comfortable restaurant with quality food, especially seafood.
