Mike NadelmanSeptember 7, 2013Get there at 7pm on a Friday and go to the 3rd floor for great social dancing and food. Not expensive and the food and service is very good. Live Chinese and Latin band. Lively group.

Crystal G.July 6, 2012The Pearl Dinner is great if you want to try a variety of different dishes. It's a big portion so you'll want to share.UpvoteDownvote

Remi SerriereNovember 11, 2012Food is good but it's difficult to understand how it works... You'll have to ask. Service is TERRIBLE! Waitresses add circles on your check, and bill wrong amounts on your credit card! Check twice!UpvoteDownvote

C:August 25, 2014Used to the kind of service at Chinese restaurants but the waitress was extremely pushy and suggested how much we should tip her. Food is mediocre to downright terrible and not fresh.
