The Pearl Nantucket Reviews from The Last Year
What a disappointment, truly one of the worst dining
What a disappointment, truly one of the worst dining experiences in our recent memory (10 years, 20?, east coast, west coast, NYC). We'd been wanting to try for several years, we'd heard good things from people we trust. Thus, it is not an understatement that we were absolutely shocked by the overly salted dishes (every one of the 5 we ordered!) and the heavy-handed preparation of each of them. Instead of fine nuances of flavors, it seemed as if the kitchen chose to pour thick Hoi San and soy sauce over each dish. Instead of herbs as described in the menu (say, for example, basil), three of our dishes had large amounts of cilantro dumped on top (with no mention of any substitutions by the server). While I ordered medium rare (and stressed to err toward rare) for the beef dish, it came as medium so I sent it back and did not request another. The ambiance I would describe as "let's party and eat some food!". The loud and social bar crowd seemed quite happy, and some of the (far younger than me) patrons seemed much happier than us (and tipsier) as we departed. The noise level was unacceptable, possibly the noisiest I've ever experienced (unacceptable because some curtains or fabrics could help). We had to repeat ourselves while talking to our server; she couldn't hear us and we couldn't hear her (or each other). There were smaller problems as well. We ordered the lobster rangoon, but the server informed us that they "always run out" for late seatings (which begs the question, why not always make more?). When asked "how is everything?", we informed the server that every dish was overly salty (so salty as to be unenjoyable and close to bitterly inedible)... and would she please let the chef know. She did not report back, nor apologize, and instead chose to mostly ignore us for the rest of our very uncomfortable time at their establishment. We chose to pay the bill and leave before our dessert came out. Although we knew that the meal would be pricey, this restaurant does not deserve to charge even half. While the overly sweet cocktail we ordered was pleasant and pretty, certainly not stand-out enough to order another. I'm sorry I hadn't read the reviews that its ownership had changed hands recently. Diners beware! My recommendation is you dine elsewhere, there are so many other amazing choices in Nantucket, especially at this price-point.
Kevin is such a lovely bartender! I had such a lovely time.
The decor is so much better than it was. More beautiful, friendly patrons and staff. I am definitely coming back often...
There are better restaurants on the island.
The servers were lovely. Cocktails were good. The food was ham-handedly prepared, overly salty. All the freshness was cooked out of it. Expensive doesn’t always mean good. Would not recommend. There are better restaurants on the island.
Beautiful and busy.
The Pearl is a very popular Asia seafood fusion restaurant. The Tokyo tots were truly unique. Small potato stacks with a caviar garnish. Also had the lobster lomein which was flavorful. Service was prompt and professional. Would definitely recommend for a unique dining experience in the town of Nantucket.
We've been annual visitors to The Pearl for 8 years, and
We've been annual visitors to The Pearl for 8 years, and were thrilled to see it reopen with much of the same menu as the prior management. Sadly, although the words are the same, the taste is not. But even putting aside the prior excellence, there is not dish we tried that we would recommend. Many offerings tasted like a bottle of over-the-counter soy sauce was dumped on it, drowning out any other flavors, and the overwhelming texture was soggy and mushy. Dinner for two, just over $350 (which was expected). Here's what we got: Crab Rangoon: Nothing remarkable, and most neighborhood Chinese restaurants would win in a taste test. Soggy and flat. Presentation was poor. Tokyo Tots: Basically bread pudding in a soy sauce soup. Mushy. Why order caviar if you can't taste it? Aren't "tots" supposed to be crisp? Dumplings: Again, the sauce over-powered any other flavor profiles. Why order lobster if you can't taste it? 60 Second Steak & Eggs: Bread pudding, again. Brioche was soggy and mushy. Sauce was too tart. Could not taste any of the other flavors. Wok Fried Lobster: We've been enjoying this dish for years. Even putting aside the former excellence, it was just "good". Halibut: This seemed to be the only dish we ordered that had a flavor profile you could actually taste, but the execution failed. The fish sat in the middle of a plate with a variety of flavors surrounding it, so I had to build my own taste experience on my fork. Some mouthfuls were awful (too much of this, not enough of that) and after confusion and effort, I put together some pretty good forkfulls. But rooting thru the greens, the spices, the herbs, veggies, etc. to try and recreate the good mouthful was beyond my skill set (that's why I eat out). The new decor is nice, drinks were excellent, the service was excellent, but the food was an expensive and major disappointment.
I don't usually provide on line reviews but I'm compelled
I don't usually provide on line reviews but I'm compelled to respond to the recent one star reviews of this Nantucket legend under new management. We were a party of eight last night and had an excellent experience. The service was perfect from the host who seated us immediately, to the server who was honest in his assessments of the entrees and very attentive, to the sommelier who provided an excellent recommendation of an obscure Swiss wine. Everything that was supposed to be hot was very hot and everything that was supposed to be cold was cold. We were neither rushed nor bored. The flavors were strong but not overbearing. Are there better values to be had? Perhaps. But the new Pearl is most certainly a superior experience to Dune, or most of its high priced neighbors. We'll definitely be bACK.
The lobster pasta is to die for.
The service was excellent and I had such a positive experience last night. Also the new interior looks amazing !!! So cute
Best food on island so far
The restaurant was very pretty and had a clean look. The food presentation was beautiful and all food was very flavorful. The rice and some other dishes were very salty, but flavor was good and no complaints
This is a great place! It's bright and beautifully
This is a great place! It's bright and beautifully decorated. The staff is incredibly friendly. Service is not rushed. The food is excellent. We ordered the passion fruit martini...YUM! The oysters are outstanding. Definitely try them with the homemade curry sauce they provide in a dropper. I'm not a curry person but this sauce is incredible. We also ordered the yellowfin tuna martini and the Wagyu tartare. Everything was outstanding but the wagyu tartare is the absolute best. We also ordered wine by the glass and it was a good pour and delicious. It is a little pricey but worth every penny. I look forward to going again. Thank you to everyone at The Pearl.
Ate at The Pearl this past weekend, and was so dissatisfied
Ate at The Pearl this past weekend, and was so dissatisfied with the service and the food. The place is beautiful, light, and elegant. We ordered the dumplings which were fabulous, an order of the fried rice which was mushy and disgusting to the palate, now onto their famous lobster entree... sorry to say, it was ok, not great. For $85, it should have been beyond delicious, very disappointed, and will never go back. The one star is for the ambience, and the dumplings.
Horrible.
Worst meal in 7 years living on Nantucket. Pepper flakes and salt is not cooking. Everything had some pepper spice flakes all over it. Scallop dumplings have no scallop in them. Idk what is in there, I sent them back. The chicken dish was so salty that it was inedible to the 4 of us. The oysters were ruined with some hot sauce. How do ruin local Nantucket oysters? The $85 lobster lo mein is a joke. Some lo mien with soy sauce and a tiny lobster sitting on top. You have to deal with the shell. We sent it back and asked them to at least take it out of the shell. And the waiter had an attitude like this place was something special. We graciously left a tip but even with the chicken and no scallop dumplings taken off it was still $400+. Don't bother going there.
Nope. Not yet. Maybe. But not yet. Server should also stop
Nope. Not yet. Maybe. But not yet. Server should also stop touching his hair as he moves between tables. Also a 4oz pour of wine is the normal pour?Comical.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
