The Black Pearl

The Black Pearl Review

At this converted dock shanty, popular with yachters, clam chowder is sold by the quart. Dining is in the casual tavern ($$, reservations not accepted) or the formal Commodore's Room ($$$-$$$$, jacket required, reservations essential), with its vintage nautical paintings and silver flatware. The latter serves an appetizer of black-and-blue tuna with red-pepper sauce. French and American entrées include duck breast with raspberry-Burgundy sauce and swordfish with tomato-basil beurre blanc. The outdoor patio is packed in summer.

    The other room was booked, so we tried the Tavern. It was packed, rather loud. The bill for two, with a bottle of wine, was over $100. However, the food was just average. I had sole and the portion was very small. So, we suggest you try another restaurant if you're planning to shell out 100 bucks.
