The Black Pearl Review

Choose your ambience at this mainstay right on the Newport waterfront: formal dining in the forest green Commodore Room ($$$$, jacket required and reservations essential) where fried Brie, escargots bourguignon, rack of lamb, and roasted duck with raspberry-burgundy sauce are among the menu's classic offerings; casual lunch or dinner in The Tavern ($$$, no reservtions accepted) with its high-gloss black walls adorned with old nautical maps; or the relaxed outdoor patio and bar ($$) for the raw bar and famous clam chowder. You can buy chowder to go by the quart or half-gallon, too.

    Tavern too pricey

    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.
