Black Pearl - Ann Arbor (MI)

4 /5 Jamie MacLaren: My husband and I went on a date night for my birthday. I started off with a mocktail and he with a cocktail which were both good. For an appetizer we had the crab dip which was delicious. For the main dish my husband had the fish tacos which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the scallops, which unfortunately were not great-the scallops themselves didn’t have much flavor and the orzo was lumped together and under cooked. For dessert (free for my birthday) we had the crispy coconut mochi tart, which I would eat many times over again. Non-food related, the single stall bathroom was out of toilet paper. I would give it another chance and just not order the scallops again.

4 /5 Gino Benatti: We came here for our wedding anniversary dinner. Made a reservation through their website. There were confusion on seating at the hostess stand on previous guests and we were standing there waiting for a few moments, but the hostess did apologize and we were seated near a window. Would have loved it but those tables were too close to the ones behind us to the point I could hear their conversation. I did put it was our wedding anniversary in the reservation and no acknowledgment by anyone or ask what’s the occasion. Our waiter Matt A was a saving grace. His service and overall spirit was very welcoming. We tried their version of an old fashion (7.4 out of 10), crab dip (7.7 but we were hungry), shrimp tempura roll (4.6….tasted like sushi from Kroger), sea scallops (7.3) and seafood tortellini (8.6). Overall, I’d come back but would probably only order the coconut shrimp (as it arrived at other tables it looked amazing) and the tortellini. We went to a nearby restaurant for dessert.

5 /5 C L: Great experience. Great food. Great drinks. Newly renovated to accommodate more seating and a bigger bar area. The Honey Miso Steak Tips were incredible, as was the Seafood Penne. Black Orchid Cocktail to pair was a great choice as well.

4 /5 TaKeisha Eatman: Perhaps I made the wrong menu choice. I ordered the sushi. It was just okay. Ive had better sushi from Kroger. However the drinks were great. The server Madison was attentive and accommodating. Favored ice tea was not on the menu. However, she created a delicious peach tea that I thoroughly enjoyed.
