The Pearl at South Bay, an upscale seafood grill and raw bar, is a beacon of gastronomic delight nestled in District Avenue. Owned and operated by natives of Roxbury, the establishment is deeply rooted in local values, showcasing a blend of Southern hospitality and city sophistication that is as refreshing as it is enticing. With a commitment to a high-quality culinary experience, The Pearl serves up an array of delectable handmade cocktails from a patio-accessible bar and champions a local ethos in everything it does. From sourcing ingredients to hiring staff, it’s clear that this eatery is not just another restaurant, but an integral part of the community.
The menu at The Pearl is a dazzling medley of the finest seafood delicacies, each dish masterfully crafted to bring out the unique flavors of the sea. From the raw bar, patrons can indulge in various oysters, such as the briny Moondancer Petite from Damariscotta River, Maine, or the Chebooktook from New Brunswick, Canada, known for its large, smooth meats and sweet, brothy finish. The mains are a culinary tour de force, featuring dishes like the sumptuous Lobster Mac & Cheese laden with cheddar, blue cheese, and a Ritz cracker topping, the Chilled Lobster Roll served on a toasted buttered brioche roll, and the Seafood Trinity – a heavenly combination of mussels, jumbo shrimp, and whole split grilled lobster. Brunch-goers can revel in the Avocado Toast, adorned with smoked salmon and avocado cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with tomatoes and red onions. Every dish is a testament to The Pearl’s devotion to culinary excellence, making it an unmissable destination for those searching for sublime seafood fare. www.thepearlsouthbay.com
