Black Pearl

About this business

The Black Pearl is widely viewed by Rhode Islanders as the dress-up place to go for fine dining in Newport. The classic American cuisine, from seafood to beef is recommended; and it is situated on a wharf in downtown Newport, so you can shop. Cafes and harbor views surround you as you walk by moored yachts on your way in and out. The Black Pearl can seat 200, has a full bar, offers a special late night menu and requires that men wear jackets to dine.

DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES!! – This was my first meal in Newport- and even though its right on the water and is supposed to have delicious seafood, I for some reason ordered a burger- and it was DELICIOUS! The service was also great.

Overrated – The Black Pearl is a remnant from days gone by when one didn't have a choice of great seafood resturants and were stuck with arrogant and unfriendly staff members and old antiquated ambiance. It took what seemed forever to even be acknowledged at the seating desk. Food was plain, nothing inventive nor mouth watering. Four of us were on vacation on the East Coast and have captured many places we plan on returning to, but this place is definitely not on our list. Save your money; better places all around you.

Best seafood – This place has the best seafood and clam chowder anywhere in New England. Make wait list reservations because the wait time is at least one hour. But the wait is worth every minute because you will never have seafood better than this.

Best Chowder In Rhode Island – Any visit to Newport must include a visit to The Black Pearl. Diners can choose from the tavern, the main dining room or the fun outside cafe. Any meal is not complete without an order of chowder. Rich with clams and potatoes, a creamy broth topped with dill and lemon, this is the quintessential New England styled chowder. The Pearl also features stellar burgers, fish and chips and grilled fish. For a sepcial treat, end your meal with the key lime pie.

Overpriced, Low Quality Food Made With No Pride – The Pearl raves about it's chef and his win in a major culinary competition by the front door menu board, well whover judged that competition never ate there! The food was boring, plain and made with zero pride. Whover that chef is (i refuse to even learn his name) should be embarrassed! I went July 3rd with 5 friends prepared for a long wait and we were happy to wait 1.5 hours at the outdoor and indoor bars for a table. Unfortunately, we were jammed into a corner table even ... read more

The Black Pearl – "The Pearl" is a great place to eat! The food is great,the patio is a nice place have a few drinks and enjoy the wonderful outdoors in the summer a. The tavern and patio are casual attire and DO NOT take reservations, there can be quite long waits in the summer so stop by about an hour or so before you want to dine. and the waitress' are some of the most beautiful in town
