Pearl Restaurant and Champagne Lounge combines the chic ambiance
of Miami nightlife with a sophisticated dining experience.
From celebrities to business tycoons and socialites, Pearl
pleases its crowd with a selection of exquisite champagnes,
a unique menu, and seashell inspired décor. As the latest
Fresh International Rhythms are played in the background,
and an amber-hued glow creates an unparalleled atmosphere,
Pearl Restaurant and Champagne Lounge is the perfect compliment
to the casual, beach chic style of it’s
counterpart—Nikki Beach.
You can never be too rich, too thin or too self-consciously hip
to make the scene here.

a wall of bubbling water, eerie purple lighting and champagne
bar surrounded by chairs that resemble giant, mutant Martian
seashells. Late nights, Pearl becomes prime territory for the
local beautiful people, who dance cheek to chic until the wee
hours. Service is tinged by South Beach's infamous 'tude and
isn't terribly competent either.
The
Food
If the cuisine here isn't quite as exciting as the decor, who's
going to notice? Starters of fire-roasted shrimp with poblano
chili syrup and tuna tartare-mango-tobiko "parfait" are
better than day boat scallops with salty saffron risotto and
bland vanilla-lime vinaigrette. Sushi is also on the menu. Fancifully
named Duck, Duck, Goose and chocolate-banana bread pudding read
