Pearlstar - Scorrier United Kingdom

The scallops with cheese grits were delicious and very filling. The blackberry lagoon cocktail tasted great. The bartender provided excellent service. Looks nice inside and they have a really good outdoor seating area,

Came back after our stellar experience last time and left disappointed and will not return. Was sad to see that our favorite bartenders weren't there anymore. Sat at the bar and hoped to find new favorites but were totally underwhelmed by everything. Bartenders were messy and the drinks were boring and uninspired. Honey syrup and candied lemons..very five years ago. The bartenders working weren't friendly and seemed annoyed by us trying to engage with them. No one looked happy to be there and the manager was overheard speaking to employees in a manner where we understood why everyone seemed so sad. Oysters we're poorly shucked but other food items were just fine. It seems like the spirit of the restaurant is gone, and there's no amount of plants or cute decor that can make up for that.

Amazing food and great service! The oysters are the star! It's a lovely intimate place and we enjoyed everything we tried on the menu!

We (three) were there last night, each having a different selection for dinner and sharing two side dishes of Caesar Salad and broccoli. Everything was delicious, with the steak being perfectly prepared, the shrimp with pasta just spicy enough and the trout with grits lovely. We will most certainly return and tell our family and friends. As an addition, the broccoli was the best I have ever tasted.

Overall an incredibly underwhelming experience in an otherwise great dining city. Whoever is doing the oyster buying is doing a great job. We went for the potential of getting some Row 34 or Island Creek oysters (we visited their farm in MA this summer) and while we didn 't find them on the menu, the list was still impressive, oysters fresh, and we loved what we got. Our dressed oysters didn 't come with tepache vinegar, just a disgustingly overwhelming amount of pink peppercorn and some parsley. I 'll pass and you should too. Caesar salad had tasteless dressing, completely mushy, soiled, wet lettuce pieces (literally looked like mini black wet rags), and the more crisp lettuce turned discolored red because it had clearly been cut many days prior. The skirt steak was basically the moist, pull apart texture of pot roast which was also unsettling. The seared scallop tostada was just fine. I wish I would 've seen the laundry list of health code violations from Sept 15, 2022 before choosing this place to eat. Not worth it as the food and quality control basically sucks
