Treasure Island | Dinner at the Perl.
What a treat. It is this time of the year again where we have our annual office diner party .We try to go to a different place every year but I have the feeling that this has stopped as of last night. We had a fantastic time at the Perl here in Treasure Island. I just love everything about this place.
First of all, you can't beat the location, right in downtown Treasure Island next to a cigar bar and a dance bar (for the after dinner things) The Perl has a really welcoming and cozy atmosphere and you can feel this the moment you walk in. It is as if Karim ( the owner | chef) and his wonderful staff, invite you into their living room and you instantly feel at home and well taken care of.
Talking about the Staff, everybody at the Perl is very knowledgeable and friendly and pays attention to you. We had the pleasure of being served by Nick, by far the best "host" you can find anywhere on planet earth.
I am using the word "host" deliberately, a waiter is just someone that brings you food, a "host" is someone that cares and takes pride in his job. As always, he was funny and in great spirits and we all had a wonderful time.
Now let's talk about food. There are a lot of good cooks in our area and Karim is probably the best one of them but what really sets him apart is his love for food and his love for cooking. You can see it in the presentation and you taste it with the very first bite.
He is very creative but won't overdue it. Everything is made from scratch with the freshest food you can find. The menu is a pleasure to read, perfect balance between International, Moroccan and American food.
He accommodates all your "special wishes" and I am not just talking about the "substituting rice for potatoes thing".
Last night, one of us wanted Sauce Béarnaise with her filet, now this is not something that you have in your pantry or you can just open a can. First of all, it is not easy to make a Sauce Béarnaise from scratch but the much bigger deal is that it completely interrupts your "kitchen process"
See a restaurant kitchen is a highly organized place where everybody has his job and follows and unwritten "plan" which is needed to get the food out in time etc. So, interrupting this process to accommodate "special wishes" ( in our case very very special wishes) is something you won't find anywhere else.
So, again, we all had a wonderful time at the Perl here in Treasure Island. The food was fantastic, the service was awesome and the atmosphere just brought it all together. If you visit Treasure Island you should not miss out on this experience. Put it on you to do list, you will be delighted.

I couldn't have said it any better! It was outstanding! The Pearl is a very cozy, fine dining restaurant and I was very happy to hear, that we were going there this year. The food is outstanding and you couldn't ask for a better service. Everybody at The Pearl is so accommodating and makes you feel special and welcome. The Sauce Béarnaise was the BEST. We had a good time (we always do), but the staff there made it the special occasion it was meant to be.
Reading your comment makes me hungry again.
Loved the food, Ron and I said we most definitely want to go back, this would be a wonderful place not only for a group but for a couple's night out. I am so glad I was there with you guys, and was able to try your dishes, too, there were so many yummy things at our table, it was a real feast! And what a wonderful atmosphere! Nick was the best server ever, can you believe it that he brought me some of that Chocolate to try when I questioned him about it? - Talking about going above and beyond! Thanks again for a wonderful time!!
Tanja, you and Nick were the best entertainment of the night. I had no idea that Belgium chocolate was such an interesting conversation piece
Just looking back at some of the posts from last years and having just joined this bevy of Beauties at South Beaches Real Estate I can only say that I am definately looking forward to this years outing
