The Black Pearl Newport Reviews from The Last Year
Both my drink and clam chowder were amazing and the service
Both my drink and clam chowder were amazing and the service was equally just as great!
What a charming place.
I felt like we were tucked away in the hull of the ship. Erica was our very accommodating and friendly waitress. She was such a treat. I asked her to surprise me with drink and the espresso martini did not disappoint. My friend and I both enjoyed the delicious New England clam chowder. They truly deserve to be famous for it! Flavorful with tons of clam pieces. I personally am not a clam person, but certainly enjoy a savory NE clam chowder. On to the entrees ~ I ordered the salmon and could not have been more pleased. Honestly, I WANT to like salmon, but often do not care for the end result. Thank goodness this was such a treat, every morsel was juicy and balanced with the other flavors of the dish. My friend challenged herself to try the scallops and Brussels (even though she can be very picky about Brussels). The dish was exquisite! I tried a bite of her scallops & a Brussel sprout and I soooo wished that I could have ordered her dish as well as my own! It was amazing. The portions were "just right" for these hungry ladies who had not eaten since breakfast (it was now around 5/530PM). We also, being on vacation, did not prefer to carry leftovers away. Still.... I was so tempted to order that scallops entree! Thank you, Erica, for being such an awesome credit to your team. We will most definitely come here on our next trip and highly recommend to others.
After hearing how good the food, specifically the clam
After hearing how good the food, specifically the clam chowder, was here, I decided this would be the perfect place for my wife and I to enjoy our anniversary dinner. It took me several attempts to make a reservation, which was frustrating, but I was finally able to get in at 7:00 on a Sunday night. The dining room is rather small, and a bit dark, but it could be romantic I guess. The server was a bit unhelpful; she seemed more interested in just getting our order and moving on than she was in answering our questions. I thought the prices were a bit high for what you get. We ordered the chowder and then shared the whitefish. The fish was ok, but a bit bland. It was served over orzo that was just a bit undercooked to be al dente. The chowder was good, but we had better for less and several other places while we were in town. Overall we were disappointed, and I felt like I still owed my wife a fancy anniversary dinner. Given there are a lot of other places that we visited and enjoyed more, we probably won't return.
Dinner at the Black Pearl
We had dinner in the Tavern and they were very busy. It was small and quaint. Service was excellent. We both had scallops and they were fantastic. My only complaint was that there were no substitutions allowed. They were served with grits and brussel sprouts, so we each ended up paying six dollars for sides. I have not experienced that before. Regardless, I would recommend this restaurant...just know before you go.
Soooo good! I had the scallops and they were perfect.
Great service. All in a place that feels casual but has top class food.
We have been going to the Black Pearl for years and years.
We remember when you could count on consistently good chowder, the best chowder anywhere. Yesterday, not so much. Sent it back as it was cold and runny, lacking flavor. Nothing like it used to be. Sent it back, it was delivered a second time seemingly microwaved. Adding insult to injury was the obnoxious table of 8 drunken adults with no manners and when we discussed this with the manger she refused to intervene, despite the numerous complaints from other patrons. Inevitably, it didn't end well when the drunken adults became loud and vocal with us for noticing our complaint to the manager. They ruined our experience and that of many others. They were so loud we couldn't hear each other speak. The waitress was a dream, wish I remembered her name. Had it not been for her and her pleasant demeanor and excellent service I wouldn't have much good to say. $387 total on our bill.
Been a customer since 1976.
Today was a sad day. Clams casino were grease bombs with zero flavor. First round of clam chowder was cold, sent back, obviously microwaved. Obnoxious crowd in the dining room and Manager refused to even try to ask them to behave. Sad day, do not waste your money ($378.00 for 4). HORRIBLE.
Pretty good.
Had the clam chowder and a Corona. I think they forgot our clam chowder at first cause all the complex food came out before it... and we reminded... but it's all good. Was good enjoyed our time :) Service quick, ambiance nice
The oysters were smaller than expected and the salad and
The oysters were smaller than expected and the salad and Alfredo were alright. The vanilla creme brûlée and drinks were good though.
Not what we were expecting
Went to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Had checked menu online, got there and none of the things we wanted were on the menu. They do not put their menu online, it is through other websites. Food was average and expensive. Our main course came before our appetizer. We won't be going back!
So sad what has happened to this place.
It used to be so good. Now, the kitchen can't handle the volume of people they are trying to serve. The chowder was lukewarm and watery. The food in general is really hit and miss. You go for the vibe and experience but not for the food. Lobster still great (hard to mess that up) but they need to pay more attention to the other menu items and overall quality and presentation. It's bordering on a food kitchen/dining hall experience now.
Their chowder is amazing.
I had the lobster it was really good. The prices were very reasonable but we did go in December I'm sure they up the prices in July. Service was very good. We had reservations but still have to wait a bit. All in all a good experience.
Great spot for lunch.
The seafood is fresh, there is plenty of outdoor seating and great views. The staff was friendly and prices reasonable.
Fabulous
Amazing location, atmosphere, service, and food! I had the clam chowder and lobster ravioli, and my husband had oysters and the swordfish special. Everything was wonderful. Romantic/adult setting that is not the best for kids, though there were a lot of bored looking/acting kids with their families while we dined there. I felt sorry for the servers (and myself) at times. While there are several child-friendly restaurants in the area, this isn’t one of them.
What happened? I've been coming here for 40 plus years.
They had the best chowder and a fantastic burger. The menu has changed, sadly. The Tavern Burger which replaced the Pearl Burger isn't even close. Fries were few and had been hanging around for a while before being served. All the dill that used to be in the chowder is gone. So sad to mess with such a wonderful place.
Really good restaurant.
Service was fantastic -- great drinks. Salmon, Swordfish, Clam Chowder all very well prepared and super tasty... will be back.
I can't clam up... the Chowder is #1 on the planet, but a full lunch will cost you quite a few clams as well.
If you have never been to the Black Pearl, it is a gem. The chowder (which is creamy New England style, not the clear Rhode Island type) is unparalleled, #1 and my old #2 long since underwater. Lunch for 6 (four adults and two smaller children) was still North of $200 pre-tip, so my recommendation is to have a cup (bowl is too much) of chowder and a beer or wine and then do it again the next day (or later the same day as the younger people did). Come out of your shell and get down to the Pearl.
Award worthy clam chowder
We heard rave reviews about the clam chowder so we stopped in for take out. I'm happy to report the reviews are accurate and the chowder is delicious. Next time we may eat in for a full meal.
Over rated chowder
Supposedly the chowder is the best in Newport, not IMO Husbands mussel and Brussels hood. Not the best or worst. They have a great outdoor space, may have been a better lunch choice.
On the Warf
Order the swordfish sandwich and thinking it would be a thickish piece of fish I asked that it be cooked medium. What I received was a thin, overdone disappointment. Sadly the bread was the best part of the meal. Too bad, this could be a better experience.
Not as expected
Great venue. Friendly staff…food not what expected. Basically, the food sucked. Chowder was very thin and the BLT was bad.
Great clam chowder
Great clam chowder. Nice outdoor dining. Must stop here for lunch or afternoon cocktail. Reservations for dinner. Will always return to The Pearl.
Do not waste your money.
Over priced and limited menu. The website advertised clam chowder at one price but was actually double. No bread was available either.
Great food and professional service
This restaurant is a Newport institution; it sits right on the wharf and has fantastic views of the water. It gets super busy here, especially on weekends, so make a reservation or be prepared to wait. We got a table after a 15-minute wait, but the food was worth it. The menu is pretty big, so there's something for most people. We shared the stuffed mushrooms, salmon filet, and the cod, and everything was incredible! Really good service as well: our waitress was friendly and attentively professional. Prices reflect the quality of the restaurant. We enjoyed lingering over our meal so we could enjoy the views.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
