We're visiting Savannah but wanted something with a local vibe and came across Pearl's Saltwater Grille on Google, what a fantastic find!
We didn't have reservations and the wait was quoted only 20 minutes, but we opted immediate seating at the bar.
Our Bartender/Waiter was Joe, and he was top notch, friendly, informative and efficient, recommending cocktails, (we chose a Bahama Mama, way too tasty!) and explaining menu items.
We had a cup of she crab soup to start, and it was smooth, creamy & decadent, with nice chunks of crab. Also brought to us was a fresh, hot batch of their hush puppies. We agree that they aren't the traditional hush puppies normally made with corn meal, but more of a doughnut batter. Still, with a nice crunchy exterior & fluffy interior, these bites are so addictive, and absolutely not greasy.
For entrees we decided on the Parmesan Crusted Grouper with Crab and the Crab Stuffed Flounder. Both were absolutely delicious, the portions were exactly enough to leave clean plates.
We both agree that this restaurant was an absolute gem of a find, and whenever we return to the area, Pearl's Saltwater Grille will be top on our list!
