I’m genuinely confused with 4.3 stars because they don’t reflect my experience here in the slightest. This is one of my favorite go-to spots, and I’ve yet to have a bad meal.

The chicken masala is outstanding—rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. The wood-fired pizza is consistently excellent with a great crust, and the pasta dishes are always fresh and flavorful. Drinks are well crafted and pair nicely with the food.

Service has always been friendly and welcoming. It’s not lightning fast, but it’s attentive and relaxed, which I appreciate. This isn’t fast food—it’s a place where food is actually being prepared properly.

They also host live band nights. Personally, I find them a bit loud, but I can see why others enjoy them—the place fills up and has a great energy. It’s nice to see a local spot offering something beyond just dinner.

Every restaurant can have an off night, but judging this place by a handful of bad reviews does it a disservice. If you’re looking for quality food, good drinks, and a lively local atmosphere, this place absolutely deserves your visit.

La Pearla Restaurant at The Gregory Inn has been around for 25 years. I haven’t been here in a long time and the food and service continues to be excellent. Tonight our party ordered fried calamari and stuffed portobello mushrooms as appetizers. Very good choices. I haven’t had fish in awhile so I ordered the filet of sole francese with a side of angel hair pasta. It was an excellent meal and did not disappoint. Dessert was tartufo which is an ice cream ball covered in a chocolate shell. Very delicious. Our waitress was great and we did not have to wait long for our food. They serve warm fresh bread which your meal. La Pearla is also known for their brick oven pizza, which I recommend. Their prices are also reasonable and that is important in this economy. I dont know why I waited so long to return here. This is a place you should not pass by.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-day stay! Our meal in the bar was absolutely delicious (try the portobello mushroom appetizer; you won’t be disappointed), and our room was very comfortable and well-appointed. The staff is friendly and helpful, the building is charming and nicely decorated, and the location is convenient to our local family. We would definitely stay again!

They made the chicken supreme (with mushrooms in a brandy cream sauce) gluten-free on GF angel hair pasta. It was superb and so delicious that my friends asked if they could lick the plate!

Food was excellent but on the pricey side and it was my 1st time there. Service was great at 1st. Our waiter Joe was very friendly and helpful all through our appetizers and meal. Then after that he disappeared and had two other people attend to us. Which took a while. Eventually Joe came back to us to give us our bill.

What started out as an end-of-work-week date night for my wife and I turned into absolute frustration due to dining here.

We were seated and took a while for someone to come over to take our drink order. All we ordered was a Diet Coke and lemonade. That took 10 minutes.

We ordered an appetizer of bruschetta- that took 35 minutes.

Since we were also trying to get to a show on time we had to ask for boxes for our entrees to go.

We thought that leaving over an hour for dinner would be sufficient to eat and get to the show on time but the wait time for everything was maddening.

I also caught up with a friend who unbeknownst to me was dining at the restaurant at the same time and had the same experience.

It’s really a shame because from what I tasted, the food was delicious but the first thing I said to my wife when we got in the car was, “I’ll never go back there.”

I don’t know how to say this otherwise then just to say, wow. What a find.

We first found out about this restaurant. Believe it or not by winning a raffle at the local arts Center. We finally made reservations to come and we were not disappointed.

Everything was easy. Making the reservations, parking, getting set up at a table and ordering and receiving our food all went off without a hitch.

Every room has its own ambiance, and we can’t wait to come back and be seated in all the little nooks and crannies.

For this trip we were seated in the main dining area, which is actually also the bar area. I will say we most likely won’t want to be seated there again, it got a little loud at the end with people at the bar having conversations from one end of the bar to the other. That may not be the most common occurrence, but it sure wasn’t how I wanted to end by meal.

Other than that, the ambiance and local flavor was fine and dandy, I really enjoyed our servers, and patrons were absolutely who I would want to see on a regular basis if this were my local dining haunt.

We live about 30 minutes away, and I will say that driving home was a little bit of a challenge. I think it would be easier if we came on a summer night before daylight savings times had been reset, because driving home in September was a little bit dark, the roads are very curvy, and everyone seems to have their high beams on and there was quite a lot of traffic on the way home. Lesson learned, we will try to come a little bit earlier in the future.

The food was fantastic! My wife had the eggplant parmesan, and she ate every single bite. There was a bowl of angel hair pasta that came on the side, which she didn’t even touch and brought home along with this amazing loaf of Italian bread.

I had this fantastic salad with crab and sauteed shrimp. It was a large portion, and I enjoyed every bite and almost couldn’t finish it.

As a side note, on the way home I got a call from the restaurant. I had left my jacket, and they did not waste a minute to let me know. We turned around and came back and they were waiting at the door for me. The people that work here really deliver high quality service and really make you feel at home.

We will definitely be back again.
