Menu Variety - Awesome

There are 16 items on the HH menu, all priced at $8. There is a good variety of meats, vegetables, and seafood options. Also a good selection of beer, wine, and well drinks.

Food Quality - Awesome

We went with another couple and shared:

• Onion Rings - $8
• Forest Mushrooms - $8
• Baked Goat Cheese - $8
• Bleu Cheese Steak Strips - $8
• Pork Sliders - $8
• Stella Artois Beer - $6
• Lemon Drop - $12
• Cabernet - $8

All food came hot within about ten minutes of ordering. The mushrooms, goat cheese and steak strips were outstanding. The pork sliders and onion rings were both very good, but not as over the top as the other three items. Serving sizes were generous.

Service Quality/ Friendliness - Good

Service quality and friendliness was good, Our server was attentive and timely in taking our order and ensuring water glasses stayed full. Our server was slow in bringing the check to the table, but eventually did bring it without us having to ask for it.

Noise Level/ Ambience - Good

Noise level was 68 decibels, comfortable enough for conversation. Because we went on a Monday night it was a bit slower in the bar area, so it would probably be louder if there were more customers. We sat along  windows which looked into the valet parking at the Westin Hotel. Nice ambience and decor, but not especially hip or interesting.

Value - Awesome

Every entree at $8 not only makes things simpler for ordering but also means awesome value for many of the entrees. The HH serving sizes are generous, not a scaled-down version of a regular menu item like some other restaurants offer. The Cabernet was a 9 ounce pour, a good value at $8. The $6 Stella was a bit pricey along with the $12 lemon drop. Despite the minor drink price issues, Pearl still provides a delicious HH at an awesome value.
