Review of The Pearl Room, Brooklyn, NY

The good is pretty good BUT...

The good is pretty good BUT...

We were a party of three but the restaurant was almost entirely very large parties. There were 6 tables of 5-15, and an equal number of small tables. Not a place to go for a date or intimate dinner with friends.

We were expecting more of a fine dining experience, this was like being in the middle of a wedding. .

It was noisy and servers and waiters were rushing around, bumping into us. We were seated then asked to move to make room for a large party. Service was slow and inattentive. When we ran out of white wine, a server brought us a bottle and told us he put it in the bucket to chill for s bit because it was not quite cold. Side dishes were not ready before we finished dinner so we cancelled them.

We couldn't wait to get our check and get out of there.
