It was great. They had lots of GF choices. I had the deviled eggs and fish and chips. It was all delicious. When the food first came out I asked if it was GF as I ALWAYS do to double check and mine was not GF and they immediately got me the correct order. They had an allergy stick in the second one so you knew it was correct as well as looking different from the regular order. The service was great. Would definitely go back again.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and good food. Some of the best tater tots I’ve had, but more like fried mashed potato cubes. Smoked salmon with deviled egg and gluten-free brioche was delectable. Perch fish and chips were non-traditional but good. Scallops (fresh catch, not a regular menu item) were delicious.

Lots of GF option’s offered on their menu. Our server was very accommodating as I also need to avoid most dairy. I enjoyed fish and chips, something I usually have to make at home. This is a busy place, make advance reservations, especially on weekends.

LOVE this place. We actually met a celebrity as well.

This place is very aesthetically pleasing and have an entire separate fryer. We got the tater tots and fried pickles and had no issues at all.

The drinks were delish and staff was awesome. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant and could not recommend it enough. The servers are well aware of Celiac Disease and ask right away if there are any allergies at the table! The amount of options are incredible! Being able to order almost everything on the menu GF is the best. I enjoyed the fried pickles, deviled eggs and a delicious pumpkin pie in a jar homemade! 10/10 recommend anyone trying!

Amazing. Nearly everything on the menu is or can be made GF. The fried tots are a must. I didn’t get sick at all. Clearly they take precautions against cross contamination. All of my food came out with “allergy” sticks marking my dishes.

Such a great experience here! Almost everything on the menu can be gluten free. When I was diagnosed I thought I would never have fried pickles again 😭 So yummy. Star of the show is definitely the bacon wrapped dates though. I also had the fish and chips - it was a lot of food, I could have split it with someone.

Really yummy! So much GF stuff available and they even make their own GF version of malt vinegar.

We had fried oysters (so good!) and I had fish and chips. It’s a light almost tempura like batter.

The Pearl is my new favorite upscale restaurant in downtown Tampa. They had so many gluten free options. The waiter asked immediately if anyone at the table had any food allergies. Very professional! My boyfriend and I shared the gluten free fried pickles and the tavern citrus salad, which were amazing. For the entree I had the Great Lakes Fish N Chips GF and substituted the fries for broccoli. For my boyfriend’s entree he had the Hanger Steak, which he gave a 10/10. The Mojito and Gin thyme cocktails were great! Everything was delicious and we cannot wait to come back to The Pearl again!

GF items were clearly marked on the menu and almost everything is GF. Everything we ordered was EXCELLENT! The deviled eggs and chicken wings were outstanding. The tater tots are PERFECTION! We hit it for lunch on a Saturday before getting on a cruise and then the following Sunday before flying home and both days were very busy so I recommend making reservations.
