Sea Pearl - Merrifield

I don’t know if it was just a bad night, but the service was pretty underwhelming. For the price, I didn’t think the value was comparable.

Sea Pearl is a very attractive restaurant and I had eaten there many times. This was my first brunch and I will certainly return! The buffet was attractively arranged, and the food was excellent from bagels, cream cheese, and smoked salmon; pancakes and French toast; crisp bacon and pork sausage; eggs Benedict with either ham or smoked salmon; choose your own omelet; oysters on the half shell; sushi; etc., etc. Go and enjoy!

Excellent food and the server was knowledgeable and super nice!

We went for Valentines fixed-price three course meal. All very good. The dessert was great but so, so big.

The servers at this restaurant need more training. During our visit, the dining area was only half full. Appetizer dishes were left on the table along with an empty bread basket when the entrees arrived. Our water glasses were never refilled, and they rushed us through each course. They brought dessert and the check together without asking if anyone wanted coffee. Although the entrees and appetizers were good, the dessert - chocolate raspberry, which is one of my favorites - was not worth it as it was very heavy and somewhat dry. I will not be dining here for a holiday dinner again.
