In 1996, The Black Pearl emerged – a haven of fine dining in Pinellas County. Yet its story reaches further back, to 1905 when it was a barbershop, then the mayor's office, undergoing a transformative rebirth in 1946 to a restaurant. For almost 50 years, it has stood as a culinary cornerstone.
Within its walls, a mere 12 tables hold profound experiences. Reservations are a testament to its sought-after embrace. At its helm is Chef Christopher Artrip, a Tampa Bay luminary, acclaimed "Best Chef, Critics Pick 2019" by Creative Loafing. His creed: "Life's too short for bad food."
The Black Pearl: where flavors and history entwine, and dining becomes art.
