When you go out to dinner, you want good food and sometimes, good service and a pleasantly friendly staff just are not enough.  The sushi at Pearl is not really good.  I was disappointed at the rolls - the accompanying sauces were colorful although boring and tasteless.  I tried a roll with a slice of tuna on the top and the tuna was a little warm - NOT what you want when eating sush.  I had the yellowfin - and was not impressed.  The quality of the fish was off.  I also tried the calamari which was fried in a funky batter which over powered the taste of the calamari.  \nI have to admit that after two rolls, calamari and yellowfin tuna, I stopped ordering bc the food did not taste good.  \nThe one great thing about Pearl is the service and the staff.  They are friendly, but not in an annoying way.  They tried very hard to please my party and I liked it.  When they found out we would be writing a review for yelp - the free shots came - and that was a nice BONUS. ;) \nI recommended to the my server and a woman he introduced as a manager that the place needed some sushi quality aspects to it, i.e. fresh warm towels prior to the meal as any self respecting sushi eater, eats with their hands. The manager replied, \""that was not a good idea because this is an asian restaurant.\""  Yikes, right?  She was friendly and kind but her ignorance was pretty disappointing.\nI unfortuantely will not be going back to Pearl to eat again - however, I would go back for the drinks and the fun service!
