Went to Pearl tonight with my roommate after hearing rave reviews from a few people....\n\nWalking up you can clearly tell it's a hot spot.  It looked busy, and when we walked through the door it was obvious as to why--it's very small.  The tables are super close together so if you're anything bigger than a 6 ladies...go somewhere else, seriously. I had to interrupt the next table at least 3 times in first sitting down in my seat, going to the restroom once/coming back and then leaving for the night.  It was just awkward. They also first sat us outside without even asking which we preferred (inside/out that is) \n\nWe had looked at the menu before arriving and was very excited to try a few different things. We got the cucumber salad (very good) and seaweed salad (equally as good-and they dont add lettuce to it to make it look like more), shrimp tempura roll (good) spicy tuna (chunks of tuna were way too big and it just wasn't good), Pearl necklace (far from impressed) and the napolean dynamite (pretty good).....\n\nAll in all the sushi filled my stomach but i didn't finish either of my rolls (which is not like me).  I could see coming to this place for drinks and maybe a small plate, but definitely not for a respectable sushi dinner.
