Pearl Passionate Cuisine and Cocktails

"We visited Pear Passionate while waiting for our event to start (crossing the street). Our waiter was friendly and we tried the tuna tarta, it was so GOOD, I also tried the coquito (season drink from PR) it was good too. We also tried the fries with duck fat (nothing Wao there). The place was busy, and we couldn't wait for the food. They understood both parties apologies, so if you're going to an event an hour might not be enough. I believe it is worth trying, even if we didn't get our main entrance. The service is on point."

"Wow! My boyfriend and I had an amazing evening at Pearl. I believe our waiter was Zach (or Jack!). We had the Tuna Tartare for an appetizer and I had the pork chop with the Filipino rice and I can not say enough good things about my meal (insert chef’s kiss). The pork chop was so tender and the rice had the perfect garlic seasoning. My BF had the steak, duck fat potatoes and the radishes (who knew the radishes could be so tasty?). As far as drinks, he had the New York Sour and I had the Espresso Martini. Kudos to the bartender! We also met Ashley, the owner, and she was very sweet and genuinely wanted to know about our experience. We will be back!"

"I've heard many great reviews of this establishment...so I decided to try it for myself. My cousins and I absolutely love this place! We decided to go for brunch. Nancy, our server (whom my brain calls Naomi) is FANTASTIC!! She gave us several options for a few of the sold out entrees and all her recommendations were on point. I was not disappointed in any kind of way! I look to returning for dinner someday. The menu seems to change often and I love that. My cousins ate a delicious breakfast burrito with crema and Pico de gallo....they were in heaven. Their coffee was a French drip style and quite tasty. We ordered a baklava cinnamon style role, DECADENT...try it!!! Sad there were only 3, best there were not more. My waistline just can't! Lol. The black pepper biscuits with gravy were WOW! Never had biscuits like these and the custom butters plus an orange marmalade.....PERFECTION!!! The Pearl's duck fat homefries blew me away!!! There is no need for sauce because the taste is wonderful but that ranch dip is the complete razzle dazzle( by the way I am not a huge fan of sauce so) I ate the classic country ham breakfast. Quite filling and savory. All the food was packed with flavor. Definitely made with love. Our drinks were a dream come true. I'd highly recommend this hidden gem in downtown Macon."

"Had a very nice dinner. Food was delicious and service was exceptional. The menu changes seasonally. For an appetizer we had the ceviche. For our main course we had the Pan Seared Sea Bass, and Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. Dessert was the bread pudding. Drinks were the Apalachicola Pearl and a local Fall Line beer. We will be returning."

"Absolutely incredible! We don't live in Macon, nor do we have any reason to be back that we know of, but we would travel back any time just for this food. Everything we ate was outstanding, you really couldn't go wrong. Our bartender, Garrett, was incredible and helped recommend some of the most amazing drinks on their menu for our tastes. My boyfriend wanted to try an absinthe service (only available at the bar) and Garrett did a great job walking us through the process. It was like dinner and a show! Sitting at the bar was definitely the place to be. Everything about this experience was an 100/10. We've eaten at a lot of places, coast to coast, and I can confidently say this is one of the best spots we've ever been to. We will be back! (Also, I know you'll be full, but trust me - get the bread pudding!)"
