We are a local couple who visited the Black Pearl for the first time this weekend. We are fish lovers and totally and completely recommend this restaurant! The decor was really nice, up stairs and down, the music presented the perfect mood for a cosy meal, and the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. We had the fish platter for two, and thought we had died and gone to heaven! You really do get what you pay for here. It's not cheap but worth every penny. We will visit again and again.

We were in Hastings for the day and had early dinner in the Black Pearl. I enjoyed the downstairs atmosphere so much that we didn't leave the place at all. It was great for dinner and drinks afterwards, the music was just right and the food was fantastic, even the non-seafood option was delicious. The oysters were very fresh and so was the fish. We will come back again.

I've been to Black Pearl three times now, and I must say that the food and service have both improved greatly since the opening! On our last visit, we ordered the seafood platter for 3 and although a little pricey, when the meal arrived on the 3-tier trays, it looked great, was delicious and quantity was enormous (much more than for 3 "normal" people)! The staff are very friendly and the music level is just right, so you can enjoy a pleasant conversation too! We will definitely go back.

If you ever find yourself in Hastings and fancy going somewhere to eat that doesn’t wrap the food in newspaper, this is the place (or is that plaice)? Only recently open, the Black Pearl lives up to its evocative name by serving an exotic variety of fish and meat dishes of the highest quality, cooked with passion and precision. Any criticism seems sour in the face of the competition.
