Our Take
The Spot
The Pearl sits on Water Street in downtown Tampa, part of a small restaurant group with sister locations in Dublin and Short North, Ohio. It operates as a restaurant, tavern, and oyster room at once, built around made-from-scratch entrees and shareable plates alongside a rotating selection of seasonal oysters.

The bar side runs handcrafted cocktails, a curated wine list, and a rotating lineup of ales, lagers, and stouts. Oysters come up often among what regulars order.

The Pearl Tampa carries a 2026 Michelin Guide selection.
