My Dad, brother, my self, and my step mom, all of us dressed nice, arrived at Pearl in Miami with a confirmed reservation. There is a bouncer there. It is a restaurant, but you need to get past the doorman.

There were two groups of men in front of us. They all stated that they had reservations, bouncer said no, and rudly asked them to leave.

It was now my dad's turn. Bouncer did not have our reservation, asked us to leave. We asked to speak to someone inside, he said no, to leave. We called conceirge, he said we had reservations, confirmed again with Pearl (hostess inside), we then told bouncer, he said leave. We assked to speak to the hostess by name, he said no, leave. Dad tried to slip him a fifty, he said leave.

10 pretty "hot" 21 or so year old girls show up, no reservation, they are let it.

Behind them, more people with reservations, told to leave, they are not on the list.

We left, and went to china grill.


My dad had been there twice before, and wanted to show me the restuarant. He would have spent at least $500. I bet the young girls ordered no food, and drank water, or cheap straight vodka.

We were out 30 minutes in time, embarrassed, and out a $45 cab fare. Why take reservations if you are not going to honor them? ALso, this restaurant will go broke. Allowing in only pretty girls, not that there is anything wrong with young pretty girls, and not having any people that can actually pay, plus pissing off customers, will not make for a long term success.

Has anyone else had this happen at Pearl.

I sent an email to the conceirge to boycott the restaurant.
