DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES!!
by LaurenNYC12
This was my first meal in Newport- and even though its right on the water and is supposed to have delicious seafood, I for some reason ordered a burger- and it was DELICIOUS! The service was also great.

Overrated
by Phonemate
The Black Pearl is a remnant from days gone by when one didn't have a choice of great seafood resturants and were stuck with arrogant and unfriendly staff members and old antiquated ambiance. It took what seemed forever to even be acknowledged at the seating desk. Food was plain, nothing inventive nor mouth watering. Four of us were on vacation on the East Coast and have captured many places we plan on returning to, but this place is definitely not on our list. Save your money; better places all around you.
- Pros: Walking distance from hotel
- Cons: Everything; food is plain, service is arrogant, ambiance is old and dated.
