1. Everything we serve is made from scratch, in our kitchen: This includes bread, pasta, and desserts. There isn't a microwave in the kitchen. This isn't because I'm a "gourmet" type food snob, it is because fresh tastes better and ensures that you have a wonderful, unique experience at The Pearl. 2. The ingredients are from local producers whenever possible: This is important for a bunch of reasons that help improve our economy, environment, health, and community. Most importantly, it helps us make great food...by having a personal, first-name relationship with each of our ranchers and farmers we can offer you the freshest possible food. We'll have a chalkboard up naming the ranch or farm that produced that day's food.

At our Dade City, FL location, we are part of a historic seafood tradition. Captain D's Seafood Restaurant first opened its doors back on August 15, 1969. A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to serving freshly prepared seafood at a great value has been our core mission from the beginning. Known originally as Mr. D's Seafood and Hamburgers, Captain D's was opened in Donelson, Tennessee. From the very start, we set out to provide quality seafood at reasonable prices, a concept that was revolutionary at the time.
