The Black Pearl

Choose to dine in the formal Commodore's Room or the more informal tavern or waterfront patio, complete with bar, pub-style eats and first class views of the harbor. Any way you slice it, the Black Pearl has the best clam chowder in the city. In fact, it's now canned and served in gourmet food stores and has been featured in "USA Today." The formal dining room serves a menu of classic American cuisine atop linen-draped and candle-adorned tables. Try the twin New England lobster tails, the veal chop or the Nantucket Scallops. Executive chef Daniel Knerr was even named chef of the year by The American Culinary Federation.
