Owners, Seth & Angela Raynor (The Pearl + Corazon del Mar) believe in old-school hospitality without pretense,for many locals & visitors the Boarding House is their home away from home.

"While the ambiance of the outdoor dining porch was romantic and charming, the food was disappointing. My mixed fruit mimosa tasted like spoiled fruit. All the entries had a southern twist: shrimp and grits, fried chicken and waffles. The actual food was a disappointing imitation of the real thing. The shrimp and grits tastes like cream of wheat cereal with three shrimp thrown on top and I could barely choke it down. The chicken and waffles were small and dry with a couple pieces of chicken on top."

"My husband and I visited the Boarding House on Saturday night
of Memorial Day weekend- Figawi weekend. It was
very noisy and there were several large groups in
the dining room. The bar was packed with mostly young people. Not
quite the atmosphere we were looking for but
if that's your scene, it would be fun. The food was good
and the service great so we would try it again on a
different weekend."

"Great meal and service, the owner even spent some time talking to us about our dinner selections. Only drawback was that there were several loud children in a restaurant not well suited for kids. Took away from the overall experience."
