Wabi Sabi Covington
508 Madison AveWe recommend the Swipe Right roll!
For seafood lovers, the food and atmosphere at PearlStar is second to none. Servers and staff are passionate and knowledgable, and the seafood is so fresh, it feels like you're eating oceanside. We love getting 6-12 oysters for an appetizer because the varieties are always changing - depending on what's being caught and sourced.
