After dinner on The Square, we made a pit stop at Black Pearl, a small, narrow bar attached to…read moreRick's On the Square. We all ordered a drink. My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

In Tyler, Texas, the options for a decent but affordable dinner seem to fall into the hands of the…read morechains. There's plenty of nice local establishments, but some can be pricey and some are just more casual than you want. Scott Williams has perfected the restaurants of Tyler that are balanced between affordable and still quite nice. He got his toes in the water with FDs, before expanding into Javi's, Twelve, and now the fanciest of them all in III Palms. I thought of all those options, Twelve would be the most unique and tasty for my girlfriend and I. We went in an hour before they closed on a Sunday and were seated immediately. We weren't too hungry so we didn't expect to be there past their closing time, and we were ready to go. Our waiter was quick and attentive, bringing us water and helping us decide on drinks from the bar and our order. He also showed us their insane over-the-top whiskey menu. If you like whiskey, give Twelve a shot I guess. To order, I just got their 'Osaka Style' Pressed Roll while my girlfriend got a Sushi Bowl Salad. We got Sweet Potato Fries to share. As for drinks, I started with their Monkey See, Monkey Do, an impressive and firm beverage, while my girlfriend ordered their Destin Dream, a fun Pina Colada-like drink. It wasn't long before our food came out. The sushi was beautifully plated with some wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. I destroyed all the rolls. They were all very fresh and very high quality, which was remarkable for their $13.50 price tag. My girlfriend's sushi bowl looked insane. She ate most of it, but I filled the gaps and devoured the rest of it. The sweet potato fries were crispy and heavenly like all sweet potato fries usually are. I felt adventurous and I got a second drink of their Rose Garden, which was simple but flavorful. Compared to FDs, the menu might be a little more sea-inspired and more adventurous, but I think it leads to better, more unique food, especially with offerings like Oyster Rockefeller and a sushi bar. I also know Twelve does a great brunch as well, so keep that on your radar. Ultimately, as the bill came, the price was very manageable even with the alcohol. It's nice that you don't fully have to break the bank to have a nice meal in Tyler thanks to places like Twelve. I rate it a 12/10. Get it? hahahaha... RIYL: A slightly adventurous, but affordable night out.

We were seated upstairs and it was cold because the AC blows directly onto the tables. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Salsa has some kick and the chips were fresh and not greasy. The wife had chicken and waffles and really liked it. I had the chicken fried breast and it came out hot. The crust was crispy. The chicken was tender and moist. The gravy needs some salt and pepper because it was pretty bland. The mashed potatoes and collards were excellent. The kid had quesadilla and liked it. Our server Eli, who worked very hard going up and down the stairs for all the tables upstairs, was professional and efficient. I bet she is tired at the end of a shift after going up and down stairs for hours at end. Overall, we liked this place very much and I think we will return the next time we are in the area.

The whole place gives off so many different vibes, and there's plenty of room to relax, hang out, and enjoy yourself. The drinks were definitely the highlight, especially the frozen drinks! I also had a few shots. They give complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. However the salsa wasn't really my favorite. It was pretty bland and felt like it was missing that extra flavor and kick. That's just me. I didn't get a chance to try the food this visit, so I can't speak on that just yet but that gives me another reason to come back! I'll definitely be back to give the food a try and experience the atmosphere again. Overall, great spot for the vibes, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Tyler!

We were there for a couple few hours. When we got there, it was low key with the Juke Box supplying the tunes. I paid my $5 to hear a bunch of songs I like while we played 8 ball & some cut-throat too. Later, the door was set up for an entry fee & the stage was set up for a rock band. We stayed long enough to hear the 1st set & if you like garage style hard rock, then you will love this place!
