The sea has much to teach us: its tides foretell the lunar cycle, its salt treats us to delicious shark jerky, and its colourful creatures prove that nature looks better in Blu-ray. Celebrate the big salty puddle's sagacity with today's Groupon to Pearl on the Rock, located on White Rock's historical beachfront.
Pearl on the Rock, a AAA Four Diamond award-winning restaurant, presents contemporary Pacific cuisine in a well-appointed dining room with spectacular views of Semiahmoo Bay. The inventive menu binds a harmonious marriage between land and sea with seafaring items such as Qualicum Bay scallops ($28.95), bolstered to daring levels of decadence by mushroom risotto and brown-butter cauliflower puree. The weekend brunch menu also boasts multifarious fare with items such as the pancetta and cheddar omelette ($12.95), with house-made bacon, farmhouse cheddar, organic greens, and hollandaise sauce. The restaurant participates in the Ocean Wise initiative, serving sustainable seafood while protecting the sea's tasty resources and mermaid farm industry.
