Review for Pearly Beach Restaurant

⭐ Review for Pearly Beach Restaurant I had a very disturbing experience at this restaurant that I feel compelled to share. While using the ladies’ bathroom with friends, we noticed a cellphone being held over the top of one of the cubicles, with the screen clearly showing the recording mode. This is a severe violation of privacy. My friend and I both witnessed it. We immediately reported it to the staff and later to the manager, Walter. Despite our visible distress, their response was extremely disappointing. The staff went into the bathroom and confirmed there were two people inside, whispering and laughing, but they did nothing to remove or confront them. Eventually, two teenage girls walked out. We stopped them ourselves, confronted them, and demanded to see their phones. One apologized and claimed they were “just trying to see who was next door” and not recording. We were only able to check one phone before their mother arrived. Throughout all of this, the restaurant’s staff and management stood by and did absolutely nothing to protect or support us. We were left feeling anxious, violated, and dismissed. Even if the girls were telling the truth, the lack of urgency, accountability, and seriousness from Pearly Beach’s staff is deeply concerning. Privacy in a bathroom is non-negotiable, and the restaurant failed to take appropriate action in a situation that could have had serious emotional consequences. This experience has left me shaken, and I would caution others about the way management handled such a sensitive and serious incident.
