This whimsical tasting menu restaurant from the same team behind Rose’s Luxury and Pineapple and Pearls is a delightful dinner party unlike any other. Chef Aaron Silverman’s deft cooking is modern, seasonal, and is super soigne — in a very approachable way. Case in point: the “angel eggs” at the very start of your tasting menu.
We offer dinner in our cozy private dining room, our gorgeous glass-enclosed conservatory (including a high-top communal table), covered patio, and our bar.
Sophisticated restaurant in an intimate setting offering a fixed price menu & wine pairings. Based on 542 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$

Stunning meal- one of the top tasting menus I’ve ever had. No duds the entire meal, and some dishes I will remember my entire life. Really fantastic stuff.

This was my first time at a Michelin star restaurant and I was SO pleased! Every detail was well thought out from the menu, to the decor, to the presentation of the dishes. Our waiter did a wonderful job explaining every course to us in great detail. The flavor combinations were unlike anything I’ve tried before. Every single course surprised us and was absolutely delicious. We loved our take home gift as well!

Had a great time, the servers were nice and explained every plate that came out. The bartender lady that night was great always taking care of us at the bar with anything she could. Food was great, tried stuff that I would never try before or think of. Reasonably priced for the service and the food. Left full and with a cookie, almond milk and a menu from the night. Would recommend for anyone to try.

Interesting food, nice staff and chill atmosphere. I wish the weather was a bit more accommodating for outdoor seating but the staff did well to accommodate us during the downpour. Our host Monica added personal touches because we had birthdays in the group. It seemed like everyone in the restaurant knew it was our birthday. We left with goodie bags with personalized messages. So cute.

My experience at Little Pearl was incredible. I’ve been to several Michelin starred restaurants and love that this place delivers on food, service, and atmosphere without being pretentious. They were running 15 min late on our table but had the courtesy to call me before we arrived and offered to get us a drink at the bar while we waited. The drinks were phenomenal, so fun, surprising, and inventive – much like the food we were about to experience!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s such a charming restaurant. I had dinner there with a friend for her birthday and the experience was incredible. The service is amazing; Everyone (from the host to the servers to the kitchen staff) was very personable and accommodating. The food was so creative and delicious. I was constantly surprised by each dish and how absolutely great the menu tasted. The portions look small but it was a very filling meal and just when I thought the tasty meal was over they sent us home with milk and cookies! Perfect midnight snack after a few drinks. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be back again to try what else they whip up. (Also- pleasantly surprised that for each meal the restaurant donates to the World Food Programme USA to help feed hungry kids.)

My only regret with Little Pearl is that I didn’t try this gem earlier. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, with excellent service accenting a creative and expertly crafted tasting menu, replete with delicious little surprises along the way.

I had an amazing experience at Little Pearl. The staff was friendly and our waitress really made the dinner feel fun and special for my birthday. She was generous with my wine pours — even topping my drink off without me noticing and leaving extra coffee for our table. The food was interesting and delicious. My partner and I are still talking about how good the ox tail wonton was. I didn’t notice long wait times for each course like other reviews mentioned, but maybe that depends on your company. Overall, I left feeling overjoyed and grateful.

Amazing experience on our birthday even with the severe thunderstorm. They were so accommodating, seated us inside until the storm passed.

UPDATED: We were contacted to come back for a comped meal. Second time the service and flow were much better. Staff was friendly and quick to serve. The food was delicious but overall runs on the saltier side in my opinion. I would recommend the mock tail, it was delicious!
