I booked for a nice size group. I've been to over 15 Michelin restaurants and this just didn't have the vibe as any of them. The... waiter who also was the bartender was a little snooty and we verified before our time that it would be alright to have ourchecks split, which they said it would and then when our checks came, he was upset and rolled his eyes that we wanted our checkssplit. I've never went to a nicer dining establishment that doesn't clean the table before the next meal either and there werecrumbs everywhere and the gentleman never came around to pull up crumbs. No one could understand what the guy said as to whatwas included in each course and we were left perplexed trying to ask each other what he stated. I did enjoy a couple of thecourses like the fish which was excellent and the pork which was soft, but overall a more meh experience. Atmosphere also seemsmore like a business meal environment than a romantic and relaxed one where you'd feel pampered. Read more
Little Pearl absolutely surpassed my expectations. They greet you with a welcome drink and proceed to have their staff guide you... through a mix of small starters (a take on a deviled egg, a bit of chicken on a fancy chip, etc) and larger proteins. So manyrestaurants fall down on the dessert course but the cheese crumpets and the apple tart-ish dessert were such a treat. This is aMichelin star work going to again. Dinner is $85/ person, cocktails are $14-$16. All in with tax and tip with two drinks was~$140. Read more
It is a great space filled with plants and natural light… the staff were so warm and inviting from the moment we entered. The... food didn’t blow my mind like other Michelin restaurants but it also doesn’t have the price of others. Overall, a nice nightout and a good date spot that won’t break the bank. Read more
Update: Little Pearl reached out to me shortly after I posted my initial review to apologize for my experience and invited me... back for a second chance. I'm happy to say my second dining experience with them was much better! I tried each of the twonon-alcoholic cocktails offered (1 pear, 1 rhubarb). Both were delicious– light, refreshing, and not too sweet. We were servedall of the offered dishes this time. All of them were lovely– not as greasy nor heavy as my first visit. Any heavier disheswere offset with the right amount of acidity. The course was good mix of lighter vs. heavier bites, and all with seasonal,well-sourced ingredients. It was a really fun tasting. I left feeling satisfied but not sluggish. If you are seated inside, itcan get a little loud as seats begin to fill with echoing voices trying to talk over another, but that's not really in thestaff's control. The service was on-point and really friendly. They take your dietary preferences/needs into consideration andcheck up on you just the right amount. I've already asked a friend to come back with me in the future. I send my thanks andgratitude to the staff at Little Pearl! :) Previous review: I am a fan of Pineapple & Pearls and Rose's Luxury, so I wasexcited to give this spot a try for an anniversary dinner. We were very disappointed and will not return. No one was by theentryway when we arrived. The bar area looked really packed, so we stood awkwardly by the door until staff behind the barinvited us in and asked for the name on the reservation. They begin by serving champagne and cocktails from a small menu but noone in my party drinks alcohol so they had to create a mocktail on the fly, which was nice, but I am disappointed there wasn'talready one on the menu. Plenty of people do not or cannot drink, so for a fancy/expensive place, I would expect them to be moreprepared. They asked for my taste preferences on the mocktail and I said "anything light, fruity, herbal". The beverage I rec Read more

It was a disappointment compared to rose's luxury and pineapple & pearl overall. Cocktails and caciocavallo stuffed crumpet were... definitely the highlights for the night. However, for other courses, there were some playful flavor profiles with herbs butnothing very special. Wine pairing was mediocre. Our napkins had many wrinkles, the lights were flickering. Not much fun on thetablewares either. Read more
