Went there on a rainy Saturday evening so the wait was not long at all (maybe 5 minutes at the bar?). The bartenders there pour some pretty stiff drinks and the vibe of the place makes time pass pretty quickly.
The restaurant itself is not large and the tables themselves are not too big. Considering this is a small plates establishment, they serve their food on larger platters which becomes an issue when the timing of delivery isn’t there. Luckily, our waitstaff was excellent and did their best to squeeze every available inch and the second a wine glass was empty, it was removed.
All in all, the food was really amazing, the wine and liquor very fine to boot (their wine flights are a bargain!) and the service was attentive but not overbearing. A really great find and heartily recommended by this diner!
Wasn’t ordered at first but after realizing that the other dishes we ordered were all seafood, we asked for this great side. The fries were not greasy in the least and the perfect accompaniment to the food.
Pearl has 3 different wine flights (Spanish, electic Reds, eclectic whites) where you get 3 different wines in each flight. The eclectic whites were well balanced and did the food very well.
6 different oysters on the half shell (Malpeque, Hama Hama, Kumamoto, Mimi Miyagi, Discovery Bay and one other one). If you wanted 2 of each, the price is $20!
