Pearl

What an excellent restaurant with a fabulous atmosphere. The cocktails are inventive and delicious fresh ingredients and we tried a bunch the pearl was refreshing and the pumpkin puree bourbon was amazing 👏 We ordered 5 apps for the table and they were all very good. I loved the tuna tartar, octopus and the fried clams were delicious and presented beautifully. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and the halibut with the intense lobster sauce was exceptional. Can't wait to return.

What a surprise and a very good one !! The menu has been updated with some Farm Forward products and it brings some various fresh and clean plates. Love it ! The menu is clean and not too much, fish, meat, salad.. wine list is interesting as well.
We took the shrimp tempura, and it was good. I would have expected some shrimp, less batter fried and a little less sauce. But it was good !!
The grilled pork chop was delicious, cooked medium-rose and tender. Rigatoni with sausage is a big portion and amazing quality !
Service was great, clean, on time and respectful.
We recommend the place and we will be back there soon !!

Delicious menu, inviting atmosphere and exception staff. I've been here quite a few times and am never disappointed. I can honestly say the pork chop is the best I've ever had in my life and the skirt steak is also a consistently great choice.

I recommend Pearl for Date Nights, Family Dinner, Business Meeting, Party/Celebrations. The atmosphere is very nice, cleanliness: dining area, restroom, exterior, not noisy, The Food was cooked to perfection I had the Halibut it was delicious. My Mother had the pork chops she usually adds Salt to Everything, this time for the first time ever she did not. I only have pictures of dessert, I apologize. Kelly the Owner came to our table She was lovely, I wish her much success.

Once again we were BLOWN AWAY at Pearl Restaurant last night. Kelly's new lounge is the warmest, coziest, most welcoming space - I want to live there now. And as always the food was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! We feasted on oysters, arancini(Omgoodness this is a new item on the menu and it was EVERYTHING! I woke up dreaming of them), lobster mushroom soup,strip steaks, halibut and scallops. Then we washed it down with the Banage a Trois (I have NEVER loved a banana more and I hate bananas-- it's bananas!) and the bread pudding is what dreams are made of. But the best part of the whole entire meal was our waitress Katie! Literally the BEST waitress I have ever had! She knew the menu inside and out, had great suggestions and left us wanting for nothing. I will ask for Katie every time I return. I don't know how Kelly does it but Pearl just keeps getting better and better, absolutely phenomenal!! Thank you!

Pearl is an upscale restaurant rather new to Island Park LI. The menu favors fish dishes but includes some meat dishes.
The soft shell crab was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside and tasted great. The bread pudding was excellent.

Enjoyed the atmosphere. Cozy place. The Swordfish was very good . My wife loved the pork chops with sweet potatoes

Excellent server "Lady" Laura. She was courteous, professional, and went the extra mile to make us, especially my mother comfortable. She's bilingual and translated the menu for my mom. And, the food and drinks... e-ve-ry-thing was delicious... did I say e-ve-ry-thing? Yeeeeeeees, E-VE-RY-THING!

Halibut was cooked perfectly, it was served over a lobster sauce…all the ingredients complimented each other. Same with the pork chop. Must try the sundae for desert. Service was great. Will be going back soon!

Very nice ambient, very tasty food, great oysters. Service was excellent.Alison was great in service. Highly recommended.

We love Pearl. It has become our go to place to celebrate great occasions such as Christenings or Birthdays or hot dates.

We celebrated my bday recently and were treated as wonderfully as ever by our charming waiter who put so much effort into us having a nice evening and by the manager Steve who has become a friend to us despite only visiting a few times a year when we feel its safe to dine out.

Always impressed by Pearl. The new owner will only improve upon this gem.

Great food, great service, can’t miss. I’ve always enjoyed every meal I’ve had there and certainly plan on going again soon. I’ve been following the owner since she ran Salt Air Cafe and would try anything she was managing because she’s never disappointed.

The people complaining about the change in owners as well as the issue with the gift cards seem to be conveniently missing the fact that the previous owner is the one who ignored (or possibly participated in) the gift card scam, which created the problem that the current owner is now going through hell to clean up.

If you think temporarily losing the money from your one gift card is bad, imagine losing the money from hundreds, or even thousands of fake gift cards that were stolen from the restaurant by actual criminals and distributed. Because that’s what they’re dealing with right now

We went to Pearl for a birthday celebration we had the lamb chops with Greek vogurt sauce and cous cous it was perfectly prepared
We had the Halibut which was excellent we will definitely go back

Such a refreshing difference from other restaurants, Pearl was quite the experience. Food was amazing! Lamb Chops were perfect, Salmon tender, dessert were some of the best I've had anywhere. Server was gracious, and attentive. All in all, a wonderful evening.

I am a huge fan of the Pearl, I wanted to leave a review because my daughter brought to my attention the back to back absurd reviews that were left when she looked them up on Google to get their phone number to make a reservation.

I have been going to Pearl for the past two years, I have shared many many special occasions, birthdays, celebration of new life, mourning, and pretty much any other significant event you could think of. The atmosphere is so clean yet fun. The food is to die for, they also consistently bring in new and exciting specials so there always something to try when you go . Not once have I left this restaurant unsatisifed. Every time I order food or a drink it comes out PERFECT and on the off chance there is a slip up because human error does exist, they will immediately correct it.

I could go on for days about the food, but what I really want to talk about and what I feel like is the most important part of any restaurant is how AMAZING every single person is that works there. They remember, your name, your job, your wife’s name, your cousin’s name, how you like your meat cooked, what cocktails you love or didn’t love, they even remember how you like your water upon arrival for crying out loud. They come to your table with the brightest smile and they will tell you jokes and make you go from being in a high end restaurant to feeling like you’re at mom’s house for Sunday dinner.

At the end of the day, I am and never was forced to go to Pearl, I make the choice to consistently go and give them my money. They bring every detail of being a well run restaurant to light and I promise you when you go you will feel just as appreciative for this place as my family does. Just make sure if it’s your first time that you get as many appetizers as possible that will leave space for the Halibut and bread pudding.

Cheers!

Amazing food; Great service; and the outdoor seating was lovely.

This place has new owners. We went in February and could tell it was different. Our service was fantastic when we went recently in October. We always get the fried clams, the beet and goat cheese salad, and we love the pork chop. My only complaints are in the bathroom, hide the cleaning sprays and some employee was wearing too much cologne last time we went.

Jake has been a terrific host for me and my friend after a very long day. The food was excellent, very tasty and filling. Jake managed to make us laugh on multiple occasions despite being absolutely exhausted and impatient. Jake's services was purely superb - recommending it 100%

Excellent food, same original chef and real quality delicious apps, entrees, drinks and desserts. A Manhattan experience near my home and I think best restaurant and food by far in and out of my area. Superb birthday meal and service. Amanda the waitress goes over and beyond and adds to the experience. A big 5 stars for me!

We went last night to the Pearl to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, it was our first time but most certainly will not be our last. We felt so welcomed from the moment we walked in everyone was super friendly and nice. We were seated in a nice corner table surrounded by bookshelf’s such a cozy touch. Our server Amanda was outstanding!! She started off with 2 complementary glasses of champagne very nice touch, told us about the specials and answered all our questions. Onto the food absolutely delicious, we had the seared octopus and a tuna flatbread for appetizers, I had the grilled pork chop with cherry tomatoes and caramelized onions with roasted sweet potatoes , oh my gosh so good, my husband had the halibut loved it. We are usually not dessert people but being our anniversary we decided to go with the bread pudding Amanda recommended what a great recommendation we also split an after dinner special martini. We had a wonderful time even though all reservations were taken for the night we were not rushed at all, a matter of fact Amanda made us feel we were her only table, she was so attentive, the manager came by as well to make sure everything was good and wished us a happy anniversary! We go out to eat probably 2x per week and the Pearl is now the top of the list for us. Thank you all for making it such a great anniversary memory.
