"Perle is an Oakland wine bar, yes, but with an extensive French menu attached. Still, the “pearl” portion of the menu is worthy of a pairing with the spot’s many wines; there are the half-dozen raw oysters; the oysters supreme with uni, two types of caviar, and ponzu; oyster shooters; and fried oyster deviled eggs, with roe, Calabrian pepper, and caper relish to amuse your bouche." - Dianne de Guzman
