Globally inspired seafood tasting menu with wine pairings
"This fish house and wine bar is open only for dinner and keeps the menu simple. In fact, there are three seatings per night, and guests are offered a four-course tasting menu. While the options are limited, the dishes are full of flavor and technique. Highlights include a miso conch salad, mole-glazed octopus, pork belly bao buns, and sake-braised bone-in short ribs." - Amber Love Bond
"A meal here will leave diners feeling like they’ve stumbled upon a gem or, true to this place’s name, a little pearl. Dishes are thoughtful and well executed, with a rotating tasting highlighting locally caught seafood, among other items. Wine pairing is also available — reservations are required." - Alona Martinez
"This chic wine bar and seafood eatery offers a fun take on the nautical theme that honors the restaurant’s surroundings without overwhelming diners with chintzy pirate gear and SCUBA seats as far as the eye can see. Where it does over-deliver is with its tasting menu, where you put yourself in the hands of the chefs and let them do their thing. If you’re lucky, their “thing” will include a serving of Japanese baby back ribs with Daikon slaw." - Jennifer M. Wood
"A Pineapple and Pearls offshoot serving next‑level sweets and gourmet coffee by day and boutique wines with okonomiyaki spring rolls by night, blending pastry and small-plate service." - Eater Staff
"Owned by James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef Aaron Silverman, Little Pearl is affiliated with an owner who opposed Initiative 77 before the vote and is holding off on making any changes because the measure hasn’t been signed into law yet; he says the staff does not want the initiative and that he will ask city leaders to amend or overturn it." - Warren Rojas
