    Gorgeous!
    Pooja S.

    I don't think I've ever gone to Staten Island for dinner. It was our 5yr anniversary and I just wanted something different without heading to the city. I'm so sick of the city especially driving and trying to find a parking spot. This place caught my eye and my fiancé was like bro, really? Staten Island? I'm like yes, let's go! So here we are, they thankfully had valet parking. The surrounding area prior to rolling up felt weird & isolated but when we got there it was just a quaint space. The restaurant is absolutely STUNNING. I was so in love with the bar area and decor and colors. You will not be disappointed with the ambiance. However, it saddens me to say the food was just ok....and greatly overpriced. Plating was so pretty it gets you excited but once you have a taste it's nothing mind blowing. I liked the lobster dumplings but not for what it cost. I felt stupid for ordering it. The worst part of dinner was the spicy shrimp pasta. It was a newer item on the menu - completely bland and not anywhere near "spicy". I'm not sure if Staten Island has a different definition of spicy but it did absolutely nothing for me. I wanted to send it back but he's like "can we have it to go" because he saw the look in my eyes. Neither of us touched it at home and it went to waste anyway. I think it was somewhere around ...$48?? It actually made me angry. If you're looking for a beautiful, romantic spot to have drinks and maybe an app, ok cool this is it. If you're looking for a place with delicious dinner within reason, this is not it. The staff and service were admittedly EXCEPTIONAL.

    They went all out on decorations and menu papers they forget the food needa be good too. We wanted raw oysters so the restaurant search made us come here. Very nice place and friendly staffs, but with all that plant decorations they have a fly problem. It was bothering us the whole meal. The bad food item was the brunch french toast we had to send it back but they were kind to take it off. Let's talk about the yummy shrimps, i was a big fan i almost ordered another, the drinks were good but the quality of liquor was just ok. I liked my mermaid margarita with kiwi! Bathroom is very nice and the sink bowl was my favorite. Blue potatoes were so interesting i liked how they grilled it with the skin. i like lobster bisque lobster roll the brioche was buttered and the outside is warm

    I came here for a wedding, and the place is beautiful. Everyone on the team was very sweet and hospitality is 10 out of 10. I did not get to try their daily menu, as the wedding had a set menu. Delicious! -Shout out to the pasta dish, was made very well. Look forward to coming back for a dinner - great place for a romantic date too. Nice view and the water is right outside.

    Lobster Dumplings

    Trying Blue Pearl made me backtrack to any occasions I missed celebrating so I could have an excuse to come back. As soon as you walk in, it feels like you're under the sea. They make your dining experience so unique, catering to you down to whether you want fruit in your water or volcanic salt with your meal. While Blue Pearl already reels you in with the ambiance and unique experiences, they continue to impress with their food. Because I came here with multiple people, we split many different apps and entrees. The lobster dumplings were hands down the best appetizer although the scallops were a close runner-up. The dumplings were soooo savory and had such an umami taste. As for the entrees, the fish and chips and filet mignon were truly cooked to perfection and the wasabi potatoes complimented the meal so well.

    Skip the crab cake!  It was TERRIBLE!
    Jennifer T.

    Blue Pearl is a beautiful restaurant with fantastic service, but unfortunately the food is just mediocre. We started with lobster rolls (lobster bisque) and the crab cake. The lobster rolls (lobster bisque) were very good and the best dish of the night. The crab cake was TERRIBLE! It the worst crab cake I ever had! It was so bad I couldn't even eat it! The crab meat tasted off and their was a nasty tasting sauce underneath! For dinners we had the Chilean sea bass and the crab cavatelli. The Chilean sea bass was mediocre, but the forbidden rice it came with wasn't good at all! Chilean sea bass is supposed to melt in your mouth, and this one didn't. It was rather stiff for being Chilean sea bass. The crab cavatelli dish came with lots of crab, but the dinner was very bland! I wouldn't come back. Your paying a high price for mediocre food.

    New restaurant alert. Decor is extravagant and beautiful, it's a nautical theme with mermaids, ocean decor etc. The service is impeccable, waitstaff always checking on you. They are very informative of the menu. You never have to look for anyone to get what you need. Now for the food..Highly recommended the steak and the sushi. The prime skirt steak was some of the best steak I have had. Sushi fresh. The waygu gyoza and crispy rice were average, taste not comparable with pricing. Crab cake was perfect. Caviar service was amazing coming with creme fraiche, onions, and boiled egg whites and yolks, it came with mini toast and blini. The pasta dishes were okay. The complaints that I do have for this place is they charged 44 dollars for credit card without notice. Not sure why it is that much extra on the bill just to pay with card (different cash price) Parties of 6 gratuity is already added. Overall atmosphere was upscale and nice for a night out.

    Charred octopus, crab cake

    Love love love! If you get Dana as your waitress you are very lucky. She just has this smile and attitude that brightens your day. The decorations and ambient are wonderful. It's nice to see a nautical theme restaurant in Staten Island. What we ordered: Teriyaki Beef Sushi ($28): The best sushi I have ever had and I am Asian..... the flavors complimented each other so fricken well. It is so perfect. Scallop Appetizer ($29): this was okay. The scallops were super fresh but I wouldn't exactly order again. Crab Cake ($29): love love love!!! The sauce they had on it complimented it so well! Charred Octopus ($26): not bad, definitely had better octopus. Was a bit chewy then I liked. New England Roll ($26): was really good, best and closest thing we have to a Boston/Maine lobster roll but the hot ones are definitely better Lobster Bisque Roll ($30): honestly give me 15 of these... it taste like a lobster bisque soup but in a roll. The bread was so buttery and the lobster was so flavorful Red Sangria ($14): one of the better ones Poached Pear Almond Cake ($16): super interesting, the coconut flakes are spectacular and you have to have a bite of everything on the dishes in one spoon. Amazing

    If you are the bar, I hope you get Nina! She was such a doll and recommended great drinks and food options. We came in on a Saturday night, a bit busy but very fast customer service. I ordered the mocktails bc of all the ingredients but added rum and tequila in each of them. The spicy shrimp was great, wasn't a fan of the crab cake but the edamame made up for it! Cool lively place.

    Latte that comes with cookies

    *Note: Children under the age of 13 is not allowed during Friday or Saturday evenings* Blue Pearl provides a romantic waterfront dining experience, where its interior design is spacious and aesthetically pleasing. They have a second floor area and a private room for those who would like a more intimate and quiet dining experience. Vivien and Diogo took great care of us and kindly helped remedied the mild issues we encountered. For drinks my wife ordered the taro tea latte which was on the sweeter side, and I ordered the regular iced latte, which was on the milder side. The taro was definitely better than the regular latte, but that's just our subjective perspective. We ordered the matcha pancake to share, which had a nice balance between the bitterness of the matcha cream and sauce, and the sweet and tanginess of its fresh pineapple and strawberry accompaniment! We also had the lobster bisque lobster roll, where although the portion is quite tiny (as evident in the picture with the strawberry for size comparison), it was still quite flavorful and fresh; definitely interested to try their truffle flavor next time! Our steak and eggs brunch was delicious, where the savory black garlic aioli paired perfectly with the steak and potato Mille-feuille. Overall the food was good and the service was great. Vivien and Diolo both checked in on us multiple times and definitely cared to provide us with an optimal dining experience. We came for brunch and would love to come back for dinner one day. The only minor critique I have was a pesky little fly roaming around our dining table, which I understand can happen at times, but I hope something can be done to ensure it doesn't detract from the romantic and elegant dining experience that Blue Pearl strives to provide! So if you're looking for a romantic and intimate dining experience with a spectacular waterfront view, Blue Pearl definitely fits that description! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Blue Pearl nails it on every level from the moment that you enter this exquisite space. The food, Seafood/ Asian fusion is delightfully inspired and that Bang Bang Margarita was terrific! The waterside location overlooking the Verranzzano is a beautiful spot. Can't wait to go again, and worth every penny.

    Make your reservation now! Thank me later! They confirmed my res. I made a few requests since it was my 10 wedding anniversary and they made sure everything was in place. Down to the table I requested. We walked in and Chef Peter Botros and Manager Jon Cole were right in front waiting to greet you. The audience!!! OMG!! Talk about attention to detail. Even the way the waiters are dressed. Their aprons and shoes caught my eye. Their aprons have a slot for their pen and they all had shinning brown shoes. Clean and sharp!! Drinks- My husband loves Old Fashions and he ordered Open Sesame. I'm not a drinker I loved they had a nice mocktail selection. I asked our waiter Brian what he recommended. He said the Matcha Mojito. A must try!! Food- Well where do I start. Lobster Roll to die for, Seafood Tower for 2, more like for 4, and the Rice. It was a black rice with flavors that were dancing in my mouth. I'm from West Africa. We know our rice. I'm telling you, unbelievable! There is a surprise after the seafood tower. I will not spoil that for you all. Brian was amazing!! Dessert- The Manager Jon who came to our table almost every 10 mins recommended a drink. It was lavender. He did that because I was undecided on dessert. He said you all try this drink, if you like it I have the perfect dessert. He was spot on. The dessert is a lavender light cake that is just right and not to sweet. The drinks did complement it. Everyone is on point. They are all intoned with the guests, the manager Jon is present speaking to everyone in a truly genuine way to make sure everything meets your expectations. What amazing way to celebrate our anniversary. See you all there soon!!

    This was an extraordinary night out The staff from the doorman to the hostess the chef and the manager were exceptionally gracious and professional. The decor is thoughtfully executed with a calming seafarer touch with royal blue and muted golden accents. The contrast of styles within the drink menu, all the classic wine favorites including rose white and reds is excellent. The small plates and appetizer menu is vast and varied. And the entrees will be satisfying to all who enjoy not only seafood but also land and vegan dishes. This place is spectacular.

    This place is lovely: the service was TOP NOTCH! Haven't had service like that in a while. Our waiter was Alex. He was very knowledgeable, patient and made plenty of wonderful recommendations. The crispy spicy shrimp was out of this world. The crispy rice was top quality, the caviar tasting was simple and delicious. Excellent caviar. The manager was super sweet- she kept asking how we were doing. They are very worried about first impressions. I loved this spot. Will definitely be back

For the prices they're charging, that's unacceptable. It's like they're trying to stretch every drop instead of giving you what you paid for. On top of that, the food menu has clearly changed and not for the better. The options are limited now, and some of the best items that used to make this place worth coming to are just gone. What's left is underwhelming and doesn't match the quality they used to have. And now they don't even have happy hour on Fridays anymore? That was one of the main reasons people came through at the end of the week. Taking that away just makes it even less worth it. I even gave them a second chance, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but that just made it worse. The food left me with an upset stomach and running to the bathroom after, which is the last thing you expect when you're going out to eat. It's disappointing because this used to be a solid spot, but now it feels like they're cutting corners across the board. Definitely not the same Sofia's anymore. I won't be back.

Truth is how can you trust a person with your food that carries an attitude from the minute you walk in till you walkout. Throughout the entire service time she's just un attentive and rude. God forbid you ask her a question.. don't believe me go and see for yourself! Not good for business at all. This was my fourth time here first two times was great. Third time was a let's try it one more time maybe it was a bad day for her. Today was my fourth and last! Mind you she sat us down we mentioned it was cold she looked at my daughter and practically grilled her. Smh. I don't understand why work here then find another job this is food you're serving! She must be the owners son for sure! We waited exactly 20 minutes on the table before we decided to get up and leave. We walked out and there she was on the phone in front of the restaurant. We were never even asked what we wanted to drink for starters. I noticed she walked back in once we walked out. Smh not worth it! I rather eat at a local restaurant that serves Spanish food as well and guaranteed a smile at least on the waitress face.

    I was looking for a spot in the area to meet a friend, and after a quick search settled on Little…read moreNed. As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

    Come to Little Ned for fantastic cocktails in an intimate setting, you won't be disappointed…read more The space is gorgeous, with bar and table seating on the main floor, as well as some standing tables next to the bar if you can't find a seat right away. There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    We had learned that the bar hidden beneath the restaurant, Panela, had changed concepts from the…read moregeneral cocktail lounge, The Sinatra Room, to the tequila- and mezcal-focused, Perico Speakeasy. Since we were big fans of those alcohols, we decided to check it out. The walls of the space were covered in colorful murals with Latin American imagery. There were banquettes along either wall with small tables and ottomans scattered in front of them, providing separate, little areas for each group. Large playing cards were fanned across each table with Jack, Queen, King, and Ace cards each having a menu on its backside. There were bar bites, a spirits list, classic cocktails that could be reimaged with your agave spirit of choice (picture a tequila mojito), and even a custom beverages. The creative drinks were not cheap, coming in at around $20 on average, but they certainly were complex! My La Balacara featured Casamigos Mezcal, spiced pear, Luxardo, orange, ginger, chestnut honey, and a chili tincture. I thought the drink sounded outrageous, but, sadly, all I tasted was that honey, the ingredient of which I was least interested. In fact, the smokiness of the mezcal really did not play well with the chestnut honey, leaving it to taste sort of like licorice. I was not a fan. My companion's El Encanto included Casamigos Cristalino, Lillet Blanc, strawberry-lemongrass cordial, guava, and basil, which sounded herbaceous, but really just tasted like a fancy daiquiri. He enjoyed it, but I found it unimpressive. Our drinks were accompanied by a complementary bowl of spiced popcorn, which was delicious. We had come from an earlier dinner, so the snack was as much as I needed. However, the few larger food items that I saw others order all looked great. While I would go back to Perico to try some other items, I felt like I had had better, more affordable cocktails upstairs at Panela.
