    In town on a work trip. A colleague suggested we go to Ladino. I'm not hugely familiar with Mediterranean food but thought why not. We sat out on the patio. It was heated so took the chill off on a cool night. Our server was wonderful. Attentive and a great personality. We did the Tables of Joy and there's a reason they call it that. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It was plenty of food. Our server suggested some combinations when we were going through a couple courses. It was probably one of the best meals I've had and truly a unique experience. For the food and experience I felt it was very good value for the money. Definitely recommend a visit and splurge on the Table of Joy.

    Pita bread!!
    LaRonda G.

    I would rate this place six stars if I could. From the moment I walked us the service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is beautiful inside. It is upscale but still very comfortable and colorful. The menu has options for every course and everything sounded so appealing. To get a great experience of the menu we opted for the chef's choice option. They pick items from the menu for you keeping in line with any dietary restrictions you have. There are so many outstanding items on the menu such as spicy feta. Why I never thought to season all the feta I have eaten is beyond me but its such a great idea. This was so addicting and with the fresh pita bread its heavenly. The butternut spread is very tasty too but I am a cheese head so the feta was my favorite. I also really enjoy the lamb dumplings. These little orbs of delicious lamb in a yogurt sauce that also pairs with everything. The braised leeks were tender but flavorful. Tis dish might throw you off texturally but i am glad I tried it. The sweet potatoes with the tahini sauce was a wonderful surprise of flavors. All this and we hadn't even gotten to the entrees yet. We had a pork souvalki and chicken skewer. Both were so tender and seasoned perfectly. They were melt in your mouth good. Lastly was a chocolate pudding that was the perfect balance of sweet and bitter. I was so stuffed at the end but I had to power through to finish that pudding. No pudding left behind. Our waiter Richard gave us wonderful recommendations and his enthusiasm was infectious. It was a wonderful experience for my birthday and I really thank the staff for their stellar performance. I don't know who the chef is but they deserve a raise.

    My girl has been wanting to come here for a minute since her hermana had a wonderful experience here. I booked a reservation for her birthday and played it off like we were going elsewhere, as in a spot I love to go to because it is all about ME. She grew suspicious as we approached the pearl but she finally picked up on it when we walked away from the other establishment. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and promptly seated. We were given water and the server thoroughly explained the menu offerings from the regular menu, the meza de alegría, and finally the restaurant week menu. She was very patient with our questions and made some very good recommendations. I opted for the lamb as my entree and it was cooked to perfection and paired well with the Syrah wine I chose. My mainest girl opted for the regular menu and her hummus appetizer and the mushroom shawarma were beyond perfect. And this coming from somebody that despises mushrooms. The restaurant is well spaced but at first look seems crowded. Appearances are deceiving, we weren't shouting at each other and it was a quite intimate experience. I'm glad I dragged my feet and took my cherrie to this restaurant on her day. We'll definitely return!!

    Pita, zalouk, fatoush

    Beautiful date night and super fast service! The food was good, we went for resturant week because we wanted to try a variety of things. Apps: The pita is DIVINE, warm and fluffy. The zalouk was okay. It's Smokey and on the heavier side. The fatoush was a fresh salad, loved the vinaigrette! Only down side is the parsley in it (I am not a fan of parsley). Main course: Mansaf- the lamb chops were so juicy and flavorful. Would definitely get again! Warm mushrooms: this surprisingly tasted very meaty! My husband and I enjoyed this, different than what we normally reach for. Dessert: Poached pear: tasted like a candle but in a good way . The cream on top was so smooth and balanced out the pear and floral taste. I would def get again! Olive oil cake: unfortunately this was super dry. It was similar to like corn bread.

    My love surprised me with a dinner reservation to Ladino for my birthday. I've been wanting to come here since my sister raved about it a year ago! The experience was beyond all expectations. The restaurant is aesthetically beautiful. The space is large with many tables close to one another, but still managed to feel very intimate. Our server was incredible. I don't think she told us her name because we started talking immediately and we learned she was from New Jersey. She went on to explain the options including the offerings for restaurant week vs the mezas de alegria-a curated dining experience-vs ordering from the menu. My boyfriend ordered from the restaurant week menu and I ordered from the menu. We decided to come back for mezas de alegria next time. Fatoush: seasonal veggies in lemon zataar vinaigrette, with herbs, and a crispy pita. Phenomenal. The veggies were fresh and crispy and every one was perfectly coated in the most delicious vinaigrette. The best part was the crispy pita which was cracked by tapping it with the back of the spoon. It was so delicious and full of flavors. What a freaking start! Hummus with pita: spectacular! Better than the one I make (tears). The hummus was creamy and full of fresh flavors. The marinated chickpeas added a lovely bit of texture. The pita was steaming hot, pillowy soft, and just perfect. Mansaf: grilled lamb chop with freekeh. I've never had lamb before, but this is what I think is called perfectly cooked. It was tender, flavorful, just a perfect bite. The freekeh was amazing. Every bite was just better and better. Mushroom shwarma- mushrooms, beets, peanut salsa, onions, toum (similar to a garlic aioli). Spectacular! The mushrooms had an amazing smoked flavor and meaty texture. The onions were surprisingly the star that brought everything together. I would eat this every day. Poached pear: even though I'm not eating sugar, I made an exception for this meal. The poached pear was out of this world! Poached in sweetness and warm spices and served over a delicious sweet cream with walnut crumble. Freaking amazing. Skinny Santorini: mocktail-cucumber, dill, aloe, lime. Delicious and refreshing. Before we left, we were already planning our return. The experience was just incredible. Highly recommended.

    Chicken kebab with risotto

    We had reservations for two but ended up being 3 of us. They were accommodating and got us a table with very minimal wait. The food was delicious. It has a distinct Mediterranean flavor that just hit the spot. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Presentation was good and they always made sure to give details of what they were serving. Our server was very friendly and personable. Place was bustling inside and out.

    We came to Ladino to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the evening feel extra special. We decided to go with the chef's curated meal, and it was such a fun experience letting the kitchen surprise us. Every dish was delicious, you can really tell how much care goes into the food here. Our absolute favorite was the dumplings, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor! The only dish we didn't love quite as much were the lamb ribs, which were a bit too charred for our taste, but everything else more than made up for it. The service was excellent! Our server checked in regularly, made sure we were happy with each course, and was genuinely attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. We'll definitely be back!

    Saffron chicken
    Cristina B.

    I've been Yelp elite for 8 yrs now and although I may not be on the Michelin Star award team (yet) lol I know that when service doesn't match the quality of the food, it's a clear indication of why a restaurant with a Michelin "bib" doesn't have an actual star...Consistency is key and when you've dined domestically and internationally you feel the energy of a restaurant and the cohesiveness of the chef and staff alike! It's palpable! Good service is paramount for me! Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in I felt inadequate. We arrived 12 mins early for our reservation and we waited a while to be seated only to be sat outside where there was plenty of open seating (still) long after we were seated. We deduced that we were sat outside because we had our 1yr old daughter with us and there were 4 other people with kids outside... My husband went inside (no kids inside, how ironic). It must not be a kid/family friendly place because they informed us they ran out of high chairs when we asked for one. The sun was blazing on our face and melted the ice in my drink. Not to mention we asked for an umbrella for shade and it never made it to our table. We waited for the sun to set. No biggie.... We waited for the food.... So, our server, who I won't even mention any names because it is what it is. Asked if we had dined here before and we said no. We were kind of set on what we wanted and were craving but he suggested the table of joy where the chef picks all items served but they excluded some of the items we were set on, which he later said he can sub (why not say that to begin with?). So we stuck with his recommendation. Our order consisted of the spicy feta and butternut squash to start with, which wow! Absolutely phenomenal and the stars of the evening and our culinary experience! Both were served with a side of pita bread. Next came a delicious and perfectly dressed salad! Followed by dumplings in a yogurt sauce and zucchini fritters with a tasty spicy tzatziki sauce to dip in. The zucchini fritters were another favorite for me. For the main entrees we had the lamb belly ribs on a bed of greens and tzatziki. I had high hopes for the ribs but they were salty and overcooked (charred). Last was the saffron chicken very tender, juicy and flavorful (on a skewer) with a side of risotto which was cold and a little undercooked :( The finale was the dessert and the "icing on the cake" a bug on our cake lol when my husband flicked the bug off our server saw it and took it back. It took a while to get another one which we almost just passed on. We were ready to go home at this point. Last but not least Aesthetic and presentation 10/10 however; I'm sad to say I probably won't return. :( Still grateful we experienced it and checked it off our list!

    Mushroom Shawarma
    Erin Y.

    This restaurant is so deserving all of the praise it gets. Definitely make a reservation if planning on coming here, the inside seems busy but it adds to the restaurants character. Everything is cooked on a live fire grill, so you have to order everything at once. Came here for a late birthday celebration, we literally had no complaints or anything negative to say. The waitress was so helpful in guiding us on how much food to order, as well as explaining each dish as it came out. I wish I took more pictures of what we ordered but our favorite was definitely the mushroom shawarma! Tip: keep the hummus to eat it with other dishes :)

    Second time trying out Ladino at The Pearl. This time, we sat upstairs where we could order from both the happy hour and regular menus. Our bartender helped me pick out a cocktail called Amba No. 5. It was made with mezcal, amba, passionfruit and fresno chile-honey. I was fine with it although I found it slightly too syrupy. Nevertheless, it did give a good buzz. Tried the zaalouk and the saganaki from the happy hour menu. We were served a generous serving of hot puffy pita bread. Both dishes were very good. The saganaki was so good. I ordered the Steamed Red Snapper. It was a very special dish and I enjoyed it. Two individuals served the dishes to us one by one. One would serve the dish and the other would describe the dish to us as they are served. I thought it maybe the chef himself but it is how they serve. I really liked knowing exactly what I am eating and how it was prepared. Being a fish freak, I enjoyed the unique way of preparation. The food, ambiance and service were great.

    Never been here but now as I sit in a food coma on my way home - I wonder why as it was exceptional!! They had a very well priced prefixed brunch or a la carte which was our choice today! We began with drinks - my daughter and I shared the hibiscus- mango mimosa and it made sense price wise to go with the bottle for $55! My husband had the 'man walks into a bazaar' which he loved! Then we went with all the dips - delicious hummus, spicy feta, Muhammara, spicy plate and Tirshi which was the table favorite!! Then we shared the mushroom shawarma which was exceptional and all dishes were accompanied by warm bread that was a pita naan combo!! Great service, really cool ambience and fantastic location in the Pearl! Will be back for sure ! Excellent

    Nice small location. Restaurant and patio downstairs with a some tables and a bar up stairs. The service was helpful and attentive. The food came a little slow but the company was good. Loved the food! I could have eaten the appetizers all night --- spicy feta :). I will add the saffron chicken had unique blend of spices. Yummy! The prices for such a small amount of food was a little shocking. Yet we enjoyed all!

    Cute upscale Mediterranean restaurant by the Pearl. Some hot mezzes were a miss but the hummus was delicious. Portion sizes on the smaller side for the price. Intimate atmosphere and great, attentive service - great spot for a date night

You can tell there's a deep respect for traditional recipes, from the balance of seasoning to the freshness of ingredients and the way meats are grilled to perfection. The mixed grill is a must order, giving you a full tour of perfectly cooked kebabs that are juicy, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. The lahmacun is thin, crispy, and packed with flavor, the kind of dish you think you'll share but end up keeping to yourself.

At this point, yes, I'm addicted, and if you're even slightly into Turkish cuisine, you probably will be too. Dont Think Twice! Go eat some legit Turkish Food. Also on Sunday they have a buffet brunch!
