Tasty, thoughtfully prepared food at Pearl on 23rd Ave. We enjoyed appetizers including smoked salmon mousse. Main dish was The chanterelle mushroom gnocchi. The scallops with yogurt and black lentils were a highlight, with subtle South Indian-inspired flavors. The Corsican dish and Barbera were lovely. The terrace was comfortable but needs better lighting. Portions are small for the price. Service was nice and smooth.

Currently at this restaurant and omggggg this place is amazing! I live in Sunset and this will be my new go to for pasta. I ordered the Bucatini and my partner the Scallops, both worth getting. The ambiance was so romantic and classy, I would definitely get dressed up! Also drinks on 10, the bartender and servers deserve a bonus, so kind! Bucatini: spicy, creamy, al dente Scallops: savory, thick Oysters: creamy as fooookkk

Handkerchief Pasta
Julia L.

The handkerchief white bolognese was very unique to me and delicious! The bread & butter appetizer, while simple, is high quality and worth the $5. I also liked the atmosphere at night, with the low lighting and lots of pothos plants.

acme bread & butter
Doreen T.

While visiting San Francisco, our family made a reservation here so we could enjoy dinner together with our pups on the outdoor patio. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We started with the Acme bread and butter, along with an order of hush puppies. The hush puppies weren't my personal favorite, but our cousins loved them. The four of us shared the the meal family-style, which was the perfect way to sample a variety of dishes. We ordered the roasted cauliflower, halibut crudo, seared scallops, swordfish, and the uniquely named Handkerchief. Despite the unusual name, the Handkerchief was the standout of the night! It's a pappardelle pasta with white Bolognese and Grana Padano cheese. It was such a simple dish, yet incredibly comforting and packed with flavor. It was easily my favorite. My second favorite was the perfectly seared scallops, though honestly, every dish we tried was excellent. To finish, we shared the buttermilk shortcake for dessert. The biggest surprise was that the "shortcake" was actually a buttery biscuit, and somehow it worked beautifully. It was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. Between the delicious food, friendly service, and dog-friendly patio, this is definitely a restaurant I'd happily return to the next time I'm in San Francisco.

Wow wow wow! This is such a beautiful and delicious spot in the Richmond! Such a neighborhood treasure. Highly recommend coming here for date night, birthday, anniversary or just even a fun girl dinner! Everything we ate was amazing and don't skip on dessert !! I recommend a reservation for Manuel waiting! Service was lovely and gave great recommendations

Halibut Crudo
Cidney L.

Loved my first experience at pearl!! The menu options were not overwhelming, the ambiance was cute and cozy with charming decor, the staff was so nice came around right when we needed them. The halibut crudo was amazing!! Every ingredient in that dish was necessary, working altogether. Would recommend the scallops and cauliflower (like everyone else) and a pasta. The only entree we tried was the scallops and that was my favorite bite of the night. Would come back for a special occasion.

Pork chop
Kelly S.

Delicious pork chop and swordfish. We did not have a single bad dish here and in fact, everything we had was rather excellent. Highly recommend. Reservations needed. Busy for a reason. Quality speaks for itself !

Steak

Came here for a dinner with friends and sat outside, the patio area on CA was not very cute, they could definitely do a lot more to make it more aesthetic like the inside. Unfortunately we got unlucky that one of the residents next door took their trash out towards the end of our dinner and it smelled horrible! Obviously not the restaurants fault but don't think I'll be dining outside again. As for the food, it was interesting. Very unique flavors so much so that I'm not sure anything was absolutely worth going back for. It was definitely good and different, but wasn't my favorite. The favorites were the bread service, and the steak tartare. The best pasta was the Handerchief pasta, the rest just weren't great. We were all unimpressed with the scallops and the steak. The steak is just not a great cut. Besides that, the service was warm, friendly and great!

bucatini

Super cute and cozy vibe inside. Definitely a more upscale spot but a nice place for a special occasion. The service was very friendly and prompt. We ordered several small plates and 3 pastas to share between 4 people. I thought all the pastas were just ok -- nothing stood out, though the texture of the handkerchief pasta was great. I just felt like something was missing from each dish (maybe some acidity or sweetness?). The mussels app was pretty good & came with delicious toasted bread. Didn't love the hush puppies though (kind of hard and dry) and very pricey at $6 each. 4 stars for vibes and ambiance and service :)

Love Pearl! Really cute neighborhood spot with good drinks and food. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you can, but you can always grab a seat at the bar. My favorites are the Pearl Martini, Cornmeal Hush Puppies, Halibut Crudo, and Handkerchief Pasta.

Coffee with my cheesecake
Bob K.

I had a killer dinner here, but it's the kind of thing that has to be rare, based on cost. It was Valentine's Night, and The Wife was out of town. I was in the city nearby and searched for neighborhood restaurants, when I saw Pearl. It was just 5 o'clock, and I thought maybe I could sit at the bar. I was correct, but I had to wait for a space to open. No problem, they had little tables set up outside for those of us waiting, who ordered cocktails. I got a pearl martini, which was decent, but a little sweet. It was my first martini with an onion, and will be my last. I got a standard martini next, which was very good. They called my name, and I sat at the far left end of the bar, with a view into the kitchen, and where all the drinks came out. Plenty of fast but controlled activity to watch. I ordered the crudo for an appetizer, and the scallops for the entree. Absolutely fantastic. The scallops had white beans and some kind of small crunchy flakes, and it was not only a great variety of flavors, but textures as well. I got a side of bread, to mop up all the liquid left over -could t get enough of that taste. Along with this I had a glass of sangiovese, and then a glass of grillo. The bartender (Kim, I think?) had a very nice way of bantering while dealing with the high volume of drinks being ordered. Finally, intended with a Valentine's cheesecake and coffee. A great meal, but I'm not in a position to do this except maybe twice a year for special occasions.

Cute little place! If you want indoor seating, make a reservation or wait may take a few hours. Outdoor seating is usually first come first serve. Food was excellent and pricing was reasonable for the portion. Will come back again!

Handkerchief Pasta, Hanger Steak, Spaghetti with Clams
Megan W.

Went during dinner rush hour and service was good and accommodating. With a party of four, we ordered the Handkerchief Pasta ($27), Hanger Steak $34, Spaghetti with Clams ($?). All dishes were great, I think the pricing of pasta may be a tad bit pricey but they're big portions.. so I can't complain too much.. Personally, I would order one pasta dish and share with the table rather than have your own. It's a crazy carb load unless you're an athlete then by all means go for it! The best dish would be the Hanger Steak, great flavor and seasoning.. top notch for sure. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and the waiter was kind enough to turn on the heater for us. Service is again was good, expect it to be slow during a busy night.

Do you have a wine list? What type of wine would you recommend for certain dishes?

Yes they have an extensive wine list. Recommendations can come from the server because it depends on the food ordered...

Is there a charge for cutting an outside cake for a birthday? Or does Pearl have a candle option for house desserts?

Yes, $5 for each slice. And always a candle for any special occasion on dessert when you order it.

Is there no more Sunday brunch?

No, I wish.

What is the dress code of the place? Would I be turned away if I showed up in jeans?

Can be casual. But it's def a mix which I like.

How is the outdoor seating on a January night? Most evenings recently have been 49 - 53 degrees. Is it too chilly to enjoy dinner in this outdoor space even with coats?

Pearl does a fantastic job with heating. There are plumbed in heaters above the tables against the building and sufficient heaters throughout the outdoor seating. Typically I have to remove my coat, even when it's cool outside.

How much is the corkage fee? Don't see any California wines on Your wine list. Not fond of Italian wines. Since we are in California I would think you would have a few, especially chards and cabs.

30$

As I'm watching Check Please an episode from (2019) KQED, Pre-Pandemic..... One of the waitresses placed her bare hand into the cheese and sprinkled it on top of a salad and…

Calm down Portia

What meat is in the "white bolognese"?

Pork and beef

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes

Are dogs allowed in your restaurant? I was there for brunch last Sunday and a woman sitting at the counter had a dog on her lap. Thought that was kind of odd.

All service and companion dogs are allowed into any restaurant with proper identification and certifcation.

Are there gluten free options?

Yes

Are there any vegan options?

Yes. The menu may change seasonally, but when I visited I was able to have gnochi entree (sauce may be vegan tomato or mushroom cream - so ck when you make a reservation), cauliflower dish, salad, and dessert.

Amazing food, cute and casual ambiance, and amazing service!…read more We had the Arabic coffee, a mixed kabab platter, and the half & half (half hummus, half rice). The chicken kabob was so tender and flavorful -- definitely my favorite! If you're someone who doesn't have a high tolerance for spice, this place is perfect because the flavors are delicious without being overwhelmingly spicy. And personally, the Arabic coffee was the highlight for me! It's honestly one of the best coffees I've had so far. Loved everything about this experience and would definitely come back!

We came here for lunch last Saturday. Place is very cute inside. Love the decor…read more We were seated at the window right away and the server brought us water, olives and pickled radish. Then took our order. Afterwards, brought us pita bread with tomato sauce with chunks of onion and tzatziki sauce. Pita was warm and the sauces were outstanding. We ordered Chicken Shawarma plate with half rice and hummus and Lamb shish kebab sandwich. The shawarma was delicious! First time I saw it in yellow color. Maybe the turmeric. Chicken was moist and tender, lots of different spices. Rice was cooked perfectly and the hummus was hearty and savory. Really amazing hummus, probably the best I ever had. My hubby had the lamb sandwich and really enjoyed it. Only issue is that, the fried eggplant was missing. Instead, it was bell pepper. He was excited to have the eggplant but did not work out. He said that it needed a little more spices in the lamb. It was missing a punch there somewhere, lol. Overall we enjoyed the food. Everyone was very nice and attentive. Would like to try their other dishes in the future.
