Had a great dinner at Pearl 6101! We grabbed the chips & dip while waiting for our table — super good and tasty, definitely worth it. Then we had the Japanese sweet potato as an appetizer, which was insanely good.
For mains, we tried the Handkerchief and Crescenza Caramelle pastas — both were delicious, and you can tell the pasta is homemade. The whole vibe of the place is really cozy and fun. Make sure to get a reservation in advance as this place is always busy!

Our favorite restaurant in SF! My husband & I are regulars here. It’s an incredibly well rounded spot - the perfect blend of wonderful atmosphere, well prepared food, great drinks, and attentive service. I recommend making a reservation if you want to be sure of a table - we always walk in but sometimes wait for a while at the bar tables outside (which is in itself a very pleasant experience…cocktails and delicious oysters while streetwatching). It feels like a neighborhood spot, but every dish is just so inventive and delicious. Such a gem!

I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at The Pearl 6101 in San Francisco. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The Japanese sweet potatoes were an unexpected standout, perfectly roasted with a caramelized edge that made them both comforting and elegant. The kampachi crudo was bright and fresh, with a delicate balance of flavors that let the fish shine.
The scallops were seared to perfection, tender and buttery, while the lamb pasta was rich, deeply flavorful, and one of the most satisfying pasta dishes I’ve had in a long time. You can tell the kitchen puts real care and creativity into every plate.
What made the evening even more special was the exceptional service. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, the kind of service that makes you feel genuinely taken care of without ever being intrusive.
From start to finish, The Pearl delivered a warm, refined, and memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Came in with higher hopes but it was a let down. The starters were mid - tartare and crab hushed puppies. The mains were slightly better but nothing out of the ordinary. Got the handkerchief and seared scallops. The positive was that the scallops were well cooked
The outdoor space was lovely and the staff during our visit were friendly. Unfortunately, all four of us became sick with food poisoning afterward, with oysters being the only shared dish. I recognize oysters carry risk, but when I called to let the restaurant know, the response I received felt dismissive rather than concerned. A more empathetic and professional acknowledgment would have made a difference. This interaction has ultimately discouraged me from returning.

Hands-down one of my top 3 restaurants in SF. The menu always has familiar dishes but with changes to how they're prepared which keeps everything interesting. Their wine list changes regularly as well and always has a great selection across price ranges. Highly recommend ordering a spicy mezcal margarita - my favorite margarita in the city. The whole menu is amazing - especially the oysters, crispy prosciutto caesar, all the pastas, hangar steak and I could go on. Atmosphere and the staff are also great. My one ask - please bring back brunch!

First time here and instantly became my favorite restaurant in San Francisco! The ambiance, the service, the food... all impeccable! Can't wait to go back!
Kat was the best server I have had in a long time. That goes even before she found my bracelet and stored it for safe keeping. Her upbeat attitude, quick and effective service, and proper recommendations helped us have an incredible night.
Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS. I’ve never had a white bolognese before, now I can’t stop craving it. We also shared the octopus as an appetizer and it was prepared perfectly. Even those in my group reluctant to eat it went back for seconds.
Most of the staff seemed to really care about the work they were doing. When our heater went out, it was quickly refilled with a new propane tank. Lost my bracelet? No worries, Kat’s attentive eye found it for me and the ethical staff kept it in safe keeping for me. Our crew only received a tiny bit of attitude from the host upon arrival. Maybe she was just having a bad night. No matter, the rest of the evening was perfect.
Thank you again, Kat!

This was a very exciting and delicious experience. Our server Daniel made the evening extra special. He was just as exciting as the food and let me tell you the food is EXCEPTIONAL ONE OF THE MANAGERS SHE HAS LONG RED HAIR WAS ALSO VERY CARING AND ATTENTIVE TOWARDS US. WE WERE CELEBRATING THREE BIRTHDAYS, AND SHE WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO MAKE US FEEL CELEBRATED AS DID DANIEL. BRILLIANT CHEF AND MENU WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK
