Little Pearl

Incredible 4-course dinner, and each person can pick their own choice for each course so you can get a taste of everything! The “octodogs” were the best octopus I have ever eaten in my life. Loved the vibe!

Hands down the most special dining experience I've had in DC. The experience is fine cuisine with the atmosphere of your favorite dinner table among friends. The warm staff always take great effort to make me and my guests feel like we're more than VIPs - we're like their friends visiting them as they're serving dinner.

This is a hidden secret. The food was incredible. The service was amazing and they sent us home with a night cap treat. I highly recommend!

Better than ever! Exceptional and fun tasting menu with the perfect amount of food. Loved the tomato course and the coconut crusted prawn, the coconut chocolate dessert also won my heart. Service is some of the best in DC, they really speak passionately about each dish and take the time to engage with you, which makes it taste even better. Drinks are also phenomenal, my husband doesn't drink and was wowed by the beet mocktail and fruity pebbles lemonade. The ambiance here is always special, there's nothing else like it in DC

Food wasn't bad, but even for DC and prices, still small. Underwhelming as far as quality of the food. We left sated, but not by much.

The wine was the most disappointing part. Even the little pearl, (cheaper tasting) at $85 for four drinks that are nowhere near full size, was an absolute waste. One of the four "paired" beverages was a cider, out of a can. Split between the two tasters at the table, the math told me I was paying $20 for half of a $5 can.

Ultimately, it was okay. Overpriced in my opinion, but a fun experience to taste some artists creations. I would not return.

It's a beautiful restaurant and the food is actually quite wonderful. However, I do not think I will recommend it over similar restaurants of a comparable quality. We knew that it was a fixed price menu coming into it. But the amount of items that we were up charged and the hidden fees ' because it's DC made the price twice what was originally expected.

I don't think I could refer people to it with the lack of transparency (not the cost) - whick is surprisingly unlike other restaurants i've tried of the same quality.

Went for my birthday. Amazing service. Food was great. Made some accommodations for me and my child. Another dope Michelin Star experience. I think the cheese course was my favorite.

Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegetarian menu. Let them know when you make reservations.

Cool restaurant with great ambiance. Tasting menu is cool and has good food, but is extremely pricey. Would recommend only for a special occasion. Apparently it used to be better when they did the cohort experience.

Had an absolutely fantastic time at Little Pearl celebrating my husband's birthday. The cuisine was delicious, the service was exceptional, and they even succeeded in making cabbage enjoyable, which was quite surprising for a meat lover like myself. The only dish I couldn't complete was the final dessert due to its excessive sweetness.

The bay leaf funnel cake was amazing.

Thank you for giving us a Little Pearl pen as a souvenir; we came because that's her nickname.

We booked the restaurant for a private party and could not have been more pleased with the event. The food, service, atmosphere, dietary accommodations, and planning process were all top-notch.

An excellent dining experience! I came here with my parents, and we loved everything we ate. The food was creative but not too whimsical, which we liked. Hands down, it was one of the best Michelin restaurants we’ve been to. And, on top of the food and wine, the staff was very friendly and the ambiance was great. I’ll definitely be returning!

The Little Pearl dining experience was magical in every way. I’d recommend sitting at the bar - where you have more of an intimate experience. Our bartender recommended some wonderful cocktails to start off the night and we enjoyed each dish that came our way. This restaurant is creative, fun, and most importantly — the food is delicious. I was blown away by the details, precision, and mix of flavors that accompanied every plate. Highly recommend for a date night!

As a Michelin Star restaurant, I knew that I was set to have an extravagant and bespoke experience dinning here.

Round after round and course after course were a hands down a complex aromatic exploration of culinary ingredient-play!! From the Angel Eggs (interesting play on devilled eggs), Coconut Crusted Australian Prawn, Crispy Potatoes and Seafood Remoulade, Black Olive Financier and Aged White Cheddar Fondue plus much more… ✨?✨EVERYTHING was delicious.

My close friend took me to Little Pearl to celebrate my birthday - and I could not have had a better time. There were many birthdays being celebrated that evening - which I believe is a testament to just how special their curated and elevated dining experience is!!

Ethan was our server for the evening, and we really could not had asked for a better experience - all thanks to him and their rest of the team at Little Pearl.

Dietary restrictions: As much as the restaurant has a fixe price menu with tailored courses, they are able to accommodate different dietary restrictions and requirements.
