Little Pearl

Just down the street from Rose’s Luxury and Pineapple and Pearls, this intimate boîte is yet another feather in the same restaurant group’s proverbial cap. Possessing all the charm of a carriage house, the dining room is closer to a sunroom encased in glass with expansive views of the green surroundings. The cooking is equally attractive: Seasonal fare prepared with panache and a touch of luxury. Think oysters with fried potatoes and seaweed remoulade or poached pears with bay leaf ice cream. The menu is a revolving door of ideas, except for the signature angel egg amuse. An eclectic wine list makes for a thoughtful pairing. In total, dinner here goes for less than other tasting menus in town, but with no less boldness, care, and creativity.
