The pearl was an experience.
The place was modern, white, and romantic.
Service overall was good. Our table was ready quickly, and the food came out quick. The server had knowledge and knew the menu.
The food by itself is Asian inspired. Some dishes were good. Some were great. I will mention only the highlights – cornbread, rangoons, and short rib.
The Coctails were ok. The first one that we ordered was really small. The second round was a full cup. The taste overall was ok. Prices were ridiculously expensive.
Dessert wasn’t as good as expected.
It’s not a dessert place.
I would visit again, yes. There is something interesting and unique at this place.

The bar is so beautiful, so is the restaurant itself. The food was very good and the presentation was on point!
We started with ceviche and beef tartare, finished with potatoes and steak – which was absolutely amazing!! Thank you Svetlana and Kevin for great service and fun time!

Half empty on a Saturday night for a reason — The Pearl is not what it used to be. We hoped that it was. Started with milk bread, which was not milk bread, but stale regular dinner rolls. Then $25 pork dumplings which were no better than $10 dumplings at a local chinese take-out. Finally an $85 lobster wok fried bowl that was so soaked with sugar-based sauce that was inedible. Won’t be going back. Avoid.

Restaurant Review: The Pearl, Nantucket – A True Island Gem
Nantucket is a place that holds its own kind of magic—cobblestone streets, sea-salt air, and a charm that’s impossible to resist. With so many incredible dining options, choosing where to go can feel overwhelming. But thanks to a friend’s recommendation, we discovered The Pearl, and I only wish we had gone sooner.
From the moment we stepped inside, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. We began our evening with cocktails at the bar, which were crafted to perfection. The ambiance was chic yet welcoming—elegant without being pretentious.
Once seated at our table, the service continued to impress. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly pleasant—striking the perfect balance between professional and personable.
As for the food? Absolutely amazing. I ordered the Asian Wok-Fried Lobster, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. And according to my husband I’m hard to please! The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully balanced—truly a culinary highlight of our trip.
The Pearl is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you’re visiting Nantucket, this is a must. Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable dinner or a special night out, The Pearl delivers on every front.
We’re already planing our next visit when the weather warms up, just so we can enjoy their outdoor seating and soak in even more of that Nantucket charm. Until then, we’ll be raving about our visit and recommending it to everyone we know.

Both the front of house and back of house staff are doing it better than anywhere else on island! Food is excellent & the staff serving it know their stuff. I am always impressed from the moment I come in! From the ambience (perfect music), the cozy vibe in the bar room (window seat is the best bar seat on island), colorful & freshly prepared creative cocktails, & of course the delicious food. Mushroom udon & lobster Rangoon were unreal! Best of all is the staff here-they are true professionals.

The decor and design in the pearl is incredible. Beautifully done inside. The drinks were good, no complaints. Lobster Rangoon’s were excellent but small (only get 3). The pork dumplings were incredible and highly recommended. The tuna fried rice was also excellent, but again very small with 4 bite size pieces. The cod entree was pretty good, fish was cooked well and the sauce was nice. The green beans were a little under cooked and were the weak part there. All in all the food was good, but certainly overpriced and undersized even for ACK.

In April, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at The Pearl with several friends, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, the food and service exceeded every expectation — truly some of the best I’ve ever encountered. Each dish was a masterpiece, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. I’m already counting down the days until I can return to The Pearl on my next visit to Nantucket. It’s an absolute must!

The Pearl is absolutely perfect! From the atmosphere to the staff members.
Every dish was a delight. I started with the Heritage Pork Dumpling, which was as beautiful as it was delicious. For the main course, I chose the Mushroom Udon with coconut, garlic oil, truffle, and a side of house fries. I was not disappointed, possibly my favorite meal. The server suggested a wine that complemented my meal beautifully.
It was the perfect dinner with the girls!
