    Miss Pearl made us feel super welcome and were accommodating with requests. The menu isn’t extensive but everything they do is standout good. Crispy eggplant, brisket bun, charred beans and chicken in master stock were all sublime. For desserts, the pineapple and kaffir lime granita with whipped coconut and the tiramisu mocha….surprising and so delicious. Can’t wait to go back and work through the rest of their offerings. Highly recommend.
