We have experienced this restaurant now four times. It is all good. The service was excellent as always. The crab cakes are to die for and the entree is always presented in such a way that it invites the patron to sit back and just enjoy.

Food had its very good and not so good side, but the cacophony of noise made the meal miserable. Our waitress could not hear our orders and one could not hear one's companions across the table. An acoustical engineer relative has a decibel level app on his iPhone, and Pearl topped out at every level at 7:30 pm. The good... More

The menu is inventive. If you sit at the bar you can watch the excellent kitchen staff in action. (And the bartenders/servers are very friendly and professional). At this point we have tried every menu item but seem to return to the "roll your owns". Two problems - hard to choose, so an appetizer sampler might be a good start.... More

We had a great ime at Pearl! The food was delicious! The BBQ ribs were finger licking good and the lemon grass chicken to die for. The only issus is how close you are the the tables next to you. We could have shared a dish we were that close. It's hard for the servers as well to deliver and... More

It's the best restaurant in NH. Everything is always fresh and delicious! You won't find a better or fresher selection of oysters anywhere in the area.

I live in New York City and despite that, Pearl is my favorite restaurant! We go there every time we are in New Hampshire and the crazy chicken and roll your owns are delicious! Good oysters, fresh food and a fun drink menu.

We have been here three times. Each time the food has been fabulous. The atmosphere is tight with bistro seating... Which is fine except when they are not busy they still seat you right next to someone else. The oyster selection is wonderful as ate the desserts. Service is excellent!

Tried oysters for the first time in my life (I know, right?) Wonderful! The waitress was knowledegable about beer and wine choices, helpful with the menu, and very friendly and kind. The place was noisy but I loved that it seemed to be filled with locals who all knew each other and were having a great time! Would definitely eat... More

Interesting menu and all excellent. Oysters are a specialty. Great desserts. Full bar with very good selection of brands. My only complaint -- it is a long narrow room and very noisy. But the food and ambiance, otherwise, are worth a visit anyway.

They have great food and the best thing is they serve "consistently" good food. I've never had a bad dish there. Great cocktails too!
