Tucked in a charming carriage house on Capitol Hill, Little Pearl serves a creative seven-course tasting menu, perfectly paired with a stellar wine list.
"If Rose’s Luxury had a big sister—one who’s a little more elegant, and a little more serious—it would be Little Pearl. The restaurant serves modern American dishes that range from comforting classics like deviled eggs to more inventive seafood-centric plates, like red curried pork with razor clams. Each seating is a set $118 seven-course tasting menu, but that doesn’t stop Little Pearl from filling the dining room each night. Set apart from the bustle of Barracks Row, this is a good spot for a grown-up birthday or an anniversary." - madeline weinfield

"Little Pearl is another establishment under Rose’s Restaurant Group, located near Pineapple & Pearls." - Tierney Plumb
"Choose to partake in Little Pearl’s $115-per-diner tasting menu in their cozy private dining room, glass-enclosed conservatory, covered patio, or the bar. They offer a custom wine pairing to go alongside a seven-course meal that goes heavy on seasonal ingredients. A master sommelier offers two baller wine pairings ($85 or $150 per person), or opt to sip a la carte." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"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." - Michelin Inspector
