Michelin-starred tasting menu with creative dishes & wine pairings
"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
"Identified as a more budget-friendly sibling to a trend-setting restaurant (the same team as Rose’s Luxury) and recommended as an alternative on Capitol Hill." - Eater Staff
"Choose to partake in Little Pearl’s $128-per-diner tasting menu in its cozy private dining room, glass-enclosed conservatory, covered patio, or the bar. The restaurant offers 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 ($90 or $150 per person), or opt to sip a la carte. Reservations via Resy." - Tierney Plumb
"This intimate restaurant has kept its star as it transitioned from a cafe and wine bar to a prix fixe dining spot with one of the best-priced seven course tasting menus ($118) in the city. This sibling to Rose’s Luxury serves up seasonal mid-Atlantic fare and incredible sweets (check out the 75-day doughnut) in a glass-enclosed conservatory, enclosed patio, and chill bar." - Emily Venezky
