A DOOR IS A PROMISE. THIS ONE KEEPS A SECRET.You expect velvet and a hostess stand. You get a door — crimson, unmarked, the only loud thing on the block. Behind it: a kitchen with real technique and no interest in performing it, a wine list with a mind of its own, and eighty seats in a room you can't see into from the street. On purpose.

    Everything we ate was incredibly delicious. We always get the Caesar salad. The dishes are unique. Some have a little kick. The server was excellent. He requested a glass of wine that I did not care for so he brought me a new wine. Desserts are good as well.

    We love their classic menu but the specials this time were irresistible. My wife had the duck breast and it was perfectly cooked. I had the pork chops and really enjoyed them too. We swapped bites and agreed that we both made good choices. The service was excellent as always.

    A beautiful birthday dinner celebration! Our steaks and seafood were prepared perfectly. The server and chef also took care to prepare a dish customized to my food allergies. We were celebrating two birthdays and the staff brought out two generous slices of delicious cake, beautifully presented, complete wiht lit candles--all on their own, without request! It was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Highly recommend Prime & Pearl for special occasions, excellent service, and delicious menu options!
