First time experience & I am already excited to come back & try other delicious dishes! Staff is super friendly & helpful. Ordered 3 appetizers: lobster tempura, crispy pork belly, & shishito peppers. 10/10 all three Two entrees: Branzino was cooked & paired to perfection from the sauce it laid on to the veggie medley YUM!! I can still savor it as i type! Wow The Pad Thai was not your traditional however, very very delicious if you want a vegetarian dish - this hits deliciously different. Light yet filling & full of flavor! Drinks yes please! Bartender!!! Snaps snaps for you!! Cheers mate [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is super clean, chic & chill romantic vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is phenomenal! We came there yesterday for a second time and once again everything was so tasty. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Usually at least one thing fails but not in this place!! Drinks are incredible as well. Places like this needs to be celebrated and the word has to be spread. They got so blessed with their chef. The food is honestly above and beyond. Service is 5 stars as well. Bravo! Excellent place for a romantic date read more

Pearl District delivered an outstanding dining experience from beginning to end! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only was the ambiance inviting and comfortable, every single dish was delicious, making it hard to pick favorites, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into both the flavors and presentation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The beet salad was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The Brussels sprouts were absolutely incredible and easily some of the best we've had. The salt & pepper shrimp had the perfect balance of savory and sweet, and the quality of the shrimp itself was very high. The braised short ribs were cooked to perfection, and were so tender they practically fell apart with each bite. For dessert, the Wonder bar was a fun surprise and tasted remarkably like a Snickers in the best possible way. The chocolate bread pudding was also a favorite, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. A special thank you to our server, Nicholas, who was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and struck the perfect balance of checking in without ever being intrusive. Between the incredible food and top-notch hospitality, Pearl District is a place we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful inside, amazing service, good was exquisite![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the salmon and branzino and both were amazing! Definitely go to this awesome restaurant!! read more

I found this spot via yelp. From start to finish one of the best meals I've had. What made my experience extra special was having Ella (bartender) serve me. I walked in for a Filet but her enthusiasm for small plates got me so after three appetizers and dessert a wonderful cocktail and Fernet I was more than satisfied!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience I will be back and hopefully Ella is behind the bar. read more

We've had two great dinners here recently. Menu is limited but varied enough to not get boring . Very friendly and efficient service . I'll be back to try some more of their dishes because so far they are 2 for 2 . read more

10/10. Have dined at PD a few time and they have never missed. Most recently had our company holiday dinner here and so glad we did. Drinks are delicious and pack a punch (not too sweet, just perfect!) & the food is divine. You really can't go wrong with anything you select on the menu but do me a favor and get the braised short rib appetizer. Service is great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is super cute and quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect location in a popular Westlake shopping center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Happy holidays! read more

We came here to celebrate a couple family birthdays and we had a great time! Our server was very responsive and friendly. The service was just the right speed for a relaxed dinner - prompt enough that it kept things moving but never felt rushed. We started with some drinks. They have a good mix of cocktails and wine on the menu. Then we got a couple appetizers. We had a couple braised short ribs, ahi tuna crudo, and sourdough bread to share amongst 7 people. For the main course I ordered the branzino. It was delicious! The lemon butter sauce was so good and flavorful, and the potatoes and veggies that were paired with it complimented the fish really well. It had nice crispy skin on it too, which I loved. For dessert, almost all of us ordered the wonder bar. It was a peanut butter caramel shortbread dessert that was pretty unique to most restaurant desserts. It was delicious! I almost finished the whole thing even though I was stuffed, because it was just that good. read more

Loved the restaurant, food was amazing, every course was delicious, but better then that the service was like eating in a restaurant in Europe fresh plates and silverware for every course and our waitress couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. I can't wait to go back. read more

First time w/ my daughter. We both really enjoyed the entrées. Surprisingly enough they were a good size portion for a fancy place like this. I was happy about that. Was dreading that it would be a super small portion. We got the Branzino fish & Salmon plate. Both really delicious!!! Waitress was super nice. Can't remember her name sadly (sorry) but she was super friendly & helpful. We also the beef ribs for appetizers (expensive) but was worth it. Tasted so good & prepared just right. Definitely would come back!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice dinner spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went for my Birthday dinner last Friday and had a wonderful meal. We had the beef tartar which was delicious and the crudo to start. I had the halibut for dinner and it was cooked perfect. We also had the Wonder bar for dessert. Our server was good and our food came out in a timely manner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is simple dimely lit and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Excellent service, the meals here are always such a treat with the specials. Servers are very accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the menu as I have many allergies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They originally sat us in the front of the restaurant, we requested a seat change because we and my wife wanted to sit next to each other instead of across and they opened a section in the back for just us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Above and beyond service. Very thankful for the experience. read more

Came here for a special date night on New Year's Eve last year. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in the front where there was a cold draft.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fine, but food was average at best. Perhaps the experience was below average since it was a holiday which is disappointing. Food was also not hot which is a bad sign. Wouldn't bother coming back. read more

First time coming here on the new year eve and we had a great time. I did a make a reservation ahead of time and it turned out to be the right decision. We ordered the daily special shrimp cocktail as well as the lobster tempura for the appetizers and grilled salmon as the main dish. The lobster tempura would be my favorite for the night, very flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also like their cocktail selections and I ordered "muddy monk" myself and my parent ordered "wildwood". I like the yuzu flavor of my drink and it's not too sweet. Another thing to note that they have great desserts and excellent services. We enjoyed every bite of the "wonder bar" and it paired perfectly with the dessert wine we ordered. One thing to note that is it seems like they do change the menu from time to time so the dishes you liked before might not be there any more but I do like that they always bring something new to the menu. read more

Of all the restaurants in LA/Orange County, we chose here to celebrate Bae's 50th birthday. Food: 5 stars, creative and tasty. I ordered a bit of everything 6 dishes in total and devoured it all. Food coma is setting in .. but well worth the brief culinary sojourn. Service: exceptional from start to finish. 5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: cute and quaint. 5 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking: plenty and free. 5 stars. A hidden gem in Westlake Village. Highly recommended and will definitely be back. Thank you for a memorable evening. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice quaint little restaurant with an amazing bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bar seating looks like reservation only, but I may be wrong.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their drinks are spectacular and clever in their concoctions. The old fashioned was made well, but the wildwood cocktail really impressed. Had to try the muddy monk which they claimed was a "bartender's drink"; it combines complex ingredients to give an earthy taste. I personally really liked it, but I have varied taste. Crispy Parmesan risotto cake is a must have. The Norwegian halibut was good. Crispy Asian chicken breast tasted like orange chicken. Their service is really fast and great. read more

I had another extraordinary experience here tonight. The food was fabulous. The filet mignon tartar is so delicious, love the garlic sauce 6/5. The salmon was also tasty 4.5/5. Chuck took good care of us 5/5. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Wow, excellent service and meal! We ordered bread & butter, 4 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, and drinks for a table of 3. Darren provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was seasonal and rotating off at the end of summer. Instead of bringing out all our appetizers at once, he paired them so the flavors would compliment each other and brought 2 out at a time so we could enjoy them slowly. His judgement was spot on and the chef made delicious food with artisanal touches to each plate which made it very elevated and special. I see why this place has been around for so long. Make sure to book a reservation because they are fully booked. They are also pet friendly as I saw two different couples with their dogs dine on the patio. So we got cocktails to start off the meal with bread and butter. I got mezcal and the rim was salted with vietnamese carrot salt - so good. The butter was infused with herbs and something unidentifiable and it was so good. For appetizers we started with shrimp ceviche and crispy shishito pepper. The pairing was delightful and the ceviche had whole shrimp pieces, not diced up into little pieces like you may be accustomed too. Then we got tempura lobster and salt n pepper shrimp. Wow, what a pairing. I've never had lobster like that before and it was so good! We shared short rib ragu and brazino which were both stellar but the brazino definitely was a highlight with the sauce that it came with. By this time we were all pretty full but we wanted to end on a sweet note. We got the wonder bar which tasted like a decadent snickers bar. Every dish we got tasted so good and there were thoughtful touches throughout the meal that made you appreciate the plating or taste or something that caught your attention. The service was equally matched with the ambience and plating, A+++, 5 stars for Darren who was amazing and took our picture at the end. read more

An okay place to go break up the monotony of the food scene in WLV, but underwhelming to say the least. Tiny portions for appetizers that cost $16-20, which is expected at this point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is minimal but I think that's just my personal taste.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is good. What really got me though was fact that I went with a group of 10 and we all ordered different things, but I think just about every single dish had a fried component which I find unnecessary and a huge turn off. Pasta had fried shallot. Salad had fried goat cheese. The five spice duck with Chinese pancakes were fried wontons basically and I wouldn't have ordered them if I had known that was going to be the case. Also in the expensive short rib pasta it wasn't even house made pasta, which feels cheap to me. Just boxed pasta which, like, eh. read more

I ordered the halibut special and it was flaky and moist. Really delicious although fish usually isn't go-to order. I was able to try the lomo saltado entree and that was more my speed, but I'm glad I tried the special! Service was attentive and fast. read more

Have dined at Pearl District many times over the years for special occasions or just a nice evening out. It's always consistently delivered in great customer service and quality food. Offers great drink options and also an extensive wine list (by the glass or bottle). Some of the standout dishes are the "pan roasted wild mushrooms", "braised short ribs", filet mignon & branzino. For dessert the "wonder bar" is a must! You''ll want to make reservations beforehand. read more

Beyond incredible food options. Service is super friendly. Execution is impeccable. This is the go to spot for a superb dining experience. read more

Best dinner in town IMO. Chef Richie updates the menu seasonally, but also creates amazing specials. Honestly, everything is so good here. Appetizers, Entrees, and especially the drinks. Dre is a master behind the bar, and always makes you feel like family if you get the chance to sit with her at the bar. I started off with the Roselle cocktail - it was a perfect balance of citrus, herbs, and sweetness. I highly recommend. I had the seared ahi tuna special with a yuzu sauce as my appetizer. It's definitely one of my favorite specials, so it's a must try if it's on the menu. I also had the Halibut special served with a kumquat sauce. The quality of fish is unbeatable! The Wagyu Skirt steak is a newer menu item, which I loved as well. Ambiance is cozy. Great for meeting friends, or making new ones at the bar! This place is a MUST if you're in town! read more

First off, I must tell you that with very little exception, I round my numbers when attributing stars while reviewing on Yelp. Numbers & grades are fuzzy things. Like how can my daughter have a 4.++ GPA? Mathematically there is nothing more than 100%. That said, we've waited all too long to try out Pearl District. Shouldn't have! Pearl District didn't disappoint us in any way. On every measure, Pearl District earned perfect marks!! So 5 these 5 Stars they've clearly earned them. Before I forget to mention, the wine list is well curated with reasonably priced options that truly sing with the dishes coming out so beautifully plated from the kitchen. Food? We three coursed it and shared the whole way through. Their lobster tempura was nothing short of unforgettable. We followed up with two shared entrees. Their 6 hour braised beef (divine) over cavatappi was melt in our mouths succulent and the pasta was like Spicoli inspired, (pardon the pun) ..."TOTALLY TUBULAR!" Then there was the Grilled Eye of the Ribeye cooked to perfection. With the Syrah-Green Peppercorn Demi Glace and the Potato Terrine, the only thing we regretted was not including a third entree with the Grilled Venison! All the way through, our bottle of pinot noir proved to be a perfect companion. So, ends up we were lucky to have not ordered that third entree. Because sharing the salted crème caramel with an espresso sealed the deal. Pearl District with everything said and with flawless service was all that ...5 STARS!! read more

Service and food were excellent. Looking forward to going back. We have recommended to friends and they have all been impressed.

This was my first time here and wow, what a gem in our neighborhood! Our server was Christopher who was delightful, knowledgeable and thoughtful! Our dishes and silverware were changed out promptly which I truly appreciate and he created such a wonderful experience for us! Christopher had suggested he bring out each dish slowly which was the perfect way to enjoy our meal. The wine offerings were great and we ordered what was recommended by the sommelier. First we had the bread which was piping hot served with a delicious herb dip. Although the menu was small, it was difficult to choose what to order. But I reckon that anything we ordered would have been excellent. We settled on the ahi crudo which was light and fresh and the filet tartare. Next we had the heart of romaine salad. By the time our main entree came, we were full! We had chosen the sea bass which was a special. Every dish was a culinary experience! Not only was everything tasty, the presentation was impressive. We look forward to returning. It is so nice to have such a creative restaurant near home that is truly unique. Thank you so much! read more

Another spectacular visit. This time we got Brittany we a server and got treated like first class from beginning to end I enjoyed the fact that she gave her recommendations and what we got for food was spectacular My wife got the ribeye, which was awesome and I ponyed up for the lamb and was delightfully surprised. Everything is top notch here which is why this is our special place and I encourage everyone to try something new when they come here! read more

Absolutely loved having dinner at Pearl District! From start to finish, everything was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was modern, and luxurious, and the bartenders couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can really tell they care about creating a great dining experience.

The steak tartare in particular was phenomenal and perfectly seasoned, fresh, and easily one of the best I've had anywhere. read more

A subdued and unpretentious atmosphere Grilled Octopus appetizer: A++. This was an absolutely delicious dish! The octopus was tender, the two sauces were mind-blowing, and the potatoes were crunchy and slightly smokey. It was well balanced and truly a delight for my palate.It's definitely large enough to be a meal. Heirloom Tomato Stack salad: A++. Looked like a fun party and tasted like it. I loved the mix of textures and the umami brought by the bacon. Grilled Scottish Salmon: A++. The salmon was perfectly cooked and thus very moist. And was paired nicely with Shanghai noodles. Another delicious dish! read more

I celebrated my father's retirement here! I made reservations for a party of 12 the week prior without any difficulty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very nice. Nice casual, elegant, but comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was amazing. He was vigilant, kept our whole party happy, and had great recommendations. We ordered almost every appetizer (fresh baked sourdough, braised short ribs, salt and pepper shrimp, lobster tempura, crispy shishito peppers, filet mignon tartare, oysters, and pan roasted wild mushrooms) and they came out promptly. It's hard to pick a favorite but the sourdough bread and the braised shortrib were outstanding (everything else was amazing too). It was hard to keep track of everyone's orders but a few highlights that were delicious: hearts of romaine salad, grilled prime 8oz filet mignon, and beef short rib sugo ragout. We ended with many desserts but my favorites were the duet of sorbet and their cobbler of the day (apple cinnamon). Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Best restaurant in Westlake. Service is great menu is great [[HIGHLIGHT]]beautiful bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] never had a bad dish or drink.

Wasn't sure about this place at first as the patio was empty when we arrived, but we quickly were taken care of by our server (Chuck) who made us feel at home. The food was incredible - especially the sliced raw tuna appetizer and the tomato stack. The dinners were tasty and they delivered large portions (we got the branzino and jidori chicken, both solid). Would recommend coming here for a special occasion. read more

I have been wanting to eat here for a long time. When my family asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday tonight, I said "Pearl District!" WOW! It was everything I imagined! There were five of us and some of the items aren't pictured below. We ordered a lot of food and shared it. The appetizer section is my favorite. We got the Braised Short Ribs, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Lobster Tempura, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Fried Chicken, Six Hour Braised Beef, and Spring Black Pepper Gnudi. Everything was magical. Our server was amazing, the food was amazing, and wow! The bread and rosemary butter was to die for! For dessert, we shared the Wonder Bar, Cobbler, and Salted Creme Caramel. The entire experience was simply wonderful. I will definitely be back! I would recommend getting a bunch of items and sharing so that you can experience a lot of the menu! Thank you for the fabulous food and top tier customer service! It's hard to receive both these days! read more

After many recommendations to try their food, I finally made it. And it was worth the wait. The food here was absolutely delicious. They have bread available on request - request it. You'll get a thick loaf of fresh-baked bread with that crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. The house made butter that comes with it is just the icing on the cake. The lobster tempura is the perfect appetizer to start with. It's positively stuffed with fresh fish, and the sauce is creamy and pulls the dish together. The sea bass was soft and moist with great flavor. Sea bass is my favorite fish, and this one is definitely at the top of my list. For dessert, the sweet chocolate bread pudding was the perfect ending, and the raspberry sauce really elevated it. Drinks here are also great. I wish I could remember the name - I believe it was called the Lovejoy. One of the smoothest tequila-based drinks I've had in quite a while. Absolutely delicious. The restaurant is super lively, and you can sit either at the bar or in the restaurant. Would be a fun place for either a date or to go as a party. Service is top notch - staff was super nice and knowledgeable. Pearl District is pricier, but I've been to restaurants that are at the same level with pricier food of lesser quality. So definitely worth it. read more

I'm sad I didn't take more photos. The lighting wasn't great for photos but it was perfect for a date night . I highly suggest making reservations and asking for wine recommendations during dinner.

*3.5!!! Service: Service was not the friendliest. Our server had a "rather be anywhere else" vibe. No smiling, just wanted our orders provided. Ambiance: lovely date night ambiance. Chairs are very uncomfortable but otherwise okay all around. Food: We started with the salt and pepper shrimp which set the bar high, all the flavors were just spot on. Would have happily had it as my entree! We ordered the heart of the Ribeye and the Sea bass. Sea bass sauce was very good, fish was good but could have been elevated with a nice crust, being served on top of soupy mashed potatoes didn't help provide additional texture. The ribeye was cooked right in terms of temperature but very chewy. Drinks and dessert: drinks were absolutely delicious. Bread pudding was probably one of the worst I've had. It tasted like undercooked chocolate cake, did not taste like bread pudding whatsoever. Overall, my date and I would possibly consider returning. Still on the fence....would have helped if we were offered bread and butter like everyone else.....looked delicious... read more

I have been here a few times now I meant to originally write a review for a server named Gina that I had one of my first times visiting here. I came back and she was my bartender after having been taken care of by her both times I can happily say it's some of the best service and food. I never question the food here and I'm now really excited to stop by knowing I'm going to have a fun time while enjoying an amazing meal if Gina's in charge . Make sure if you stop by here to ask for Gina to be a waiter or sit at the bar if she's tending it you won't regret it. Thank you for the lovely meals you'll be seeing me weekly from now on! read more
