The setting is a cosy, bistro atmosphere with booth, table, or barstool seating - tends to get noisy as it gets full, but all very pleasant. The outside tables in summer would be great people watching spots. The service from both the server and manager was friendly and prompt. The braised short ribs were fall-off-the bone delicious with a deep,... More

Pearl Urban Bistro is a welcome oasis in White Rock's strip of pubs and fish and chips places. We had a wonderful, relaxed lunch on a foggy winter day. The open-face salmon sandwich was perfectly cooked with nice-sized piece of fish resting on a bun with pickled cabbage, accompanied by hand-cut fries. I've had salmon sandwiches in several places on... More

My first requirement for a restaurant is ambience and the Pearl has it. BUT, The last 2 times I've brought important guests to this restaurant, I've been embarrrassed. We ordered several items and only a couple were good. Salad had no taste from the dressing, chai brûlée should have not have been served to public, galette was all pastry with... More

Very rainy evnIng so they let us park in the back and enter through the kitchen. The messiness of the kitchen was a bit off putting. We were celebrating an anniversary so wanted something special. Burgers and a Mac & Cheese on the dinner menus did not feel special. I had the ribs, my husband had the seared salmon. For... More

This at one time was a very romantic restaurant with white table cloths and set up as a romantic place to take your significant other.

First visit and loved it. On the boardwalk in beautiful White Rock BC. Great selection of unique appies, superior wine list and scotch galore!

My husband and I went there for a second time. We first went when the restaurant was fairly new and we had an "ok" dinner. This time the dinner, I thought, was very good. My husband wasn't very impressed. The appetizers were delicious. We shared the salt and pepper chips, and the baked brie. Both were very tasty. I had... More

Absolutely abysmal service. 4 wait staff on duty last night, with only 3 tables occupied in the restaurant and it took 25 minutes to get our drinks, 45 minutes to get appetizers. We were at the restaurant for 2.5 hours because the service WAS SO SLOW. The staff were very friendly, but just not aware of how irritated their customers... More

heard it was good and went in august of 2012. four of us. burger was good. halibut good but no veggies included. my linguine with lamb was dismal--extremely small portion, bland tasting. very disappointing. new owners? new chef? no way people would highly recommend what we experienced. you can do alot better.
