This restaurant is one of the mandatory stop in every trips in New York. Yes, you have to wait to get a table. But then when you get it or you sit at the bar the show starts: delicious oysters, new england soup (never, never skip this) lobster (grilled, boiled or roll are all great) and it's already time to...

Great little place recommended by a friend. Had the fried oysters, crispy shrimp and shared a lobster roll. The lobster roll at $30 is pricey but well worth it. There is loads of lobster packed in and the whole thing just melts in your mouth. A definite highlight of our trip.

Opens for dinner at 6pm ... there were 8 people lined up on the sidewalk waiting to get in when we arrived just before 6pm ... this was not the case for any of the other surrounding restaurants. We went based the recommendation of a friend who lives in the city and is a regular at Pearl. Pearl is known... More

great little spot! Very popular with locals with good reason. It is a very little place so get there nice and early to make sure you dont have to wait. The seating can be a little tight, so not really great for those who dont like eating close to others. Make sure you bring your apeptite! We ordered some jumbo... More

My client took me to lunch here and insisted I needed to have the lobster roll. In fact, I think he would have disowned me if I didn't. It did not disappoint. I'm glad I listened to him. This is a very cute lunch stop on a very picturesque street of the West Village. Tiny place, so you have to... More

I really enjoyed the clam chowder, lobster roll, and fried oysters! Waiter was great and courteous. Tables are pretty close together to other patrons so just know beforehand you will be moving in tight spaces. Will definitely be back to try more.

We went to Pearl on a windy and cold November evening. As it was late we only had 5 min wait which was great. The place is very small but has a cozy atmosphere and what I call "good vibes". Food was outstanding, we had the best lobster roll ever and a memorable New England-style clam chowder. Of course is... More

For years, my husband and I made a semi-regular pilgrimmage to Pearl Oyster Bar. We willingly stood on line outside in the chill of winter as well as in the sweltering summer heat because the lobster roll was worth it. It was truly a transporting experience. "Was" being the operative word here. Several days ago, we trekked to the VIllage... More
