Editorial Review for Pearl – by James Zeleniak
In Short
Hard to believe this is the same locale where greasy spoon Little Pete's slung burgers and so-so coffee for so many years. A glam redo has wiped the slate clean with a sleek and contemporary pulse that sports Asian flair and modern sensibilities. Peal's menu retains a luster of originality with influences running the global culinary spectra--from Vietnamese pho to Peking duck to crisp tempura to a stepped-up rendition of classic Filet Mignon. Fortuitously ubiquitous tasty modern classics such as pot stickers, yellowtail sashimi and tuna tartare also make the scene. An upstairs lounge sets the perfect stage for those looking to let loose in more clubby environs.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasThose riding with a full posse and in need of private environs should call ahead and let Pearl reserve a secluded spot.
Know Before You GoThree bars keep a clubby pulse in motion while DJs spin upstairs, diners downstairs sup on dim sum-like edibles, swapping out Ketle One cocktails for green tea.

Shut this place down! Worst bar on the East Coast. Do not go there! Management: Terrible (they had no comments) Security: Terrible Staff: Terrible Food: Terrible Prices: Terrible (trying too hard to be something they are not) Bartenders: Terrible (and ugly) (and dont know how to make drinks) Decor: Terrible (and again, trying too hard to be something they are not) If you see a line in front, its not because they are popular or overcrowded, it's because they are (one more time) Terrible and trying too hard to be something they are not!!!! I'm counting the days till this place shuts down and something else opens that's not soo embarrassing to the city of Philadelphia! -Terrible!

All I can say is Philly is not New York so stop trying to be! The service was beyond horrible. The bartender Lisa was phony and was wacked on some serious street medications . She was slurring and drooling and stumbling behind the bar . The food was some bad asian fusion not high end it was just like hot pockets.What a bad night period!
Pros: great if you love hot pockets
Cons: i HATE HOT POCKETS
