Blue Pearl - Staten Island (NY)

3 /5 Norb S: We came here for Sunday brunch at noon. Although we had a reservation, the restaurant wasn’t very busy. We were greeted promptly by the hostess, and the atmosphere was modern and nicely updated. Our waiter was attentive, and the rest of the staff also made sure we were well taken care of. The food arrived fairly quickly, and while the quality was good, nothing really stood out as exceptional in terms of flavor. Portion sizes were generally ok. Prices, however, felt higher than expected for both the setting and the dishes we ordered. The crab Benedict, for example, had a very small crab cake—essentially one patty split between two eggs. The tuna was cooked properly and had good flavor, and the teriyaki salmon was also quite good. We ordered a few drinks, which were just okay. Like many places, they add a surcharge for non-cash payments, but they also suggest tips based on the total after tax and fees, which feels a bit out of place for a restaurant aiming for an upscale experience. Overall, the food was good and service attentive, but the value didn’t quite match the high prices.

5 /5 Samantha Buono: To say blue pearl is amazing is an absolute understatement! My husband & I just had our wedding there & we couldn’t have chosen a better venue. From the ambience, to the view of the city, to the drinks, the food & the service and staff, we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY!!! Everything was pure perfection. The drinks were delicious and the food was just outstanding. We were beyond impressed by the service and staff, especially Alex who took care of us all night!! And a big thank you to Nastacha who helped plan this event and helped make it so wonderful! She was so easy to get in touch with and just an absolute pleasure to work with!! We truly can’t thank Blue Pearl enough for making our wedding so special. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about it and neither can we! Thank you blue pearl!!!

2 /5 Oh Doyle: Blue Pearl is a gorgeous restaurant; that is perhaps where the pleasantries end. I was tremendously disappointed with the food; raw bar items were good, apps, mains, and dessert, were incredibly bland and completely devoid of taste. Service was neither good nor commensurate to the price-point. Check this place out, hopefully you will have a better experience than I did.

5 /5 Victoria Gagliotto: I have been dining at Chef Peter Botros restaurants for years! Blue Pearl was absolutely exquisite. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful, the staff was very welcoming and friendly, and the food was spectacular! Our waiter was Manny and he really provided such a lovely service! We started out with the oysters and shrimp cocktail, the octopus, and the New England chilled lobster rolls. Our entrees were the Angry Ramen and crab Cavatelli. Everything was perfection and we had a great time!!

5 /5 Vladislava Kursheva: Glad to know that my favorite area in Staten Island got the perfect seafood restaurant. The service we received was outstanding, beyond professional and welcoming, and cozy at the same time. I, personally was happy to discover the availability of Kumamoto oysters. Which I always struggle to find even in the City. All over, we had amazing experiences and truly tasty and fresh dining. Every dish has a harmony of notes and smells. Everything was freshly cooked and tasted great. The price is fully understandable and reasonable. So, if you have a special celebration or are just up for a delicious food experience - that’s the place!
