Amazing experience at Blue Pearl today ! The drinks were not only stunning to the eye but tasted even better. Everything from the apps to our main courses were some of the best executed plates in the entire City.

We had the chance to try Staten Island’s newest waterfront dining experience, Blue Pearl Restaurant, at the Navy Pier on the North Shore. The service, food, and ambience were excellent.

We recently visited Blue Pearl and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly attentive — they even cleaned and opened the outdoor area just for us, making us feel truly welcome.

Special shout-out to Nina, the bartender, who made our visit even more enjoyable with her friendly attitude and excellent service.

Rare as a pearl to find. This one is definitely a precious stone! When you enter the place, you’d definitely know that you’re into something special. Quiet, cozy, and luxurious is everyway! But don’t forget, the food! Prepared to perfection. A bit pricey though, but worth every dollar spent. Try the crab cakes, for me that one speaks volumes. You won’t forget what that first bite entails.

Make this your next date night, girls night etc!!

From the food, to the views, to the impeccable service and attention to detail, this is the kind of restaurant Staten Island needed! They truly think of everything here, such as the fresh fruit to add to your water, and the hook they place on the table to hold your to-go bag. See pics for the beautiful food and presentation! safe to say we will be back!!

If I can leave 10 stars for service, I would! Had a great first dining experience at Blue pearl with my friend and my 3 month old baby. Initially we had reservations at 5 but they don’t allow kids after 5 (which I totally respect). The manager was so accommodating and made sure we could come at 4:30 and stay as long as we wanted. We never felt rushed. Our Portuguese waiter (unfortunately didn’t catch his name), was charming!

The food was super yummy! We had the lobster and shrimp roll, the mushroom crispy rice, and fatty tuna crudo for starters and the general tso and crab cakes for mains! My friend had some lovely martinis and I had wine.

10s, 10s, 10s across the board! The atmosphere and aesthetic of the Blue Pearl nearly took my breath away, the restaurant is gorgeous! Staff was extremely attentive and helpful with the menu. Started with a “black magic” a variation of an espresso martini, which was perfect. Apps were king salmon sushi roll and crispy rice with teriyaki pineapple shrimp. Also had the street corn lobster rolls, which were inhaled and delicious. Second drink was an insane “mother of pearl”, which had a gold shimmered lychee on top. So good! Entree was general tso’s truffle chicken with wasabi whipped potatoes on the side, Wow!!!! Could not stop eating this dish! Finished everything off with the taro crepe cake which was equally as divine. Cannot wait to go back to the blue pearl! Highly recommend!

I had been looking forward to dining here for nearly a year—and it absolutely exceeded expectations. From the initial reservation call to the warm welcome at the door, the service was outstanding.

The ambiance is elegant with a modern, aquatic-inspired design that really stands out. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and attentive, and the entire staff made us feel well taken care of.

The food was exceptional. Highlights included fresh bread with accompaniments, a flavorful lamb chops dish, and perfectly prepared seafood entrées. Cocktails were equally impressive, and the desserts—especially the chocolate cake and pistachio cannoli—were the perfect ending.

An unforgettable dining experience—I’ll definitely be back!

I just had my engagement dinner at The Blue Pearl, and I truly wish the night never ended. If you are ever considering the best venue in New York, I highly recommend their 2nd floor loft—elegance is honestly an understatement.

From the moment you walk in, the staff and management treat you as if you own the place. They are attentive, receptive, and genuinely happy to make your evening perfect. If I had my own business, I would be proud to have a team like theirs.

To the staff, the chef, the entire team, and the owners—THANK YOU. You made my fiancée’s and my night more than perfect. We feel very lucky to have celebrated such an important milestone with you, and we look forward to many more events at The Blue Pearl.

My wife and I tried Blue Pearl for our anniversary dinner and could not have enjoyed it more. Food wise, we sampled as much as we could, starting with the crab cake and the mini lobster bisque rolls with some cocktails. For our mains, we had the crab cavatelli and the halibut while sharing a side of the mille feuille potatoes. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée trio and spicy pineapple sundae. Everything was delicious - a nice balance of Asian-inspired and traditional American flavors. Service was impeccable as well - we were treated so warmly by the entire staff, received everything quickly and efficiently, and even received complimentary champagne to celebrate the occasion. The atmosphere was fantastic - bright, upscale decor with a great view of the coastline and bridge/river. Overall, a wonderful experience and great new addition from Chef Peter Botros.

I went to Bluepearl over the weekend celebrating my friends birthday. We had such an amazing experience! The food was innovative (with unique dishes like Truffle Tso Chicken), fresh and delicious. We had the yellowtail roll, chili edamame, octopus, truffle tso chicken and the miso mushrooms. The manager, John, was extremely attentive to his guests and the feedback they have. This was a “slow” dining experience in that the food is served with plenty of time in between courses and you aren’t rushed out. We thoroughly enjoyed and will be back. Thanks!
