Nestled on the shores of Pearl Harbor, The Pearl Restaurant at Leeward Community College is a student operated establishment with a passion for serving our guests an amazing contemporary, fine dining experience. The heartbeat of our operation revolves around our students, being able to showcase their creative culinary artistry and talents, along with providing the warmth of genuine hospitality. While it may seem like we are a normal restaurant, The Pearl is primarily a place of learning for our culinary students. Their education is our priority and we do our best, with limited resources, to provide an excellent dining experience for our guests. During a pandemic it is difficult to operate at maximum efficiency and capacity. We have very limited seating, and we need extra time to carefully prepare our kitchen and dining area for your safety. We appreciate your understanding as we try to manage our reservations and adhere to our safety requirements and guidelines.
