• Contemporary American • Pearl City

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.

Server was very attentive without being intrusive. The steaks were the best we have had in Hawai'i. The fish was also very tasty. The garlic fries were 10/10 and the onion rings were also very good. The dessert was tasty and a pirtion big enough for five people. Highly recommended!

Really great hostess (Erika) kept making sure we were good and our food was ok. She kept our drinks filled and took really good care of us during my birthday celebration. From the beginning to the end, my family and I had a great time with the workers and food. Thank you to the all staff who made this day a very special celebration. God bless and thank you!
