Pearl has been comfortably tucked away on the northern end of the Monadnock Community Plaza in Peterborough, NH for more than 8 years now. Chef Harris is a graduate of Loyola University and the Culinary Institute of America where he developed a passion for Italian and French cooking.

After graduation, Harris took his skills to President Obama's favorite Chicago restaurant, Spiaggia, where he spent three years mastering the art of combining ingredients to produce bold, innovative flavors.Now, Harris and his young family have returned home and have brought a passion for food with them.
Any reservation can be made for any time with the understanding that due to the small nature of our restaurant and the inability to accurately predict length of stay, there could be a short wait at the door. Wait times are generally less than fifteen minutes. We have also found there is less chance of a wait if a reservation is made for before 6pm or after 8pm.

First time visiting tonight, last minute change in reservation when booked solid was handled with finesse . Excellent Service by a professional waitress , who served well thought out and prepared dishes. Ahi Tuna, Pablo Gluten free chicken as well as a noodle dish were all top shelf with no issues. Easy to get to right on 202 in Peterborough , will definitely return in the future!!

Pearl has been in my top 2 NH restaurants for many years. However in the past couple of months we are no longer able to get in. 2 times this month we have tried to make reservations by calling the day before and leaving a message. In both cases, we never got a call back. Calling the day of has been nearly impossible. I would say stop telling people you will call them for future day reservations if you are not going to call.

We love this place!!
Great vibe! Indoor and outdoor seating, it is on the smaller side but you don't feel cramped.
We are not from this area so we only get to come here once or twice a year when we visit family but we have NEVER had a bad meal here!
I would have posted photos but we ate everything so quickly!
We had dumplings, and fresh raw oysters to start there was a choice between several types of oysters and they were shucked right in front of us as we sat at the bar. We had the lemongrass chicken for dinner which was the most delicious thing I had eaten in a long time! We then had creme

I can't wait to go back! The food is incredible and is very reasonably priced considering just how good it is. I appreciate that they allow their waitstaff to wear whatever they are comfortable wearing. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when waitstaff are required to wear masks like I'm some special class citizen allowed to sit down and eat and breathe comfortably while they are just my servant.
Those who wanted the vaccine have had plenty of opportunity to get one, it's not for everyone! I can't believe some out-of-towner had posted a complaint about this, you're literally in the "Live Free

We love the Pearl, but lately the customer service has been really poor. I understand restaurants are struggling to find help, but there is always a wait, not clear communication regarding gift card balances and very hard to get through via phone. We had this experience a month ago and figured they were having an off night, but tonight, the same thing happened as last time. Which is too bad, because it’s a great restaurant!

Fast and friendly service, went there on a Monday night and it was packed and a bit loud. The haddock was to die for, and the chicken potstickers were really good as well. They have an excellent variety of oysters and other seafood! I highly recommend this restaurant.

I was surprised to find ramen on the menu, and doubly surprised that it was so incredibly good! The duck confit in lettuce wraps was phenomenal. All the flavors were excellent. But nothing best the salty sweet taste of the Canadian oysters I had for dessert. Hubby had the scallops, and the ski ahi tuna appetizer.

We made a supper out of appetizers and were not disappointed! The crispy oysters were perfect for me and the raw selection delighted my companions! Can't wait for another date night to go back! (If you get the chance to eat outside, take it! Tonight we had a lovely breeze and it is a little easier to hear outside.) The Virgin mojito was also greatly appreciated and enjoyed!!!

Great food and service. One of the best in Peterborough if not the best. A bit crowded and loud inside. I like to sit outside in the summer. Wish they would change up the menu, it has been the same for a long time. Would love to see more vegetarian options. The bartender is great and makes a fantastic cocktail!
