Pearl - Petaluma (CA)

5 /5 Cliff Lim: Stumbled here during a random Petaluma visit and I was blown away. Rich flavors, thoughtful menu and beverages, friendly service, dog-friendly patio. Everything we had was on point (Meatball Tagine, Sampler Plate, Shakshuka, Cardamom Pistachio Blondie). Wiped out the blondie so fast I didnt snap a pic. Id probably drop by weekly if I lived in Petaluma.

5 /5 Avant Lard Travel - by Houston Porter: This is one of our favorite restaurants in the North Bay and may be the best restaurant in Petaluma. The food is always excellent, as is the service. Additionally, their drinks are amazing, including quite a few coffee drinks unlike anywhere else in town. (We love that Annette (co-owner) usually has txakolina (a Basque white wine) on the menu, as well as several top quality draft beers.) And although they arent open for dinner, they do hold special dinners from time to time and chef Brian (co-owner) always does a bang up job with regards to quality and creativity. Standout dishes for us include the Cassoulet, brisket, meatballs, picnic plates, bocadillo, and braised lamb, but honestly, you can order anything on the menu and it will be great. It should be noted that this is one of the rare restaurants where the price on the menu is the price youll pay. There is no tipping required because its included in the price, and really, they actually discourage adding anything else to the bill.

5 /5 Caitlin G.: We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small). I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread. I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.

4 /5 Sai He: Good food, although it took a long time to get to us. Wonderful selection of coffee drinks. Love that menu prices are inclusive of tip + fees! Solid brunch spot.

5 /5 Jerry Young: Came back in May 2025. Continues to be outstanding executed food flavor profile is rich taste in depth, but not heavy and healthy. Wine pairing is fantastic. The desserts are to die for. everything on the menu is fantastic so I’m not gonna highlight anything. I will say that I love the service is included in the prices as well, so it makes it easy. And the prices are very reasonable for the quality and the service. Sitting outside on a warm day in Petaluma is paradise. The restaurant faces north, which is perfect on a warm day in Petaluma., Lovely restaurant with wonderful staff. Owner is a delight. Food is excellent.
