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.

    Rachel was an amazing server. She was friendly and attentive… and from our home state of Washington! The musician also did a fabulous job! We enjoyed all of the music he played. Finally… we came during happy hour and loved the HH prices as well as the food… pork pizza, wings and of course the mai tais!

    This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.

    The breakfast buffet was excellent - super high quality with extensive fresh ingredients. The service, as always at any Four Seasons, was friendly and near perfect. The view and Hawaiian trade breezes made for the most picturesquely relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.
