Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pearly Queen is a seafood lover's paradise with "outstanding" fish dishes and "exceptional" service. The "sublime" buffalo oysters and innovative flavors make it a must-visit. While some found the atmosphere lively and service occasionally slow, the restaurant consistently impresses with its "beautifully presented" food and attentive staff.

    Tom Brown knows seafood. Pearly Queen is extraordinary—every single thing I put in my mouth was sublime. My sole critique is the tasting menu, at 45 poinds per person, seems reasonable at first glance until you realize its not enough food, and leave still hungry.

    Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Stand outs include the deep fried oyster and crab bun but everything was very good indeed. Chose wine at the cheaper end of the range and both red and white were excellent. Service great and we are already looking forward to returning soon.

    First time at Pearly Queen having been to Cornerstone a few years ago. Had high expectations after Cornerstone and our expectations were exceeded. Incredibly high quality of food and really attentive service from everyone who looked after us. We loved every single course and dish that we had. Possible the best ever clam dish that I’ve ever had ! Thank you team Pearly Queen for a fantastic lunch and afternoon.

    Love our experience here! Service was brilliant, we had an overall 3 servers approach our table which supplied us with explanations of dishes as well as a great casual conversation. One of our dishes was unfortunately under cooked however when this happened we were provided with a fresh dish as well as fresh sides, on top of this we’re given a refresh of our wine, this made us very happy. We left so full and pleased, we will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend for any new future guests!! Shout out to Luca and Davide as well!

    A truly special evening. Cornerstone was one of my favourite meals in London a couple of years ago and with Pearly Queen, Tom Brown has done it again. Good value, incredibly well cooked and well balanced dishes. For seafood, it can’t be beat. The service was friendly and helpful and the place is lovely. Have been raving about it ever since.
