Sandi and I received gift cards from Salt & Pearl for our birthdays. Since we had no plans for the 4th of July, as our friends already had previous engagements, this was a perfect day to make a reservation.
We chose to sit inside because it was a warm day. We wanted to be nice and cool, and we wanted our food to stay warm before we consumed it. We ordered the Fried Rhode Island Calamari, mae ploy, with wasabi slaw. The calamari was very well-seasoned and crispy, and the wasabi slaw was excellent—not too spicy.
For our entrée, we decided to eat healthy and order fish. Sandi ordered the Blackened Mahi-Mahi with black-eyed peas, charred leek succotash, and achiote crema. I chose the Seared Togarashi-Encrusted Albacore with crispy onion and pickled fresno in a pear ponzu sauce. They were both delicious. I was thrilled with mine as the fish melted in my mouth!
We also ordered the Beet Salad to go with our entrées. The salad had thyme, pistachios, preserved lemon crème fraiche, and medjool dates. We had to order something "unhealthy" to not shock our system, so the Garlic Parmesan Fries sounded perfect. Everything went well together.
We were too full to order dessert, so we even took home leftover fries. Our server, Forrest, was a lively lad who made our experience even more enjoyable.
Salt & Pearl is open every day for lunch and dinner except Mondays when it is only open for dinner. However, it does have Happy Hour, Monday through Friday, from 3PM to 5PM. We will definitely be back for lunch or happy hour.
Thank you, Amy, for our gift cards. We loved this restaurant.
Salt & Pearl is located at 1719 S. Catalina Ave in Redondo Beach, California.
