I invited my good friend, 2010 InfluenceSD's Blog of the Year winner Junvi, one beautiful Monday evening at the end of March. I was excited to share the delicious culinary experience with Junvi since she has never been here before. We arrived promptly at 6:30 PM and took a small peek of the menu since copies were located on the host stand.
In January, the sliding doors / wall to the pool area was closed because of the cold air. This evening, the doors were wide open because it had been a warm day. Thomas sat us right in front of the bar, closest to the host stand. Our server greeted us and explained that they were trying out new items for Bistro Monday. I looked at the online menu earlier (of course) and decided on the duck confit, so I was happy that it was still on the revised menu. Score!
The menu on Bistro Mondays at The Pearl consists of mouth-watering French-American entrees that you can order a la carte, or a three-course prix fixe meal ("three-fixe") for $25. The regular menu is not available on Mondays, however that's what makes Bistro Mondays so special!
Junvi, being a vegetarian, was quite pleased that they had a vegetarian option and that the kitchen accommodated her request for no meat on her appetizer.
I started off with the "Soup du Jour", which was a tomato bisque with chives and a hint of butter. Oh, was it heavenly. The creaminess of the soup warmed my throat and my taste buds were going crazy. I absolutely love a good bowl of tomato soup -- the only thing missing was the grilled cheese sandwich. Wait... there was one!

Thank you, Greg, for another FABULOUS experience at The Pearl. I will surely be back for a number of delicious entrees (Meyer Ranch short rib & flat iron steak) , including Chef Spencer's "Best Burger in Town" as part of my quest to find the best burger in San Diego.

Awesome post! Now I want to go back again! The bistro Monday is a great deal at The Pearl.
Thanks, Jen! I'm loving The Pearl. Saw that they changed their regular menu. I will miss the short ribs, but am excited to try their new entrees!
