   It was my third time here and very happy to see the continual improvement since they’ve had their soft opening a month ago. The skirt steak is still solid, drinks still on point, and tried their new scallop dish, which definitely will become a favorite in my rotation.

   Very cold temperature inside restaurant; needed a heavy jacket to be comfortable.. Service was amateur ish. Food was ok but not extraordinary compared to the prices. House wine was a 4oz pour for $17. The ‘Post Malone’ cocktail was delicious.

   I was extremely excited to try this new spot at the Anaheim packing house based off of reviews I saw on Instagram, however I ordered the crab truffle linguine, and there were clearly no truffles on my dish based off of the videos I’ve seen on Instagram that have truffle clearly on the pasta there was no truffle on my pasta. I will provide photos attached. I don’t think it was worth the price and was disappointed with my dish

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear you were disappointed, that's never the experience we want for our guests. I wanted to let you know that we do in fact use real black summer truffles for our crab truffle linguine. Black summer truffles have a lighter interior compared to winter truffles, which can sometimes look a little different than what people expect based on videos or photos. I would truly love the opportunity to invite you back for another dish, on me, and personally show you the truffles we use. We really appreciate you giving us a try, and I hope we’ll have the chance to turn your experience around.

   This was my second visit to The Wooden Pearl. I went with a bunch of educator friends to celebrate some birthdays and a long weekend ahead, and this was a perfect place to celebrate. The cocktails are out of this world! The food is delicious. Justin was our server, and he was attentive, knowledgeable, and fun! I can’t wait to return to this adorable gem. The one thing that they could maybe work on is the super loud music. Maybe more ambient music that is a little less loud.

   My husband & I were so pleased with the food and cocktails here ! Location is a little off for the scale of food and cocktails, its on bottom floor of The Packing House in Anaheim. But once inside its funky and ecklctic . Small but fun. My husband had the best flank steak he has had in a very long time, so much so that we went back w/in a week. Every cocktail was unique and amazing. On our 2nd visit I had the best pork chop I've ever had. We can't wait to go back !

   Scallops were rubbery and smelled not fresh. Chilean sea bass was fishy smelling and had no flavor. Texture of the sea bass was not great. I think the cut was not the freshest and undercooked. Josh was a great server and was enjoyable. Wish the food kept up with the quality of service!

    I went to an impromptu birthday. Dinner was amazing. The restaurant you get lost in there I forget that you're in the Anaheim district
