As a manager’s outing we went as a group and tried the new restaurant Pearl on the River. I had high expectations due to the restaurant that was there before named The Blue Gecko, which I really enjoyed! So if you’re replacing a good restaurant I’d hoped they’d do as good of a job or better. I’d say The Pearl on the River, a 5 minute drive from us Hilton Garden Inn, did a good job filling in the shoes of the Blue Gecko.
There were 8 of us and out of the 8 of us we tried 5 different meals from the menu. Everyone said their meals were good and all of the presentations were visually pleasing. Next we sampled the dessert. Although the choice to have desert was a tough one due to everyone being full (and several others being on diets… we all know how THAT goes ha-ha) the temptation eventually won out and we ordered 3 desserts that we all shared. The desserts were also very scrumptious and although we felt guilty for having them we all had excuses why we did! So you know they had to be good. Lol! So the next time you are in Sacramento and want a nice restaurant to enjoy a good meal I would recommend The Pearl on the River with a view of the American River!
