CK Pearl

Named for the two eldest daughters of owner Patrick Shea, CK Pearl is a family-owned restaurant right on the Essex River with a genuine sense of place.

Chef Shea grew up just down the road and has come full circle. From washing dishes nearby as a kid to running one of the North Shore’s most acclaimed dining rooms.

The kitchen turns out a unique take on New England fare with seasonally inspired menus, daily chalkboard specials, handcrafted cocktails, and housemade desserts.
