    Good service. Food was good but maybe a bit overpriced. Ordered an entree of salad that was very small for the price. (Aren’t entrees supposed to fill you up?) Noise level was incredibly loud due to the music playing overhead. A place I’d go to on occasion.

    There is no finer happy hour in Columbus than the Pearl. Not only are the prices lower , but the selection and the quality of the food and drinks are excellent. Oh, and you can make reservations for happy hour and you do NOT need to eat in the bar.

    Probably my favorite restaurant in the Short North. Whenever my parents are in town I take them here. Eric was our server and he was the best. We ordered : -Jalapeño corn bread and N’Awlins oysters for appetizers. -Braised short rib, Hanger steak for entrees -Got 3 different of the rotating fresh pies I recommend all of them. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

    I was visiting Columbus for the weekend and was recommended to try the Pearl. I wish I would have tried some place else! The service was horrendous. Our reservations was at 11:30 and our waitress did not take our food order until 12:05 PM. She would continue to walk around our table and never checked in with us. After she brought the food, she asked if we needed anything. We said we would like some condiments with our meal. Those never came. The good was decent but did not outweigh our poor experience.

    We had a time mix up and were going to be about 15 minutes late for our reservation. We called ahead and they were accommodating of our late arrival. The service was exceptional from Jordan and the food was equally as great. My wife commented that they do a great job pacing dinner. We had the Chicken Wings Confit, jalapeño corn spoon bread, harbor salad, and braised short rib. The braised short rib was probably the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a long time. For desert we had the sugar and brown butter pie I believe it was called with a scoop of ice cream. It was delicious. We will be back because after 2 visits there’s still many things we want to try on the menu!

    We had a lovely time and as always the punch bowls are always a favorite. Would love to see the Rosè punch ball and bourbon bowl return it’s our favorites. Servers are always a delight and knowledgeable. Handling 6 plus is a challenge but, our server was a delight to have and we shall return again.

    There are not enough positive words in my vocabulary to accurately describe the mouthwatering deliciousness of every single thing we ordered from the deviled eggs to the clam chowder to the grilled cheese to the kimchi fried rice to the blueberry pie and everything in between. Did I mention the oysters? Holy cow! They were humongous, delightful, and beautifully presented. My NY family was impressed and that's hard to do! We will definitely be back. Cameron Mitchell knows what he's doing; that's for sure!

    Sunday Funday Brunch at The Pearl was a success! The Pearl is my fav spot in Columbus, although I love the Dublin location, downtown was a nice switch up too. Our server Casey was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious per usual. I always order the parm baked clams. Usually get the Bourbon Bacon Beautiful but I tried the espresso martini and wow, that’s my new go to for brunch. We also had a lovely couple next to us that surprised us with a Mimosa kit!!

    I placed a reservation at The Pearl and didn't know what to expect. It was the first time I had ever been there. I was quickly seated, and a waiter quickly took my order. He was helpful with my questions and very nice. The food was brought out in a lovely presentation (I had the N'awlins baked oysters). The waiter repeatedly came back and checked on me. And the atmosphere was very nice!
