- DDeniseCleveland / Akron / Canton •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMarcella's is always a winner. A hiccup on this visit: Instead of grilled chicken with my salad, I received fried chicken, which I did not order. The wait staff took care of getting it replaced in a reasonable amount of time. The table behind us had quite the spirited diner. His laugh was loud and piercing throughout the entirety of our meal. A bit annoying but you can't choose your guests. We will definitely return because the service is always outstanding and the food amazing. Gianna, our waitress was outstanding!More infoMarcella'sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- MMMelanieMSt. Louis •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe Pearl Short-North will be one of our favorite Columbus destinations from this point forward. Starting with a vibrant neighborhood, the atmosphere inside was upbeat as well. The food was delicious, with the citrus salad being a particular high point. Our server, Jordan, was top-notch. She went above and beyond to take great care of us, including asking about our special dietary needs, and recommending perfect substitutions where needed. All in all, a fantastic experience that we'll look forward to repeating!More infoThe Pearl - Short NorthPrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Short North - Arena District•4.7
