- LLillianvipColumbus •61 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA group of nine older adults came in for Happy Hour. We were welcomed, seated, and expertly served by 'Ria. She made us feel that she was happy that we were there and that it was her pleasure to serve us. She accurately remembered all our orders, offered us seconds, brought extra bread and was very attentive. She called our attention to the added tip but we were all happy to tip more, so outstanding was her service. The food was excellent, abundant and a real bargain. The noise level was quieter than most CM restaurants which was wonderful as we could actually hear the conversation, one to another. We will definitely come back! !More infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8

- TTravisColumbus •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 4, 2024First time at The Pearl - Short North for Happy Hour. The Chicken Wing Confit was the star of the show this night - expertly seasoned and fried to perfection. The Gochujang buffalo sauce served on the side was a nice complement to the wings. We also had friend pickles, jalapeño spoon bread, and two cocktails - all were great. The service was on point - attentive and personable. Overall, a pleasant experience.More infoThe Pearl - Short NorthPrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Short North - Arena District•4.7
