    Service was good as per usual for Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. Food was less than great. Clams were undercooked and tasted “off”. Replaced with oysters that were OK. Chicken sandwich was dry and the short rib was lacking of flavor and mostly fat.

    We really enjoyed the brunch at The Pearl. We started with drinks and oysters. The oysters both on the half shell and New Orleans style were excellent. We recommend asking the server for suggestions on which oysters to try and for more bread to dip in the very tasty New Orleans sauce. For the main course, we ordered fish and chips and shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding. The only thing we would have liked was a little lower music setting. We will be back again to enjoy the wonderful brunch experience!

    The 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!

    There is good and not good for Pearl. Good is food. the value for the food. Is ok. The not good is the service. One: in hospitality you can only say no for an impossible. When the guest asks tequila to be replaced with mezcal in a cocktail there can not be a ‘no’ because the mix has ben prepared earlier and can not be prepared individually. The mix is btw, jalepano lemongrass, amor and ginger!!! Nothing special. You can not sacrifice service for ‘efficiency’. Two: never ever bring the starters and the main at the same exact moment. Was it an enjoyable dinner, yes. Would i go again? I doubt it.

    While the food was great, the experience was not what we were expecting from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. The tables were so close together that we felt like we were sitting with our neighbors and our chairs were almost touching. The entree came out before our salad and we were asked about our dessert before we were even half way through our entree. They were clearly rushing us so that they could get to the next table. My wife’s birthday dinner was subpar because of the poor experience. It should have been better.

    We came in for a team dinner, and everything was exceptional! The oysters, spoon bread, and tots were the perfect opening numbers. If you haven't had the hanger steak, you're missing out! Will was a top-notch server, taking wonderful care of our group the entire night. Huge thank you to Kelli for the accommodations and Will for the incredible evening. We loved The Pearl being a part of our Columbus experience! We will be back!
