    Food, drinks, and service were excellent as always. Between the 3 of us, we had oysters, chicken & waffles, loaded bloody Mary’s, Paloma, and the Benedict. Thank you for another great experience!

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent, but the dining room was cramped and loud. If you are looking for an intimate dinner, go elsewhere.

    The server was good but the food just hasn’t been up to par the last few visits, breakfast waffles and biscuits were super dry and we don’t eat pork and the kitchen kept adding that to the dish .

    The restaurant was pretty empty, only a few tables were seated when we arrived. Lots of open space. They sat us on top of 2 other tables. My back was touching my neighbor and I could hear their entire conversation. I would have preferred to sit further away since there were so many open spots including more private booths. A little disappointing. Food was good as usual. Service was a little slow. Had to flag down the waiter to take our order after we ordered apps. Donuts took forever.

    We have always enjoyed The Pearl but we both agreed that this experience has diminished. Not sure if it’s because we are more use to Bridgepark vs Short North now. We arrived and were taken to the very last table, in the back of the building. Honestly, all other patrons were near the front or mid but in our section there was us and 9 open tables. The recent menu changes were less than appealing compared to the previous menu. The food was ok. It was good, not as great as it has been. The one area that remains spectacular is the service. My wife did like her glass of wine but my old fashion was not quite right. It was nearly clear and tasted like flavored water. Not sure what was off but it was. All in all, the value that we have come to expect was not there. Never have felt this way after other Pearl experiences. But want to thank staff for the great service!

    Each year, when we visit Columbus, dinner at The Pearl is a MUST. Crafted cocktails are delicious, and there’s a selection of fresh oysters you must try.

    Incredible, and I mean incredible Hanger Steak, eaten with a Tempranillo. Truly of the best meals I’ve ever had.
