    15 dollars for 3 little oysters is a bit steep of a price.

    You can’t beat the Pearl at happy hour! Lots to choose from and one of the best margaritas in town. Our burgers were a little overcooked but still delicious (and half price). Service was friendly and prompt as usual. We will be back!

    Have been going here for years but have been disappointed by quality of food going down and prices going up. The side of bacon was no better than discount bacon, very thin and stringy. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was tough and had a 1/2 in layer of fat along the top skin and the syrup was very watery. We agreed it is time to find another brunch spot.

    Food is good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. I would like to see some more options also.

    Service was quite good. The food was ok but not especially memorable. I had the breakfast Benny. I didn’t find it particularly flavorful. The biscuit it was served in was dry and hard, lacking flavor. The sausage was way undercooked and the sausage gravy was sparse. I wouldn’t order it again. My wife ordered the beet salad and was expecting it to be on a bed of lettuce/greens but it was basically an assortment of beets. She indicated it was tasty. Our guests had the chicken and waffles, and the grilled cheese. They were complimentary of everything except the waffles, which were dry and flavorless. All in all, not a very memorable or positive experience.

    This has to be one of the finest dining experiences in the Columbus Ohio area. The food was excellent in every way. The chef’s use of texture and deep blended, complementary flavours is Second to no one! The Pearl - Short North confirms Columbus Ohio’s sophistication in dining .

    The ambiance was energetic and welcoming. The service was fantastic. We had some oysters along with the fish and chips, scallops and short rib, topped off with the brown sugar pie. The restrooms were clean and our server was awesome.
