The Pearl - Columbus

Great food and service! When you need seafood, you need to see the food at The Pearl! Oysters were great! The Braised Short Ribs is a MUST! (No pic b/c I went right for them) Even appetizers were on point!

Overall, the food was great and we really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server was knowledgeable and nice, but due to it being so busy, she seemed super rushed with us and didn'tchrckup as often as we would have liked. We planned on getting another drink and dessert, but we were not given the opportunity.

Visiting Columbus only for an overnight. I’d admired their groovy awning and old-school typography the previous evening— and thought, “yup this is the place.” And, luckily the next morning we found a parking spot and slid into The Pearl. Perfect poached eggs and great hash. Sorry no food shots, trust me, three of us left completely satisfied. Except for the coffee. Maybe everyone was having ****. Service friendly and efficient. Also, the typewriter topped it off.

Great experience tonight dining at The Pearl. My manager was in town so I decided to let him experience The Pearl. We ordered a couple of drinks and a couple of half price appetizers. The bacon wrapped dates and the jalapeño bread was so good. Highly recommend. We both got the fish and chips and we were both pleasantly surprised at the portions, and we both enjoyed this dish. Our server was spot on! He was just present enough. We really enjoyed the evening.

This has to be a new favorite for me I 'm so surprised it 's taken me so long to check it out because I 've heard such great things. I was walking around high street on one of our warm recent days to look for a fun new spot for happy hour that had a patio or open air seating. As any Columbusites know, warm sunny weather plus happy hour in the Short North BUSY. As I was passing the Pearl I noticed the open air window seating and walked in to ask about their happy hour. They were offering 1/2 off on all Snacks , shareables, and drinks! What an awesome Happy Hour. I had a friend meet me and they weren 't able to give us a table, but we were able to find seating easily on their left barstools. score. We ordered 6 oysters, whitefished spread, coconut Thai mussels, and devils on a horseback. We washed them down first with two specialty cocktails and finished out with a martini each. All food items were delicious the oysters were fresh and I I loved the mignonette they were served with. It already contained the horseradish and was the only condiment I used (normally im squeezing lemon, adding horseradish, topping with hot sauce/a mix of those). The devils on a horseback were crispy and delicious. The broth for the mussels was creamy and dynamic. The whitefish spread was rich with a great combination of flavors. All serving sizes seemed totally fair. We were totally satisfied sharing one app and 3 snacks. The cocktails we had were the gin/thyme and the peach bourbon cocktail. They were fresh, decently sized, and did not disappoint. The peach cocktail came with frozen peaches instead of ice, which we devoured after they thawed. The Martinis were perfectly to our liking. Service was attentive from start to finish (and we sat there for awhile). This restaurant is normally a little bit on the pricier side, but during Happy Hour it was an absolute steal. I can 't wait to go back soon.
