- MMaria AnaidColumbus •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHere’s a review you might like: --- **A Perfect Dining Experience – Excellent Service & Delicious Food!** We recently celebrated my friend's birthday at The Pearl, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. The food was absolutely amazing! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Whether it was the appetizers, main course, or desserts, each bite was a delight. To make the night even more special, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake for my friend! It was such a thoughtful touch and truly elevated our celebration. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. If you’re looking for a restaurant with excellent service, delicious food, and a special touch for celebrations, I highly recommend [Restaurant Name]! We will definitely be coming back.

- EEdwardColumbus •18 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of the few downtown restaurants we'll still go out of our way to visit, especially with the insane parking. The restaurant itself has an awesome historic charm. It is on the nosier side, but that's the only negative. Our last visit we had walleye, which was exceptional and a corned beef reuben which was decent. The service is always excellent.More infoElevator Brewery & Draught HausPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Columbus•4.6
- NNatalieColumbus •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe enjoyed the 2025 Valentine's menu. It came with an app, main, and desert for just $36 bucks which is kinda wild and affordable in my opinion. The ambience is stunning, just a really cozy, dim, romantic feel. Not too noisy, and despite being a full restaurant on one of the busiest days of the year, it felt surprisingly intimate with the use of cloth curtains partitioning the space into smaller sections. The appetizers were fantastic, I had the shrimp gumbo and my girlfriend had the wedge salad. For the main course I had the crab linguine Alfredo which was incredible and had an absurd amount of crab (in a very good way). My girlfriend had the pork and it was so tender, served right on the shank for an impressive display and large portion. Dessert was the only bummer. They were out of tiramisu so our options were a beer float or a s'mores brownie. I loved my float, but the brownie was dry, hard, and I make better ones out of a box. Overall, incredible meal though, super affordable and with some cocktails and beers it was still well below our Vday date budget. Finally need to note that our server was a joy! She was super informative about the menu, very personable and fun. Attentive, really just all the things you want from your service. We will be back for sure!More infoForbidden Root ColumbusPrice: Moderate• Brewery• Columbus•4.3

- MMarcoColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis visit was kind of different. It was my 2nd time coming here and of course we were served nicely. Although I noticed the food was very salty. I had wine so it's kind of helping with that but it literally stings our tongue. We got the burger, wings, thai mussels and clam chowder. Overall it was nice, except for that salty food.More infoThe Pearl - Short NorthPrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Short North - Arena District•4.7
