Columbus Restaurants

Lunch in downtown Columbus is back and special! We started with the Dirty Tots - crispy, spicy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a pop of caviar with dill garnish. Fantastic. The Lobster Roll is warm, filled with plump claw meat in a buttery roll with clarified butter for dipping and crispy shoestring fries. The Roasted Chicken was beyond any roast chicken with stuffing in the chicken breast, savory glaze on perfectly crisped skin. Even the iced tea was special - the current house made creation is a Blood Orange Iced Tea. A second glass arrived just as I was finishing the first. Service is friendly and gracious, there is valet at the lunch hour, and the interior of the restaurant is a lovely mix of formal and floral. A great business or celebratory lunch spot - much needed downtown.

Had a great evening with exceptional service by Alex and very good food. We had the curry mussels, tater tots, baked oysters and Harbor salad. All were quite unique and very tasty. We especially enjoyed the Harbor salad which we split among the table. We also had the punch bowl which was a nice drink option but required some extra effort to finish despite splitting between 4 of us. Probably better for a party of 6. Overall it was a great evening at The Pearl.

Great happy hour location! Many more food and drink choices than most restaurants on their happy hour menu. Food and service were great!

Wonderful dinner ! We had the Blue Plate special fried chicken and the ponzu salmon. A gin and tonic ,and a glass of Kim Crawford started our evening and a delicious piece of pecan pie finished it off! They have a fabulous pastry chef! Great place, always busy! Get a reservation !!

Food and service were excellent. Staff was patient with us as we had a leisurely dinner with friends who we don’t see very often.
