The Pearl

Having previously spent a summer in Tampa, I was shocked to see a Pearl location during my vacation to Columbus. Same, incredible food. This place is a can’t-miss if you’re in the (apparently expansive) area.

Initially, I doubted this place, but they changed my mind soon as I walked through the door. The hostess was extremely nice. The waitress was very helpful and didn't mind answering all our questions that we had BUT let's talk about the food....TOP TIER! I had absolutely nothing to complain about. The Deviled Eggs, the steak and kimchi rice but let's talk about theclam chowder. Listen, get it and thank me later. Everything was honestly 5 out of 5.

Went here for my 22nd birthday, and I enjoyed every last minute. Staff were very friendly and enthusiastic, ambience was breathtaking, and the food was more than amazing !! I had the pleasure of being served by the best waiter/ server Ive ever experienced. Wesley did a truly amazing job and should be rewarded at work for his willingness to go above and beyond to make sure my birthday dinner was truly an amazing experience!!!

Finally a restaurant that has character, vibe and a super ambiance designed to give you an exceptional culinary experience. We had a quick stopover here on my way to the airport for drinks and light snacks, and had such a delightful experience The service is just phenomenal, very knowledgeable and engaging. For sure, I will be coming here, next time I'm in Dublin, Colombus....

I came to this location of the Pearl for the first time on Sunday for Brunch for my Father's 63rd birthday :) This place was top notch and awesome. My parents had never been here and were so excited to go for the first time. We made reservations just to be safe for around 1:30pm but the crowd seemed to be mostly gone by that time. We got a nice booth with windows overlooking the patio and the bridge, was super beautiful. The waitress Jenny was so wonderful and welcoming and just on top of it. She immediately asked about any allergies or dietary restrictions and was willing to make changes to dishes to accommodate any needs which was super appreciated. She was great at answering any questions we had about the menu also. My brother has the tavern burger and fries and loved it. Mom had the beet salad, and since the base is all beets Jenny was really nice and said she could have them add some different lettuce or prong mix :) and my Dad had the pork cheek hash which he absolutely loved. I had the grilled cheese which had Brie, pear jam, roasted squash and arugula pesto. When I tell you this is the most divine grilled cheese I have ever had the pleasure of eating I seriously mean it, what a wonderful take on such a classic item!!! And for an appetizer we had old fashioned deviled eggs also really awesome. This is a nice place so it is pricey for dinner but brunch prices aren't really that bad so if you have ever wanted to come in and try it out come at brunch :) thank you Jenny and the Pearl for being great and letting us have a special family moment here.

Food: 4.75/5 - The smoked fish dip appetizer was great (but needed more bread). The swordfish and chicken were both nicely balanced dishes, and the drinks were well-made, too. Service ( Atmosphere): 5/5 - Great, with nice outdoor seating options.

Wow! We went to the Pearl, Dublin location and it was great!! We parked across the street in the parking garage under the library and walked to the restaurant. The waterfront patio is first come first serve, but we were lucky enough to snag a small bistro table. It also happened to be happy hour, so all starters and appetizers were half off, and their oysters were only 3 each! We tried the jalapeno corn spoon bread, the fried pickles, and clam chowder, along with a baked and a fried oyster. Definately recommend the fried oyster! For dinner we split the Arctic Char entree and if we went back we’d get it again, SO GOOD! The fish itself tasted like salmon, and was crisped perfectly. The warm cauliflower on top of the cauliflower reduction was amazing. To top it all off we ordered the Oreo house pie. Their house made pies are delicious, we’d go back just for those! Service was great, our waitress gave excellent, honest recommendations. 10/10 experience, would definately go back.

The Hangar Steak meal was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the fried rice was very good. I also enjoyed the cocktail “The Sun Will Come Out Amaro” it was spicy and unique but not too sweet. The service was great and friendly. The ambiance was very nice. I will be back! Highly recommend.
