Okayyyy The Pearl definitely delivered…read more We started with the deviled eggs and they were a solid way to kick things off. Then came the wings. I wasn't obsessed with the blue cheese at first because I like mine a little stronger, but once I paired it with the sauce that came with the wings... chef's kiss. Together they were so good. The real star of the meal though? The jalapeño corn spoon bread with the honey butter. BABY. It was sweet, savory, buttery, and had just the right little kick. I will absolutely be ordering that every single time I come back. My friend tried both the baked oysters and the fried oysters, and she said the baked oysters were the winner because they had so much more flavor. Overall, such a cute spot with some really tasty food. The spoon bread alone is worth the visit. 8.8/10 Also Alex was our server! Super cute and fun she was the best!

Our waitress was incredibly attentive and helpful, which we appreciated on such a busy day. The only downsides were the tater tots, which came out cold, and the hanger steak, which was unfortunately so chewy it was inedible. Everything else was great, so I'm hoping this was just an off moment in the kitchen.

Another excellent experience here!…read more Stopped in here last weekend to celebrate my birthday. We were seated quickly, and our waitress Amelia took great care of us. She was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was still buzzing well until the evening; it's a great mixture of upscale and trendy, but not overly stuffy. Food was delicious. I had the barbecue pork ribs with the coleslaw which I've had in the past. The ribs just fall off the bone. The cheese biscuit skillet is also delicious. This is a must stop if you're in Columbus, truly a local gem!

But their happy hour takes care of that - even on Saturdays from 3p - 6p which is a brilliant promotion. While there, I had the smoked old fashioned which was impeccable. Then I took a sharp turn into the realm of Tiki with the Jamaican Rum-centric Caribbean Flannel. It hit the spot. After those cocktails, I really needed the Sweet Corn Elote to deliver and it did. I barely wanted to share it with others in my group. Good chips, great dip. Nice patio, too, if you don't mind the Goodale St. traffic.

I went here for my birthday and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was worth it…read more I ordered the steak, my boyfriend got the lobster ravioli, and we added salmon to the mix because why not go all in on a birthday dinner. Every single plate was hitting. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, seasoned well, and actually had flavor all the way through. The lobster ravioli was rich but not heavy, and the salmon was flaky and done right, not dry at all. What really made it though was the service. They were attentive without hovering, kept the drinks coming, and made it feel like a special night without being extra about it. For a birthday dinner, that matters. If you're going, don't go playing small. Order what you actually want. It's one of those places where you lean into the experience and enjoy it. Solid food, great service, and a good spot for something worth celebrating.

My take on the restaurant…read more Brussels Sprouts: 10/10 - as good as it gets! I couldn't imagine better brussels sprouts it was crispy but also soft in the center so you didn't have to fight your way through eating them even good restaurants. I have good flavor and good sauce for brussels sprouts aren't as soft as these ones. This was great. Lamb chops: 6.5/10 - very sweet small lamb chops! Cooked well and had good flavor I just wasn't personally blown away. The Clover Club: 9/10 - knew exactly what I wanted. Had Monkey 47 which is the BEST gin for this drink. Wasn't the best one I've had but pretty close for it not being on the menu. Filet: 7/10 - a little Gamey but it was cooked well as it should be. Didnt have anything unique about it just was don't like a filet should be done. The carrot was cooked to perfection which brought her review up. The fried potato was also amazing best part of the whole dish, especially with whatever spread they put on it. The fillet was not the highlight the carrot and the potato were. Sea Bass: 1/10 - genuinely did not taste good very gamey very fishy took two bites didn't eat it. The soup it came in was a little sour not a good flavor would not recommend. Hamachi Crudo: 3/10 - we are sushi snobs so take this with a grain of salt. It could totally be something that you love, but I hate when somebody brings out a piece of Nigiri or sashimi and it's warm. This dish has potential the flavors around it were very fresh but the hamachi was room temperature when it should be ice cold and the flavors felt like an after thought. Menu: 4/10 - nothing to write home about when it comes to the options. A very corporate get what you expect type restaurant. They aren't doing anything revolutionary here Atmosphere: 7/10 - definitely a nice spot. It's very clean bathrooms are intimate and also very clean again. Nothing revolutionary here the demographic when we went was very old and corporate. Price: 5/10 - $340 plus idk... I feel like this was worth $180-$220 personally for the price I never complain about price anywhere I go out to eat, especially fine dining, but this place was overcharging for what they're actually giving for sure. Overall: 6.5/10 - I would recommend this place to someone who doesn't really care about Food that much and is wowed by like an STK or a more chain like "fancy restaurant" I was hoping to get more of a small boutique very intentional experience at this restaurant just based on the outside by the field, but it definitely feels like they've cut a few corners when it comes to building a really unique food experience I would love to come back and give it another try because maybe I just came at an off time. Majority of people will give us an eight out of 10 rating.

Despite my peanut allergy, we decided to have breakfast at Northstar Café during our visit to…read moreColumbus. We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.

Starting with the drinks, the "Our Old Pal" the "Rose Spritz" and a sangria, which were all perfectly balanced and delicious. We started with bread & butter, brussel sprouts appetizers. The bread was good and the sprouts were fantastic. For dinner we had the crispy pork shank, the plate of all the meats and cheeses along with a chopped salad. It was a wondeful dinner with great service. This place is a must visit.

The menu looked interesting and following the reviews, we wanted to try a lot of items. In general, the appetizers were good. We liked the brussel sprouts, hummus and burrata. The bread was good and had an interesting flavored butter. Our main entrees came out a short while after the appetizers. The ribeye was good and cooked to temperature. Good but nothing great. Another had the beef tips and thought they were just okay. Another had the egg noodle linguine which was way too oily. And another had the salmon which they thought was fishy and mentioned it to our waitress. Service was okay. Our waitress stopped by several times to check on us. The food came out pretty quickly but we were not in any rush. An okay experience but definitely did not live up to our expectations.

We saw this spot and decided to hit them up for a din-din and beer on this auspicious late afternoon. We were seated and they quickly brought out a menu - including one for our pup!

Ok the taste - I'm not a huge okra fan. But these fried little morsels were spiced up and hit the spot- hubby loved his salad while I munched down my chicken and waffles like - you know - stat!

The atmosphere was modern with a southern twist. I'm not going to lie, I chuckled a bit when I noticed my water glass said "Bless Your Heart". In Appalachian culture, this is actually an insult. We had a large group, but the service was excellent. Very friendly, attentive, and everything was brought out timely and correctly. My food was really good! It was brunch time so I had coffee, the "Mimosa of the Moment" which was an apple cinnamon, a biscuit with blueberry preserves, and the Southern Shakshouka. All were fantastic and I would definitely get again. I also thought the price was affordable for the quantity.
