    View from my table looking at the oyster bar.
    Ross S.

    I have eaten at The Pearl before in downtown Columbus. This was my first visit to the Dublin location. I walked in since this was close to where I was staying in Dublin. It was pretty busy but I was seated very quickly by the host. It took awhile before my server came to the table and eventually I got water and I was then able to order a cocktail that was done right. The vibe here is pretty cool and not overly loud but definitely not quiet. I started with 1/2 a dozen oysters and 3 of them pretty much tasted bad. The other three were ok. Half from Nova Scotia and half from Massachusetts. I will not be getting oysters here again. For my entree I hit the hammer steak and it was very good and prepared to my request. My biggest regret is Cameron Mitchell restaurants seafood is usually out of the park good. Not so much this visit.

    My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time here. This was all of our first times coming here and it did not disappoint. The moment you walk in the place just exudes class and it's very clean. The Host and our server were very friendly and attentive, they broke the menu down for us very nicely since we haven't been. The food was phenomenal, the clam chowder was the one of the best I have ever had in my life. I had fish and chips, the fish was Lake Erie perch which I am a big fan of and it was fried perfectly and the coleslaw was amazing, I am very particular about my coleslaw and they knocked it out of the park. Then my mother and I split a cinnamon role and my mother said, "That has to be sinful because nothing can be that good." So if you haven't been to pearl yet, you must stop by!

    Harbor Salad
    Cara P.

    The Pearl never disappoints! It was a seafood themed visit for me this time. The Harbor salad is one of my all time faves. Great portion of seafood and lovely light vinaigrette. The scallops main were cooked perfectly and love a cup of clam chowder as a bookmark. Such a lovely and bright spot in Dublin and service was great, as always. My ONLY wish is that the menu would be updated a little more often.

    Salmon appetizer !

    I must say that this has to be the best brunch in the city, I have eaten at a few places and I have to be honest with myself. They do an awesome job. The service was 10/10. The restaurant vibe is always 10/10. The pancakes were 100/100. They were fresh and just melted in my mouth. The bacon was good to perfection! The salmon spread with deviled egg, thee absolute best. I mean wow!!! If you haven't been to the pearl for brunch. Go ASAP!! Thank me later!!!!

    Clam chowder
    Leslie A.

    Great Happy Hour here. 1/2 price beer, most cocktails, snacks and starters Our service was excellent. We came to eat dinner bc it was a business trip. Had the beet salad - sooooo good (per hubs) Garlic shrimp - soooo good. GET THIS!!! Deviled Eggs - best I have ever had Clam chowder - delicious Corn bread - very good And we tried all 4 oyster they had. - all were good **all half price The ambiance is great. Warm and welcoming. They will help you and they welcome you in We would definitely come back

    Hanger Steak ordered to-go. Lesson learned, I will only eat it in house!
    Branden S.

    I absolutely love The Pearl -- I always have such a great experience there! The food is consistently spectacular, the service is always stellar, and even the bathrooms are spotless and lovely (odd thing to mention, but true!). I always order the Hanger Steak, and tonight was no exception. However, after enjoying a few martinis, some apps, and oysters, I decided to get it to go -- big mistake! Lesson learned: that dish is best enjoyed in-house. Still, it doesn't change my love for the restaurant; just a tiny bit of disappointment this time around.

    This one of our go-to spots for celebrations. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed, the food is always excellent and the service has always been top notch. They have gluten free offerings and the staff understands gluten free requests.

    Fried Oysters
    Pamela Y.

    These were the best fried oysters I've ever had. Everything was magnificent! Service was excellent. We enjoyed the seating outside in the shade with a cool breeze. Next time we travel to Ohio this restaurant will be top on our list!

    Baked Oysters
    Cassandra R.

    Stopped in for a Friday group happy hour and had a fantastic time. Located in the heart of Dublin/Bridge Park with plenty of easy parking and other restaurants and bars to pop over to. The restaurant itself is upscale without being too fancy so you can come after work or after a day of running errands. Our waitress was accommodating and quick - she did a great job on a busy night with a large group. I ordered the margarita which was refreshing. We also split several appetizers- the chicken wings confit (sauce on the side which was nice to have different sauces and spice levels), devils on horseback (dates wrapped in bacon), tater tots (large and so so good), corn bread (moist with a crispy top), baked oysters and French fries. All were delicious and would definitely go back again! Overall a great spot to checkout!

I requested to be seated in the middle section & was told the tables needed to be cleared off first. Took 10+ minutes and someone else got seated there before us. Anyways, Arnold Palmer was very bitter. Whatever you have in mind for deviled eggs is not what you will need tasting when you try these. It had an odd smell and tasted under seasoned. Would not order again. The wontons I give a 3/5. Not my favorite. The mushrooms weren't over powering but still interesting. This could have also used more seasoning. Outer layer was crispy. If you don't like sauces, ask for your sauce on the side because they pour it on your wontons for you. The empanadas seasoned well. Stuffed well too. Would order again. Then we ordered the flank steak medium. We received well done and it took more than 15+ minutes for the waitress to come to our table to check on us in order for us to send it back to get medium. Other than that, plantains were cooked well, the rice and beans were good. Presentation was beautiful. The restaurant was not busy at all. There were many empty tables and seats at the bar. Music isn't too loud to have conversations. Considering how much I spent on these meals and drinks, I would not return again.

As soon as I walked in, I noticed all the plants: some were hanging and many were near the windows throughout the whole place. They were real and very healthy. Someone who works here must have a green thumb. There were many tables and chairs, a long bar and a separate area for private parties. There is a QR code to order at our table but I ordered from the bar because it was not too busy. My bartender was very friendly. She acknowledged me right away, and came to take my order as soon as she could. I ordered the margarita but all the cocktails looked so good. The decor behind the bar was beautiful! It was a long picture of a runway with a plane taking off. There were also airplane windows that were so cute and went with the whole airport theme. I came up later to order shots for our table. The same bartender once again helped me find the right shot for my friends . I also tried the Kitty Paw hard Steltzer drink. It was refreshing and I loved the hint of Guava. The whole place wasn't too loud. We could carry on our conversations without shouting. They had an etagere near our table full of board and card games. My friends grabbed the Truth or Fear game.
