We have been wanting to check out the new location at Bridge Park for the past few months since it opened. As a fan of the Short North location, seeing this beaut of a restaurant pop up so close to home pleases me greatly. The ambiance is similar to the other location, but there is more space, more art, and beautiful high ceilings and chandeliers that I wish I took pictures of. There are two stories of outdoor seating with personal glass encased fire pits. It's truly the perfect setting for summer nights out with small socially distant groups of course! The menu is almost exactly the same as the one downtown with a few minor differences. We got the cornbread appetizer and smoked salmon which comes with a deviled egg. All were delicious but for anyone that loves cornbread I would highly recommend that above all. So delicious. I also had the fried chicken which comes with creamed corn and a sticky bun. Also amazing. Plenty of food as well, and the leftover chicken and bun were such a treat this morning. Other notes, my mom loved her Moscow mule and the tator tots were literally out of this world. The service was also incredible as well. All in all it's definitely a must if you're headed to Bridge Park! read more

The Pearl is an incredible restaurant that offers exceptional food and cocktails. The atmosphere is incredible and does well to control for noise. All of the staff we interacted with provided outstanding service. Everyone at our table ordered a different dish and all were very happy with their choice. The appetizers were outstanding as well. I'd make this place a regular if I lived locally. Highly recommend! read more

I didn't even realize The Pearl is in Dublin as well. This was a nice little surprise and change of scenery from their Short North location. The food is just as good as their other location. I tried their jalapeno cornbread as a starter. The cornbread was perfect with taste, texture, and enough moisture to not be dry and crumbly. It is served with a little bed of butter and honey. For dinner I got the fish and chips which was equally delicious. The dish was cooked to perfection that I didn't even need to douse it in malt vinegar. I ended up eating the whole plate of food. There is indoor or outdoor patio seating available. Reservations are recommended as Dublin is a busy area. read more

Great happy hour and enjoy the views across the walking bridge. The service is always excellent!

I ordered the Harbor salad . It was mostly lettuce with a lot of croutons. It is supposed to be a seafood salad, but there was almost no seafood in it! There was basically nothing to it! All lettuce , it was obvious they were trying to save money. Still hungry after I ate it! read more

My two friends and I went on a Sunday at 1:30. We were seated on one of the patios, and were the only ones out there (I am guessing the other patio was full). The inside of the place was attractive but practically empty. After we received our iced teas, the server didn't return to take our order for 10 minutes. I ordered shrimp and grits. The server came back to check on us before we had a chance to try the food. I was going to ask for some parmesan and hot sauce because I found the dish to be bland, but she didn't come back for another 15 minutes. I already ate half because I was very hungry. I took the leftovers home, added the hot sauce and parmesan which definitely improved it. Since the shrimp were overcooked to begin with, it was unfortunate to have to re-heat the dish. I definitely wouldn't order it again. I also would never agree to be seated anywhere away from the rest of the patrons, because I believe we were forgotten. read more

Where do I start... hmmm let me say this...this place is gorge, its in a nice area in Dublin and sits on the water! My server was John and he was awesome! He recommended the Burbon Bacon Beautiful drink...no complaints there. I ordered the Harbor Salad - it was good, my only gripe was that the crab meat appeared to be imitation meat. The N'awlins Style Baked Oysters were a nice size and the taste was the bomb!! I also had the Jalapeno Corn Spoon cornbread..which was sweet with just the rite hint of spice. I need to get my pic game back on point...but the best thing I can say is make a reservation and enjoy the good food. read more

The Pearl is a charming restaurant in downtown Dublin. I went there for brunch and I ordered chicken with waffles. The waffles were made perfectly. Hot honey and peach compote were served with it. The chicken was moist and tender. The service was great. The hostess was nice and courteous. read more

First let me say the service was great. All the servers deserve a living wage of $20 an hour. They were lovely people and very nice and accommodating However, the cost of the food at fancy Cameron Mitchell restaurants like this is insane. All you rich Dublin suburbanites don't even realize how much you are getting f*cked in the *ss. Exhibit A: attached is a photo of a tiny cup of blue crab meat smaller than my hand. This cost $23 dollars. Colossal crab? More like miniscule crab There is also a photo of a normal ass salad anyone could have made by buying ingredients from Kroger. This cost $13. The cornbread was objectively delicious. But remember you could get a large portion of cornbread from an amazing soul food restaurant for much cheaper if you weren't afraid of black people and working class neighborhoods. Also their oysters were $14 for 3 oysters. I know we are in a landlocked state, but come on. They should at least be bigger oysters. Anyway, I'm going to find Cameron Mitchell and tar and feather him. I'm joking, of course, kind of. read more

The service was great. I forgot the gentlemen's name that helped us but he was very nice. He checked in on us enough - not too much which is good when you're trying to eat. The atmosphere was good. It felt very relaxed and welcoming. The cornbread was delicious: It tasted like jiffy cornbread with a ton of butter and a few jalapeño bits. The whipped butter was soooo good. Great soft and comforting texture. The honey was FRESH and warm. Overall, it was a typical southern appetizer. Nothing fancy. Everything else was okay at most. All-in-all, was the food worth the price? No. Was the atmosphere and view worth the price? Maybe, depends on who is asking read more

We originally were seated in a booth by a wall but noticed they had another room with the walk path view, Christopher gladly checked with the hostess and moved us promptly! Definitely will be returning soon. read more

My bestie took my sister and I here for brunch. It's located in downtown Dublin, which is one of the cutest places in the central Ohio area in my opinion. There are plenty of places to park in the vicinity for free including the Darby parking lot. If you park in the garage, you may need parking validation. We had reservations, so no wait time. The interior is clean and very charming. The staff are friendly and know their stuff. We got blood marys which came with small bottles of Millers (I recommend giving your drinks a little stir before enjoying). The omelette of the day was delicious (mine had chorizo and sauted veggies). Our waiter was very thoughtful and asked if I liked spicy things (yes of course!), before bringing me their hottest hot sauce unasked. My sister got the pork cheek hash with perfectly cooked eggs, and it was a flavor explosion. My bestie got the grilled cheese which she enjoyed immensely. We did get tater tots which was a huge portion and absolutely amazing (highly recommended) -- they were super crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. Luckily we chose not to get apps beforehand because everything was deceptively filling. We didn't end up finishing the tots (a tragedy, I know). The location is perfect because it's right next to the bridge, so you can go for a picturesque stroll after your meal. And there are a couple of parks just across the street too, if you don't want to wander too far. They also have outdoor seating with a pretty view. Definitely will be bringing friends and family back here! read more

There are a couple of restaurants in Columbus area that are always CLUTCH and CONSISTENT AF and THE PEARL is definitely one of these spots. Whether downtown or in Dublin they never disappoint. Service at both locations is spot on. Food is executed to perfection, hot, crispy, and the epitome of comfort food should you choose those selections off of their menu. Drinks are amazing as well. My go to's when I go here are the burger, tots, and chicken dinner. You cannot go wrong should you choose these but I wanted to mix it up and try a few different things for brunch and they were all home runs. The confit wings had a crispy buttery outside and moist inside and marinated very well. I guess that's why they're called CONFIT if you're familiar with the technique. I can't go here without getting the tots as they have a crispy crunchy outside and potatoey pillowy mashed potato esque inside to die for. The dipping sauce they come with are addictive and I could drink a cup of it by itself. The tavern Benny had delicious sausage, biscuits, sausage gravy and perfectly poached eggs. The pork belly hash was great along with the pancakes and bacon. The bourbon bacon mash drink was unique and flavorful and the St Bernardus draft was smooth yet powerful. Great outdoor patio and ambiance overlooking bridge park in Dublin that provides an added advantage instead of going to the Short North on High St. Again, I've been here several times but this was my fist time at the Dublin location and no matter which on you choose it never misses! read more

This review is a little limited because we came here late and the kitchen was already closed to taking new orders. However the vibe was really good, the service was great and the drinks were good too. I like the French vibe and we did see some plates coming out of the kitchen and it made me want to come back and try the food. read more

Me and my family went here for dinner tonight and had a great meal. The wait was an hour so we put our name down and went to one of the bars near by that the manager recommended to us while we were putting down our name. They then texted us once our table was ready and sat us in the back room which had the best view of the river. It was stunning. We order the deviled eggs and the oysters. Both of which were decently good, we preferred the oysters to the deviled eggs. We then ordered the boil, the ribs, the pork piri piri, and the stake strip. All 4 meal where outstanding. Finally we ordered two slices of pie. Both of which where worth saving room for, especially the eggnog pie. Our server was incredibly nice, had great recommendations. Over all we had a great night, would definitely come back, and would recommend it to any one else. read more

We went to the Pearl for restaurant week, and my was it delicious! This was our first time at the Bridge Park location. We were there at happy hour time and got our white sangria for a great price! I ordered deviled eggs, fried chicken, and mud pie. My husband ordered clam chowder, low country boil, and brown sugar pie. Of course, we tried each other's food. It was all so good and we left stuffed! The fried chicken has some unique flavor in it that paired perfectly with the cinnamon roll. We think it was cinnamon in the batter! The corn dish I had was very flavorful. The brown sugar pie is a staple item here, but since we had never tried it, we had to get one. Both pies were so rich and sweet. read more

Went for Saturday brunch, we still have to wait for a bit even I did make a reservation. Well I guess we did get a server in training, I have to ask twice and wait for a while for hot sauce. The food was delicious, we ordered pulled pork hash and rancheros. read more

We went to The Pearl with a large group on a rain-soaked weekend afternoon for brunch. Reservation is recommended, and we were seated promptly on arrival. Our server was very polite and patient with us (since we had different members of our party arrive at different times), and he took the time to explain the menu items and the specials of the day. The menu itself is very eclectic and offered something for everyone. One area of opportunity is that there is only one mocktail on the menu, which is quite a bit fewer than most other similar restaurants who offer 3-4 different mocktail options. The food was excellent. Since ours was a fairly good-sized group, I felt that we covered most of the main menu items. For starters, we ordered, the Tavern Fries, the Jalapeno Corn Bread, and the Tater Tots. The fries were just ok, the corn bread was very good and moist, but the tater tots were excellent. All the appetizers were decent portion sizes too, and each can easily be shared by 3-4 people. For our main entrées, we ordered the Hangar Steak, the Shrimp and Grits, and the Chicken and Waffles from the children's menu. All these dishes were flavorful and excellent. The Hangar Steak was well-seasoned, and integrated well with the kimchi rice and the fried eggs. The Shrimp and Grits were savory and hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The Chicken and Waffles was a very large portion (enough for an adult TBH), and was tasty at the same time. Our table came away impressed by the quality and quantity of the food, as well as the excellent service by the server and the rest of the restaurant staff. I highly recommend The Pearl - they are in part of Dublin where there are a lot of quality restaurants, but if given the opportunity, I would welcome the opportunity to go back there again. read more

I finally walked across the Dublin Link to try this quirky restaurant. The first negative was the miserable hostess who clearly did not care. We were seared at a 4-top and immediately received water. We placed our drink orders. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, it took 15 minutes for a wine and a simple cocktail to arrive. We also ordered two apps at the same time as the drinks. The apps mosied out at the 25 minute mark. Again, the restaurant wasn't busy not busy. The jalapeño cornbread in a small cast iron skillet was just okay. We also ordered the deviled eggs. Four halves arrived in a ridiculous tin chicken that promptly fell off the table when a guest reached for the last one. Come on! That could not have been the first time that happened! The prices are absurd. It is one of the most expensive restaurants in the Dublin area and is NOT worth the price. The menu is unfocused and frankly odd. It's as if a first year culinary student put it together with NO idea what the purpose of the restaurant is. Is it pub, is it Midwest fish, is it salads with odd combinations (beer and avocado???), is it Tex-Mex? A table mate ordered the ubiquitous Ohio dessert: peanut butter pie and chocolate (called Buckeye pie). ) $163.50 for 3 before tax and tip. We were all hungry after we left and ordered a pizza. I'm stunned that this is dubbed a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. read more

Just had a wonderful meal at The Pearl. It was my first time there but was anxious to try it after all the good things I had heard about it. I was not disappointed. First of all, about the establishment. It's in the heart of the beautiful Short North area. It's dimly lit and nicely appointed with a pleasant ambiance. It's suitable for family gatherings or a large get together as well as a cozy date night. You can also sit at the bar which seemed inviting. The staff was very friendly. Our server was Chris. He was very nice and attentive. Rose, the manager, checked to make sure that we were all enjoying ourselves. Now for the food. Take the rave reviews about the homemade tots to heart. They are amazing. We had the chicken sandwich, Cuban sandwich and I had the braised short ribs. We all enjoyed our meals and I have to say the short ribs were wonderful and fork tender. The constructed cocktails were also very good. I only wish that I had made room for the Snickers pie. Next time! read more

This is Cameron Mitchell's number one restaurant in Dublin. The service is exceptional and the food is fabulous.

It was my first time visiting this Dublin location. It is bigger than the short north location, and also has a very nice atmosphere! My friends and I came here for happy hour and dinner. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4pm to 6pm. They have a great deal for happy hour, including half off on drinks and half off on snacks and starters. We got a dozen of oysters, and a couple of appetizers. Teriyaki octopus was very tender. I wish it would have more sauce with it. Clam chowder was creamy and seasoned well. The main dishes were tasty too! Overall the price was reasonable, the food was good, and the staff were friendly! read more

I had a reservation for 7 pm on Tuesday night during Restaurant Week. The check-in process was smooth. I was given the option of indoor or outdoor dining and decided to do indoor dining since it was around 90 degrees outside. I was seated up front by the windows which provided good people watching, but the temperature inside was possibly warmer than outside. I ordered the citrus salad, southern fried chicken, and banana cream pie. It took about an hour for the salad to come out after placing my order. The salad was to be expected. Over the course of next hour and a half the rest of the food came out. The fried chicken was nicely crisp on the outside but a bit dry on the inside. It could benefit from having a sauce with it (maybe a hot honey or something along those lines). The cinnamon sticky bun was kind of dry and didn't have much icing or cinnamon. The creamed corn was surprisingly good and possibly the best part of the meal. The crust on the banana cream pie was dry and unappetizing. The pie could be improved with more banana incorporated into it. Our server was nice, accommodating, and apologetic for the long wait. Overall, the experience didn't meet the usual Cameron Mitchell standards that I'm used to. I'd recommend trying to sit outside or in the back of the restaurant. The views and decor are much nicer than the front. read more

Excellent restaurant in Dublin OH. I came in on a business trip and stumbled I to this place. 1. Great atmosphere for both date night or just plain old sitting at the bar. It's a lot like I imagine an old high-end 1920s speakeasy/club would be. 2. Cocktails are on point and they have a nice wine list 3. The food is the star. A. Citrus Salad - light, airy, no over powering flavors. The occasional blend of the goat cheese with the greens is delicate and it sets up the pallet for a little sip of wine. B. The Sea Bass - cooked perfectly not too done that it turns to shoe laces but it had a great crisp to the top of it. The garbanzo beans with the yogurt and lentils make the dish quite hardy and filling. C. The Key Lime Pie - best I've had in a restaurant. I'm contemplating to go back tonight. read more

Food came out cold - which is half good and half bad. Deviled eggs were amazing as usual. The JALAPEÑO cornbread barely warm. Maybe that is the way it is supposed to be served. We ordered drinks, however the food came out before the drinks. The Bartender admitted they forgot. Drinks were then rushed and didn't taste good. Never checked on. I expect more for a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. read more

I'm saddened by having to write this review but it happened to us this weekend while we had guest visiting so I can't avoid it. It started with reservations we made at the Pearl, we arrived on time and still had to wait an hour for patio seating,only to discover when we were called they informed us they messed up and they gave our table to another party so we had to be seated inside. We Placed our drink order and appetizers, the order arrived incorrectly and then the we had to wait for someone to provide table settings!!!!!

We started with a margarita and Elvis juice. I had the beet salad, hubs had the clam chowder. We split the burger and low country seafood boil. Portions were large!

If you're up in Dublin and looking for something to satisfy a seafood craving, a cocktail itch, or you're just wanting great food and a cozy atmosphere, head over to The Pearl. I've never had a bad experience here and I keep coming back time and time again. We love to sit at the bar and enjoy the company of the awesome bartenders, but we also love to spend time alone sitting in a comfy booth. Their happy hour is one not to be missed - with great drink specials and deals on some of their most famous foods. I've gotten an order of the jalapeño spoon bread every time I visit for happy hour - it can't be beat! You truly can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu - no matter what your craving is, they'll have something to satisfy! My favorites are the baked n'awlins oysters, the harbor salad, and the devils on horseback. read more

This remains one of our favorite spots and we picked a perfect night to go back with great weather and a fun scene in Dublin. We got the cornbread and it was delicious as always. We also got the dressed colossal blue crab and it was delightful. If you love beautifully simple seafood then that dish is for you. It comes in a little bowl with crackers and seems a little underwhelming at first but it was delicious. I had the hanger steak and it was excellent again even though my medium rare was a little rare even for me. They made a nice grilled cheese for our simple eater. Our teen had the butternut squash and ricotta dumplings which we both thought was very good. My wife had the beet salad and added salmon (again) and she loved it. They tossed in a butterscotch pie for the birthday celebration which was also very good although I was a bit disappointed with the crust. Excellent service and an overall great meal. read more

First off, service is pretty top notch. Attentive, fast, and friendly. Food wise: it is a bad sign when the best thing you order is appetizers and fries. The deviled eggs are amazing. The fries are perfectly done. But the fish and chips? The fish was bland. Hangar steak with kimchi rice? It looked gorgeous. It tasted meh. The rice was inconsistently cooked. One bite was over the top spice and the next was crunchy rice. The steak was somehow perfectly med-rare and dried out. For the price paid, I expect more from the food, but unless the menu gets more appetizing, the pearl is going to be relegated to appetizers and dessert. read more
