    I’ve been to the pearl many times. The service was particularly poor today (which is not the usual situation) - 20 minutes before the server took the order (and was visibly just talking with colleagues most of that time). Food was good.

    Food was very good. Service was excellent. A bit noisy and background music didn’t help.

    The service was great. The salmon was a little over glazed but everything else was great. The burst treat was a nice addition!

    There are two things you need on a Wednesday at The Pearl: a Chef Chad burger feature and a seat in Will's section. I’ll be thinking about this night for weeks to come—everything was outstanding. The burger feature was intentionally crafted and beautifully presented. The flavors, the savors, the service—perfection. A BIG thank you to Will for taking incredible care of us and making our evening even more special. Run, don’t walk, to The Pearl, sit with Will, and treat yourself to an unforgettable night!

    I had a team of chefs in for Ohio State. They were from all over the country and first time to the pearl. They loved it! Excellent job on the gluten-free options on the menu first class
