    Bad food. Bad service. Too expensive for what one gets in return.

    When we arrived, we noticed the music was very loud and not enjoyable at all. The service was good and the server was attentive. The food was average, unfortunately. We’ve been there a few times and it has always been good. It was pricey and subpar

    Had a great evening with exceptional service by Alex and very good food. We had the curry mussels, tater tots, baked oysters and Harbor salad. All were quite unique and very tasty. We especially enjoyed the Harbor salad which we split among the table. We also had the punch bowl which was a nice drink option but required some extra effort to finish despite splitting between 4 of us. Probably better for a party of 6. Overall it was a great evening at The Pearl.

    Ordered fish and chips, a salad and 2 glasses of wine. Wine had a fly in it and the bill was over $100. Maybe I had a bad experience, but Columbus has better.
