    Brunch was delicious. Peanut butter pancakes and chicken and waffles. Both delicious. Maybe the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had.

    The drinks were great. There was a variety of fancy cocktails. Christian provided excellent service. Food was good. It’s loud but we had a group and liked that it wasn’t a quiet place. Would recommend for drinks and groups.

    Love the Short North Pearl! If you can’t get a table in front of the open window is best! Great oysters and you have to get the Devil on horseback appetizer..delicious and can be a dessert! As always you can count on a Cameron Mitchell restaurant ❤️

    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.
