- DDanCincinnati / Dayton •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is our first time eating at this restaurant. It is a beautiful place. The location is good but I think you have to do street parking. The seating are comfortable, some tables are small and we were seated close to the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic. The food was very good. Our server was excellent. The salmon was very good and so the pasta. The drinks were OK. I am very particular about my Old Fashion. I do not like small ice cubes in my drinks and this is what my Old Fashion came in. No cherry either,More infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8

- DDougBaltimore / Maryland •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoHad 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.More infoThe Pearl - Short NorthPrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Short North - Arena District•4.7
