I’ve decided day dates are WAY more fun these days.

Nic and I ventured out for brunch last weekend to The Pearl and it was everything we could ask for – tasty food and fun drinks paired with a cozy, lively weekend atmosphere. I’ve been a long-time fan of every Cameron Mitchell restaurant in Columbus and The Pearl has always been one I’ve frequently visited partly due to their ideal Short North location but oddly enough, Nic and I have never been to brunch there together!You can check out their entire weekend Brunch Menu HERE – it’s all absolutely fabulous and we had a difficult time deciding what to get, but we went with our tried and true pancakes/Mexican-inspired dish combo.Specifically, the Buttermilk Pancakes with bacon, fresh lemon, Ohio maple syrup, & butter and the Huevos Rancheros with chorizo, guacamole, and smoked chili black beans.Of course, we couldn’t stop there and also indulged in the House Made Granola with greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and honey, complete with a slice of their Brown Sugar Pie.

And, as expected, it all tasted as delightful as it looks.
