We had a wonderful evening at Mezzo last night. The food was excellent. The waiter was patient (he had to come back several times before we were ready to order), attentive and knowledgeable. Our table enjoyed the filet (wonderful), pasta dishes, and seafood and there were smiles all around. Would highly recommend!

Cameron Mitchell's The Pearl is always an easy choice. The two Columbus locations are probably the most consistent restaurants at which you can dine. Consistently great service, great food, great beer and drinks and great everything! We love the new brunch menu as well. We find ourselves back at THe Pearl every time we can't decide where we want to go. Our server Neil did a wonderful job on this visit as well. Super attentive without being overbearing.
