    Had the best experience with Kim as our server! Josh gave us a perfect table, nice and quiet! And the food just kept getting better through each course! I went out on limb from my usual steak and ordered ribs. So tender and delicious! My partner said her salmon was incredible! It was worth the drive and we found very reasonably priced! Everyone that came to our table was super friendly too! Enjoyed our dinner immensely! Thanks!

    My husband and I visited Cameron's American Bistro for a night out. We were not disappointed. We were warmly greeted upon our entry and quickly escorted to our seat. Our server quickly came over with our menus and gave us just enoigh time to look it over and order our cocktails, appetizer and meals. We started our evening with a Cucumber Smash cocktail and a Pinot noir, which were both delicious. We had the fried calamari for an appetizer, the pan seared salmon special and walleye for our meal. The pan seared salmon was served over some roasted veggies and sweet potato gnocchi. The salmon was super crispy and delicious, while the gnocchi were soft and tasty! The walleye was cooked perfectly. The crab meat and mashed potatoes the fish was served with were delicious. Our server was fantastic! We will definitely be returning!

    Our experience at J Liu is always excellent; J Liu offers a variety of foods, including options for children. Unlike many restaurants that attempt many different types of food, J Liu has mastered all that they offer. Their East Asian options are flavorful and reasonably priced, and their fine dining entrees are top quality. Their waitstaff are attentive and knowledgeable. I recommend both of their locations, in Worthington and Dublin.
