    I have been in Columbus a long time and made a point to visit each new Cameron Mitchell establishment as they pop up and Butcher & Rose did not disappoint! I took my best friend, a steak connoisseur, for her birthday and everyone helped make our evening a truly special celebration. The food and drinks were OUTSTANDING. To date, the best I've ever had from ANY of the CM family, and the very best steak and roasted chicken we've ever ordered in Columbus. Not to be out done by the food, the service was also the very best we've experienced anywhere in the city! I am already making plans to come back with my family this holiday season!

    From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.

    Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.

    Close walking distance to Ohio Theater with nice view overlooking Christmas lights in Columbus Commons. Met up with a friend for dinner before seeing Jon Stewart. Service was fast, food was hot and tasted great, atmosphere was friendly and lively without being too loud to hold a conversation. Great place to grab food if you're downtown for an event.
