Other than the noise level, the evening went quite well. The service was good and the food was well prepared.

Thank you so much for making a special day for our family that much more so. My two kids and I came for dinner to celebrate my wife's, their mom's, birthday. She passed away last year, and what would normally have been a festive and happy occasion was dulled by our loss. The hosts knew that we had come for a birthday dinner and asked if it was mine, but i explained that it was for my wife who had passed. Our server was attentive, friendly, and was quick bring us our drinks. We toasted her birthday and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The restaurant complimented our desserts and appetizers in honor of her birthday. Thank you so much. It meant the world to us.

I booked this restaurant for my daughters 17th birthday because I wanted something special. Wow did they come through! We had a reservation at 4:30 and when we check into our hotel room which was a block away we discovered her birthday dress was still hanging up at home an hour away. She forgot it since it wasn’t in her overnight bag. Long story short we got the dress but had called the restaurant to let them know we would be almost an hour late would we still be able to come. The gentleman who answered the phone said absolutely and her birthday won’t be spoiled on our end! Relief in that moment one act of kindness gave. We get there at 5:20 to a beautiful table, incredible service, and outstanding food. From me being able to sample a couple of the white wines and settling on a delicious one from France. To our steak being cooked perfectly medium rare and that peppercorn sauce amazing. The lobster was delicious, picked two sides which my daughter loves a good gourmet Mac and cheese this one was perfect! They even give a complimentary dessert and candle. Never did we have an empty water glass and the continuous staff was either wishing her happy birthday or asking if we needed anything. If you want exceptional service, amazing food and a great experience please don’t skip this one! They even made sure we had plenty of time to get to the nutcracker!

This is not the restaurant fault but Cameron Mitchell’s needs to partner with CPD/ City of Columbus to ensure short north is safe. My car was broken into after eating there. More pressure from local restaurants might help increase patrols

Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
