Great environment. Very good bistro menu. Onion soup good but very overpriced. Quiche was excellent. Rosé was superb. Service was sophomoric. Kids need training on the menu. They looked good in the outfit. Overall it has potential but the servers need a lot more coaching.

First time here. We came in for brunch and we loved what we had. We had the she crab soup….delicious! We also had the crab Benedict and Buttermilk chicken. It was all really good! The only reason we left before having one more cup of the great coffee was the girl three tables down popping her gum. Not the restaurants fault, but we almost went over to her and asked her if she was enjoying her gum. Very nice place and they still have less than classy people coming in.

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
