   The service was very good. The food was just OK. I’ve been to this restaurant many times which is why I chose to come back here for my birthday. However, I feel the visit was below average. The flavor and the quality of the food was good just not what I would expect from a restaurant of this. Our server could not have been better. She did a great job! I just don’t think that this will be at the top of our list of restaurants for future visits.

   Quite possibly one of the best dinners of 2024 in Columbus! After several years of most restaurants being subpar (Pandemic: supplies/staff/etc.) many are beautifully recovering! Martini's is one of my wife's favorites, so after our Holiday Spectacular Symphony performance we had a "date night" that was Spectacular. Every staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, from the Valet, to the receptionist, to all 3 of the servers (Linda, Kevin, and fella with the white beard with jingle bells!) that helped us! The Garlic/Truffle bread was heavenly, and we definitely ate too much! The Frito Misto was the loser of the night; shrimp and calamari tough, not crispy, and just average at best; usually Cameron's calamari are the best ever! We have small appetites so we split everything to be able to try everything! The Caesar was excellent, nice and "lemony"; the scallops were the Star of the dinner and were as good or better than I have ever had, and again, Cameron does scallops better than anywhere and they are consistently excellent across his restaurants. We took dessert home: the Tiramisu was excellent, but really "rich" (back to the gym!), and the new lemon layer cake was great (back on the diet!). We do miss some of the "old" dishes: braised short ribs (always the best!), the salmon crusted with garlic on an artichoke bed (best ever; wife's favorite); the lemon meringue tart was also the "best"! So Bravo on achieving a spectacular meal; we loved everything so much we booked our New Year's Eve then and there on the spot!

   Martini’s as usual was great. It’s our go to in the Short North. Definitely helps with its location relative to the Hilton. Our first time back since the remodel. Looks good, except that they took the Short Rib off of the menu. Other than the lady next to us FaceTiming and on speaker phone, it was great. Which isn’t Martini’s issue, just the 50 year olds oblivious to where they are.

   Abi was an incredible bartender. We ended up staying at the bar instead of sitting down at our table because the atmosphere was just so fun. This is our first time in since the renovation and everything was amazing. The filet tenderloin; one of the best in the city!

    My fiance and I were in town for his birthday and wanted to have a nice dinner to celebrate! Martini was phenomenal. I had the house dirty martini and the stuffed olives were to die for. My fiancé had an old fashioned and said it was good as well. The loaded focaccia is out of this world!!!! We both got the tenderloin main entree and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. 10/10 will be coming back to Columbus for dinner here again!
