    We enjoyed our dinner- everything was delicious. I did miss the valet parking option, though. Sorry they did away with it, especially on a rainy night!

    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

    Our server, food and experience were great! Our 4to was with us and they brought her out fruit as a snack, spoke to her and took care of all of us so well.

    We booked on a Monday evening for dinner. It also happened to be a happy hour which was nice. Honestly everything was almost included except for pasta and specialties so it was really a good deal. Our server was very attentive, just came on the right time when we wanted him. The food was freshly made and all of the proportions were perfect for sharing. We will definitely come back here again.

    A last minute opening on a busy Christmas Hop evening was the cherry on top of a great holiday evening! Gwyneth, our server was terrific and cheerful. The room was abuzz with holiday celebrations, and the staff was tolerant of the two children scampering back and forth from end to end at a nearby table. We enjoyed the experience, as always at Marcella’s.
