Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Short North - Arena District

My sister and I had an absolutely fabulous first experience at Marcella’s! Our server, Julia, was amazing and very accommodating. She was so friendly and gave some amazing recommendations. I had the salmon, but I wanted to substitute the sauce for a white sauce that they didn’t have on the menu. Julia spoke to the chef and the manager and they were able to create a wonderful sauce that exceeded my expectations. It was amazing and exactly what I wanted! That dish is genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had and I am so thankful for the team going above and beyond to provide me with excellent service. After our meal, my sister and I had the chocolate almond cake, which blew my mind. Julia said that was her favorite and she was absolutely right because it was delicious! I couldn’t ask for a better dining experience! I heavily recommend this restaurant.

Love the Short North Pearl! If you can’t get a table in front of the open window is best! Great oysters and you have to get the Devil on horseback appetizer..delicious and can be a dessert! As always you can count on a Cameron Mitchell restaurant ❤️

Fantastic first experience at this very nice restaurant. Staff were pleasant and interactive, and the ambiance was very good. Food was cooked perfectly.

Always love the experience at Forno - food was delicious, on time and service was great!

Our waitress, Claire, was the kindest, most excellent server I’ve ever had! Food was wonderful as usual!
