Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Clintonville

We had a lovely time celebrating my parent’s birthdays. We received wonderful service and the food was amazing!

There are so many great things on the Del Mar menu. Our favorite entree by far is the Lobster & Spaghetti. The caramelized onion bread is a nice complement as is the mixed greens salad. The best way to finish it off is the olive oil cake. What a great way to end a 'date day'!

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!

Our team recently had our Christmas department lunch at Bravo at Lennox, and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring our group was well taken care of. The festive atmosphere added to the holiday spirit, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the season. The food was outstanding – a perfect balance of flavor and presentation. Everyone in our group found something they loved on the menu, and the portions were generous. The pasta dishes, in particular, were a hit, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. Bravo at Lennox made our holiday lunch truly special, and we’ll definitely consider it for future events. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere!

We enjoyed the lasagna, one of our favorite Bravo dishes. We always enjoy dining at Bravo.
