    Today was our annual trip to the Bucket at Polaris for the best St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef and Cabbage in Columbus! Only drawback was that we had to drink a non-green beer since they were out of coloring for the beer.....bummer! :)

    Corned beef & cabbage was as tough as eating a rubber tire, we both left hungry. I actually laughed out loud when our server asked if we were going to return the next day - I said NO. Restaurant was cold, no need for AC when it’s raining and in 40’s-50’s. Second time this month this Cameron Mitchell restaurant disappointed. I wonder what’s going on with them.

    I recommend making a reservation, as this restaurant gets really busy on a Saturday night. Since we had a reservation, we were seated right away. Our server waited on us quickly and filled our drinks several times without us having to ask. Our food was brought quickly and exactly as we had ordered.
