My wife and I have birthdays that are three days apart so we always have a great meal at one of the Cameron Mitchell restaurants near our home in Dublin, Ohio. This year we chose The Pearl which is one of our favorites. The menu is eclectic, the drink selection is top of the line and we have ALWAYS loved the service we get. This year didn't disappoint. Samantha, from Richwood, our server, did an outstanding job. Our meal, drinks, and dessert were beyond our expectations. For special occasions, you can't beat The Pearl.

About the restaurant
Note: Santa will be making a guest appearance at the Brass Eye from 10am-12pm on the 8th, 15th or 22nd of December.

Brass Eye is the perfect place to unwind and be inspired by one of our founding fathers who knew how to have fun and not be too serious. Benny Frank’s Drinker’s Dictionary will make you laugh and want to have one more. Our dynamic rooftop bar is surrounded by oversized fireplaces, cozy seating with panoramic views of the city – and is the perfect place to assemble with friends for well-crafted spirits and honest food that’s perfect for sharing and good times.

We had a wonderful time. Booked the Winter Haus rooftop experience, there were 6 of us. They had a heater to warm the space, nice ambiance. They had fire going outside. We ordered several things from the menu and everything was really good. Our server Owen was absolutely delightful!

About the restaurant
Some of the most memorable meals happen when good friends come together to share delicious, freshly prepared food in a setting filled with warmth and fun. That’s the kind of experience that inspires every dish on our menu at Spaghetti Warehouse. No wonder our Guests keep coming back for so many Spaghetti Warehouse specialties, from Our Incredible 15-Layer Lasagna to Spaghetti & Meatballs, Beer Chili to Fettuccini Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana to Spicy Shrimp Al Fresco Pasta. And with every entrée, we also serve hot sourdough bread accompanied by our crave-able garlic butter, plus your choice of our Garden salad or savory soup.

So much better than the last time we were there. Except for the constant bass! I don’t know if it was a car outside or what was going on but it pretty much ruined the meal for us. Our table was super wobbly too. When I cut my chicken, hubby’s beer almost spilled. Please fix those. And what’s with the mini bread loaves?
