    We had a wonderful evening at Mezzo last night. The food was excellent. The waiter was patient (he had to come back several times before we were ready to order), attentive and knowledgeable. Our table enjoyed the filet (wonderful), pasta dishes, and seafood and there were smiles all around. Would highly recommend!

    Cameron Mitchell's The Pearl is always an easy choice. The two Columbus locations are probably the most consistent restaurants at which you can dine. Consistently great service, great food, great beer and drinks and great everything! We love the new brunch menu as well. We find ourselves back at THe Pearl every time we can't decide where we want to go. Our server Neil did a wonderful job on this visit as well. Super attentive without being overbearing.

    We went for happy hour. Every appetizer we had was amazing. The oysters were fabulous as was the pub burger. My cocktail and the wine were great too. You can’t beat the happy hour prices or the exceptional service we had. Our server Jordan was the icing on the cake. She was exceptional!

    We sat at the bar, we did not realize it was a pre-fix menu for Christmas. The menu sounded delicious, just more food than we signed up for lunch. Our bartender was great, and made the experience more enjoyable. Our drinks were delicious, and it was great ambiance. We are looking forward to our next visit to try the regular menu!

    We had a wonderful experience at Lincoln Social. The service was on point!! Great night overall! Maybe more food options and the lighting at the tables were not enough. I had to use my phone light to read the menu.
