    I have been in Columbus a long time and made a point to visit each new Cameron Mitchell establishment as they pop up and Butcher & Rose did not disappoint! I took my best friend, a steak connoisseur, for her birthday and everyone helped make our evening a truly special celebration. The food and drinks were OUTSTANDING. To date, the best I've ever had from ANY of the CM family, and the very best steak and roasted chicken we've ever ordered in Columbus. Not to be out done by the food, the service was also the very best we've experienced anywhere in the city! I am already making plans to come back with my family this holiday season!

    Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.
