    Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

    Thank you so much for making a special day for our family that much more so. My two kids and I came for dinner to celebrate my wife's, their mom's, birthday. She passed away last year, and what would normally have been a festive and happy occasion was dulled by our loss. The hosts knew that we had come for a birthday dinner and asked if it was mine, but i explained that it was for my wife who had passed. Our server was attentive, friendly, and was quick bring us our drinks. We toasted her birthday and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The restaurant complimented our desserts and appetizers in honor of her birthday. Thank you so much. It meant the world to us.

    This is not the restaurant fault but Cameron Mitchell’s needs to partner with CPD/ City of Columbus to ensure short north is safe. My car was broken into after eating there. More pressure from local restaurants might help increase patrols

    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
