Wonderful dinner, and Danny, our server was the best! From the Steak and Lobster to the Pork Chop (which is huge!) to the salad, dinner was wonderful. The French Onion soup is probably the best in Columbus. It was quiet (on a Tuesday), which was great for my husband who is hearing impaired and cannot always hold a conversation in a noisy environment. The staff even checked my coat and brought back to me at the end of the meal (I have been here before and never knew they did that!). You cannot beat any Cameron Mitchell restaurant, but if you want great steak, great atmosphere, and wonderful staff - go the The Avenue in Grandview.
