Cameron Mitchell Restaurants will be closed on Monday, May 28th in observance of Memorial Day.
Review By: Steve Croyle, 614 Magazine July 2009M is Cameron Mitchell’s marquee restaurant located on the first floor of 2 Miranova Place, a swanky high-rise development on the southern edge of downtown Columbus. The accolades have been well documented. M is a high-end eatery that, if we’re being honest, a lot of people perceive to be intimidating.When I called to investigate, I found the staff to be very engaging. M takes reservations for the patio, which can be made well in advance. The restaurant doesn’t impose a dress code, so my “friend” who lives in jeans and a T-shirt would be more than welcome-even though the décor and the attire chosen by the rest of the patrons might make one dressed too casually feel a little self-conscious. The patio sits on the southwestern bank of the Scioto River, providing diners with a panoramic view of downtown Columbus. The building does a great job of stifling the road noise coming from Interstate 70. You might hear an occasional train rolling along the tracks across the river, see a bicyclist drift by on the adjacent trail, or catch a glimpse of a heron swooping down to the nearby dam for a snack.Seating is rather plush for a patio. Wicker lounge chairs are outfitted with big cushions making it really easy to linger, which is fine: M is not the sort of place that’s in a hurry to turn over tables.
