To enter M is to be transported...

Review By: G.A. Benton, Alive! Ultimate Restaurant Guide 2007


Look down on your menu at M and you’ll notice it’s changing colors. That’s because M’s overhead lighting is slowly shifting. This is part of the high drama at M, the opulent flagship of Cameron Mitchell’s fleet of eateries. Even vents and speakers at M can be snazzy, as some are part of a huge ceiling fixture fitted with gauzy curtains that hovers above an ornate bar.

If you’re not getting my drift yet, let me spell it out: To enter M is to be transported.

Residing in the upscale Miranova building, M provides sweeping interior vistas with its sky-high ceiling, layers of glass, sheets of sheer fabric and pretty polished wood. There’s also an oversized, handsome wine rack, sectioned-off dining areas (one resembling a wine barrel), a swanky patio and some of the most impressive views of downtown Columbus you’ll eyeball while eating.

And at M you’ll be eating delicious, artfully crafted and plated Mitchell cuisine. Like a refreshing Poke tuna appetizer with luscious fish interwoven with avocado and formed into a big fat puck. There’s also a veal medley that pairs some of the most succulent meat you’ll ever eat in town with a wonderfully pungent wild mushroom crepe.

Of course the service is great and the undeniable romance of the place extends to its fabulous desserts-like the coyly named “Coffee and Donuts.” Anyone expecting plain old coffee and donuts here might also confuse Cameron Mitchell with a humble fry cook (it’s banana beignets with an espresso semi-freddo).
