- AAriannaColumbus •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoAs a group, we had a great time! With there being 8 of us, we were seated in the wine room, making the experience even better because we could have our own conversations without having to overhear the rest of the restaurant. The food and service was also fenomenal!More infoThe Guild House - ColumbusPrice: Expensive• American• Columbus•4.8

- RRyanVIPColumbus •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis 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 patrolsMore infoMarcella's - Short NorthPrice: Moderate• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8

- PPhilColumbus •22 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoKudos 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.More infoForno Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• American• Short North - Arena District•4.8
