    Haven’t been to this Short North restaurant for a quite some time. Food is pretty average. Won’t b returning for a long while. The eggplant parm was cut too thick and very soggy. Someone should know better and do better. Bar makes a great drink though.

    Asher was amazing and attentive and immediately recognized that one of us had a gluten allergy and went above and beyond to accommodate. The food & drinks were phenomenal as always. Marcella’s will always be one of our go to spots.

    Their food is always really tasty. Breads and doughs are all delicious. Our only problem was getting our drinks. We got all of our food (two appetisers and then two mains) before we got our drinks, and that was AFTER having to ask about them. It put an unfortunate damper on the whole meal.

    As is too often the case with Cameron Mitchell restaurants, the food comes out too fast. Order apps, 2 minutes later they are there. Order main course, a short period of time it's there. I'm not one for a 3 hour dinner, but the pace was too fast. Food was good, not great. Wine was served in water-type glasses. Should have requested a wine glass. For the price, I thought value was average, thus the three stars.

    So nice to treat my wife to a Mother's Day brunch! She enjoyed small plates while I had the pesto shrimp pizza. It was so good the entire table shared. The winner of the table was my daughter's pasta carbonara! We all had a bite and it's a good thing she didn't leave the table or it would have been gone when she returned. Our waitstaff, Wren, was a winner also. She was really friendly and accurate and ON IT with the mimosas.

    Have always been a huge fan of this restaurant so I will give it three stars even though this specific visit deserves less than that. Service was not good. Actually less than not good. Meatballs were mushy. Cocktails were less than average. Will go again because I know how good it can be.
