Another exquisite meal at a CM restaurant. Loved the Mediterranean Greek Italian mashup on the menu. The tomato salad is 5*, great margarita at a $20 price, and a wonderful veal chop we split. Great service by Ishmael who has been on the job for two weeks and started as a busser. Del Mar is great, and prices are very California. Good experience. We'll be back. read more

Del Mar Columbus - Blueberry tart small slice tonight but a favorite - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My take on this spot SIENNA: the bartender was great 10/10. Five star review for her. Yellowfin Tuna Tartare: 6/10 - it was okay. Spicy Feta: 8.5/10 - GREAT! Just came with one piece of pita bread that was very warm and delicious but not enough to finish off the feta plate and I don't feel like scooping up the rest with a fork. The Clover Club: 7/10 - they have money 47 but they did not have raspberry syrup so they used strawberry. Wasn't the best Strawberry Clover club I've had. Lamb Meatballs: 7.5/10 - needs more cilantro. It does have cilantro in there in the Best Buy are with cilantro so make sure you eat it with the cilantro. meatballs were a little gamey and could've been a little bit more crispy on the outside. Rosemary potatoes: 6/10 - tasted like potatoes a little too much if that makes sense but the lemon aioli was great! Cauliflower: 8/10 - great! Could have been softer and a little more fresh but it was actually great. Menu: 3/10 - bit a huge selection and nothing caught my eye, also I hated reused menus. They just don't feel clean. Atmosphere: 7/10 - chill spot nothing crazy very clean. Price: 9/10 - $115 for everything was great! Overall: 6.5/10 - would come back but it's not like an experience it's like a hangout spot. read more

The Zucchini chips were really good. The servers were nice and the space itself is pretty. We sat outside and the view in front of the fountain was refreshing. The food was not good in my opinion. The Zucchini appetizer was good and the desert was yummy. About what I expected from one of these types of restaurants... I didn't like how my chicken had all the skin on it also...it made it so hard to eat & was just gross tbh. I ended up eating half of one and just tossing the rest. I probably wouldn't eat here again, at the very least wouldn't get the chicken again... In my personal opinion, it was expensive and mid. Perhaps other things on the menu are better. read more

Went twice in one day. First went for HH and enjoyed octopus and sangria at the bar. Then ended up back for a dinner upstairs. Upstairs was beautiful and felt like a different restaurant. Knocked down a star as it took 5-10 mins just to receive a dessert menu and wait times between courses seemed a bit slower. Bar service was fantastic though! read more

The restaurant is lovely and the staff and servers were wonderful. We were lucky to have a cozy party room for our celebration brunch. The food is fresh and served beautifully. I will be honest, I did not enjoy my entree at all. The Mezza Grilled Shrimp is not something I'd recommend. The shrimp portion is paltry (3 shrimp) and was overcooked and chewy. I didn't like the salad either. It had mint (I believe. Could have been basil) which was bitter and off putting. Having said that, my party enjoyed their meals of beet salad, grilled salmon, Shakshouka and lamb burger. The hummus was freshly prepared along with warm wheat pita and the lemon blueberry cake and baklava were also enjoyed. Another person in our party did not like the Mezza shrimp either and they politely gave her a beet salad that she did enjoy, which was appreciated as the celebration was in her honor. You are definitely paying for ambience here. What can I say, sometimes it's worth it. read more

The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The steak was great and lobster spaghetti had great presentation. Nevertheless the spaghetti in the dish could've been a little bit more al dente and seasoned but the plump meaty lobster was the star of the show. That carmelized onion flatbread and the spicy lamb flatbread was OFF THE CHAIN! The service was warm, attentive, and professional, and the atmosphere made the whole event feel special. Everything came together perfectly. Definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food and a good experience! read more

Came to Del Mar after receiving a recommendation from a family member. We were celebrating an engagement and we were treated very nicely! The inside is so cute, with two floors and two bars. Our server was kind and provided recommendations on most popular dishes and her favorites. Everything we ordered was delicious and everyone was satisfied. At the end of our night they brought us their olive oil cake with a congratulations chocolate to recognize our celebration! That was so kind. Would return! read more

Went here for my birthday dinner. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they were able to seat us without a long wait for a Sunday dinner. We started off the with the lamb meatballs and hummus. Our entrees were lobster spaghetti and the Fire-roasted Seafood Platter. The seafood platter was huge even though we got a small! Lots of lobster in my spaghetti so it wasn't a disappointment. A complimentary Blueberry Tart was brought out for my birthday. It was not too sweet due to the lemons. Our server was nice and since the weather sunny, we sat in the patio section. I enjoyed this meal and look forward to coming back again. read more

Amazing food. Amazing experience. Very slow service, but it is what it is. I loved the location, I loved the spot. The decorations and vibes were on. Definitely just do not come here if you are in a rush at all. I got a martini with feta stuffed olives of course! I also ordered a truffle pasta. What more could a girl ask for?! I will definitely be back! Perfect date night with the boyfriend! Adorable! read more

Went out with a group to Del Mar on Friday night and it did not disappoint! Oh it was so good! Split the large seafood platter with a friend. It included shrimp, lobster, scallops, clams, and mussels! We even got toasted bread to dip in the sauce! Delicious! We had hummus to start and it was fresh and the pita that came with it was hot fresh out of the oven! The strawberry lemonade to wash it all down was very tasty too! Our server was friendly and on top of everything! read more

My family & I stopped in for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the service was great. We tried a few different cocktails from the drink menu and they all tasted weird and were not very good. I don't know how a bar could make something as simple as a Bloody Mary or Espresso Martini unenjoyable (especially for me, an adult beverage enthusiast) yet somehow Del Mar accomplished it. Our appetizer was caramelized onion bread that came with a spread that included a lemon drizzle which was an incredibly confusing (and awful tasting) flavor combination. Nobody was really wowed by their entrees. I ordered the Lobster Scramble which was just some basic scrambled eggs with lobster meat on top and an arugula salad that covered the majority of the plate. People seem to enjoy Del Mars dinner entrees so I wouldn't write them off entirely but when it comes to brunch service, it's bold MISS in my opinion. read more

I think I had the best truffle pasta of my life here. Melt in the mouth, pillowy, truffly, delicious. The sangria carafe was yummy And definitely worth the price. Valet is simple and easy, servers are helpful and kind, The ambience is perfect, not too loud. Take a look at the dessert menu but was not impressed with the offerings. That would be my only negative here. The roasted cauliflower head as an appetizer is actually a meal on its own, so be careful if you order that as an individual order. I thought this would be fried cauliflower but this was actually a roasted cauliflower. But overall great experience. read more

First time at the Del Mar that's now in Easton. Not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. We sat upstairs- while the area looked lovely, the atmosphere was way too loud. My party had a hard time hearing each other over the music (which was not very tasteful pop music). Our service was less than ideal, and pales in comparison to other fine dining establishments in Columbus. For whatever reason, our server took forever to take our orders (almost 30 minutes between when we asked for a couple minutes for drinks and when he came back for the drink order). The food was also average at best. We enjoyed the hummus and lamb the most, followed by the squash side dish. Our friends got the snapper, which was very very dry. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it. Would not recommend that dish (which was actually recommended by the server over the other fish dish they were thinking of getting). My fiancé and I shared the ribeye, which was plenty of food for us, and decently cooked (medium rare). Our major gripe was that it wasn't warm. However, we didn't find anything special about it- he's made better steak at home. Our theory is that the food had been ready and waiting to be picked up for a while. It did take an unusual amount of time to receive our food. Finally, the broccolini was overly salted and kind of wet. I didn't enjoy it at all. Largely, a let down I would say. read more

First time here - came here after another place close by didn't take my order for nearly 8-min. I was welcomed promptly. Sat at the bar. All bartenders were immediate, helpful and attentive. Great atmosphere. It's beautiful in the bar area - haven't been anywhere else. Great! Pricing on the menu. Really great Happy Hour - lots of good options. Tonight I ate off the Happy Hour menu; gem salad (their take on Caesar, came with anchovies). Lamb meatballs - really good Dirty Martini I'd like to come back here and get something off the main menu - it's Cameron Mitchell so you can't go wrong with any dish. I really enjoyed the lively hood and the overall vibe of the place. They do have TVs at the bar area- two that face east and west. Worth checking out! read more

Review by :Avila.Eats on TikTok, insta, YouTube Service: All the staff are very friendly. I've been there a few times and have never had any issue. Water is always attentively filled, seated quickly, and waiters are always talkative and friendly. Atmosphere/Ambiance: The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Striking seating area and a beautiful bar. A very elegant and romantic setting for a nice dinner date or a quick lunch with a significant other. Truly stunning decor. Food: Branzino is delicious, truly the best I've had. Flaky, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the sides. Absolutely incredible dish. The olive mash potatoes were great. The simple salad was good, but paired with that citrus tangy lemon dressing made it heavenly and mixed with the fish and mash potatoes was truly a to die for bite every time. Filet mignon was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. For a Mediterranean favored place, they truly know how to make a quality steakhouse steak. Paired with the same sides as the Branzino it was a delicious entree. Lamb meatball flatbread is fantastic. Definitely a must grab appetizer. Delicious lamb meatballs on a crispy perfectly cooked dough with fresh cheese and perfectly seasoned. Lamb meatballs on their own is another incredible appetizer, strong lamb taste and the marinara is house made and a perfectly balanced sweet and savory. Onion pull apart bread is very good, a nice bread service although not complimentary. Dipping it in the yogurt sauce with olive oil is creamy and flavorful addition and a quality choice. Lobster spaghetti is incredible. Large pieces of lobster that melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked noodles topped with that house made marinara that was sweet and tangy. A very good dish and a definite recommendation for an entree. Ribeye was delicious. A lime like flavor paired with other seasonings and a perfect cook. This was a fantastic steak and the Veg it was paired with was amazing. I'd highly recommend. The salmon crudo is a great appetizer. Fresh and well flavored it is a perfect light bite to start the meal. The baklava is the special item here. Truly the best I've had and paired with that cold olive oil vanilla ice cream it is a match made in heaven. Crispy, crunchy, soft all in one bite with the warm baklava mixing with that cold melting ice cream it truly is a must order. Absolutely phenomenal. read more

What a great way to celebrate a birthday... Del Mar is an experience. The place is not cheap but it is a great experience. The restaurant has a cool lay out. We had dinner upstairs which was nice - it would be cool to have dinner in their outside seating area in the summer. The environment was just right - not too noisy but not to quiet either - the right amount of light. The staff was AWESOME - our waitress was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious everybody love their choices. The drinks were great. The deserts rocked... Del Mar is a great place for special occasions because it makes it memorable but is a little pricey for just regular dining. read more

When we decided to go to dinner, I found Del Mar on Yelp since it was close by and everyone in my party had not been here before. We all thought it was a little more casual dining, however entering the restaurant soon realized it was not too casual for Mediterranean food. We were seated upstairs. The restaurant was so beautiful inside, it had this tree that made it whimsical. Now onto the food! I ordered Seabass with a side of potatoes and OMG it was so good, I think about this meal all the time. Someone in my party got the lobster spaghetti and I was amazed that it actually looked like a lobster! The service was really great and the ambiance was amazing and the food was superb! read more

The food and atmosphere is excellent! We enjoyed our drinks and our meals as well as our appetizer, and I highly recommend the lobster pasta and the blueberry tart for dessert!

Went to Del Mar in Easton again, & this time for Dinner! We sat upstairs & the vibes were just as immaculate on the second floor as they are on the first; I love the aesthetic of this place! The service is top notch! I had to get my favorite starter with the loaded hummus, & the tzatziki was quite tasty as well! The lamb rack was cooked perfectly & the accompaniments it came with made for an incredibly well balanced dish; I highly recommend it! The cocktails were refreshing & I enjoyed the little twist on their old fashioned. Of course, if there's an olive oil cake on the menu at a CMR spot, I have to get it; it's the best way to end a delicious meal! read more

The restaurant is GORGEOUS inside and out, they have a second floor which is where we got seated by the window with a great view. It had a restoration hardware vibe to it. Very very well thought out floor plan and decor. The service was excellent and I would say the ambiance and service 5 star, the food for the price 3 star and that landed me on 4 stars. The Salmon crudo was solid, the lamb meatballs w wouldn't get again, kind of tough or snappy if that makes sense while bland. The mushroom truffle ravioli was awesome, the lobster spaghetti was just ok and at $60 should be really good. Salmon had some small bones in it, the pita was great, we did a few different dips selections and they also were very good. Overall for the price there is a lot of options in the area with a little better food but we will return for the ambiance and enjoy some small plates and drinks but not a full dinner. read more

I never thought I would describe a restaurant at Easton as dreamy... but here we are. Del Mar really makes you feel transported to another place, in the best way. The decor is very summer beach resort. I enjoyed sipping a "Beach Party" spritz cocktail and soaking up the atmosphere. Great people watching and the patio seating is perfect for summer. Downstairs is the main bar area and more buzzy. Upstairs seating is quieter, more romantic, more views overlooking the Easton fountain. The menu standouts were the Mediterranean inspired dishes. We loved the onion bread with creamy feta dip. The salmon entree was perfectly cooked. The roast chicken was a bit tough and not as successful, but the curried carrots on the side were really flavorful. The mocha torte was creamy deliciousness. I have not been the biggest fan of Cameron Mitchell food ventures of late, but they really got this one right. Loved it. read more

Another Cameron Mitchell restaurant with delicious food and wonderful service. If the weather is nice, highly recommend sitting upstairs. It's open air but also covered. The drink menu has lots of options, we opted for a beer and a gin and tonic, both were solid. Next we ordered the red pepper hummus and the bacon wrapped figs which we would go back for again and again. We decided to split the Branzino and we substited the roasted squash for the potatoes. The fish was cooked perfectly with wonderful flavors but I could've eaten an entire plate of that squash. read more

Been to the original Short North location and I loved it. So was super excited when I heard that they were moving to Easton location. From the service to the décor to the food was just fantastic. We ordered few things from here and everything was delicious. But my favorite is from the dessert section, the Olive Oil Cake, which is perfection. Its moist and just delicious. Other items that we ordered were the hummas, roasted cauliflower, lobster spaghetti and the snapper. Everything was packed with flavor. Nothing disappointed. Great place to meet up with friends and family or come with a date. Can't wait to go back and try other items from their menu. read more

This is one of my husband's absolute favorite restaurants. We both love the staff, the food, and the experience. It's not inexpensive and it's worth the treat. Go for one of their signature cocktails or a glass of wine. They have three or four different hummus options available you can order them with vegetables only v pita bread. I believe you get what you pay for so we will definitely be returning. read more

This was my first time visiting Del Mar Columbus. The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was full of flavor. We usually do not fancy higher priced restaurants because the food is normally bland and I leave hungry and wasting our money. That was not the case for Del Mar! I was highly impressed. The caramelized onion bread was a masterpiece. Its so soft and paired with the herb labneh (chefs kiss). Im drooling as I type this! Lol We got the Branzino and Salmon. Both delicious!

Ah, Del Mar... Where the mood is set by upbeat music, elegant vibes, and so much dim lighting you'll need a flashlight to read the menu! Let's start with the food. The jumbo shrimp at $5 per shrimp are impressive--plump, juicy, and flavorful. if you love bold flavors, don't miss the spicy feta--it's got that perfect heat with a creamy finish. If you're a spice lover, you'll be reaching for more pita, which, by the way, is made in-house, warm, thick, and doughy. Yum! Calamari? Thick, crunchy breading. And I mean thick! The garlic aioli was tasty, but the calamari itself was a bit of a letdown--kinda fishy, tough, and chewy. Now, the lobster spaghetti? Absolute winner. The lobster-shaped angel hair pasta was a fun little twist, and the sauce was chef's kiss--rich, flavorful, and the lobster itself was tender. The ribeye was a bit of a bummer, though. Definitely overcooked. The fries were perfect. Crispy with just the right amount of garlic aioli for dipping. Wine? I asked for a glass of Meiomi Pinot Noir and was advised that it was only available by the bottle. I didn't need a bottle so I asked for a glass of wine that was comparable to what I had requested. The twist? They gave me a 9 oz glass of Quilt Cabernet for $45 (the same cost of a bottle of Meiomi Pinot Noir). All in all, Del Mar is a solid choice if you're in the mood for a fun, elegant evening with great vibes and food that can make you overlook the dim lighting (and slightly questionable prices). Would I go back? Absolutely! read more

Tonight some buddies and I went out for my birthday. I've been wanting to try Del Mar so they let me pick the spot. Gorgeous restaurant. The vibe was spot on. One friend got fish while the rest of us had to try the lobster spaghetti. We ordered a Turkish flatbread to share while we waited. We loved it. I was personally loving my spaghetti, until I wasn't! I put a big piece of juicy lobster in my mouth only to have to spit it out. The whole table saw the look on my face when I bit down into a crunchy shell. GROSS! What kind of a high end restaurant sends out a lobster dish without checking to make sure there aren't shells in it?! It just ruined the experience for me. What made matters worse was Dewayne, our server, didn't seem to care. All I got was a "I'm sorry". I left so disappointed. This had the makings of a really good experience, but it ended on such a bad note. They don't even do anything for your birthday. As far as I'm concerned, there are other places who actually want my business more. I will have to think twice before coming back. read more

Ambiance was great. Came for Easter brunch--I think the logistics could have been improved for the reservation check in system. There were a lot of bodies waiting in the small area near the host desk and it was a little chaotic. Our server kept trying to bring us the wrong bottle of wine (we ordered a bottle of French bubbly and she kept coming back with a Riesling) so I am not sure if it was a disconnect or what. Eventually we received the correct bottle after taking the toast tab and pointing to the appropriate one on the POS. Our group enjoyed some small plates; the ceviche and the beet salad and hummus were all lovely. However, I ordered the kind of already overpriced lobster scramble. The portion was CRAZY. What I received was a 1.5" piece of lobster meat on top of what seemed to be less than one eggs' worth of pre blended egg. There was still liquid egg that hadn't been cooked in the pan and it was accompanied by three wedges of a Roma tomato with a handful of dressed arugula. For $29. I would hope at that price point, I would at least get 2 eggs worth. WILD. All in all, enjoyable experience but Cameron Mitchell should probably revise some of the portion sizes/menu items. And please, please, nobody order the lobster scramble and experience the same fate that I did. read more

I continue to remain impressed by Del Mar. i have now tried a few different dishes here and not been disappointed. During our latest visit, we ordered the baba ghanoush which was excellent, as was the roasted red pepper. The Turkish flat bread (with lamb sausage) was delicious. The snapper was cooked perfectly. The veal chop was outstanding. Very tender and flavorful. The service is excellent as always and the restaurant has an upscale but not stuffy ambiance. All in all 5 stars for me. read more

Bathroom was pristine and private. They have an electric changing table, can't comment on the use. Anyways this restaurant is great. We went in the evening and the ambience was dark and moody. Perfect for romantic dates or an evening out with your partner. I'm not super well-versed in Mediterranean food, but I can easily say this place slaps. Starting with the appetizers, the Hummus was creamy with great consistency. The pita was fresh and extra fluffy! We made the mistake of getting both Pita and Caramelized Onion Bread (you certainly only need one of those) but they were fantastic. The calamari was also very well balanced on its degree of chewy and crunchiness, the herb sauce was a great pairing. Then the filet was made just at the right consistency I asked for (medium rare gang) with a perfect amount of crisp and char on the meat that rubbed off on the paired borccolini and garlic clove. I was shocked at how that smoky edge really enhanced the flavor. The lobster spaghetti was great and they certainly don't short you on the lobster component. When all was said and done the bill came out to ~$200 so this luxury meal comes with a luxury price. Overall I'd give it a 4.2/5. Cameron Mitchell does it again! read more
