A few years ago we decided to take our family to Lola and Giuseppe's for a Christmas dinner. It…read morewas the most wonderful experience! The place is all atmosphere bustling with servers and clanging in the kitchen. The noise can be a bit intense so if you have children bothered by too much noise that may be a concern. We decided to return to L&G's for my birthday recently after not having been back for awhile. The menu had changed quite a bit, but I remained hopeful. I also noticed that there were now bathrooms in the dining area, and previously you had to walk through the kitchen to get to a restroom. I have to admit I kind of liked taking a look back there and having a good excuse to do so. So cut to present, and the food. We ordered the Pera Noce Salad to start. It was one of the best salads I've ever had. The caramelized pears were delicious and slightly sweet and went perfectly with the port wine vinaigrette. Honestly the salad I would return for any day. I ordered the Rosa cream pasta for my entree. It was very good, but there wasn't much that was exciting about it. It was a well prepared dish, but just didn't have a wow factor. I would definitely go back and try another pasta dish and order the salad again. I do have to point out one thing I found odd. It seemed that they were serving frozen garlic bread. I am no chef, but it seems odd to me. In a place that has built its reputation on delicious freshly made from scratch dishes I feel like there should be a scratch made fresh bread. But I am a sucker for good bread. Other than that I have to say this place is wonderful! Some things to keep in mind if you plan to go are the noise factor, and the very cozy accommodations. It's small guys! But good news...In summer months they do have patio seating!

Cut the cake, made sure the fruit tray was well stocked, helped serve the mimosas. Whatever I wasn't aware of what needed to be tended to, Jessica was already doing it! The day was so much easier because of her customer service!

She was always attentive and answered what felt like the thousands of questions that I had throughout the planning and coordinating process. Emelio's worked with us to create a custom menu using foods that we had eaten during our engagement dinner as inspiration. Aside from being great to work with, the food was incredible. It far exceeded my expectations, especially being on the lower end of the budget compared to other companies that we got quotes from. If I ever have a need for catering service again, I would most definitely have Emelio's again.

I honestly can't rate them high enough.

While we are not usual fans of German cuisine, Schmidt's won us over with very flavorful dishes including spicy links and the best German potato salad (served warm) that we can remember.

Baking macarons is a tricky thing and Damaris did such a good job breaking down all the steps. She gave us lots of tips and tricks for our home baking, and you can see her passion for what she does. That said, I have been to several of the cooking schools in Columbus and this was my least favorite overall attendee experience. It was more expensive, yet very "basic" for lack of a better word. All of the cooking classes I have attended come with some kind of amenities - a welcome cocktail, wine bar, cheese and crackers, hot coffee/tea, etc. Something. This class was three hours long and there was nothing offered but water and iced tea (on a 20 degree day). We also did not receive any kind of information prior to the class, so parking was like solving a mystery (hint: the parking lot is behind the house down a side alleyway)
