Another perfect Cameron Mitchell experience!…read more Stopped in here a few weeks back for a work dinner and was amazed as always with the CM brand. We were seated in the event room which gave our work dinner a great vibe and allowed us to have a great conversation. Our server was very friendly and attentive as well. Dinner itself was delicious, had the sea bass which I heavily recommend. We also ordered several apps (not pictured) all of which I enjoyed as well. Side note- there's plenty of parking in the back garage. Definitely will be back here!

Stopped by Firebirds Wood Fired Grill in New Albany for lunch and had an excellent experience. I…read moreordered the Grilled Salmon Salad, which came with perfectly wood-grilled salmon, fresh mixed greens, tomatoes, candied spiced pecans, and jicama, topped with the cilantro lime vinaigrette. It was a generous portion, fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. The complimentary bread was absolutely amazing and worth mentioning on its own. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. Our server introduced himself by name and took the time to learn our names as well. That personal touch made us feel genuinely welcomed, and throughout the meal he consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. It's that level of attention to detail and genuine hospitality that turns a good meal into a great dining experience. If you're looking for a place with excellent food, generous portions, and outstanding service, Firebirds in New Albany is definitely worth a visit. (Firebirds Wood Fired Grill)

Our family group of six stopped in for a day before Father's Day lunch, because we thought they…read morecould accommodate a variety of tastes. We were spot on in our assessment! Our table had onion rings and deviled eggs for appetizers. Our main courses were: sausage gravy and biscuit (from the brunch menu), chicken skewers over a pilaf of ancient grains, a chicken sandwich with some of the best fries around, an eye popping huge ribeye steak and a simple grilled small grilled sirloin. It was all excellent except for my small steak which I had requested it to be medium rare. It came bordering on well done in spots. I rarely send anything back to the kitchen, but this was the exception. Our charming waiter, Brendon took at my plate and whisked it away. It took a while for my lunch to come back, so I mooched off every plate at our table. It was all good, even the chicken breast which is not my favorite. However, the big winner was my grandson's wood fire grilled rib eye, which was done a juicy and flavorful medium rare. Wow! The restaurant manager personally brought out my fresh and perfectly medium rare steak, which was fanned out in lovely tender thin slices. It came out on a fresh plate with fresh silverware and a fresh baked potato, mushrooms and a compound butter. I could taste the wood fire grill. Delicious! To me, mistakes can be made, but how a place recovers to the customers satisfaction is the true measure of a restaurant. There was also some comping involved, which was a nice surprise, but getting the perfect meal was the reward! We are already planning our next visit to this lovely newer addition to N. Hamilton Road.

Yesterday, while my wife and I were out running errands, we started looking for a place to grab…read morelunch. I love trying new restaurants instead of the same old chain spots, and we happened to come across Café Zupas. Their sign said "Soup, Salad & Sandwich Kitchen," and since those are three of my favorite things, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was bright, clean, and very welcoming. The menu boards had beautiful photos of the food, which definitely caught our attention. My only small complaint is that the menu doesn't include descriptions of what's on each sandwich or salad. Thankfully, the young lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. She even shared her two favorite menu items and explained them in detail. She recommended the Brisket Grilled Cheese with smoked brisket, provolone and Muenster cheese, sliced tomato, BBQ sauce, all served on ciabatta bread, along with the Chicken Chipotle Salad loaded with fresh mixed greens, roasted chicken, red onions, tomatoes, fire-roasted corn, black beans, tri-colored peppers, cheddar cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, chipotle ranch, and a honey cilantro glaze. Both sounded too good to pass up, so I ordered the "Try Two" combo, which includes a full sandwich and your choice of a half soup or half salad. Let me tell you... these are NOT normal half portions! My meal was enormous. As an added bonus, every meal came with a warm roll and a complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberry. I also grabbed a lemonade to wash everything down. The presentation was fantastic, and as a former chef, it takes a lot to impress me. But wow... I was genuinely surprised. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, with layers of flavor in every bite. The brisket grilled cheese was outstanding, and the Chicken Chipotle Salad was packed with fresh ingredients and had just the right amount of kick. The warm roll and chocolate-covered strawberry were such thoughtful finishing touches that made the experience feel even more special. My wife ordered the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich with the Tomato Bisque, and she loved every bite. Before we left, the manager mentioned that everything is made from scratch in their open-concept kitchen, which made perfect sense after tasting the food. It's not often we discover a restaurant that checks every box--friendly staff, fresh made-from-scratch food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere--but Café Zupas absolutely did. We may have just found our new favorite lunch spot, and I can honestly say I'll be back again and again. Highly recommended!

First Visit--Impressed!…read more My husband and I visited the Chicken Salad Chick on N. Hamilton Rd. in New Albany, and we had an excellent meal. I ordered the Two Scoops and Two Sides. I tried one savory option and the Classic with pickles--both were delicious! A nice touch was getting a pickle spear on the side. For my sides: * Pasta Salad - Really good with a herb flavor that stood out * Fruit Salad - Fresh and refreshing, a nice lighter option My husband had the Croissant Chicken Melt Sandwich, which he said was fantastic. To top it off, the meal came with a Cheryl's Cookie--an unexpected delight to end the meal. Given how menu prices are these days, I'll admit I've been disappointed by other chain restaurants quite a few times. But this being my first visit to Chicken Salad Chick, I'm honestly impressed. Solid value and great service. I think I'm a fan! Highly recommend checking out the New Albany location if you're in the area.

The dining room feels overcrowded because the tables are placed extremely close together. My wife and I were seated at a table for two beside a table for four, and the proximity was so close that we felt uncomfortable, almost as though we were part of their dinner conversation. While I appreciate the business realities of running a restaurant, guest comfort should also be a priority. Reducing the number of tables slightly could make a dramatic difference. Considering that several booths were unoccupied between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night, despite being told reservations had the restaurant quite busy, it seems like a reasonable adjustment.
