    Dixie Pan Fried Chicken
    Anita S.

    We've been regulars here ever since they opened in the '90s and even though the menu has changed over the years the service and quality haven't. James and Carl greet people by name and they both are great behind the bar. The walleye is exceptional and my husband alternates between the hamburger and the chicken. Cocktails are their twists on the standards. Only thing I wish they had was a patio but it's easy to hear people talking because the seating is more intimate. The bar is great if you want to get a quick meal.

    We've been coming for thirty years and it's always a pleasure. Great menu, great food, great drinks and wine list. Always great service and always excellent bathrooms. Thanks for both! Prices are at a new level, but everything else remains constant. Dinner only. Make a Rez!

    The food at Cameron's is amazing! This is my third time going and I've never had a bad experience. Our server, Mohammad was very attentive and kind. He gave us plenty of space to enjoy our food and was great! The interior is pictured. Tonight I tried the Seared Duck Breast. It was delicious, and I really enjoyed it. My mom had the Scallops which she loved. We enjoyed splitting a bottle of Oberon and Calamari. The soup of the day was Italian Tomato which was very flavorful! Can't wait to go back!

    I am so happy that I went to Cameron's American Bistro in Linworth and it was Cameron Mitchell's first restaurant. My friend and I had the half Braised Short Rib and half fried chicken each. That was very delicious. The short rib had the mashed potato with special gravy and broccoli while the fried chicken had German Potato Salad and chicken gravy. The dessert was Johnson's Real Vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauce and sweet pecans was decadent. Joely was our server, and she is very sweet and knowledgeable about the food and dishes she recommended. I would love to have her again as my server. I enjoyed the the ambiance of Cameron's American Bistro. I will be going back to Cameron's soon for dinner. Thank you.

    Duck breast
    Tristan T.

    Visited Cameron's for the first time this evening and we were very impressed. Immediately walking in the door the greetings were pleasant and the service throughout our dinner was immaculate. I had the scallops and my husband had the duck breast. We both couldn't stop talking about how delicious each bite was. The sourdough bread service with butter and roasted garlic made the experience even better. Though it was a bit pricy, it was worth it for the amazing food and service, and honestly the portions were good! I would definitely visit Cameron's again for a fancy date night or special occasion.

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been so many times! The service is always great! It's a great place to bring work clients or go out with my husband. Everything on the menu is good! I've had almost all items and haven't found anything I don't like. Ambiance is casual but nice! I'll be back for sure. .)

    Pork chop with clams
    Cheryl B.

    Great food, good service, nice atmosphere! Pricey, but worth every penny. This is the second time I've selected Cameron's for my anniversary dinner spot. I was not disappointed. I ordered the pork chops with clams. My clams were delicious! Our two seater table by the windows was a little cramped. Every time the person behind me moved his chair would hit my back. He apologized, it was just a tight fit. The same thing happened with my husband and the person behind him. Looking forward to returning again.

    Sandy W.

    Apparently this was Cameron Mitchell first restaurant, according to our server Jen. Atmosphere is classy and pricey. Service was outstanding! The bread with roasted garlic was amazing! Hubby ordered the pea soup as a appetizer which I tasted and it was delicious. I ordered the duck with cherry glaze, sweet potatoes and greens. Portion allowed me to take home leftovers for lunch the next day. The Carmel banana bread pudding was amazing too.

    Gluten-Free Meyer Lemon Gratin
    Katie N.

    I've been to Cameron's American Bistro a few times and have never had a complaint- service is always stellar, good food and drinks, nice atmosphere, definitely a good choice for fancier dinner out. But I want to talk about one thing specifically today- the best dessert I've EVER HAD at a restaurant. I didn't want to talk about it for awhile, because I was being selfish and didn't want for word to get out about it, causing a mad rush to go and get it. That's right- I wanted it for myself. But in the spirit of the holidays I've decided to not be a jerk. So here it is- the best dessert ever, which is not chocolate (surprisingly since I thought chocolate was my one true love)- the Meyer MyerLemon Gratin. Gluten free (but my boyfriend agrees this didn't affect the taste at all, and allowed me to eat it), texture like a cheesecake, just the right about of tartness, the crisp cookie crust, yummy fruit compote. I'm drooling thinking about it. Don't judge me if you see me there at a table by myself with several of these dessert on the table. It's that good.

    Fried Chicken
    Diana P.

    This restaurant is quite small, as it's only one room, but it's quite nice! Friendly hosts and servers. The seating is pretty tight and you'll probably overhear your neighbors conversations, but it's still pleasant. We went for dinner during Restaurant Week. Complimentary bread is served with garlic and a cup of whipped butter. The bread was very fresh. Steam was rising as I ripped pieces off. Can't say I loved the garlic, but the butter was fine. For my meal, I started with lamb meatballs. I was pleased with the amount I received! They were soft and light. The cheese and sauce were delicious. I kept scooping up the sauce after I finished. Lol. I then had the fried chicken, which came with potatoes and green beans. The chicken was great! It was tender and the breading wasn't too heavy. I enjoyed the entire dish, but my one complaint was that it's salty! The salt could have been reduced by half and been sufficient. I saved half of the meal so I could make room for the banana foster bread pudding, even though I still couldn't finish the dessert! The ice cream combined with the bread pudding was excellent. Fantastic dessert. I love that they support local business by using Johnson's Real ice cream too. Overall, I had a good experience. I saw the regular menu prices and they're definitely out of my normal price range. I'd recommend dining here during Restaurant Week if you're trying to save some money but still have a high class meal!

This visit, I met up with a friend who lives in Old Worthington, and naturally this was our choice. There are lots of good food options around, but Worthington Tavern has a great patio, good service, delicious food, and is a solid choice. I made a reservation via OpenTable. Definitely recommended during lunch and dinner rushed. My friend got caught up with a work emergency and was running late, but there was no issue with me hanging out until she arrived. We hadn't caught up in a year or so, so it was great to sit outside on the patio and enjoy lunch and catch up. I had the Mezzaluna Ravioli with seasonal mushrooms, shallot, thyme, brie cream sauce, and fresh grated Parmesan. Delicious! Recommend this completely and might be my favorite dish I have had here. My friend had the Baby Iceberg Wedge and added grilled salmon. Kudos to our server, Emily. Service is always good here but she was exceptional and added to the visit. 5 stars this visit!

There are three different areas to sit: the back patio, inside, or the front patio. All three areas are beautiful, and the overall atmosphere was such a chill vibe. Our waitress was a little slow, and it was sometimes difficult to get water refills, but it seemed like she was one of the only servers working, so I completely understood. My friend and I split everything we ordered. We started with the smoked chicken wings with blue cheese and celery. The wings were delicious, although the celery came in very small, thin pieces. I would have preferred actual celery sticks. We also ordered the Honey Brussels Sprouts, which were my favorite dish of the night. They were so good and definitely something I would order again. For pizza, we got the Caprese Pizza with homemade pizza sauce, fresh-sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze. It was absolutely delicious and tasted very fresh. We made our reservation for 7:30 so we could stay and listen to the live acoustic guitar player at 9:30. That ended up being a little late for us, so we moved inside to watch him perform. It was a great way to end the night. Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience at Worthington Tavern. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed, and it would be a great place to come with a group of friends. I will definitely be back!

I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done.

The small cozy atmosphere was a delight to enjoy a wonderful meal and conversation. The drinks were exceptionally great and since I'm coming from California, very affordable. The food was delicious, especially the braised beef croquets, chicken friend mushrooms, whipped ricotta, and sourdough. The pork collar and the tare squash were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I requested the sommelier to recommend a wine that would compliment our order and the Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf - du- Pape a fine French wine from the Rhone Valley was our selection. This was a beautiful bottle and fine selection. John, our server was the perfect gentlemen and server with great personality and full of customer service.

This restaurant should be a landmark in Powell and no one could change my mind.

    I stopped by here a couple nights ago with one of my coworkers while on an out-of-town work trip…read more Despite being a Monday, the place was actually pretty busy. Regardless, we were seated right away. We were given a spot at a high top inside but adjacent to the open windows for some fresh evening air and a nice cooling breeze. Unfortunately, service throughout the night was a little spotty. The first round of drinks took a while to come out, the app went missing, our server (who seemed slightly less than enthused all night) took the liberty of snagging an extra one for us, and then our entrees came out right at the same time. I started with the sunrise mojito. Being a bit of a rum snob, I am particularly picky when it comes to rum-based drinks and this one did not disappoint. Probably one of the best takes on a mojito I've had in quite a while. I eventually followed that up with the peach bourbon smash, which was also tasty but pretty heavy on the peach and less on the bourbon. To get started on food, we ordered the street corn nachos. Now, I do love street corn, but something about corn on top of nachos on paper doesn't exactly sound like my personal first choice. However, since my coworker was putting the food on his company card, he went that route. Man, what a mistake I made in my assumption. Absolutely amazing. Gooey cheese, excellent flavors, and not too much to fill you up. My coworker got the shrimp capellini, which looked excellent and he agreed it was solid. I opted for the crispy chicken sandwich (a gochujang aioli? Come on). The sandwich was delicious. The chicken was indeed crispy but also quite juicy. The fries were also delicious being slightly soft, slightly crisp, and not too salty. All in all, a couple service hiccups aside, this was a really fantastic place. I definitely will be sure to make my way back here if I find myself on another work trip for sure!
