    I must say I’ve traveled all over and I’ve experienced some fabulous restaurants, Butcher & Rose surpassed all my expectations (minus the subpar service). The menu is unique, the atmosphere is unreal. I would say it is a must if you’re anywhere near the Columbus area. Cameron Mitchell Restaurants are always amazing but this one has stolen my heart. I will be back.

    A beautiful space in the heart of the short north in Columbus. Our waiter Christian was welcoming and gracious and helped us make food and drink selections. We didn't want for a thing. Our oysters were meticulously prepared, lobster tail fresh and broiled perfectly and my burger was smoky and juicy and really memorable. We got Margaritas and an Old Fasioned that started the meal off wonderfully

    It was very nice, we had an anniversary lunch, it could not have been better. The food was delicious, I have not been in for lunch and I enjoyed the menu. Our server as well as the other staff members were on point. At least 4 people wished us a happy anniversary. I have always loved Lindeys but this visit was the best yet. Thank you

    Went here for a birthday dinner with two children in tow. Food was delicious. Music was very loud - felt like we were at a club. Service was quite slow after we were served our food (ie. Waiting for the check and a box). Decently family friendly with crayons and a kids menu but be prepared for loud music
