    We have had the shellfish platter multiple times. The first several times the lobster tails were fresh and sweet- just perfect. And the shrimp were excellent also. The today and the last few times the lobster tail’s have been tough and not sweet like the first times. Also we only got two shrimp today both tough and not sweet. In the past we thought we got at least four shrimp in the small shellfish platter multiple times. We will return but eat something else on the menu. Lastly the bacon rapped dates were good

    Del Mar Easton opened a few years back but have just now gotten around to giving it a try. To start with all of the positives, the ambiance is almost top tier. The lighting is beautiful, along with the furniture, lovely patio upstairs and down, very cozy up-scale vibe. Easton is back on the up and up and this place is the perfect setting for a date night, elevated dinner out, or a spot for evening cocktails. The service is also above average for the central Ohio area. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, ready to make suggestions based off of your personal taste, and happily ready to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Now I want to preface the negatives by saying this place charges a heftyyyy premium compared to similar restaurants in the same style. That is completely fine, but with that, I feel like you expect a higher caliber experience. Firstly, the food in my opinion was very basically average. The highlight of everything was the braised lamb in the loaded hummus. The hummus itself was fine, but nothing close to the Columbus staples like Lavash. They also made a point to mention how the pita was made in house, but it was also not up to par with several Columbus Mediterranean markets. The ceviche was also just okay, personally felt like it was lacking in flavor. While the scallops themselves were fine, the 4 small pieces were accompanied by a very plain red pepper puree, a small bit of plain couscous, and a few pieces of romanesco that just tasted like steamed broccoli. The pacing was also a tad bit frustrating, with several minute gaps in between drinks ordered at the same time making it to the table. The Spanish G&T was also a miss at $17, thought the fever tree bottle of tonic water left at the table was a nice touch, just tasted like a regular gin and tonic. Espresso martini also was not the same as other CMR restaurants, but I guess that’s a personal preference thing. Overall the place is nice and pretty and has a nice vibe, but not sold on the prices matching the overall experience, especially when this brand has some really great restaurants in the Columbus area.

    Beautiful atmosphere with lots of greenery. There is 2 levels with options of booths or tables. I attended for happy hour, when adult beverages are 50% off and appetizers are $5 off. The server was very attentive and pleasant. The perfect place to dine when the weather is nice, sitting on on the patio on the lower level or on the 2nd floor which appears as a balcony almost.

    As soon as I walked in the door. I got greeted and seated right away. The table presentation is beautiful. Glass cups, glass patterned plates, shiny silverware and a clothe napkin, just so beautiful. Server was at my table waiting with water option filtered or sparkling. I choose filtered. She filled our glasses and left the pitcher of water on the table. Even though the pitcher of water was on the table I never once had to refill my glass because she would fill it for me. I was thinking to myself wow this is really good service. Now for the food, first we started off with grill cauliflower and a veggie bowl with spicy feta. The veggies was fresh and crisp and the grilled cauliflower that was grilled perfectly. It was delicious. Then we order our main dish. I order salmon with grilled cauliflower and red grapes and my partner order the steak kabobs that comes with a small side salad. The salmon was cooked to perfection with the right amount of seasoning it was out of this world good and the grilled grapes I thought would hate were surprisingly delicious never ever have I eaten grilled grapes. My partners steak kabobs was tender and juicy and the salad with the mint dressing. I have to say even though it’s a bit pricy it is worth every penny and I would gladly spend the money to eat there. Also i liked that they took the time to think about women and personal emergencies that might happen. I go the restroom to find they have women hygiene products for those little life emergency. How thoughtful and thank you.
