M restaurant-Cameron Mitchell

So today started my own Taste of Columbus. I did research and got what the Dispatch considers the top 20 restuarants of Columbus Ohio. First spot was M. It is located in the Miranova building downtown. Honestly up until this week I had no idea the place existed. It took me a while to find it nestled securely behind the courthouse. My daughter got lost as well and she is not as nice as I so she arrived cranky and fussing at the poor valet. We walked in and the mood instantly changed. The decor was just right elegant but comfortable. Michelle was our server at the bar. We met a great group of regulars. I started off with the Kobe mini burgers and Shiraz. Our bar neighbors were kind enough to let us try their martini that looked divine. It was a black orchid martini. It had a black orchid frozen inside a block of ice. I then had the shrimp again which is just insane. The chili sauce and the batter around the shrimp made me think of exotic places. This restaurant gets a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. I will be back.
