Del Mar

I continue to remain impressed by Del Mar. i have now tried a few different dishes here and not been disappointed. During our latest visit, we ordered the baba ghanoush which was excellent, as was the roasted red pepper. The Turkish flat bread (with lamb sausage) was delicious. The snapper was cooked perfectly. The veal chop was outstanding. Very tender and flavorful. The service is excellent as always and the restaurant has an upscale but not stuffy ambiance. All in all 5 stars for me.

Stopped in for happy hour on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is clean and I love the decor and remodel. Nice restrooms as well. The downstairs was a little dark for us aging and we needed to use light from our phones to see the menus. The upstairs is gorgeous with lots of natural light. They also have private dining areas and patio seating. Service was great. Our waitress was attentive and professional. As was the host and everyone else.We opted for the spicy feta, lamb meatball flatbread, oysters and the Serrano jamon. The presentation of the pita for the spicy feta was very nice. I'm just returning from a three week trip to the Mediterranean and really wanted those flavors and felt that I did not get it on this visit. I will try another visit when I can experience a proper meal.

Tonight some buddies and I went out for my birthday. I've been wanting to try Del Mar so they let me pick the spot. Gorgeous restaurant. The vibe was spot on. One friend got fish while the rest of us had to try the lobster spaghetti. We ordered a Turkish flatbread to share while we waited. We loved it. I was personally loving my spaghetti, until I wasn't! I put a big piece of juicy lobster in my mouth only to have to spit it out. The whole table saw the look on my face when I bit down into a crunchy shell. GROSS! What kind of a high end restaurant sends out a lobster dish without checking to make sure there aren't shells in it?! It just ruined the experience for me. What made matters worse was Dewayne, our server, didn't seem to care. All I got was a "I'm sorry". I left so disappointed. This had the makings of a really good experience, but it ended on such a bad note. They don't even do anything for your birthday. As far as I'm concerned, there are other places who actually want my business more. I will have to think twice before coming back.

I have waited so long to go here and now all I can think about is when am I coming again!!! This is absolutely one of my favorite spots for a great Mediterranean dining experience in Columbus area. The restaurant is inside Easton center town, making it easy to park around. The inside is beautifully decorated and is perfect for both a work/lunch vibe as a romantic evening. We went for lunch and their menu features many shareable options that is a lovely way to start a Mediterranean meal. We all ordered different main course plates and all were tasteful and satisfied with portion size. Can't wait to try brunch and dinner menu. Prices are reasonable and in line with top quality of ingredients.

I recently dined at Del Mar during their Restaurant Week, which offered a three-course meal for $50. The ambiance was exceptional, giving off that luxurious and fancy vibe you often crave for a special evening out. The service was superb, attentive, and friendly, which always sets a positive tone.However, when it comes to the food, it was good but nothing particularly extraordinary. The original menu prices were quite shocking, especially considering the quality and portions. For instance, a $15 tomato salad turned out to be just a few tomatoes with a couple of vegetables, which seemed overpriced to me. The drinks were also on the higher side at $18 each and were nothing special. Overall, I'd recommend Del Mar for their Restaurant Week deals as they offer better value. However, if you're thinking of dining here during regular times, be prepared for prices that might not fully justify the culinary experience.

Came here to celebrate a birthday over brunch! The restaurant is really beautiful, and overall the brunch was great.Smoked salmon with the homemade bagels- which were really delicious- could have done with just a little bit more labneh and smoked salmon but still a delicious meal. Oysters were all fresh and tasty!The chocolate cake was really special, normally desserts don't blow me away but even the whipped cream was clearly homemade. Bonus points!! Overall a good brunch experience, looking forward to returning!

The lobster spaghetti is one of the best flavors I've ever had. The flavor was so extraordinarily filled with butter, but there was no buttery residue, the lobster was perfectly cooked, and the spaghetti in sauce was the excellent combination. I will crave this forever. I sat at the upstairs bar where the bartender was so nice with such an easy conversation. What a wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing salad for a vegetarian I was so full without adding any protein! And the bread is a weekend only menu item so it was totally worth getting that morning. Ambiance was great it felt like an upscale hotel and service was great. Would go back in a heart beat!

Seafood platter ($68 for small) - was a good mix of seafood (lobster, shrimp, scallop, clam, and mussel). It came simmering in a good sauce as well, which is delicious paired with the bread that comes with it! Mushroom flatbread ($14) - was balanced and flavorfulOysters ($4 each) - were good, but probably a bit steep of a price tag for the sizeLobster spaghetti ($57) - very very good. The lobster was super tender, and the pasta was flavored very well with the Calabrian chilis. Definitely would recommend! Snapper ($47) - cooked well, with a nice balance of flavor. I like that it came with eggplant, artichoke, and cherry tomatoes! Branzino ($55 for half) - very soft and tender. Came with smashed potatoes Turkish coffee mousse ($14) - was absolutely delicious! If you like chocolate, I would highly recommend! It has a more brownie/cake layer, and a nice mousse layer as well. Their whipped cream was also really good! Overall I liked the quality of the food, and loved that none of it was overly salty (which sometimes happens with seafood). If I had to recommend one thing, it would definitely be the lobster pasta! The service was also good, and the ambiance great! Also if you have small children, they have nice changing stations in the bathroom (I think they're in the first two bathrooms? I definitely know it's in the first one).

I am really bumped out about this time coming to Del Mar. And don't take me wrong. The place is super nice and updated. I believe number of dishes on the menu are reasonable because you know you are getting good quality, and of course, if you are coming to these kind of restaurants, you are expecting high prices since this is a fine dining experience. But after I ate my meal, I believe it's way too pricey for what I got. My fish was lacking flavor, the presentation was subtle and dedicate, but I was expecting a more flavorful fish, I believe the cauliflower tasted way better than the fish, which gives you an idea how it tasted. The service was up the expectations, the ambience is relaxing and neat. Will I come back? I think this was my second and last time coming here. I can't say that won't come back, but it's likely it won't be anytime soon.
