What an exquisite dinner. I don’t think that I have had a better dinner in a long time, and great company too! We chose Cameron’s American Bistro for a couple of reasons. I have eaten there before and love their food. Also, they have a gluten-free menu & as most Cameron Mitchell restaurants, they are well versed on the gluten-free diet.
From Cameron’s website:
An American road trip for your palate, Cameron’s American Bistro brings home to Columbus delicious dishes familiar and unfamiliar, from places coastal and landlocked.
Scallops from the Bay Area. Duckling from Indiana. Low country shrimp and grits. Local beef, pork and poultry. It’s ever changing, and brought to Columbus by some of America’s finest chefs, that has inspired a loyal following of diners at this neighborhood favorite and original Cameron Mitchell Restaurant.
We started with a nice bottle of Chateau St. Michelle Riesling. This wine is the perfect pairing for seafood. The wine has a very slight sweet, but crisp taste. We both really enjoyed this wine. For our salads, we both ordered the Chop Chop salad. The salad is a wonderful combination of field greens, asparagus, sweet corn, hard boiled egg, smoked bacon, gorgonzola, red onions, grape tomatoes, dried cherries and golden balsamic vinaigrette. The combinations of all of these different flavors went together so well. The smoky bacon flavor paired with the tart sweetness of the cherries & corn really made this salad.
Blackened Scallops Special
For dinner I ordered the special of the night – blackened sea scallops served with goat cheese & thyme Yukon mashed potatoes, broccoli rabe & a whole grain mustard cream sauce. Our very knowledgeable server, Christy, was quick to mention that she would check with the chef to see if the special was gluten-free. Indeed, it was gluten-free. I have one word. E.X.Q.U.I.S.I.T.E. I have always been a fan of scallops and these were done perfectly. Not overly seasoned & so tender. The mashed potatoes were to die for. They were so creamy & flavorful. I had never tried broccoli rabe before and I loved it!! Almost a cross between broccoli & asparagus. The whole grain mustard cream sauce was the perfect way to finish off this dish.
Meyer Lemon Gratin
For dessert there were 2 gluten-free choices on the menu – CLASSIC CRÈME BRÛLÉE (Chantilly cream and seasonal berries) or MEYER LEMON GRATIN (Lemon cream and raspberries). We decided to split the Meyer Lemon Gratin. The dessert came out & looked so enticing! The top was a crisp sugar that had been torched like a creme brulee; the middle was an amazing lemon cream that reminded me of a crustless cheesecake. Best dessert I think I have had in a long time.
I highly recommend Cameron’s American Bistro to anyone and especially to those needing to eat gluten-free.
