Reviews Harvey & Eds

Food was great and atmosphere was fun. It was really loud so be prepared for that. The fried olives are my new favorite appetizer in the city and both the Pastrami and Corned Beef were extremely tender. We will definitely go back.

Wow!! This may be my new best Deli in town! (Danny's watch out!) I went with a friend and he ordered the Reuben and I ordered the Pastrami Sandwich and we were impressed by both. I would say that Danny's might have a better pastrami, but then you add the chopped liver to H&E's and it stands tall above the competition! :) Our starter was the fantastic lamb stuffed green olives that were then deep fried! My side was a great potato salad and my friend got a simply lush potato latka with applesauce on the side. Oh and did I mention the pickles that come with the sandwiches? wonderful dill and a sweet and spicy pickle that really hit the spot. The portions were correct and we walked away satisfied. I will be coming back!

Another great experience from Cameron Mitchell! Stop in for a birthday celebration and I must say it did not disappoint. We started off with the Latke Royale and Smoked Whitefish Chowder. The cured salmon and caviar made the latke extremely decadent and savory but was nicely balanced with a creme fraiche sauce and green apples. The chowder had an extremely smoky aroma which I thought would overpower the soup, but once we ate it, it was surprisingly balanced and delicious. Since this is Cameron Mitchell’s take on a Jewish Deli, we had to try a smoked fish. We went with the Kippered Salmon and WOW. This was our favorite dish of the night. We got it with a Block’s everything bagel and we devoured it up! This hit all the right notes and had all the traditional accompaniments. We’ll definitely return here just to get this again and to try the other smoked and cured fish. For our entrees, we got the Roasted Halibut and the Pastrami Sandwich. Not to be too hyperbolic, but the halibut was one of the best fish dishes we’ve had in Columbus! Soft and buttery flesh with a nicely seared and crisp skin. It was served with a slightly spicy mixture of raisins, almonds, potatoes, and peas which balanced the richness of the halibut nicely. Would definitely recommend. The Pastrami Sandwich with chopped liver was fairly good. Before ordering we asked if it was made in house but we were told it was made by a deli in Detroit which was a little disappointing but we decided to try it anyway. It was served with a side of fries and a bottle of mustard. The chopped liver and generous squirts of mustard definitely elevated the sandwich a bit. But at $15 and not being made on premises, it’s not something we’d get again when there’s so many other wonderful options. For dessert, we got the Cheese Blintz. It was a nice end to the meal. The perfect ended to a nice summer meal. It was light and slightly sweet with a good acidic kick from the fresh berries. During the meal we also ordered a few cocktails. The standout was definitely the Negroni. It comes in a sealed metal tin which the server opens up and pours over an ice cube. Apparently it’s served this way purely for the presentation (aka social media) and does not contribute much to the flavor. But overall it was a nicely balanced and flavorful cocktail. Additionally we got the Ed’s Martini, Manhattan, and A Real Mensch which weren’t anything special. So we were a little disappointed on the cocktail front. Overall this was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend everyone to try it out!

This is a fun place. We went for lunch. They have old(er) school music playing and dishes like meatloaf, pickled herring (was amazing), cabbage rolls, baked califlower, latkes and salmon, and roasted brussel sprouts . The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with old wood floors and a marble bar top. There are a variety of cocktails too.

Like all CM places, the location, decor, food, and staff are worth your money. Gluten free clearly marked in main menu and tons of it actually while still offering bagels and buns with wheat that are local I believe. Crazy-nice happy hour situation, and actually have interesting cocktails you haven't tried 18 variations of. The food was seriously good, ranking second on my CM list right after Marchellas. Vibe was right there and even when crowded, the whole place felt nice.
