    Nomad is one of our “go to” spots. Staff is always welcoming, drinks and food are well thought out and well cooked. Love what they do with the Josper oven (especially the vegetables).

    Jolene , or Joe as she asked us to call her, was our server last night and was so very attentive, courteous and wonderful to have a conversation with! We have eaten at Cameron so many times and the food is always exceptional. Same with the service but Jolene was exceptional last evening. I’m truly appreciated her professionalism and her very cheery attitude. We ordered all of our dishes at the same time and she timed them out perfectly so we never felt rushed making the dining experience flawless.

    The restaurant is beautiful during Christmas time with the view of downtown Worthington, if you can score a table by the window. Be sure to get the whipped goat cheese appetizer.

    Our experience at J Liu is always excellent; J Liu offers a variety of foods, including options for children. Unlike many restaurants that attempt many different types of food, J Liu has mastered all that they offer. Their East Asian options are flavorful and reasonably priced, and their fine dining entrees are top quality. Their waitstaff are attentive and knowledgeable. I recommend both of their locations, in Worthington and Dublin.
