Sicillian Pizza is fantastic, and so is the Proscuitto di Parma Bruschetta. Good pick for a birthday (with Jeni's Ice Cream down the block for dessert... good stuff)

I heard it was Ruth's Chris that bought up a bunch of the Cameron Mitchell restaurants.

Found the press release on their website:

Company to focus on developing new concepts, expanding existing concepts

COLUMBUS – Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) today announced that the company has agreed to sell its Columbus Fish Market, Mitchell’s Fish Market, Mitchell’s Steakhouse and Cameron’s Steakhouse concepts to Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Inc. (Nasdaq: RUTH) for $94 million.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity for our company. Although this is a bittersweet time for me personally, the sale paves the way to achieve our goals of innovation and expansion,” said Cameron Mitchell, president and founder of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. “It also provides the resources needed to help the Fish Market and Steakhouse concepts thrive and realize their potential, which will bring significant opportunities for those associates.”

According to Mitchell, the sale will allow the company to focus on the expansion of two highly successful concepts – Mitchell’s Ocean Club and Marcella’s – and to develop new concepts and bring them to the market. Cameron Mitchell Restaurants has four Mitchell’s Ocean Club locations scheduled to open in 2008 alone (Troy, MI and Scottsdale, AZ; and signed letters of intent in Miami and Orlando, FL). The company continues to explore opportunities to grow Marcella’s, their newest concept. Mitchell also stated that the company is scheduled to open four Rusty Bucket Corner Taverns (a CMR-managed company) in 2008 as well.

“Our company is in an exceptional position today to do what we love – create new concepts and introduce them across the country,” said Mitchell. “Proceeds from this sale will help drive our entrepreneurial spirit and allow us to capitalize on the growth potential of our current concepts. It also will strengthen the company’s balance sheet and enable us to reward our partners.”

Both companies have signed a purchase agreement and the transaction is expected to be completed in first quarter 2008. Piper Jaffray & Co. served as financial advisor to Cameron Mitchell Restaurants.
