Cameron Mitchell Restaurants is a restaurant group headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. It owns restaurants under various names, many of which are located in Central Ohio.

The group's Ocean Prime concept opened in Troy, Michigan in June 2008 and has locations in Columbus, (under the name Mitchell's Ocean Club), and in thirteen other cities across the United States. The company also manages and co-owns a sister company, Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern.

The group formerly owned the Mitchell's Steakhouse and Mitchell's Fish Market brands, but sold both of these concepts along with one Cameron's Steakhouse location to Ruth's Chris in February 2008.

Cameron Mitchell

Cameron Mitchell is president and founder of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. He gained notoriety in the restaurant industry in 2008, when two of the company's concepts: Mitchell's/Columbus Fish Market and Mitchell's/Cameron's Steakhouse—a total of 22 units—sold to Ruth's Hospitality Group for $92 million.

Mitchell is a 1986 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, where he was the first alumnus to hold the position of Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees. He is also the school's largest alumni donor.

In 1993, Mitchell began Cameron Mitchell Restaurants by opening its first concept, Cameron's American Bistro. As a result of the development of several new concepts and expansion of its more popular concepts, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants became a 33-unit, multi-concept operation with locations in nine states. Before the sale of its two biggest concepts in 2008, the company's annual sales surpassed $120 million.

Nine Cameron Mitchell Restaurants remain independent and privately held, with nine concepts and 19 units, including the steakhouse and seafood restaurant, Ocean Prime, as well as a separate catering company and sister company, The Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern.
