“We were going to the Cheesecake Factory however, I saw this place on the way there and instead decided to have our birthday dinner here.As soon as I walked in I knew I was in a whole nother level of restaurant. Atmosphere was excellent, the pathway to our dinning room lead through a majestic hallway of glass and mirrors.Once seated we were waited on by our dedicated server but also other wait staff that endlessly tended to our needs.Our server was excellent, they were absolutely so skilled at their profession, we didn't even notice the endless changes of silverware with each new dish.Alright enough about the service. The food was absolutely a show stealer.We began with sushi al a carte consisting of 2 salmon belly pieces, 2 of ahi tuna, and one of A5 Wagyu, each piece carefully topped with caviar and gold leaf. Phenomenal flavor, amazing presentation, excellent execution. Garlic ponzu sauce was served in the side.Then we had the Chilean Sea bass and the NY strip, we had the Gouda tater tots as a side. Words can't properly describe the excellent quality of this meal and presentation. The attention to every detail of the dishes presented was astounding.We finished with the hot butter cake and a creme brulee, both of which were excellent. Again, amazing presentation and top notch dishes.The drinks we ordered were served with a dry ice infusion which gave it a very cool look and bubbling the entire time. I had an old fashioned as well which was smoked with cherry wood. Incredible job done with every single part of the meal.And the fresh sourdough and pretzel bread was awesome!Can't wait to come back on our next trip. This restaurant is truly a cut above every other place I've ever eaten at.“
“This hidden gem is absolutely amazing. From the food to the service - this place is 5 stars across the board. We’ve ordered different menu items every visit, and they’re always top notch. The short rib burger is in my top 3 best burgers of all time. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Columbus!“
“Visited Columbus for a few weeks and tried dinner at many restaurants. This was the only restaurant that I made sure to circle back to. Everything that was ordered as a group was shared and it was all a hit!!! Almost all of the appetizers Spoon pudding, Deviled eggs, wings, tots, mussels, wrapped dates, pie, Beet salad, just to name a few!“
“Someone has to have the newly trained server and sit beneath the American Flag. It's a loud table because you see all the servers butts typing in their orders forgetting we can hear them. She was in the weeds and she tried but no bread no salad dressing and the loudest table despite the reservation made weeks in advance. Do better Cam.“
“Loved the fast, friendly, funny and graceful host without a doubt a spot to get some fat eats in ? My big Fat Greek sandwich has me feeling blessed and educated on why this place is "The Mad Greek" because I know I'm going to have to pop the button on my pants after this huge sandwich? ... For Greek food the prices weren't bad there was a nice bar and area for seating inside with a atmosphere that is comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend. ✌??Vegetarian options: If you're a veggie Greek food has no shortage of options without meat ? I didn't try but would and a heartbeat and the pastries and desserts are nothing short of homemade slices of goodnessParking: Clean parking lot off a busy street so be careful pulling in and watch the pull out of your ride is lowKid-friendliness: Would definitely bring kids here“
“We had an incredible experience when we were in town for the Arnold. We made an unplanned decision to have lunch at The Guild House and couldn’t have been more impressed, by not only the food, but their incredible hospitality. They’re doing right.“
“Blessed with the service. Super friendly and helpful. Need a quick bite? Come here. Need something on your way from work? Come here. Really quick to get in and get out. Great place from J RParking: Didn’t have to look for a spaceKid-friendliness: Very respectful!“
“Every inch of this restaurant is full of intriguing "I Spy" -esk feels. The food was delicious! Brussels Sprouts done perfectly, one of the empty plates, and a perfect blueberry lemonade mimosa!Clean bathrooms, warm monkey bread style cinnamon bread and a brightly lit dining room that seems it could fit any number of people! What more could I want from a big city, 1930's, train station styled eatery!?“
“Delish! The Staff Member we had, didn't know much about Oysters. Lol So we asked for Best Sellers. He gave us Mintersweet (WA), Fiddle Heads (MA) & Island Pearls (NE). All 3 had Different & Unique Flavor! We also tried the Jumbo Shrimp. You Can't Beat the Prices during their Happy Hour!“
“For a fast food, fried seafood place in Columbus this shop can't be beat. The food comes out fast, the staff is nice, and overall you get a good bang for your buck. I would say the crab cakes weren't necessarily the best, but for the price there is a great crab flavor in it compared to some places that lack that in lieu of cheaper ingredients, and I'd gladly spend about $10 on a crab cake platter compared to almost 3x as much else where despite it being slightly lacking. The fried smelts were exactly what I expected and the Mac salad and chips were top notch. I'll be coming back again for sure“
“This place is a gem. Everything was absolute fantastic. Spent some time talking to the partners. Very nice people who I are local and will support. Food portions are perfect size and priced correctly. Food was very flavorful, all scratch kitchen made in house all the way down to horseradish! Can hardly wait to return when I'm in Columbus again.“
“We had a goup of 6 go for my daughter's 17th birthday and it was our first time dining there. Andrew our waiter was amazing and even though we've never met, he was spot on with all his recommendations for the table. His service was fantastic. Then of course the food was wonderful!! Our steaks were cooked exactly how we wanted, you HAVE to get the gratin potatoes and bananas fosters dessert! It was a really fantastic experience!!“
“Love their spam masubi and boba tea. Last few times they haven't had boba and subbed for jellies which isn't my favorite, but the tea is still very good. Have had a few things on the menu and liked everything I have tried.Parking: It's on a strip mall so there is limited parking.“
“I have lived in Columbus,oh a long time and I had a taste for fish so I looked up reviews and let me tell you this place dis not disappoint!!! The food is amazing!!!! Let me tell you the fish is hands down just flavorful and delicious it will make you feel like you never had fish before. Im working my way towards the chicken but drom what the locals say its amazing as well!!!“
“Think you have to go to California for authentic Japanese? While Akai Hana has "Americanized" sushi etc on the menu, they also do excellent sashimi dishes and tempura as good as anyone. Sure, I'd love to be enjoying this in Kyoto or at the fish market in Hakodate, but to find this level of quality on the eastern fringes of the American Midwest? Akai Hana scores big. Great staff at the sashimi counter, so definitely try to get a seat there.Low carb? Keto? Carnivore? Paleo? Akai Hana has choices and choices to suit your personal nutritional style!!Dietary restrictions: Low carb friendlyKeto friendlyCarnivore friendlyPaleo friendlyParking: Parking available on both sides - the Japanese market side and the Kenny Center side.“
“I was highly disrespected by a female manager that wouldn't give me her name. I placed a carryout order and picked it up with my 2year old son. I asked to have a drink at the bar, shr says i can't sit with my son at the bar, and she states she could make vme a togo drink, not mentioning i could sit elsewhere at a seat, booth etc. Some guy at the bar says i was asking too many questions. So i go to leave because at this point i feel disrespected. I then can and ask her name and she says she Doesn't have to give her name.“
“Trans /LGBT friendly in my experience , very good food. Bit on the $$ side but then when tasted it seems well worth it. I will definitely go back later , flavor is amazing.Parking: The parking lot is easy to get to. It's separated from main highway traffic and has near traffic light.Kid-friendliness: Very good atmosphere and accepting, has karaoke“
“Great food and great atmosphere. The staff was very accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant for your next celebration. I had my Mom's 85th birthday party with about 30 guests. Its been a long time since I have experienced this kind of service. 5 stars for sure“
“While the food was served promptly and was good, the music they had playing over their sound system was soooo loud, my dining companion and I could not have a conversation during our lunch. We had to just sit, eat and leave. It was so loud that when I asked the server a question about the menu, he couldn't understand what I was asking and completely answered me with something that made no sense to what I asked. I actually made a comment about the loud music, but was only asked if I wanted to be moved to a booth IN THE SAME LOUD ROOM. A booth was not an option since we specifically requested to sit at a table because a booth did not give my dining companion the back support needed. Our lunch was the most UNPLEASANT experience I had ever had at El Vaquero. If the music being that loud is their new normal, I don't recommend dining there. Not if you want to talk to those you are dining with.“
“Passing through the area and was craving Italian of which Columbus seemingly has 97 Italian restaurants...Settled on TAT Ristorante due to cozy look and have we have a 10yr old. Wow, so glad we did.This place is a throwback to traditional, Italian Sunday family eating.Calamari- light, tender with a homemade marinara.Wedding soup to die for. Salads in a chilled bowl with the light, crisp and bright vinegarette not to be skipped!I had a seafood lasagna special that l'll have dreams about, the cheeses were all crusty on the edges giving this texture beyond amazing.Aaaaaand we simply couldn't pass on dessert, the tiramisu was traditional comfort but.... The lemon cream cake is a light, airy lemony confection that I'll compare all future desserts to. Service was provided by someone I felt was family by the end of our meal! Lots of locals here, they know what's up. Hope to be back here again if I'm ever in Ohio again....!“

“Great food but it's a little pricey. And I called to place an order and they said I wasn't able to place an order. They also need to update the pictures of the menu. I went to the location and ordered the Shrimp Philly thinking it was $12.99 then the lady at the window tells me $15. It would be nice if things were up to date but for the most part it's great food.“
“Wow what a fantastic little crab restaurant! Unassuming in it's strip mall location here and low key dining ambience but they definitely put all that effort back into their crab boil. Our food was out fast and amazingly delicious. We will definitely be eating here again.Side note, we got here a little earlier than the normal dinner rush time and thank goodness, by the time we were done it was packed.Side side note: Only two, unisex, single stall, bathrooms, I waited almost 10 minutes for one to free up, consider going before you go.“
“I went on a Saturday afternoon, not busy at all. I shared a boil with a family member. The boil was OK, I'm a picky person. The staff was very attentive and friendly.Kid-friendliness: My child had the chicken tender kids meal, the portion was very generous.“
“The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. The food? Stellar! We started with oysters on the half shell. Hubby had the King Crab with all the sides, Mama had prime rib and King Crab. Meat was cooked to order-rare! Crab, sweet, juicy. Hungry yet? Small, cozy venue. We had a very short wait at 6:00 pm. Highly recommend this long standing Columbus business.Parking: Located in a strip mall so plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair parking spots and we used one.“
“Absolutely LOVE this place! We come like once a week in the winter. Always get the hot pot. Good stays fresh and tastes so good!!!! Literally a ritual for us. I used to have hot pot when I lived in Boston and love how many options this particular place offers.“
“Second time eating here and the food was excellent just like it was for my first visit. Will definitely be coming back again.Wheelchair accessibility: My wife was able to get in and around without an issue. Tables were a comfortable height while sitting in her chair.“
“Best gyro in town. I've been coming here for over 15 years. I won't go anywhere else for a gyro. They are friendly even under the busiest of times. They make you feel like family. Food is always made to perfection. In all these years never got a wrong order. I always get a chicken gyro with black olives added and they manage to make it feel like the first time every time. Delicious to the last bite.“
“1st time trying Poke bros. Very nice change up and flavor from usual food bowl places. Had The Duke has salmon, tuna, shrimp I opted for spicy, packed with flavor and taste fresh. Very friendly helpful staff, clean restaurant. Definitely be back.“
“DOS SABORES MEXICAN GRILL AND CANTINA is Fabulous ?. LOVE my shrimp ? & chicken ? fajitas. It was some of the best food I've tasted in a while. I got my meal on the go, I still enjoyed it as if I sat in the restaurant. And the customer service was Great ?. They were so Nice ?. I will definitely be back soon.Vegetarian options: They have it on the menuDietary restrictions: They have it on the menu“
“I see they have locations around town; I've been to other seafood boil places but I don't think to any of theirs. Strip-mall, unassuming from the outside, dark and "nautical" on the inside. Nice, not fancy. No frills- because you are going to be making a mess. Paper on the tables, rolls of paper towels handy. I got the basics, their standard boil, L1 I think: shrimp (no heads but peel 'em,) crab (crack 'em,) sausage, with an egg and corn cob and a potato. I could easily have eaten another corn and egg, and the potato came in handy, along with the other extras, to take a break between shoveling seafood in my mouth. Got their house seasoning, which seems like a cross between Old Bay and garlic butter. Went with medium spice; I like heat, but you just never know from place to place. They brought the bag, plus a bucket and bib and gloves. I used the bib as a precaution but would have been okay without it, perhaps by sheer luck. Gloves helped. They brought a cracker and a normal fork; I asked for a skinny fork and they brought one. Loads of food, perfectly cooked. Tender big shrimp, crab with a decent amount of meat in the legs and knuckles, lots of pretty good sausage. The flavor, and the heat, seemed lacking at first. But they both built along the way, either just in my mouth or from the food sitting in the liquid. Mmm. Very good. The heat ended up lower than a medium, I would say. But I like spice so YMMV. I would go up a notch or two next time. Service was friendly and fast, though minimal. I came right when they opened and was the only one there for a bit. Expensive, but it's seafood and a lot of it. Not quite as good as the best boil places I've been to, but pretty good, and I left stuffed with good food.“
“Foods good bit felt very nickle and dimed. Spent almost 100 on seafood, but it didn't come with corn or potatoes. $2 to add half piece of corn... OK so 2 people 2 ears of corn $16, add 2 potatoes for 2 people that's another $8. The bag was rather dry without enough space to dip the corn into, "do you want the $3 or the $6 extra sauce?" What I really wanted was enough sauce to begin with but sure. $160 for 2 people and after a $20 tip, felt pretty excessive for what we received. Probably wouldn't go again even though the food was great.“
“The location is ok, but it's always the little spots that have some of the best food.. I ordered some fried chicken and fries, it was so good. I love whatever seasoning they put on top, and I got a piece of pie it's not like a homemade, but it had nice flavoring to it. I will be back for their fish“
“Listen I cannot express how much my wife and I love this place. We go every anniversary. The people are amazing the chef (owner) comes out and checks on people when he has time. The food is delicious. Service is so on point the waitress and waiters are charming. The prices are comparable to any other place you go for steaks and ribs. 10/10 in my book. We rave about it to all our friends! I recommend the ribs hickory wings filets and the hickory house chips!!!“
“I happened upon this place on google. I have been 3 times and the food is perfect each time. I wish the inside had a better vibe, it is kind of stiff. But paper towels at each table is a nice touch! I wish parking was easier to maneuver.Most of all - I wish they had better hours. It is bizarre how a restaurant closes at 4p during the week and 8p on weekends. Please stay open longer!“
“The restaurant is clean, friendly service and the food is amazing. My favorite is the oxtail dish, the dibi lamb is very tasty, tried the jollof rice for the first time and it was delicious. I also tried the lamb shawarma, so good. I'm still working my way to taste everything on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant; definitely a must to try. One of many of my favorite restaurants.“
“First time going and the food was amazing! We had Toni Po Boy, dirty rice and creole rice. Enough food for two people and a second mean for myself, huge portions.Highly suggested place to eat, great employees!!! Will be going back?Parking: Nice size parking area“
“We absolutely love Mr. Chicken! The man who runs it always gives great customer service! He us always polite and even though he sees alot of people he always knows who i am when I call in! We will continue to eat here! Love the chicken and fish!“
“I recently enjoyed LB's golden fried fish and chicken at the Firm Foundation event and couldn't resist going back for seconds. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and the food was consistently hot and delicious. LB's has become my new go-to spot for a satisfying meal—you definitely need to check them out!“
“This is my favorite place to go when I get out. I only go in the day early. Well I went this evening 7:30 drove and 1 1/2 hr in a Friday snow storm, not busy. This time I was soo disappointed and I was bragging. I was surprised the food was trash. Butter sauce was not hot spicy wise, I don’t eat pork they put pork sausage in after I made it clear. Tonight just was not it. If I do deal with them again it’ll be in the mid day. Service was horrible, had 3 diffent servers it was a mess.“
“This place is a hidden gem.Authentic Mexican flavors, all the things we tried were delicious.Gorditas, tacos and the chilaquiles with Carne asada just on point.I just wish they open earlier in the morning to have breakfast there.Service is fast and friendly.“
“I’m from West Virginia and just got out of nation wide Childrens hospital where I had surgery on my throat, and I spent an hour trying to find steamed vegetables before I found this place and the guy who took my order over the phone was super friendly :) and the vegetables with yum yum sauce here were 10/10“
“First time ordering and the food was excellent. Ordered through door dash and the restaurant called me to inform they were out of an item and asked what I wanted instead. Excellent customer service. Food was hot and fresh. I will definitely be ordering again.“
“While we all pretty much know what to expect from traditional Mexican food -- by which I mean to say that while unfailingly tasty, it seems standardized and one place is more similar than not to another -- I was absolutely wowed at the quality and taste of Cazuelas fare. I can't wait to eat there again, and honestly, I'm not sure there's a reason for me to try any other Mexican restaurant in downtown Columbus.“
“Best place in the whole city, the atmosphere is kinda rough but that’s what makes this place a hidden gem and it’s super underrated and amazing, anyone who loves Chinese food needs to support this place so we can keep it open for business hopefully forever.“
“We had the best waiter ever! Elliot checked on us often. I asked for a plate to share some of my salad. He said I’ll have it split for you and took it to the kitchen.My prime rib was excellent! My friend’s chicken was great also.We had key lime pie for dessert which they also split for us.Pleasant evening!“
“My girlfriend and I stopped in here late one night on a whim. I’m so glad we did! Such lovely people and a relaxing environment. The staff was very attentive, and the food was fantastic. (Get 2 orders of grape leaves; you won’t want to share.) It made for a great laid-back, late-night date.“
“It took me a few trips to review but I love it, I'm contracted every Friday at the apartments behind it, now granted I only ordered one thing off the menu and always tempt too! However they are consistent and I'm afraid if I order something else, my expectations probably will set to high. I might be let down and shy away. From a Cultural stand point, I'm born and Raised in New Orleans. So when I go to that little intersection, it reminds me of home so much. All those Blacks giving there money to another Race, in their own Neighborhood. And without the Resources, they will never ever ever have a community. Wings are big as hell , Fries are Free and they aren't stingy at all! Always hot with steam in your face when one opens the plate! Did I mention the wings are very Meaty!“
“I haven't been there for a while but I went on the 26th or 27th of March and my wings was old. They were so hard and had no flavor. It was a waste of money. I don't know if they changed owners or what but I was very very disappointed. I won't be going back.“
“If you like seafood definitely have to try this place. For my first time it was very good. The shrimp and crab legs were perfect. The shrimp in the bottom was a little over cooked but I’m not complaining. It was sitting in the juice and still tasted better than most places I have tried. Well worth it for the price and I definitely will be back!“
