“A hidden gem on Garfield Place . We decided to throw out the Hyde park restaurants and try something new . The Mezze Board was fantastic with all of the Mediterranean dips and veggies , The Shrimp Cossoult is to die for . The braised lamb /risotta/feta explodes with every bite. The best of all is that it was our first time dining and and I felt like family with the service from Nimo and Bryce , Coming back next week for the Swordfish . 6 stars !!!!!“

The atmosphere was buzzing, but once we were seated, the atmosphere chilled to become very intimate withered I felt exclusively at my own table, and not into everyone else's conversations. The food is phenomenal, the wine and liquor selection was great. Try the Sea Bass!“

My husband enjoyed his wedge salad and we split a highly delicious pepperoni pizza. Mike and Maddie were so welcoming! We even got to enjoy their brand new outdoor umbrellas which gave such a nice touch to their outdoor dining patio. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later! 🥰“

Helped tell us about other places to go, had us try some different draft beers, they made the best pizza’s even my kids loved all the different types and loved drawing plates to put on the wall. If we were to ever come back this way definitely would be coming back! Recommend 100x!!“

“Wife and I had a wonderful time. Friday night, bartender Harrison knows everything about the wines. Brandee and Davis were great company (also helpful in wine pairings).

“I’m not a wine person but my wife wanted to try a wine bar and we decided to come to Skeleton Root. When talking to the staff I informed them of my lack of wine knowledge. They were very helpful and professional. They recommended a couple of different wines which we tried and to my astonishment, I enjoyed a couple of their wines. The atmosphere was rustic and laid back which I loved. It was a lovely experience and I would like to thank the staff for their suggestions and their help.“

“1215 is one of the best coffee shops I’ve had the pleasure of frequenting, and I make it a habit to go here at least once a week. It’s in the heart of OTR and is super convenient for anyone in that area. I’m on a first name basis with the baristas and ordering food/coffee from them feels less transactional and more human. They sell Deeper Roots coffee which is top notch, and I could drink their house blend for the rest of my life. They have a really solid selection of teas too. The place is not at all pretentious, and has a regular clientele that is relaxed and friendly - and the place is bustling but not too busy. The music they play is at the right volume and is well-curated - Americana, folk, 2000s indie, soft rock, blues. Around 5-6pm the coffee shop vibe slowly turns into a romantic and cozy wine bar with live music on some nights. The flowers on the tables are replaced by candles and the lights are dimmed. While I’m usually busier in the evenings, this tempts me to stay all day. Fantastic place that I cannot recommend enough!“

“We had a wonderful private party for my husbands retirement. Everything was wonderful from the environment , food and drinks! Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful group of ppl with some awesome pizza and calzones. Only thing I wish they also had would be some wings but other than that great experience with my coworkers from Central Window Cleaning out of Columbus“

“Our waiter provided excellent service and attention. Paced our dinner as we requested. Once we asked for our entrees they came out promptly. Both dinners were cooked to perfection. We even shared our great experience with the manager on exit.“

“First time here with my family celebrating our wedding anniversary. Kids got burgers, wife got herself a burger and I choose the three course meal- BLT salad, baby back ribs, Cole slaw and fresh fruit. Everything was well beyond my expectations. Kids devoured their food, wife was highly impressed with her choice and my ribs fell right off the bone. The atmosphere was very pleasant, not too busy for a Sunday even though we did make a reservation. Very friendly service right from the start. Server was absolutely friendly and very helpful. Food was prepared very well and did not have to wait long. Exceptional place to go to, highly recommend!“

“Amazing food, beverage, service & atmosphere!!!“

“Nice very relaxing 😌 We had a great time .“

- Hyde Prek is a fun cozy Environment, great place to do some studying or meeting up with a friend. Would recommend drinks like Cappuccinos and up. Baristas are super nice. Hyde Perk, is also open a bit later into the evenings.

“What a CUTE coffee shop 😍😍 The inside is absolutely darling and has plenty of space to sit and enjoy your coffee and breakfast. We opted to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful weather. Super dog friendly which is always great to see. And lots of breakfast options. We got the quinoa bowl for a gluten free option and it was so good. The sausage in it was very light and everything else was very filling. They also had some fun gluten free muffins and a s'mores bar that was super tasty!! Definitely recommend if you live in the area or are just visiting 👌“

“Everything was amazing! The poutine was rich and perfectly cheesy, the gumbo had that deep, soulful flavor you only get when someone really knows what they’re doing, and the wings? Absolute perfection—crispy, saucy, and addictive. Can’t wait to come back and order it all again!“

“We recently ordered from The Park Pour for our holiday staff party. The food was wonderful, as always. Beautiful salads, deviled eggs & more. Ordering was easy & their team is always helpful. One of my very favorite restaurants- highly recommend!“

“Husband mentioned privately that the dish would have been great with bread. Server was at the table next to us (very small spaces) and immediately turns around “you said you want some bread” we were kind of shocked she just barged into our conversation but replied “yeah that would be great” Someone brjngs out the bread - we think what a great server to overhear a comment on how the dish would be better and try's to do so. Server then charges us for an appetizer of bread on the check. Just a tad bit tasteless behavior.“

“Friendly service and great atmosphere.“

“My girlfriend and I really enjoy the atmosphere and music at Nostalgia. I like the diverse crowd; a little bit of everybody there. Younger, older, and business people all enjoying good music and good vibes. For the record Im 49 yr old Blk male.“

“Last night, I had the pleasure of trying Killer Queen in the Banks District for the first time, and I was absolutely impressed by the stunning atmosphere and amazing venue. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. However, the drink I tried wasn’t the greatest. I think there’s an opportunity to refine the bar program and create some truly excellent, crafty cocktails—exactly what the Banks needs. With just a little tweaking, they could easily become the go-to spot for top-notch drinks. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely loved the food and the atmosphere! Jess our server was AMAZING! We will definitely be coming back to see her!“
