Every dish has been a perfect 10/10, with generous portions that are more than enough to satisfy. The steak is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, and both the shrimp and salmon are cooked to perfection. I often find that my meal lasts into the next day because of how filling it is, and the prices are very reasonable. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding customer service. Marian, in particular, makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you arrive. Keep up the fantastic service and high-quality food—you’ve definitely got the Eastside covered!”

“My family had the pleasure of dining at Lola & Giuseppe's last evening, and it truly was a pleasure! We began with wedding soup (some of the best I have ever tasted), a Guiseppe's Salad, and spinach-artichoke dip. Two of our group had the meat lasagna which was delicious and a huge serving. Other entrees included egg plant parmigana and chicken marsala. All were excellent, large servings, and very reasonably priced. The surprise (and a good one) was the Creme de Limocello that was bursting with lemon flavor and a nice little nip. Service was excellent and the owner stopped by to chat on two occasions thanking us for dining there. It was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we have had in quite a while.

We also tried Gina's Gem and between the beautiful focaccia and the dip being creamy while also sweet with a small back burn to it, you really can't go wrong. The bar is a great place to sit, no spoilers, but the walls and shelves are filled with awesome and hilarious things that make good conversation.

“I've been to this location to enjoy dinner on multiple occasions. 85% of the time, the entire experience is fantastic, but my most recent experience left me wanting. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues tied to getting our bill correct, and then, adding insult to injury, I ended up going home with a considerable stomachache. Fortunately, it didn't end up being any worse than that, but let's just say I had some concerns on that drive. 😬 but besides that, the food was very tasty, came out quickly, and I believe was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who comprised the party - being made up of eight people. That is another point: this location can accommodate larger groups as well as smaller groups. Also, I strongly recommend the chocolate chip cookie 🍪 , which I know couldn't have been the culprit of my stomachache, because I saved it to enjoy at a later time. In fact, the chocolate chip cookie is one of the primary reasons why I'm excited to go to Northstar whenever it comes up as a dining option! The homemade ginger ale and kombucha are favorites of mine, as well as the North Star Burger - and that is coming coming from somebody who is a meat-eater most of the time! Enjoy!”

Starbucks Coffee Company 1187 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus Coffee Shops • $

“I love the baristas at this Starbucks. They are kind and welcoming. This is my favorite venue. Drinks are delicious! A few of the sweet baristas are Kelsey, Daniela, Erin, Gi Gi, but 'all' of them are a joy. The manager is Dylan and he is exceptionally nice always. The baristas 'always' make my customized drink right. They seem like family. Let's be especially respectful and kind to them. Their demeanor remains the same even when they are rushed and extremely busy. It's a joy to see them.”

“My friend and I had a wonderful waitress her name is Kay she served us with a smile and served us our salads first which I don't get at most restaurants they are served with the meal, I found that I need to request they serve the salad first. She made sure that we had refills on our coffee as well didn't have to ask. We were at the restaurant 10/24/25 around 6.00 PM”

“Horrible bison burger, cooked to death, could hardly choke it down, bacon jam not good. Bison is always dry but when you have hard brown fried parts on the outside it is super dry. They say they cook it medium, ummm no.”

“The establishments decor was modern. Our server was amazing. She was attentive and very friendly. My drink, sex on the beach was great! The food was under whelming. I could tell my chicken sandwhich was probably just a frozen Tyson chicken patty. The cheesesteak was over seasoned and not sure it was beef. Would definitely go back for drinks and cocktails, but would definitely pass on the food again.”

The Co Bowl Shoppe 2741 S Hamilton Rd, Columbus Restaurant • $$

“This food is absolutely incredible! I recently discovered this food truck, and I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. Every dish has been a perfect 10/10, with generous portions that are more than enough to satisfy. The steak is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, and both the shrimp and salmon are cooked to perfection. I often find that my meal lasts into the next day because of how filling it is, and the prices are very reasonable. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding customer service. Marian, in particular, makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you arrive. Keep up the fantastic service and high-quality food—you’ve definitely got the Eastside covered!”

The atmosphere was great, the place had a great vibe, and our service was excellent. We both ordered their 3 course special and our favorite part was the brownie sundae! Also I hate deviled eggs and tolerated them…my gf loves deviled eggs and was obsessed! The steak and sides were good but the steak was on the crispy side. Still loved it!”

“I can't say enough about our incredible experience tonight at Kona Grill. I just got diagnosed with cancer, had my first chemo last Friday and finally felt well enough to get out. I've loved Kona since the first time I came in 2003 yall. So for me it's one of my favorites. Jacquelyn and Juan could not have made my first outing post chemo/newly bald more memorable. This before they knew I had just experienced a very challenging week. That aside the food was phenomenal, I had the macadamia nut chicken and holy Hannah the dessert! Made in house and absolutely incredible. I simply can't say enough. The environment, the service, the food. Worth every moment.”

“I’d say this place (assuming it doesn’t change) is top 3 cups of coffee in Columbus and arguably possibly the best overall. I haven’t been enough times is why I hesitate to say with certainty and that’s because the consistency obviously will embolden the overall ranking of a place. But the coffee I have had here has been very good - even almost perfect. Very small place, it’s basically a to go experience. Really nice workers when I have gone. Cute area to explore in walking distance nearby.”
