“Went to the Cincinnati location and it was AMAZING! We ordered the cheddar scallion biscuits, Korean BBQ cauliflower, shrimp and grits, and the Szechwan Noodles. So much flavor in everything we tried. The wait staff was top notch. Our server Kevin was very attentive, checking on us to make sure all was ok and if we needed anything. There were also a few others that stopped by to see how we were doing and chat with us since we drove 250+ miles to eat there. They made us feel very welcome. I can’t wait to go back, it’s so worth the drive and I’m hoping they build one closer.”

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Columbus 89 E Nationwide Blvd, Columbus Steak House • $$$$

“We had a fantastic evening at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Columbus! Everything was perfect from the greeters at the door, the entire wait staff, the beautiful live entertainment, the appetizers (Rachel made a suggestion for us as we couldn’t decide between two, and it was perfect - she gave us each one huge shrimp and one Oyster Rockefeller), the wedge salad (which we knew there was no way we could each eat one, so she split it for us before bringing it to our table - and the blue cheese in that dressing - OMG!!), our filets were perfectly seared and the Mac and Cheese was to die for even though we could only eat a spoonful as we were too full! The wine we chose was from Corison Winery which we visited when we were in California and met the awesome owner, Cathy Corison! We loved the wine and try to find it everywhere we go! If you haven’t tried Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Columbus, you are definitely missing out on an absolutely perfect evening and dining experience! Their attention to every little detail is amazing! Cannot wait to go back! Definitely a 5 star restaurant!”

Agni 716 S High St, Columbus Fine Dining • $$$$

“Went here for my birthday recently and it was amazing, hands down some of if not the best food I've ever had! We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was very special. The food was elaborate in concept and after each dish was served I found myself saying “this is my favorite” every single time. By course 5 we declared we would be back. I also really appreciated the touch of whimsy, with the cute chopstick holders to the lego figures in the bathroom and the foreign candy that was served with the check. It just felt so sophisticated while still being a place you could relax and just enjoy good food.”

“I’ve had J’s Sweet Treats cakes on a number of occasions over the last few years and I’ve consistently enjoyed the cakes, thoroughly. Most recently, I contacted them for a birthday cake and they were able to accommodate me in such short notice. I sent an inspo picture and what I got in return was exactly what I asked for. My cake tasted just like I hoped and it was such a nice touch for my day and they were really able to make it special with my last minute request.

Ordered: three layer strawberry and vanilla cake with strawberry icing.”

“This is my newest fav spot in Columbus. We first went for my bday with our two little kids. We were nervous at first bringing them, but felt welcome and they ADORED their dishes. It was, until Speck graciously brought my a mini ice cream cone for my bday when all hell broke loose ? we were SO close! My husband and I knew we wanted to come back....solo, for a date. We made it happen quickly and I again basked in the culinary experience. Servers are attentive, the ambiance is moody yet delightful, feeling as if you walked into a NY spot. We sat at the chef's counter, which was cool to watch the action.
Twice I for the Fungi Pasta Dish... I would eat it every night if I could. The server recommended a Pinot Noir to pair with it and oh my gosh, he was right. Those little moments is what sets restaurants a part. His knowledge for the dish, even though he said he didn't like mushrooms but knew the two paired together brilliantly was like YES!! THIS IS AMAZING!
Oh, the tuna Crudo dish??? I had to stop myself from being awkward and moaning out loud. I will be dreaming of that dish and counting till the next time we go again.
Well done! We are foodies and it's been awhile since a place has really WOW'd us and I'm so so happy to have Speck in Cbus!”

“Went on a Monday afternoon. After meeting the cool tender/brewer, I was drawn by the 4 Fall-oriented stouts available. They have 1-up'd Jackie O's here and I highly admire this boldness, not to mention the very chill outdoor patio seating in German Village.

The Impaler series stouts are superb, well conditioned, and wood barrel-aged heavenliness. I chose the Chai Spiced Impaler 12% as it was the meanest on the menu, followed by the Chocolate Strawberry Impaler 11%. Both reminiscent of the well finished stouts I enjoyed at Great American Beer Festival 2024, much like Fremont Brewing's BBADS series.

“This is THE SPOT for breakfast sandwiches on fresh made boiled bagels. Being in the North market, it gets busy depending on what is happening at the convention center or immediate surrounding area. The staff moves as fast as the food can cook, y'all. You want mediocre food? Enjoy your McDonald's where you can get it in less than 5 minutes. Waiting is to be expected at a place like this and it's well worth it! Paying less than $8 for a fresh cooked egg (and cheese and meat!) on a freshly made bagel of the same morning?! Good luck finding that downtown. Five stars because the staff is still human and the food is excellent. Four stars on atmosphere because the North Market can get really busy, but busy is good, right?!”

“I stopped in on my way home to order and pick up a 10" BBQ Chicken Pizza. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and efficient. The owner came through the dining area and stopped to tell me about the restaurant. I had planned to eat the pizza in the car on the way home, but it was so loaded with fresh and delicious ingredients that I was afraid that I would spill it on myself. I wisely decided to eat the pizza in my car in the parking lot. I really like BBQ chicken pizza, and this was the best I'd ever had.”

A little pricey, to be expected with the food quality. If ingredients matter to you then it's a must try!!”

“My girlfriend and I were only one of two parties in the restaurant when we arrived on Veterans Day. The male owner made us feel welcome as so as we walked inside, and he explained how the menu works to us with 100% patience. The Silav breakfast for two option made the most sense for my wallet, plus it let us sample many of the offerings on the menu all at once. Then, the other owner (the wife of the first owner) kindly explained their coffee menu to us because it hasn't been placed online yet. 5/5 food, 5/5 customer service, we will be back!”

“We would like to thank the restaurant for giving us happy memories during our short trip to Ohio with top-notch taste and service. I think the steaks here are really good, especially the filet mignon and Seared Tenderloin. For appetizers, I had Pan-fried Calamari and Tuna Tartare, which were also very satisfying. Although the service is slow when there are a lot of people, they are very friendly, and everything including table spacing, interior design, and lighting was comfortable. Although the prices are not very friendly, this is a steakhouse I would definitely come back to when I visit Ohio.”

“Fantastic Ramen. Was in town for work and found this location. Food was prepared fresh yet quickly. I took my meal to-go and it was packed well, still hot when I got to my hotel. The noodles were great, fresh, and didn't taste like they came out of a cheap grocery store pack. Pork was excellent. Gyoza tasted homemade and not frozen. Highly recommend this place.”

“I really enjoyed my pizza. I ordered the Aaloo Gobi with vegan cheese and it was delicious. I was nervous because I am a basic kind of pizza lover but the flavor was great. The star of the show was the crust. My dad ordered the meat pizza and liked his as well. The guy taking our order was patient and kind. I will for sure be back.

Chouette 66 N High St, Columbus Bistros • $$$

“We went for our anniversary dinner and had a fantastic time—- sat at the bar around 4:30pm on a Saturday, service was very attentive and the vibes were very laid-back. We split the Dirty Caesar salad and enjoyed the fantastic house bread to start. The salad dressing was incredible. I don’t like green olives but they were large pieces that were easy to eat around and move to my husband’s plate (he loves them!). We also split the hanger steak with the bordelaise sauce. We ordered the steak medium rare and it was just perfect! The fries were perfect for sopping up the fantastic bordelaise sauce. I can without a doubt say this was the best steak I have had outside of Paris. I am eager to try the other butters and sauces offered for the steak, but the bordelaise was so good it is going to be hard not to order it every time! My husband was thrilled to find 1664 on draft, as it was his go-to beer choice on our honeymoon in France years ago. I enjoyed an absolutely spectacular glass of Beaujolais that was very reasonably priced and paired perfectly with the steak. We were already thrilled with the ambiance and the service and the food and drink at this point, but when we mentioned we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary they poured us glasses of champagne on the house, which really made us feel special and taken care of. We finished the night with the Peach Melba for dessert, and I was absolutely blown away at the quality of each ingredient in this dessert and how it was plated. I was sad to hear it is leaving to make room for a new fall/winter seasonal dessert, but I am a sucker for seasonal menus so this just got me excited to come back and try next season’s dessert! If it is anything like the Peach Melba we had, I am certain I will love it. This restaurant is a little bit above our normal eating-out budget, but by splitting plates and eating at the bar we were able to enjoy a truly luxurious experience that made our anniversary truly special this year. We will be remembering this dinner for a long time, and we can’t wait to come back!!”
