“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. Highly recommend!”

The Top Steak House 2891 East Main Street, Columbus Steak House • $$$$

“We had a terrible experience at The Top Steakhouse at the beginning of this month, and honestly, we left feeling like we would never return. However, The Top reached out to us to make things right, and they absolutely did.

They paired us with our server, Cher, and she was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we sat down, she made sure we were taken care of, served appropriately, and that every detail of our experience was handled. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the experience we should have had the first time.

Because of the way The Top handled the situation and the incredible service we received from Cher, our minds have completely changed. We went from thinking we would never come back to knowing that we will continue to be loyal customers.

We are incredibly thankful that The Top took our concerns seriously and made the effort to make things right. Mistakes can happen, but what really matters is how a business responds to them — and The Top absolutely showed us that they care about their customers.

Thank you to The Top and especially to Cher for turning a disappointing experience into one that restored our faith in the restaurant. We will absolutely be back! ❤🥩”

Pelino's Pasta 245 King Avenue, Columbus Italian • $$$$

“From the moment we walked in, we felt like welcomed guests rather than customers. The atmosphere transported us straight to Italy, with a warmth and authenticity that set the stage for what became an extraordinary evening. Each course felt like a carefully wrapped gift, designed with intention and presented with artistry. The flavors carried unexpected complexities—layers that unfolded in ways you rarely find in restaurants around here. Every bite told a story, both comforting and refined, and left us excited for what would come next. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. One that lingered long after the last course, reminding us how exceptional dining can be when passion and craft meet. Truly unforgettable. We added the 4 course wine pairing with the Pelino’s Dinner. We ended the experience with espresso, which was better than any espresso we’ve ever had (even the 3 times we’ve been to Italy). Truly a special night.”

We ordered the stuffed mushrooms. Ruby got the full slab of ribs, fries, and roasted brussel sprouts. I ordered the required French Onion soup, salad and 12 oz ribeye, medium rare. I don't recall being in a restaurant where the food came out so fast after ordering. It was amazing! The food was all delicious. The French Onion soup was better than what I had just a few days earlier. The steak was prepared perfectly. Our server talked us into taking a Molten Lava cake to go since it was discounted for our anniversary.
Stacy L. was our excellent and friendly server (see photo!). We took about half of the food home for the next day. I commended the Manager (I'm sorry that I didn't get his name) on running a tight ship and he said that he had a good crew. I'd say so, plus good food.

I look forward to future tastings at Haru and experiencing more Japanese cuisine.

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 was in the Georgesville Red Lobster the other day and noticed a shift leader/manager cleaning tables and helping servers, as well as helping customers. It is nice to see someone in charge going above and beyond in this day and age. I asked a server his name because I was so impressed. She said his name is Ken and they love when he is on duty with them. I wanted to make sure his efforts did not go unnoticed.”

Starbucks Coffee Company 1187 Polaris Parkway, 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.”

“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.”

Khaja Ghar | Restaurant & Bar 2057 Morse Rd, Columbus Himalayan/Nepalese • $

“This was our first time eating here and it was amazing. Once inside it is clean and inviting. The server was friendly snd helpful. Everything we ordered came to the table piping hot and somehow stayed that way the whole meal. We have zero complaints about the food or the service. While we ate, there was a revolving door of take away orders being picked up. The prices were more than fair and we had plenty to take home for another meal. Highly recommend to anyone who likes Nepalese food or is looking for a new locally owned restaurant to try. We see ourselves coming back here again.”

We are out of town and decided to try this as we ate at the one in Cincinnati before he had allergies! The manager came out. The chef told him what they could do and the waitress was made aware and did an allergy ticket for his meal! The best service and we felt the allergy was taken serious! Would highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Saturday evening dining brought a loud and crowded environment. Server was trying to do the best he could but it was obvious they were short staffed. Long wait in between courses and disappointed with the crispy green bean appetizer which came saturated in grease. The tempura was not tasty. Filet Entree was just ok, nothing special. Kudos to the bar tender as he kept the much needed $8.99 cocktail specials coming!”

I love the fact there are soft chairs and a soft couch to sit on. With fibromyalgia,it's important I sit on soft furniture. Plenty of tables with chairs to sit to read, type on a laptop, have meetings, etc. The iced latte was delicious - I wished there were more gluten-free baked goods/meals. Plenty of natural light from large windows. FREE parking across the street.”

HARU Omakase 2027 Polaris Parkway, Columbus Sushi • $$$$

“The sushi tasting menu at Haru Omakase was lovely. Great cocktails, creative and varied flavors and very fresh seafood. The tasting included some familiar seafood and also several different varieties of fish I’ve never tried before. All were delicious and fresh. I was a really big fan of Kihachi, which closed years ago, and I’m happy to have another upscale Japanese restaurant in Columbus that is comparable in quality. I look forward to future tastings at Haru and experiencing more Japanese cuisine.

Now, some reviewers said they feel the restaurant is over priced. It is expensive, but I am happy to pay what they charge for this quality in my landlocked hometown.”
