We chose to eat dinner here because we were attending a concert at the Southern Theatre (attached to the Westin) and valet parked there out of convenience with the freezing winter weather. Overall, the restaurant delivered a passable, mediocre experience which is what we expected for a hotel restaurant. We knowingly prioritized the convenience of pre-concert, on-site dinner over a first-rate dining experience. I will say that the menu offered a nice selection with some unique items and the food was good, better than expected. Service was slow. They were low on servers and whoever was bartending must have been a stand in. How do you mess up a gin & tonic and a straight vodka on the rocks? Well, he or she did! Tonic was flat and the vodka had water added. Our server was very accommodating, apologetic and took them away for another try. They got it right the second time around. Ambiance was nothing special. It was clean and decor was up to date and modern, though it felt sparse and cold. Not warm and inviting or lively and fun. Would I come back? Not likely unless there's another concert I'm attending at the Southern in the dead of winter and don''t want to walk to/from another downtown restaurant.

Food was delicious! We had the Rosemary Focaccia, and a chicken pasta and the spicy mushroom pasta. Everything was lovely. We were the only people in the restaurant, which was odd considering the food was so yummy! Go!

Our server didn't seem to know much about the menu. It took about 25 minutes to get a glass of wine, and about a half hour for the food. I had a pasta dish, which was good. But, my wife ordered the Chicken Masala, which was terrible. The portion was very skimpy for a $32 entrepreneur, and the chicken was dry and rubbery. This place is definitely not worth the price point.

Unfortunately our server was too busy to serve all the tables with consistent attention. Our wine arrived at the end of our meal. The person refilling water didn't stop by after the first fill. Splitting the tab in two caused some difficulty and we barely arrived at the theatre in time for the show.
David
Our experience was that we waited over 45 minutes for our food which was not as described on the menu and due to the long wait we had to take our food “to go” in order to make it to the theater on time. Considering that the restaurant had less than three tables occupied when we arrived, we ended up having a terrible experience.

Waiter Nic was very attentive. We got to sit in a booth next to the artist that we're going to see that night how fun

Well, We’ve been waiting for an hour and have no food. The server is utterly incompetent and didn’t even know how to pour glasses of wine. We have a show to watch in the theater in 32 minutes and I don’t think that the restaurant is gonna be able to handle the situation Interesting, because it’s an expensive menu and very expensive cocktails. They didn’t have the two items I wanted on the menu, including chicken marsala. Really best to avoid this restaurant, because they don’t know what they’re doing.

Food was great and our server did the best she could. We were seated at our 5:15 pm reservation time, placed order ~5:35 pm, and received our entrees ~6:20 pm. We, like most guests in the restaurant, we're headed to a 7:00 pm performance at the Southern Theater. Dinner was stressful not knowing if could finish our meal before the show. The restaurant management should provide a Theater Menu based on their regular menu. Offer a limited number of appetizers, sides, and entrees to help the culinary team meet the time-sensitive needs of theater patrons. Kudos to Jasmine for her efforts managing a very challenging evening.
My friend and I had a great time. The space is nice and super clean. The staff was great, attentive. We both felt that the appetizers were good, but nothing exceptional. The main meal was definitely better. We would probably stick to that and a salad..

Slow service. I lived in the Columbus area for 16+ years. This is the worst meal we've ever had

This is a perfect location for a restaurant. Unfortunately the staffing was minimal. The staff that was working was pleasant and apologetic. Definitely some issues in the kitchen. We were 3, and everyone's food came out @15 minutes apart. We had to take the last order to go because we had show tickets and thought an hour and a half would be long enough...it was not. The food was very tasty and we did our best to share it among ourselves. They did give us a complimentary piece of cheesecake to take with us.

 I visited this restaurant with business colleagues for lunch. The place was virtually empty. The server, in spite of taking lots of notes at the time that we ordered, forgot almost every detail of our order other than the items on the menu that we had requested. The food, once it finally got to us, was lackluster. The salad that my colleague ordered appeared to be overdressed. My pizza was significantly under baked And that was very doughy. The iced tea was cloudy, indicating that it had been made at least one day ago.  I won't be back.

Pretty standard hotel restaurant. Decent menu with high prices. Service was fine/prompt. Sat at the bar and the bartender kept to himself. Music was good except there were commercials that threw off the vibe. Burger with Asiago cheese was one of the better hotel restaurant burgers I’ve had. I’m sure there are better options for your money around but if you don’t want to leave the hotel then it won’t disappoint.
