We had such an amazing time at El Lugar! 1st off- the booth and comfort factor were exactly what we were looking for! The staff was fantastic and attentive! Food was delicious! Margaritas were on point! Francisco came around to welcome and check in with everyone, he was very friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back and do it again!

Service was extremely poor and slow. The food undelivered and is far from what you would expect when reading and looking at the reviews.

El Lugar and Alpine are both great choices rolled into one cool, laid back space. The patio is a feature here, great place to sit, sip, and take in the peaceful German Village neighborhood scene.
The food menus both have quality Spanish and German options, an odd concept, I know, but don't that discourage you. The chefs know what they're doing, I've never had a dish that wasn't worth reordering.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service. So glad we tried this place. We ordered every tapas offered and 2 shareables (Steak and wine flight and candied brussels…both amazing). Highlight of tapas were scallops and the mushroom Wellington. Really great, we’ll be back!
We love this place. The food is always delicious and the service is always friendly. I've tried almost everything and haven't had a bad meal yet! Good drinks too.

El Lugar was *AMAZING* We tried the scallop, the garlic mushrooms, the squid, brussel sprouts, and the steak flight. Everything was absolutely delicious. I cannot begin to recommend the squid and steak flight enough. It was absolute perfection. The Service was spot on. It was perfect for a date night and we cannot wait to go back. Others around us had things like the fondue that looked delicious and we have a list to try but hands down the steak (paired beautifully with the wine) and squid are must haves.

The kind of place you HOPE stays quietly successful for a long while but NEED to share because Columbus needs more actually terrific dining experiences. Layed back but romantic atmosphere with sensible live music is a nice touch but the food…Candied Brussels Sprouts were exceptional and the mushrooms w/ thyme had my wife and I fighting over who got the last bite. The stake and wine flight is cunning, delicious and aside from having room for creative license, was entirely satisfying. Great service and a memorable experience.

The mushroom wellington was absolutely phenomenal, and the beer was quite good. But lord have mercy, their pintxos were an absolute joke and total embarrassment.If you served a pintxo like that in Bilbao, they wouldn't just chase you out of the Basque country; they'd chase you all the way out of Europe! It tasted good; it's hard to make a bad pintxo, but it lacked severely in quantity. It was about 1/3 of a pintxo.
