Goodale Station is one of our favorite places in Columbus! We usually go in the evenings but we've also enjoyed their brunch. Every time we go, the drinks are of exceptional quality, the food is creative and delicious, and the staff are friendly but never pushy and are extremely professional, and always willing to have a conversation about the alcohol offerings (or any other topic!). The staff have also offered recommendations for drinks based on preferences and enjoy making custom drinks. The ambiance of this space is unparalleled - you almost feel transported to the 1940s with the moody aesthetic and lighting. There is a rooftop terrace with comfortable seating, a fire ring, and amazing views of downtown Columbus. There is typically music playing, but it is rarely too loud, which is much appreciated as it is easy to have a conversation. Prices are on the higher end, but on par with other restaurants in the area, and absolutely fair for the quality of food and drink offered. There are food options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten intolerance.
One of my favorites - 10/10 recommend!!

We went during a slow period and it was wonderful! Chill atmosphere and great service. The drinks were fantastic and we hope to come back to try again. 10/10 would recommend the cereal dessert

Goodale Station is truly a gem in Columbus. From the moment I arrived, the experience was welcoming and elevated. James, the bartender, was exceptional. He was professional, warm, & incredibly knowledgeable about both the cocktails & food. He made thoughtful recommendations based on what I was in the mood for & everything he suggested was spot on.
His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the visit even more enjoyable.
The menu itself is eclectic & internationally-inspired, offering a creative range of dishes that are both flavorful & beautifully plated. L
Whether you stop in for a casual drink or a full dinner, there’s something for every person.
What I especially love about Goodale Station is how versatile the space is… it’s perfect for a date night, a work meeting, solo travelers, or even someone who needs to get a little work done in a stylish & comfortable setting. It strikes a rare balance between upscale & approachable.
Of course, the views are arguably one of the best in Columbus. Watching the sunset over the downtown skyline from the rooftop is an experience in itself…. absolutely stunning.
Highly recommend this spot for both locals & visitors alike.

Food was very underwhelming, especially for the price. The view was beautiful, the company was great. We won’t be back, we’ve had better.

Incredible experience at the Goodale station. Beatiful settings, great service with food to match!
We were seated by the window so the evening started off with the great view. Our daughter had a martin (Porn Star), which she said was very good. We only went for appetizers but it was more than enough for all of us: Charcuterie (I think this was the only miss as there was nothing special about the cheeses, just your average of the mill cheeses), strawberry fennel, Salmon Tartare, Smoked Trout Dip, Shishito Peppers and Korean Buns - everything else (except that one mentioned previously) was absolutely great.
For the dessert, we went for chocolate cremeux and it was incredible. Plus, our server (Soto - hats off to you, great job for the service!!!) when he found out that we are here for special occasion (our daughters graduation) gave 4 macaroons, which our daughter absolutely loved.
So fantastic experience overall!!!

Had dinner here on the balcony on a Monday evening and there was no wait. The meal was delicious, as were the cocktails. The view was great and the staff attentive.

The food was excellent! We had around around 1:30 on a Saturday and it was not crowded or loud. Our server was amazing. We greatly enjoyed our experience.

Food was just ok. One diner said her rice was mushy and found a hair. We needed catchup and our waitress was gone for a long time.

We went for Easter brunch buffet. It was worth it. The food was amazing and there was a huge variety. 🤗 We sat outside on the patio! It was a whole experience! Will be definitely be going back!
This been a plave for me and loved ones for years.. they always come through and provide comforting vibes, a view, & great service. Will always recommend to the homies & family!

We had a very nice Easter brunch experience. Food was tasty and service very good. An attractive venue.

Great roof-top patio with good views. The food was good, not great, but the atmosphere makes up for that. We had no problem getting a reservation on short notice, which is great considering it was one of the first warmer weekend evenings.

This was our valentines dinner out and I would rather have had stayed home and ordered a pizza. Our service was absolutely terrible. Our server, Dustin , was very short and to the point when I noticed him being much kinder and spending more time with tables near us that were heterosexual couples. My cocktail and our appetizer of Brussels sprouts were delicious but our entree of trumpet mushrooms and sunchoke risotto was the most bland food I've ever tasted and it was $28! This was after the server told us it was fabulous. Dustin never took our menus from us, we had to ask for water, which he then spilled on the table and did not clean up. We also had to ask for a food runner to clear our plates. We also ordered a bottle of wine that was listed as a 2016 Bordeaux that we were excited for because of its age and when brought to the table it was a 2018. I asked about the age of the wine and when he went back to check on it Dustin said that it was a misprint, that is understandable but there was no compensation for their false advertising. This place is such a joke I will never be back!

The red curry black cod was amazing! My husband enjoyed the burger. (Husband said the Long Island was too bitter.) Wait staff was friendly. Not the best place to be on a Sat night if you want deep conversation. It was a bit loud. Great view!!
