This was an incredible restaurant! The tapas style menu is perfect for ordering several things to share. Flavors were incredible and we will surely be back to try the things we didn't have room for! Our service was excellent as well. Definitely recommend!

Jackson was our server and did an excellent job. My only suggestion would be that for the price of the cocktails, a more generous pour; or a more generous happy hour discount.

I took a friend to Lupe for her birthday because my husband and I have been there 3-4 times and loved it. The food has always been great but they lost their previous chef and then there fairly new chef injured her arm so wasn't working that night. My friend got the curry with shrimp but it arrived w/o shrimp. We didn't know that right away but then told the waitress. She soon brought some large shrimp which were not cooked through. My friends meal was not warm by the time the shrimp arrived and she didn't want them undercooked. The manager took that meal off our bill which was a good thing. I had the salmon and that was fine but it was on a bed of glass noodles which were too salty and not much bok choy. The whole dinner was pretty disappointing but an assistant chef had to pitch in at the last minute. I will go again but check the menu and ask if their regular chef if there. We did get a chocolate gluten-free cake served on a blood orange coulee which was very good and that was on the house for our birthday celebration.

Wonderful Food, wine and service. I continue to be impressed by the changing menu and excellent Thursday night value

First time at Lupo. All four of us thought our entrees were excellent, and we will return. Service was attentive and timely. Some very good cocktails.

First time at Lupo's and will be back! Not a huge menu but we all enjoyed what we had. Thought outside (where we sat and under heat lamps, which was nice) provided a touch more ambiance than inside, but that said, would absolutely try dining inside. Love trying out ‘new' places (for us) like this and as mentioned above, will be back!

The restaurant was much louder than we could tolerate. Conversation was difficult. The miso salmon was far too salty. Overall, prices were higher than I would have expected. Our service, however, was excellent.

We usually love Lupo's but our service last night was just awful. We waited a good 15 minutes before our server showed up to our table, another 15 or mare for our drinks and later over 20 minutes for a glass of wine and a beer. Although our food was good the slow service and the ambivalence of our server made out night less than enjoyable.

Our group of 8 was seated in the old bank vault, where we enjoyed an intimate evening together. The food was spot on, and the service was attentive. Our group overwhelmingly loved the birria tacos, burrata, and halibut dishes. Would definitely recommend for an upscale yet casual evening.

Order one of everything. The food is original and amazing and never fails to disappoint. If they have grilled octopus on the menu, order it.
Our Server forgot to put our entrees in order. A simple mistake is of course excusable. But he didn't tell us this until 1 hour had gone by and we were still waiting for our food. I was not happy. They did comp the meal which was appreciated. I had the pork shank which was very good. My wife's smashburger was, per her words, "lacking in flavor."

Had great experiences at Lupo twonweekends in a row. Hreat food and drinks, attentive, helpful, friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. And they don't play music, so it's easy to talk to yourr companions.

I was there for an early diner and was not expecting that many young children. It may have been due to being there in the early evening. Menu was an interesting assortment of dishes and I was informed that it changes almost daily. Food was good and service was great.

My favorite local restaurant always has a fresh menu, menu is always changing, service is excellent, big shout out to locally owned, culinary driven dining experience. We need more places like this in Columbus.

I'm very disappointed in the menu change. We went to Lupo with the old menu in mind (more Spanish and Mediterranean Tapas-like items) and unfortunately found out that Lupo has a new chef and a new type of cuisine. Two of the items were really good (croquettes and octopus tacos), but the mixed salad was terrible! The chipotle dressing was so overpowering (spicy) that it was hard to enjoy the other flavors in the salad. The server was kind enough to ask the chef to prepare a less spicy dressing and brought that out with another salad. However, that also took a long time. I'm used to eating spicy food, but this was way too spicy for a salad. It also seemed that the restaurant was understaffed on the weekend night we visited and consequently, the service was only fair. We had reservations and there was no line when we arrived, but we were told by four different people we would be helped soon. It took 20 minutes to get our beverages. I loved the "old" Lupo, but sadly I don't think I'll be returning.
