Moran's Bar and Grille is my favorite restaurant that I visited during my time in Columbus. The pastas are fantastic, and the sandwiches are of exquisite flavor. The service-- incredible. We got our food very fast and the waiters were very nice. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the outdoor seating has an amazing view of the city.

I have never been here before and thought I would try it out before the CBJ game. It's a 5ish minute walk to the arena. You don't have to cross any streets to walk from Moran's to Nationwide. I do recommend getting here before 5pm at the latest on game days if you don't want to wait for a table. It fills up fast! I ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. Big enough to eat as a meal, but not too big that I couldn't finish it all. It comes with fries and Cajun mayo. I don't eat mayo, so I ordered buffalo sauce to dip it in. 100/10 recommend. The bartender (I forget her name ) was extremely sweet and attentive even though she was slammed with a full bar plus making drinks for the patrons at tables. She did great. It's a small place, but the staff seemed very put together and quick! The only downside I would say is there was no happy hour while I was there. Not sure if I missed it (which is fine) or they just don't have one. I feel like if they did have a good one, they would do well.

I went before the Avs v. CBJ game. First time visit, enjoyed the Front Street Burger. Was worth the price, which is rare for a burger in past experiences in places for me personally. Waitress was great. Definitely will come back whenever I come back for Blue Jackets games.

Had a great dinner before the Penguins and Blue Jacket game. The staff all hustled and the food was good, but when we got back to our hotel after the game we realized we left our toddlers blanket.
Donovan stayed an extra 20 minutes after closing to wait for us!!! Seriously thank you so much!!
Top notch service!!

Needed someplace to eat before a game at Nationwide. We ended up here, and the good was pretty good, service was great, and even my kids enjoyed it. Atmosphere was average bar...

Great menus great food and service. We had 10 people for lunch and they took very good care of us. I ask our waitress to say a prayer and bless our meal. She did great. Thank

We visited on a sports trip and the service was excellent! Food was delicious. The staff was friendly and were very kind to all at the table children and adults. We were made to feel welcome from the time we entered.

Great for a group of 8. Perfect spot to eat before a Columbus Fury match. Hawaiian chicken sandwich and chicken tenders were delicious! Other meals our group tried looked great, too. Attentive service!

A restaurant next to an arena, you never know what you're going to get. This is a solid establishment. Great service! Jaime S. was fantastic and attentive without making us feel rushed! Pictured are the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Also the Lynne's Chicken Sandwich and the Front Street Burger. Both Sandwiches were delicious!!! Won't hesitate to return.

My husband and I visited Moran's a few weeks ago for dinner before an event downtown and were really happy with our experience. The place was packed, so we were worried it might take awhile, but service was quick and friendly. We were seated much quicker than they estimated and someone was at our table for our drink order right away. Drinks and food were so good! We split a fried chicken salad, mozzarella sticks (they were huge!), and jalapeño cheddar hush puppies. Everything was really good and flavorful. It's definitely open and loud-ish, so not a place to go for a quiet intimate date, but it was a pretty nice place to spend a meal before a show. Based on our experience, I'd recommend checking it out!
First time visiting here, the entire staff was fantastic. We will be back.

Came here for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised how good of quality the food was. Started with mozzarella sticks, which are hand made - delic. All their dressings are home made and our entrees were really great quality. For the price we were very impressed! Wish this was in Grandview ;)

Saturday night! The lights inside were super bright, not inviting! Felt rushed! The staff was in a hurry to leave, they did not care about the patrons.
