New American Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

“my name is Tony Bussa and I thought the atmosphere was amazing. staff extremely help full. the food was more than good it was exceptional. this place is 5 star.“

“The food and the service. Both are great.“

“I enjoyed a lovely afternoon brunch with my father this afternoon. We agreed that our experience was so enjoyable because of our amazing server Grace. I am constantly dreaming about the deviled eggs and the chocolate cake, you don’t want to miss out! Grace was very detailed oriented and very cautious about my severe tree nut allergy which made feel at ease. I already can’t wait to go back and Grace will be my preferred server no question!“

“I was invited there for lunch today. Atmosphere is very nice and service was great. Since I wasn't paying I didn't order a steak. I ordered the lasagna special, which came with a side salad and bread. The salad and bread were delicious. The lasagna was good (not great) but the bottom layer was burned. It's made with sausage so has a slight spicy taste. Sauce was good. I was able to eat the top layers fine. Others ordered a cheeseburger and French dip. Each came with fries. They loved their lunches. The fries were shoestring and cooked perfectly. I did taste and they were delicious. Overall, I'd go again but I would probably get a burger and fries. Maybe a steak if I were going to dinner with my husband but honestly I doubt I go for dinner.“

“I can't say enough about our incredible experience tonight at Kona Grill. I just got diagnosed with cancer, had my first chemo last Friday and finally felt well enough to get out. I've loved Kona since the first time I came in 2003 yall. So for me it's one of my favorites. Jacquelyn and Juan could not have made my first outing post chemo/newly bald more memorable. This before they knew I had just experienced a very challenging week. That aside the food was phenomenal, I had the macadamia nut chicken and holy Hannah the dessert! Made in house and absolutely incredible. I simply can't say enough. The environment, the service, the food. Worth every moment.“

“After reading all the amazing reviews, we were set to be blown away at Forno. Overall, we found the food to be ok. Nothing particularly stood out as great. Nice atmosphere, dependable service. Good for a typical lunch or dinner, misses the mark for a special occasion.“

“If there’s a better restaurant in Columbus, I’m not aware of it. Highly recommend, never disappoints!“

“I recently ordered breakfast from Four Seasons Kitchen. I had the Sausage Egg & Cheese Burrito and home fries. The home fries were very good. The burrito was fine, but could have used more flavor. It was mostly egg and potato, with too little sausage to really be noticeable. I wish I had had some hot sauce with me to at least give it some kick. Still, I'd eat there again.“

“Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had dining in Columbus , German Village area, in the last two years.

Not only do the dishes have multiple flavors in each bite which every well chef inspired food place does, but the flavors fit the dish, and it's not what's expected when looking at it when it's sit down in front of you. Excellent Quality, flavors and presentation 5 stars.
However, the pleasantry & knowledge even the way the staff explains the dishes and makes you feel special is what separates this place from others. I sat at the bar and spoke to Alli (super friendly & informative) after about 5 minutes I realized I was going to let her pick my dishes; she knew every dish and ultimately made my AGNI experience one of the best I've had in central Ohio.
HIGHLY recommend , flavors of the sauces (no words can describe) nailed them
Service above and beyond!“

“Josey was an absolute delight!! So attentive, friendly, and helpful - great recommendations and advice! Would request to be seated in her section again. Thank you so much for the attention you paid to my wife and I. You made our honeymoon very special. We couldn't have asked for a better server. :)“

“A very clean place, with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. I continue to frequent this place for all the reasons mentioned above and the variety of the menu. I recommend you visit.“

“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.“

“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.“

“The Bon Aire is AMAZING! The service is impeccable and highly professional! Great customer service, great food, and great drinks!! However, the trash in the parking lot is disgusting and needs to be cleaned up ASAP! The parking lot should match the Bon Aire's amazing experience!!“

“Had a great experience at Parlay! The entire staff was friendly and attentive, but Angie and Meghan truly stood out; they were amazing. Professional, personable, and made the whole visit even better. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“This evening my husband and I met my cousins at The Tavern for dinner. Once again another outstanding meal and outstanding server. I so wish I could remember her name but she was so wonderful and very attentive to say the least. The general manager, Rachel as well is an absolutely amazing person. You can tell she genuinely cares for her customers and staff. We highly recommend you visit The Avenue in Grandview!“

“There was amazing service, it was fast and the waiter was amazing. They were pretty busy when we got here but got seated right away as well as our food was fast and tasted amazing. Definitely a favorite and will come agin“

“Excellent Food, Top Notch Staff... Wonderful place for our Holiday Party... THANK YOU!! 🎄🖖🏻❤️🤍💙☃️❄️🌎🇺🇲“

“Relaxing, entertaining & fun. The food is adequate.“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“I am a frequent visitor to this location for Cap City fine diner. All the employees are wonderful and super friendly. The food always comes out perfectly and if there’s ever an issue, they take care of it immediately. This dining spot has such a great variety and I need to give a shout out to a particular server. Matt is a sheer delight! Super respectful and knowledgeable about the menu.“

“I reserved a table for my husband and I to celebrate our recent marriage. It was Friday night and SO busy. Even though it was packed, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and open to discussing the menu. We were very appreciative of the gluten free modifications they made for us (and a lot of it didn't even need modified). Excellent cocktails and my husband was able to watch Chef and staff prepare (in the main lounge). The Sea Bass was excellent and my husband said the Waygu steak "will haunt my dreams." We finished with Creme Brûlée, which was already gluten free. We will definitely go back again.“

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“We had a fantastic evening at the Guild House. My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there. The Guild House staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate our special occasion. From the personalized note to the complimentary celebratory drink, we couldn't have asked for a better evening!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“We made a late reservation, about 30 minutes until close. I brought some people from a meeting and it was their first time at the Pearl. We were greeted with a smile and Will, our server, gave us excellent and friendly service! My guests were pleased with all of our heavy appetizer selection. I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“The green goddess cocktails are to die for — i dream about them. i also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup platter which was delicious. my server Macy was amazing— seriously one of the best waitresses i’ve had in a long time and always was at our table ready, and brought us things before we even knew to ask for them. She was so great!“

“so the waiter was really sweet & very attentive I believe his name was Malik!! my friend & I saw him tend to several tables with a smile on his face. the food was so good. I had the vegetarian omelette. the drinks are really good too! if you want to try something new, I would recommend!! 🫶“

“A group of friends and I had an amazing time at Denmark's Cocktail 101 class! Garry made the craft of cocktail-making fun and approachable, and had great recommendations and tips and tricks -- even for those in the group who like to think of themselves as cocktail aficionados!

Denmark is one of the best cocktail bars in Columbus, and experiencing a class here is a memorable experience! Highly recommend booking a class.“

“Rossi Kitchen is a great place to dine on the Short North. Our party of three sat at a high-top and received excellent service. We shared calamari with an excellent pesto aioli. Caesar salads were crispy and briny. Our entrees included the ragu, lamb lollipops and salmon over a mixed green salad. All were nicely prepared and tasty. A good time was had by all.“

“If I could leave more stars I would. My child was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and we haven’t had the easiest time finding restaurants that have reasonable accommodations. The staff was so patient and kind while I asked our list of questions to ensure they eat safely. Our server even went to the back to receive confirmation from the back of the house on all ingredients. Thankful to have found a Crohn’s friendly restaurant!“

“We love this place! But didn't check my order before we left tonight and it was wrong. Bad me. Didn't get the sub I ordered and all was cold. Just check your order before you leave.“

“Our server Lyra made the whole experience. She was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Would ask to sit in her section again if we visit again. Food and drinks were good and the s’mores pizookie was enjoyed.“

“So delicious. The food was fresh, hot, and welly seasoned. Prices were great too for what you got (large portions). I loved it so much and my friend did too. We will go here every time we are visiting columbus!“

“We ordered the chicken and waffles, a Baileys Irish coffee, and a side of bacon. The waffle was amazing the only thing was it may have been maybe sitting under a light for a while becuase there was a portion of it that was crispy like chips, I didn't care for that at all. The coffee was lukewarm, and my bacon was overcooked. But the reason i gave them 5 stars is because the service was SUPERB! We were visiting and didn't know of any places to go so we asked the waitress and they took their time and gave us a list of a couple places we could visit in the city and to me that in itself was awesome. Also the waitress removed the overcooked bacon and the lukewarm coffee from my tab, when she noticed that I didn't eat it, without me even having to ask, although I wouldn't have, I would've just paid for it. This place was clean and it was absolutely, for us, worth it.“

“Good food good service!!! Highly recommended!!“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“I love The Kitchen!!! It is a beautiful space with amazing staff!! My boyfriend and I have attended multiple participatory dinner events with each one being better than the last. The details of each event are so thought thru it make's it easy to relax and enjoy. Not to mention the delicious food and wine.“

“I am never disappointed by Service Bar. Last night was part of restaurant week and the selections were great. The food really impressed me as usual. The chef was spot on! The drinks too were tastey! Our service was fantastic. Our server was attentive but also, others who delivered the food, checked in on us, etc. were so receptive and pleasant. I will surely go back again!“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“This establishment is family owned, with live music on the weekend, great happy hour along with very nice service. I have been a customer of the Canabar for a very long time, definitely would recommend meeting your friends there!!!“

“Huge Thanks to Bernard’s Tavern & the Amazing Breanna!

First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank Bernard’s Tavern for welcoming us and allowing us to host our wedding party at your fantastic establishment. We had such a great time, and it was the perfect spot to celebrate such a special moment . A special and heartfelt shoutout goes to our incredible bartender, Breanna. She was absolutely amazing quick, efficient, and always one step ahead. She went above and beyond for our group, even handing out waters without us asking and making sure we had everything we needed all night long.Not only is she stunning, but her personality shines even brighter. Breanna made everyone feel welcome and cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of us. Everyone in our party loved her!From Chicago to Ohio, we thank you so much, Breanna. If we’re ever back in town, you can count on us stopping by to see you again, girlie!“

“I had the small wedge salad and added chicken. It was a nice sized portion with about half a grilled chicken breast sliced. It was good but nothing stood out to make it any better than most wedge salads. Being able to choose a size and add protein was a bonus. We shared a small order of onion rings that were fresh, hot and delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try! We each had a cocktail and that was definitely the highlight for me as it had been a long and stressful day. Being able to sit out on the patio after the rained had cooled off the hot day made our meal even more enjoyable.“

“Great food! Camden was a great server!“

“We had the delight of being served by Delaney. We enjoyed the crispy rice, chili chicken bowl, and surgery & turf sushi. She accidentally dropped a piece of silverware on my daughter's dress, but she was extremely quick with the soda water and it came right off. This was the kind of service every place should have!“

“so the waiter was really sweet & very attentive I believe his name was Malik!! my friend & I saw him tend to several tables with a smile on his face. the food was so good. I had the vegetarian omelette. the drinks are really good too! if you want to try something new, I would recommend!! 🫶“

“I asked for a table with armrests for my shoulder pain and they went and switched the leather chairs in the waiting area to a table by the patio. I was stunned and we enjoyed a great meal.“
