New American Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

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

“If you’ve ever hesitated about Twin Peaks, do yourself a favor and just go! The service is always a huge part of what makes the experience great, and Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are the best of the best. They’re attentive, friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular every time you walk in. They know how to keep things running smoothly while making sure everyone feels taken care of.

I especially enjoy sitting at the bar because the atmosphere and service make the whole experience that much better. These ladies go above and beyond, and their hard work deserves to be recognized. Great service, great energy, and a great overall experience every time.

Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are a big reason I keep coming back to Twin Peaks Polaris! Management, take care of these ladies because they’re an absolute asset to your team. Highly recommend! 🍻“

“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!“

“First Time It didn't disappoint we definitely will be back . I found out about the place on Instagram the pictures were on point and the Drinks as well as the food was outstanding .“

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

“🍷 Growing up in Italy, I’m naturally a little picky when it comes to Italian food, but Forno Kitchen + Bar has become one of my favorite spots here. I often come for their wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, both full of authentic flavor that instantly take me back to evenings in Turin. The warm atmosphere, paired with a good glass of wine, makes every visit feel like a little taste of home“

“Beautiful dining area! Having a great evening.“

“This restaurant was a gem. My husband and I visited and sat at the bar for some small bites. The staff was incredible and kind. They found out we were visiting Columbus to celebrate our anniversary and gifted us drinks and dessert. What a lovely and incredibly delicious meal! 5 stars ⭐️“

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

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

“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.“

“My husband and I have order from them twice now through door dash. We enjoy their food! It is so 😋 tasty!

I looked them up here since we just now discussed maybe one day actually traveling to eat here. They've not made any mistakes thus far, but even then we tend to be a gracious bunch 😜“

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

“Best restaurant, especially for people wanting clean, healthy and food-sensitivity safe options. I travel often and this is the only place I can go knowing I have no worries on food choices. I have Lyme Disease and usually pull food out of my purse at restaurants while others eat off the menu; here I feel normal again. EVERYTHING, seriously EVERYTHING tastes amazing. To know me is to know Townhall is my go-to spot in Columbus and Cleveland. Big fan of Rebol and Green Goat too.
Beautiful, chill vibes are a bonus.“

“Always a great time at The Avenue, but Brady really set the bar tonight. Constantly checking on us, very attentive to us and everyone around us, and never skipped a beat when it came to explaining specials and answering our questions. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Denmark On High is a true Columbus gem!!! I absolutely loved this place! I participated in the Cocktail Making Class for my Sister-In-Law's Bachelorette Party a few weeks ago, and had an absolute blast! Gato is the best bartender and instructor ever!! He was a ton of fun and the drinks were some of the best I've ever had in Columbus!!! I will absolutely visit this bar again and I look forward to trying more drinks. I highly recommend this bar for everyone 21+ !!!!“

“Went there after a terrible experience with the other guys across the parking lot. Alexander’s was really good- get the spinach side- best ever.

Whet really made the experience was the team at the bar- made me feel valued, appreciated, and important.

They recommended the chicken pasta soup- so happy they told me about it!

The team- Amanda, Autum, Kieran were top notch!“

“Amazing birthday dinner.. I ordered twin lobster tails. We split a wedge salad and bread basket. Husband had teriyaki salmon which was melt in your mouth perfection. Free birthday dessert was warm butter cake with fresh fruit, ice cream and raspberry sauce. Absolute perfection and amazing service. Thank you for a great celebration.“

“Nicole was super friendly and even recognized me (and my order) when I showed up the next day for breakfast! Environment was pretty quiet for the morning which was a nice start, not too hectic. The yogurt bowl portion size aas actually surprisingly good too.“

“My girlfriends and I come here once a month for breakfast before we go and play board games all day. First of all, the food could be terrible but we’d still come back because the wait staff is so personable and friendly. But the food is also always amazing so that is a perk! It doesn’t matter who our waiter is they all seem to meander over to say hi. Always so attentive and genuinely seem like they’re happy to be at work. I can’t wait until our next visit.“

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

“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.“

“Wow! Hailey hit it out of the park for our impromptu breakfast quest that led us here! She was stellar in every way. Best service we have had on a trip & the tips and tricks on how she perfects her Bloody Marys was A plus! We can’t wait to come back next year and return- truffle eggs were so good!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“We really enjoyed The Pearl! We felt comfortable from the minute we walked in, and there were so many great choices on the menu. We tried the hanger steak and the salmon, and both were excellent. The cocktails were amazing too.

And definitely try the Devils on Horseback. So good!

Great food, great atmosphere, and just an all-around enjoyable dinner. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Columbus.“

“I dined here for dinner several times while visiting Columbus and was in search of healthful gluten free options. WOW the quality of the food here is excellent for the price point. The gluten free buns are delicious and soft. The zero proof cocktails are not overly sweet. Atmosphere is lovely and service is too notch. I wish I could pick this place up and take it home with me! I would be a regular. So impressed!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“I had the privilege of being the day of coordinator for a couples wedding reception and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. From communications with Lauren, the excellent presentation and delicious menu to the service staff and banquet captain Anni, it could not have gone any better. The guest repeatedly complimented the atmosphere and how good the skewers were! The DJ had worked this venue in the past and stated the food is amazing and always a good time, so it appears they are consistent. Looking forward to attending their next public event!“

“We had a delightful Christmas Eve dinner with appetizers and three different entrees. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and our favorite! The sauce was wonderful!“

“Went on Valentine’s Day without reservations. Were told a 45 minute wait for a table, or immediate seating at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar. Our waiter Maurice was quick to provide service and very friendly and informative. We both ordered the pacific combo and it was delivered in probably 10 minutes! It was outstanding and we were so stuffed we couldn’t even finish it, all the crab legs were filled with meat (never got an empty one) and everything was exceptional. We drove 2 hours to eat here and would do it again! Thank you Maurice!“

“Listen!!! Day Cocktails and Food at Its FINEST!!! The Bonette and Onion Rings SLAPPED!!!!Will definitely RETURN!!! Very Soon!!! Love J.Ross see you soon Boo!“

“We had a large group (10 people) go in for brunch today. I rarely leave my house due to health reasons. This was a very lovely, relaxing time. The food was delicious and service was great. Thank you very much!“

“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!!!“

“This week, we came in as a party of seven, and Faith took great care of us. The service was extremely fast, especially considering the size of our group.
I had the Turkey Club, while someone else had the Cuatro Tacos, another had a hamburger with onion rings, and the rest of the group enjoyed the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinners.
Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. All of our meals were great, and everyone left happy. Great food and great service—what more could you ask for!“

“Bodega is one of those places that knows exactly what it is and leans into it. A low-key, no-frills neighborhood dive with just enough charm to make you want to hang out longer than you planned.

The funnel cake fries are the real surprise hit. Crispy, fluffy, perfectly dusted with sugar and dangerously easy to keep eating. I honestly came in for a drink and left thinking about those fries.

Huge shoutout to Salim behind the bar. Super friendly, attentive, and bringing just the right mix of smooth and playful energy that makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. He made the whole experience better.

Bodega may not be trying to be fancy, and that’s part of its appeal. It’s a relaxed, easygoing spot with good vibes, great service, and snacks that punch way above their weight.

Would come back, especially for those funnel cake fries and Salim’s hospitality.“

“The Lamb was really good. A little too spicy for me but still very good. We also liked the scallops. The cocktails were very refreshing and the desserts were delicious. We love the atmosphere as well.“

“Chicken and Waffles were delicious!“

“Really enjoyed SoCal Kitchen + Bar. We started by sharing the Brussels sprouts, stuffed garlic bread, and guacamole, and all three were a hit. The Brussels sprouts were especially good and had so much flavor.

For my meal, I had the Chili Peanut Chicken Bowl without cucumber because of my allergy, and it was delicious. The peanut sauce was so good, and everything in the bowl worked really well together. I also ordered the For the Win cocktail and loved it. It was fresh, fruity, and not overly sweet.

One of the best parts of the experience was our server. We had several different food allergies in our group, and he handled everything so well. He was patient, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable ordering. It made the whole meal feel easy and enjoyable.

Definitely a place I’d go back to when we’re in Columbus again.“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“We sat on the patio tonight and had a lovely time. My boyfriend started to feel (unrelated) ill midway through our time. Our server (I’m sorry I forgot her name) was so gracious. She got us boxes and the check so quickly so we could leave. The kitchen made a mistake and were so quick to make it right, but the mistake ended up in my favor so we were all happy. All I can say is the green beans were fresh and great! ;) Thank you for a memorable evening. I can’t wait to return when we’re both feeling up to it.“

“I’m not even kidding when I say this brunch burger is the best thing that has ever touched my mouth. maybe i was really hungry but also i left zero crumbs. the egg was so perfect. also the maple syrup was surprisingly really tasty on the burger. anyways 10/10 burger and i highly recommend“

“Met my daughter and her fiance here for lunch one weekend. It was our first time eating here. We all loved the food, the service, and the cleanliness. Highly recommend this place! I'll definitely be going back!“

“The best of the best. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“
