New American Restaurants near Gahanna, OH

“Love this place! A mix between fine dining and comfort food. I’ve been twice and both times I had a fantastic experience. It’s important that I add that I have celiac’s disease and I cannot have gluten or it’s cross contamination. This restaurant and their other concepts come highly recommended by others with celiac and they’re totally right when they say that they take good care of folks with allergies. I feel very safe eating here and haven’t gotten sick after. I also need to add that I’ve had the same server both times, Carlos, and he is incredible! He is very knowledgeable and kind and doesn’t make me feel like my allergy is an inconvenience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone but especially to anyone with allergies.“

“Only regrets....not taking pics of the apps! Brussel sprouts, deviled eggs and pot stickers oh my! So good! Two thumbs up for the burgers and Philly too! The pep pizza and margarita pizza were yummy! Only upgrade recommended is a balsamic glaze drizzled on top of the Margherita pizza. Thanks for having cloud chaser on draft and supporting the Crooked can in old Hilliard!“

“Kristinna was wonderful.Food is excellent. There was a lot of people at the restaurant and it was loud, which was great.Parking: Lots of people hanging out in the parking lot. Not leaving just hanging out. Leaving it difficult to get in and out.“

“Outstanding isn’t a strong enough word for the food and service. Incredible experience and likely the best dining experience that I’ve ever had in Columbus. Only complaint was the temperature in the restaurant. We were freezing for the entire two hours that we were in there.“

“Amazing experience here! We sat at the bar and the food was flavorful, and lively. Sean served us creative, complex cocktails. I mean truly memorable. Think you've had a good mojito? Try one here. Seriously, any of Sean's creations will engage flavors in a rare and elevated way. I don't think I've had a better cocktail experience.“

“Fist visit. Business entertainment for a party of 7. Round of cocktails followed by shared appetizers - roasted sausage, basil and mozzarella, and one other. Entrees were ricotta and sweet pea ravioli, lamb loin, seafood stew, and spinach gnocchi. All diners were happy campers. Seafood stew was probably the highlight. Shared desserts were tiramisu and vanilla bean cheesecake. Service was very good. Recommended! Damages with tip was $575.“

“This hidden gem is absolutely amazing. From the food to the service - this place is 5 stars across the board. We’ve ordered different menu items every visit, and they’re always top notch. The short rib burger is in my top 3 best burgers of all time. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Columbus!“

“Visited Columbus for a few weeks and tried dinner at many restaurants. This was the only restaurant that I made sure to circle back to. Everything that was ordered as a group was shared and it was all a hit!!! Almost all of the appetizers Spoon pudding, Deviled eggs, wings, tots, mussels, wrapped dates, pie, Beet salad, just to name a few!“

“I was looking for a good place to try afternoon tea and stumbled upon this restaurant. Asterisk has a very nice ambiance, with a dark academia look using books as menus and different pattern tea ware. You do not need a reservation to come here because there is a large shared table in the middle, but it is recommended for a smaller private table. The seats at the large table are very close together and personally do not want to be bumping elbows while I eat. The afternoon tea service was a joy. You can pick as many teas as you like and choose from a variety of finger sandwiches. The service is very good and the servers will explain anything on their menu that you need. The dinner menu has very nice options, but I was not entirely impressed with the flavor. I mainly come here for the atmosphere, but the food isn't terrible, just not amazing. I still recommend this place for an intimate meal or a joyful tea time.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options.Parking: There are parking lots a couple blocks away or street parking if available.Kid-friendliness: It is more of an adult atmosphere.“

“The environment here is always buzzing and lively, and the staff is always going above and beyond. I go with my friends for casual dinners and drinks at least twice a month, and I've never had a bad experience. I absolutely love the grilled cheese bites with tomato soup, and I love how much the drink menu changes.“

“We had an incredible experience when we were in town for the Arnold. We made an unplanned decision to have lunch at The Guild House and couldn’t have been more impressed, by not only the food, but their incredible hospitality. They’re doing right.“

“This has become one of my favorite restaurants food is always delicious and service is always top tier. Our waiter was wonderful he engaged with us, also kept checking in on us to make sure everything was up to standard. I had a reservation for 7:45 p.m, but I made a call and they were able to get me in at 7:15 p.m which was great due to them being really busy due to prom season. I wish they would bring back the little crossiant that came with the salad they were really good but thanks again for a wonderful dinner for me and my family.“

“What a great place; Modern open decor with a cozy feel. They offer several Vegan and GF options, Our food was fantastic! We had the Fish Sandwich, Beef Chow Fung, and the 40 Yolk Tagliatelle. I tried them all and they were great. I had the Tropicalia Cocktail, it was refreshing and delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“We had a great waiter! The food was good and the drinks were great! The only complaint was our table was small but we didn’t make a reservation so it was hard to get a table!! I loved the expresso martini and mimosas!! My calamari, shrimp, and pizza were so good!! I’d definitely come back!!“

“Me and a friend went here for dinner and drinks, and it did not disappoint!! We shared the Margherita pizza, the arugula salad with the amish grilled chicken added on, and truffle fries. Each and every dish was SO YUMMY!!! And it was more than enough food for us to split among the two of us. The Amish chicken was divine, so tender & flavorful. Not only that, but our server was so kind and helpful with recommendations. Their drinks were 10/10 as well and strong! I ordered the why is it spicy and my friend ordered a mule. We were both pleased with them! The ambiance is lively and the inside is a great balance of rustic and cute. Great option for a girls night & date night. I will be coming again!“

“Ate here twice in the past 2 days. Gyro hit the spot for dinner last night, had to go back again for lunch today. Carryout is super fast, friendly service & quite the tasty meal. I love the crunchy bits of gyro meat too. Will definitely be back!“

“The pizza was good. We split a mushroom one. If you are really hungry you could probably eat a whole pie yourself. We split a small salad and one pie and we were good. Service was great and food came out pretty quick. It was a bit loud and holding a conversation was cumbersome. Beer selection is good. Several local brews on tap or in can. No mints on the way out… booParking: We got lucky and grabbed the only available spot in the parking lot next to the restaurant. I imagine there is more parking near by and we were there at the busiest time for dinner.“

“Fast, friendly, super clean and the food was flavorful. Didn’t even need salt and pepper which isn’t always the case with health conscious spots. I got the turkey and sweet potato dish. If you’re deciding on if you should get the green smoothie or not.. do it!!“

“Dining at Alqueira was the experience that I’ve been searching for but not finding amongst the restaurants who seem to be trying too hard. The locally sourced and changing menu is prepared and presented in simple ways yet delivers deep and delicious flavors across all their dishes. We’ll be back the next time we visit Columbus.“

“This is a dope breakfast spot on the OSU campus. I'm glad I got up and went early. I got there by 8:30 a.m. and they were packed within 20 minutes. When I left about 9:30 a.m. it was line outside. Good service, good food and drinks. Very reasonable priced. Everything I seen brought out the kitchen looked good. The atmosphere was cool too. I'd go back if I lived in Columbus.“

“Food was good, not the best but good. Service was excellent. My strawberry shortcake pancakes were good, they were a little raw. Sft very good. Eggs Benedict were ok, avocado was too ripe. The sauce on the eggs was bland. No flavor at all.“

“Food top of the tippy top shatta ! Seasoned nice to match the meats . My gosh 100% AUTHENTIC!! Get your Jamaican food fill up here . Was a little bit of wait . But the food SOLID !!Vegetarian options: You can order cabbage , plantains and other meatless meals .“

“I love this place! I ate lunch here every dayI was in the city! I ate in and did take out. Brussel sprouts, cauliflower bites, the BECKY!!!… everything was delicious. There was one day they were very short staffed so service was understandably slow, but everyone was still kind, efficient and really killed it honestly! The little red corvette frozen marg was amazing!My only complaint is that I tripped on the broken floor boards at the table behind the bar… the floor there is pretty damaged.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options“

“First time here and I must say I will be back the place makes you feel welcomed and have a home body experience the chicken and waffles was amazing the tequila sunrise is a must try I sat upfront and seen the place become crowded so it's a lot of people who come through I will be back that will be my go to places for breakfast every time I visit ColumbusParking: If you can find a spot on a Saturday morning in the front you got a good spot but it's a parking lot across from it and you can park there if it's not crowded“

“We looked at making a reservation on a Friday and they were booked up until 815pm. So we just decided to stop by anyways and they actually had comfortable seating at the bar. Our bartender/server was very attentive. She was very knowledgeable about the different signature cocktails they offered. The first mixed drink we tried was "Whats the buzz"! I believe that the correct name. You are to take these two flowers that make your mouth number for a couple of minutes and then drink some of the drink. I don't know how I feel about that drink. The second one she tried was the "Agave Cooler" and was good. For our meal, she has the fried chicken sliders, and I had the New York Strip well done. The sliders were good, but the steak was a bit dry. It seemed like they put it on the grill for the grill marks and then nuked it in the microwave. The steak had no juice at all underneath it on the plate. If I ate steak sauce with my steaks, today would have been the day to do so. I told the server, and she knocked some off of my bill. I didn't expect anything from telling her, but it was much appreciated. I'd still give them a 5 star for the overall experience!!“

“Nice bar with a relaxed modern atmosphere. You have to order everything at the bar and then bring it to your seating. I especially liked that there were 2 people playing chess and that the bartender came up with a non alcoholic cocktail I really enjoyed.“

“This place is awesome! Great food and great service, Kenna was our server and it was so refreshing to be served by someone who actually takes their job seriously and tries to make it an experience for you!!! we will definitely be back whenever we visit Columbus again :)“

“Went here to eat brunch but they said they only do brunch on weekends. Service was good and I ordered tavern stack burger. It had tomato jam and it worked with other ingredients. We ordered corn bread for appetizer. It was really good too. Definitely will visit again to try brunch if i have chance.“

“I have a soft spot in my heart for Eggs Benedict. If it’s on the menu at a restaurant I haven’t been to before, I have to order it.The serving size is excellent. They give you a lot of food. Ask for the homemade hot sauce, it’s legit.The Eggs Benedict is ok. The sauce needs more acidity - add more lemon! It’s smooth and buttery but under seasoned. My daughter had the Big Bite and enjoyed it. It’s a good portion of food.The buttered toast is delicious.Overall, the hash browns needed seasoning. I had them add onions and cheese to the hash browns. I think a little cook on the onions would have made them perfect.It’s someplace I would return to but I’d try something different.The service was excellent. Our waitress was kind.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Parlay. The atmosphere was incredible. The perfect spot to watch March Madness. My bartenders were super attentive and friendly, and gave recommendations for other things to do while in town. Food was delicious. 5/5 stars and would absolutely come back if in the area again.“

“Top notch dive bar in Columbus if not the best. -incredibly nice people that work here -best "bar" food I've ever eaten. Can't go wrong with fried pickles, wings, buffalo chicken sandwich, or any of their wraps. For the impression you have walking into the place the food knocks your boots off -incredibly affordable across the board. Whether it's a deal they're running or just the general local kind pricing of them they're always incredibly reasonable (especially when comparing to a ~$13 vodka soda at a Standard Hall type of place) -lastly a great atmosphere. Relatively lowkey people all around and great spot to go to for a prime time sports game“

“It's your typical industrial chic bar, with a decent selection of local drafts, and service that meets expectations.It's a short but noticable walk from the mall, especially in the rain. There are free parking garages all around.I didn't personally care for the draft choices, but it was perfect for my situation, which was to catch up with some friends after an all day event. The hidden gem of this place is their Ramen Spiced Mac n Cheese. It was so good and packed a little heat. I'm considering going back for that alone.Vegetarian options: While there aren't a ton of options, they are clearly marked on the menu and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my dish.Parking: There are free lots and garages all around this town center.Wheelchair accessibility: Typical wheelchair accessibility but parking is a little far.“

“Best hamburger! Love that they grill the bun on both sides! They'll cook it medium-rare if you want it that way. If you ask for extra crispy fries, you'll get them extra crispy! Good vibes! Easy place to hang out. Great staff! Great beverages. Fair prices! YUM! IT'S MY FAVORITE PLACE“

“One Red Door Burger is awesome!!! Delicious... I'm sure any burger there is good though. The service was good, fast, and it was clean. Nice atmosphere. It was the first time in a while that I have had a tasty burger. Definitely recommend Flip Side!“

“Love this idea! You can order one of their salads or choose your own ingredients. They chop it all up right in front of you. Can be rather pricey. So it couldn't be a daily lunch thing. But a great salad treat. I just wish there was one in Springfield, OH.“

“We have been trying to get to the Rossi for sometime . Finally made it and we were not disappointed! We also very surprised to find that our reservation was so early we could take advantage of happy hour drinks and half price appetizers! Between the three of us, we started with Brussels, fried ravioli and bread service. We do not often rave about restaurant bread, however, this bread was amazing. Fluffy, crusty, and perfectly balance with the creamy butter it came with. Apps were great! As for mains, two of us had Pasta Rossi along with one lasagna. Every one of us enjoyed our dinner. Delicious. A small imperfection about this restaurant is that there is no bar to have a drink at or wait. The bar is usurped by seating reserved for eating patrons. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived for our reservation. Instead of being able to wait at the bar we walked to another bar within a close distance, but it would've been nice to just have stayed in one spot . Food is delicious, service was spot on and the vibe was great.“

“My company had our holiday party here and it was absolutely amazing. I loved the ambiance of the establishment and the setup for dinner. All the staff we're super amazing and hands on the entire time. They engaged with us at every stage of preparing our meal and we all walked away with great tips. As you can see from my photos, our meal was absolutely amazing and delicious. I also loved the open bar and being offered the opportunity to take an old fashioned cocktail making course. I highly recommend anyone to not only book this venue, but to also check out their other events as well.“

I located this on Yelp, and swung into Milestone 229. It is not a usual place that I would grab lunch, I felt out of place dressed casual and everyone else was in suits and ties, but it wasn't bad. Waitress was nice but was busy and took a while to get refills. Food was decent size; I had the prime rib sandwich with the dipping sauce. It had a different flavor to it but was good and filling. The Park around it was under construction, and it was dusty, but I bet it is beautiful this summer when it is completed. I will be back again. Keep on Cookin!“

“Me and my friend went here to catch up for drinks and dinner - Bodega is a great place for times like that. I've been coming to Bodega since college, I always enjoyed ambiance and service there which is always goooood. We ordered two appetizers to split - Brisket Queso & Crispy Chicken Wings (w/BBQ Sauce). Both were so good, the queso had brisket from their sister location at Bristol Republic, had great smoky flavor. The BBQ wings were really good, super solid! I would definitely return here whenever I get the chance. Their draft list is supreme, they have options for everyone! I've never had a bad experience here!“

“We had a nice time at Canabar last night. Our friends live in the neighborhood so we stopped in for a drink. The band was going strong and everyone had a good time. This is a neighborhood hangout but the bartender was friendly and invited us to come back.“

“Just had there Chicken Pesto Panini, it was really good. The servings are very generous and the waitress was very nice. I had not been in over 2 years, but prior had wished they allowed dogs in there outdoor area. Not sure if they allow it now, but would be nice. It's got wonderful atmosphere for what I think is a nice local place.“

“This is one of my new favorite brunch destinations. The menu is great, the food is delicious, and it’s just a cool, casual place to hang out.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian offerings, and they are willing to modify dishes to make them veg friendly (nachos, for example). They even have vegan “wings”.“

“It was a really nice place and our server was great! She was really friendly and attentive. It’s a little cramped inside, but I imagine during the spring/summer it is much better when the patio area is opened up. I got the wings, and they were pretty decent. My friend’s steak was excellent, but another friend’s pasta was just alright. So, can’t say it’s a top spot for me or anything, but good enough that I’d go back!“

“Kabyle-Algerian Restaurant in Columbus.Thank you so much for the owner and his team who were very courteous, professional, and very welcoming. The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty. I would definitely be back for the famous Algerian Sandwich!Thank you again for the free chorba frik &bourek during Ramadan! May god bless your business with more success!“

“As a wedding photographer, I'm always SO excited when I get to shoot at Strongwater! It is one of my favorite venues in Columbus. My brides and grooms have always had an amazing experience and the location couldn't be more convenient to all of Columbus. The staff is always outstanding and I can't recommend this venue enough. - Jessica Miller Photography“

“Bernard’s is a great bar to watch games shoot pool and play darts. The staff is great friendly and always give timely service and make great relationships with regulars. I am a regular there and bartends like Jonis and Kylie know my order and bring it to me when I walk into the door. It’s types of relationships with staff like the one I have with Jonis and Kylie that keeps me coming back to Bernard’s every week.“

“The food here is exceptional. People I go with love the wraps and grilled cheese. And get the Street Fries. But the wings are the star of the show for me. Big and crispy, and some really great and interesting sauces. Their mango habenero is really good, but the Scotch Bonnet BBQ is my new favorite. It tastes like a campfire with some spice, in a good way. Spicy and smoky, and delicious.“

“I got stuffed salmon with collard greens and macaroni and cheese. And I have to say that this food was very delicious. If you like any of my other reviews you know that my words have value, so check this place out it's a small restaurant inside of saraga on Hamilton road.“

“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.“
