“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.“

“Wonderful staff. Food was ready fast and delicious.“

“Explain, maybe i'm not sure.Burger is is amazing.You gotta put this in your mouth and the fishing chips.And my wife has is absolutely delicious.But the brussels sprout appetizer is spectacular also“

“We made the trek to Surve for lunch and it was well worth it. Nice ambiance, friendly and efficient service. The hallmark of a good meal is whether you would order the same meal again. My husband had the french dip. I had the signature salad with grilled salmon (cooked perfectly) and both of us would order our meals again. We also had the cheese curds, which were quite tasty. This is a hidden gem. Don’t know how we missed visiting sooner. I wish this restaurant was closer to home. I highly recommended it.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“

“Delicious food and amazing service by Ben!!!! Highly recommend.“

“We love this restaurant. The fried pickles are sooooo good.“

“Great meatballs!!!! Love the pizza.“

“I ordered a 16 oz aged ribeye medium well with parmesean mashed potatoes and everything was cooked perfectly and I might add that the mashed potatoes tasted amazing and the ribeye was juicy and flavorful. I would definitely come here for special occasions like anniversaries, something personal with your significant other or family.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I haven’t been to the J. Alexander’s in Worthington in a few years, and wow — they reminded me exactly why this place used to be one of my favorites.

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect. The meatballs were packed with flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and downright comforting. But the real surprise of the night?

🔥 THE STEAK ROLLS. 🔥
Easily the best appetizer on the menu — flaky, crispy, flavorful, and flat-out addictive. One bite and I knew I’d been gone from this location way too long.

The service was smooth, the atmosphere was classy but relaxed, and the food was elite from top to bottom.“

“We had a great time. Beautiful location, excellent coffee, seriously delicious food, friendly staff. We’re here from Wheeling,WV, but will DEFINITELY make the trip back!“

“Have been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it in today with my best friend, what a disappointment. Their posted hours show open till 2:30 pm, we arrived at 1:50 (plenty of time for some pancakes and coffee.) The weight staff was in full on cleanup mode and made it Very obvious they were done working for the day with the way we were greeted. I ordered decaf coffee and was told there was none left so decided to have regular and then didn't even get a full cup of that. At $4.99 a pop I need a full cup. I looked at my friend and said "they don't want to wait on us they are annoyed that they are already cleaning up and we came in" she agreed so when the server came back I politely said "we will just elsewhere we can tell you're cleaning up for the day" There was no "oh you are fine, you still have 40 minutes" or anything like that there just " are you sure?" We left and headed down the street to Delaney's Diner who would also be closing in about an hour at 3 PM but a TOTALLY different vibe. Greeted with a smile from the person at the hostess stand and 2 of the chefs even looked over and smiled and said welcome come on in! We looked at each other and said much better, we are definitely in the right place now. I've heard nothing but good things about the pancakes at the Pancake House I only wish I would have got to experience them But being treated well is more important to me than food. I understand wanting to be done work for the day believe me but it wasn't like we walked in with 3 minutes till closing. Oh well 🤷‍♀️“

“Amazing appearance of restaurant very clean and welcoming. The food was outstanding and my server Amira did an excellent job! All the staff did a great job always walking around with smiles on greeting guest as they walked in. I would also like to single out kayley for her great attitude and personality!“

“Yummy food, nice personal, sometimes gets a little loud in there but nothing crazy
-I like their burgers and salats, and their fries are super good as well. You will have to order at the register by the front door they will give you a little light up thing to take to the table and the waiters will bring your order to your table. For a sweet treat after lunch or dinner get their carrot cake or any of their cookies super rich and yummy !!! fair price for quality food ! Definitely would recommend this place !“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“Wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Our waitress, McKenzie, was delightful and most helpful in giving us input on selection choices. We enjoyed the patio and our whole first experience here. Definitely will return.“

“One of these times I'm going to get a photo of my favorite item to order here... I keep just eating it once it gets to the table because it's sooooo irresistible!! I love to get the grilled steak dip sandwich, dont forget to add the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Dipping this bad boy into the aus jus... IS MAGICAL!! 🤩 the steak is the perfect thickness with great texture, each bite getting that gooey cheese, then sautéed onions and mushroom chunks ... Soooo delightful!! Pair it with a side of waffle fries, and you might just be dreaming about this sandwich over and over after the first bite like me... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!! ^_^ so yummy...“

“We always love Firebirds! Tonight we had to wait for a bit for our party of 8 even though we had a RSVP. This isn’t normal, and the manager comped some items for us to make up for it. We really appreciated that gesture! The food was amazing as always, the seasonal hot chocolate cinnamon roll was so yummy. I almost always get the filet and it’s cooked perfectly with the right amount of seasonings to enhance the flavor of the steak every time. Ethan was our server tonight and he was kind and very attentive! He made sure to get the littles’ food out ASAP which was great. Great dinner and great service on a busy Saturday night!“

“Great tasting food. Small town vibe. Personable staff.“

“Really enjoyed our Saturday night dinner celebration for 9 of us celebrating my grandson’s UC graduation. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was outstanding! The short ribs special was very good and we all agreed that the bay scallops and shrimp risotto is an outstanding dish! The entire staff is very friendly and for a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed excellent service! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant in downtown. Go a little ahead of reservation…downtown parking is somewhat limited. Thanks for a terrific celebration, Whitney House!“

“great waitresses n waiters. Great food n always friendly service. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“First time dining here. Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for a night away that we don't get often. We were not disappointed. Nicholas was our server and he did a wonderful job. Very informative on menu and very kind. Food was delicious! Will be back for sure.“

“Wow. 10/10 recommend this restaurant. Our planned date night on the patio ended up being "to go" thanks to our little guy, but it was still absolutely delicious! We've been dying to eat at the Two One since following them on IG and drooling at their seasonal menu. So glad we finally did it. Great value for money, delicious meals, great menu- we will have to return to sit out on the patio overlooking the fountain and try one of their cocktails. Yum!“

“Hands Down, some of the BEST food I have had since I moved to Columbus, Fries are cut fresh, Wings are HUGE, Those fried ribs are making me drool just thinking about them...... I've worked with Steve now for the last couple of years, he's an honest businessman, he is family oriented, and he always puts the customer first. Keep up the amazing work brother!“
