New American Restaurants near Grandview Heights, OH

“We had several dishes but the short rib was tender and delicious. The burger which my son stared was the best he ever had echoed by the server was ok. I would definition come back for the short rib... the cookies were smaller than miniature but it's a nice touch.“

“While shooting a segment for the show Out n About Columbus, the owner Colin and the chef Marja took us through a gastronomic journey that left every one of the crew dumbstruck from the flavor and creativity in the dishes that were offered to us today! If you have the opportunity to dine at this incredible establishment, don't walk... RUN in the door! Don't ask for a menu! Let the staff take you on a culinary adventure! You definitely will not regret the decision, not one bit!“

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

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“Why we loved Gene's: Creative, delectable cuisine; an inventive array of wines and cocktails; friendly, expert sommelier and wait staff; cozy, northern California vibe; and well paced courses. Bottom line, we loved everything about Gene’s.

And one more thing - the owner personally followed-up on our experience. I can honestly say that has never happened to me before.

Gene's is unique in every way - front and back of house and most definitely at the table. You should absolutely add this soon to your collection of culinary experiences.“

“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!“

“🍷 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“

“First time there today! Our food was very good, nice outdoor area to eat outside, and our server, Rachel, was awesome! Will definitely come back!“

“Beautiful dining area! Having a great evening.“

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

“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 ⭐️“

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

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

“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 😜“

“Your new summer obsession is here. 😍 Compressed Watermelon. Honey-Lime Ricotta. Lemongrass. Ginger. Pistachio. Cooling. Creamy. Crunchy. Absolutely incredible. #PlasMelonNRicotta #FoodieFind #InstaFood #Yum #Delicious #EatLocal #TryIt #Refreshing #columbusFood“

“Another great experience at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. I'm picky, so I had the burger. It's hard to mess up a burger. But I also tried the wagyu steak and duck (first time ever for each, not just there) and they were really good.

The key lime pie was amazing.“

“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.“

“Great food and customer service! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to eat“

“Absolutely Delicious! The Best Shrimp Scampi Ever! I modified the dish to have it with linguini instead of the orzo...So Good!!! Our server, Kennedy...and friends, were a delight to be with! I even celebrated my Birthday with them! Thanks again 101 Craft Kitchen! Do Visit and Eat!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“We literally stumbled upon this place. Wanted to eat a good vegetarian burger. Saw the ratings and took a chance. We found a place we will be frequenting for sure.
Great energy walking in. Warm welcome and amazing inviting vibe from each person we interacted with. Loved the concept. A multi dimensional menu is well crafted. Drinks were out of this world. Food was really delicious. Care, attention to detail was of the highest level. Did I say food was delicious?
All three of us wonders if we have lived under a rock to not have known about this place.
House made pimento cheese dip and guacamole were out of this world.
Just GO! You won’t be disappointed. Only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have a full five star rating!“

“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!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“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!!!“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we tried was presented so nice!! Loaded with flavor & fresh ingredients !!! Would definitely recommend!!! Total 10!!!❤️“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“We were visiting from out of town and decided to try this place since it had fantastic reviews. It absolutely lived up to it's expectations if not exceeded them!!

The server, Corey, was outstanding. Attentative, knowledgeable, and kind. The food (French Dip and Pan Fried Fish) was stellar. Everything was hot, fresh, and well flavored.

Highly recommend!“

“Rita is the best! We had our wedding there last year and we highly recommend it for both large parties and just everyday happy hour and meals.“
