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!“

“I really wanted to love Gene's, as I have heard wonderful things, but we were very underwhelmed with the food.
The Crudo small plate was mediocre at best and very fishy (although it was beautifully plated!). The Asparagus was delicious, but not $27 delicious. The Ricotta cavatelli was ok. The Pork was yummy. The Quesillo (Venezuelan flan) was just... meh.
The service from all staff and the atmosphere were absolutely A+. (Ellie (sp) was amazing!)
I will go back to give it another shot, but for the price it's a tough sell...“

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

“🍷 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“

“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!“

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

“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 ⭐️“

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

“Nice American style fine dining. Dishes generally lean towards the sweeter end of the pallet. Meal comes with a starter of good bread, sweet cream butter and garlic. Friendly wait staff are knowledgeable about the dishes and check in an appropriate amount without being overbearing. They treat special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries to a little extra. We got a rose and dessert.“

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

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“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!“

“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“

“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 😜“

“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!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

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

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

“I’m visiting for Atlanta and just walked in here. The food was so good! The sushi was so fresh and flavorful! Also had the burger and triple dip. It was nice to have different cuisines in one meal. Mayli was our server and she was so sweet and had great recommendations! She gave us a full menu walk through and her communication was top tier. Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My friends, believe me when I say that the Chicken and Avocado Sandwich at this Cafe was one of the best I've ever had. I CRUSHED that sandwich like it was my last meal on the face of this earth. My husband had the cheeseburger and fries. He (rudely) didn't let me have a bite of the burger, but he said the flavor was fantastic. I did steal his fries, though, and they were crispy and delicious. We both got gluten free buns, with low expectations, but the buns were great, too! 10 out of 10, no notes. I'm already lobbying hard to come back tomorrow for lunch.“

“Not really a drinker so I tend to avoid cocktail lounges, but this one is an exception. Their NA drinks are delicious and the enviroment is very good for long conversation. If you're looking for a quieter place to grab a drink with a date, I'd definitely recommend here.“

“This place never disappoints. We sampled a few cocktails, and every one of them was smooth, refreshing, and well made. The service really stood out—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and happy to help with anything we needed. The space has a clean, stylish look that feels both modern and relaxing. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy good drinks, great hospitality, and a comfortable atmosphere all in one visit.“

“One of the best dining experiences we have had in some time. We ordered the NY strip and a slice of their homemade pie. Every single thing we ate was delicious. Service was amazingly friendly. Best option in the area, by far. The steak here was a million times better than the steak down the street at FYR and was probably 30-40% less expensive.“

“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!“

“As an Army Combat Veteran who recently moved downtown from California, I was looking forward to celebrating Independence Day here. While the red snapper was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked, the initial service was incredibly disappointing. I flagged down a blonde bartender to order a beer, but she never returned to take my food order. Despite the bar being empty, she passed by multiple times, seemingly more focused on asking coworkers how her hair looked than serving me sitting at the bar. She also ignored me while being overly attentive to regulars who arrived later. Thankfully, the head bartender noticed I was waiting and saved the night. I ended up ordering my dinner, dessert and remaining drinks from the other bartenders. I waited for her shift to end before closing out my $80 ticket. I then left the remaining bartenders $30.
It is a shame that great food is overshadowed by a lack of basic attentiveness to new guests.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I’m a photographer and this the third time to be there a wedding and the experience have been exceptionally great. Kudos to the staff member.
And just incase you need a photographer to cover your wedding or event feel free to reach out. My IG: @king_pixxy“

“The Kitchen was amazing! We had our elopement celebration here this past Saturday and everyone was so professional and accommodating. The space is absolutely beautiful and the food was spectacular (my guests couldn’t stop raving about their mac and cheese bar and their ice cream).Chef Dusty is a genius! I’m so glad we were able to have the reception of our dreams here!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ashley was a wonderful server, extremely accommodating! Her suggestions helped me pair the right drink with my mood and my meal! The food was phenomenal. We shared deviled eggs and steak egg rolls. The eggs were top -tier, and the egg rolls basically melted in our mouths. We ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and our friend had the grilled salmon with orzo. We need boxes. We took home dessert. Coming here was the best decision we made last weekend.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“I stopped in while back in town for Christmas. I had a great smash burger, fries, and cheese curds. All were great. The sauces were all homemade and great as well. Everyone was friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend Ash & Em in Hilliard.“

“Belly up to the bar if it's just two of you or grab a table for a group. The Press has an awesome craft beer list with lots of local options and good pub grub. The burgers, wedge salad and steak fries are my go to, but that's always dependent on what's the daily special. Sunday steak night is also a good value.“

“We had a lovely dinner with friends here. The place was lively & busy on a Friday evening. The service was Excellent!! They have a nice wine list with selections for many tastes, by the glass or bottle. We had the Cheese Stuffed Butter Rolls as an appetizer for the table which were only ok for me, everyone else liked them. We all really loved our House Specialties entrees. My Seared Scallops came with five perfectly cooked. The Pan Fried Fish, St Louis BBQ Ribs and Ribeye we're all so delicious. The Texas sheet cake for dessert was shared and very good also the espresso Martini to finish the meal was perfect. Family friendly and was a bit too loud at time although I loved the vibs and would love to visit again. We spent over $440w/tip for four people, apps, bottle of wine, drinks, entrees, and desserts.“

“Wow. First time visiting. I wish I would have come sooner. Beautiful decor, lively atmosphere, excellent server, and one of the best meals I have had in Columbus. There were 5 in our party. It was a Sunday, so all day happy hour. Appetizers were 1/2 off. We shared several types of sushi and taquitos to start. Sushi was very fresh. For mains, we got burgers, tacos, and fish sandwich. All very yummy and well-prepared. We shared insanely delicious desserts- chocolate cake - which had more of a brownie consistency but not complaining - and olive oil cake with the best flavored whipped I ever had - creamsicle. Tasted exactly like a creamsicle ice cream bar. Everything was just delicious. Our server was terrific. The only small issue was the servers were stretched a bit thin so it was a while between her visits to the table. But she was very pleasant, friendly and professional. With 1/2 off appetizers and draft beer, it was an excellent value.“

“Excellent from start to finish“

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

“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!! 🫶“
