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!“

“My wife and I truly enjoyed the experience. This small but intimate place in the heart of historic Dublin is such a gem. The service was 5 star, our server made some great recommendations. The cocktails were well constructed and both the food and the plating were excellent. The sister location was also amazing. The wine and cocktail selection and the knowledge of the staff made for a truly amazing evening.“

“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“

“Beautiful dining area! Having a great evening.“

“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!“

“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 😜“

“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.“

“Big bold flavors, friendly, casual service… this was an amazing experience!“

“Exceptional dinner experience! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and everyone was so great. They gave us a rose for the table and complimentary dessert. Our server was attentive and helpful. The food, as usual, was amazing! We had the walleye and scallops paired with salads and creme brule.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“This was my first time going to Townhall. I’ve been wanting to go there for quite some time because I have a lot of food allergies it was beyond my expectations! The food was outstanding the service impeccable and I’m so excited to bring my Special Needs son who also has allergies back down. Lilly was our server and she answered my many questions and was extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. we’re very much looking forward to coming back.“

“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.“

“A really great experience and a perfect way to close out a busy day. After spending all day visiting OSU, this was a great place to grab a quick meal and a cocktail before heading home. The staff was friendly and the prices were on point. Complimentary drinks and good food rounded out the meal. Try the margarita pizza and nachos with both dips! Will definitely be coming back.“

“Overall, a very pleasant experience. Our sever was friendly and attentive. Nice vibe, relatively quiet even with large groups and children seated near. Food was all good. We had the June special drinks and dessert. I recommend both. We loved the tempura mushrooms and grilled peppers. The restaurant is pricey with relatively small portions, but the quality is there. I would definitely go again should I find myself back in the area.“

“Got the opportunity to play with a member. Course is nice and well maintained. Has some challenging holes. Greens roll true. Not too many blind shots. Pro shop has a nice selection. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food was somewhat disappointing.“

“A hidden gem in Columbus for the more relaxed and refined folk looking to have a chill night out. The Denmark offers a great European atmosphere, located on the 2nd floor of a building just across from the convention center. The large windows, low lighting, and casual seating arrangements all set the mood for great conversation amongst peers and intellectual discussions about the various oddities of life.

There aren’t many food options but this place is great with its cocktails. I think there’s always something for everyone, their menu regularly rotates through new unique drinks but has a good repertoire of their classics; The Elderflower Paloma and Mango Daiquiri are particularly exquisite. To my knowledge it’s only run by three guys, which means service will be a little lacking at times, but they’re all great bartenders and have a sweet personality behind their gruff exteriors. They’re just a trio, cut them some slack.

Theres chess sets, self serve water and various card and board games you can pull out from their selections which is complemented by the modern decor to make this place a routine stop for me when I’m out and about downtown. The only negative thing I have to say is that this place is usually very sparse and not as full as I would like it to be, highly recommend more people check it out and make it a regular stop for their nights out as well.“

“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!“

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

“Yana is by far the best server at Parlay. She helped us get a game on TV that we wanted to watch and even moved our table to the boardroom so we could watch with audio. She checked in frequently and kept our glasses full. 10 out of 10. Would come again and ask for her.“

“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.“

“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 space! I was here for a company holiday party. Fresh ingredients, pasta, and a good selection of spirits and drinks. Fun idea with the cooking competition (sauce boss). Didn’t hurt that my team won as well! Great service and knowledgeable staff to guide even the most inexperienced of cooks. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The patio dining is picturesque, check my photos. This place beats everyone in the entire area; Service, food quality, the daily fish specials, and drinks are marvelous. The smoked salmon dip is bomb, and you’ve never had a deviled egg as good as theirs- no joke. Unbelievable.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is one of my very favorite restaurants. Everything my husband and I ordered last night was absolutely delicious: salmon with couscous salad side, BBQ ribs with fries and slaw, an extra side of tomato/feta salad, and carrot cake for dessert. I never thought I could eat ribs without getting messy so it was a bonus to be able to eat them without ever picking them up! They were thick and saucy without being sloppy. The sauce (house made, I was told) was sticky and coated nicely and there was a lot of meat on each bone. They were so tender that I could simply run my fork over them to eat. The slaw was different than I've ever had - not sweet but a lot of flavor without being too savory. I never go to Hudson 29 without ordering the tomato/feta side - this time is was our appetizer. We've dined here numerous times and I've never received anything I didn't like. If you like french dip sandwiches, theirs is scrumptious. It was a difficult to order something new this trip but I'm so glad I did. I think I found my new favorite meal - the BBQ ribs. We were celebrating our anniversary and our carrot cake was served with a chocolate Happy Anniversary sign on top. The wait staff was very pleasant and attentive as well. If I had any TINY wish, it would be that the restaurant wasn't quite so noisy. It can be difficult to have a conversation and hear over the noise. Eat at Hudson 29 - you won't regret it!“

“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.“

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

“Best gluten free crust ever. By a ton. Yum!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“I know Flipside in Hudson so we figured to we would see if this location was just as good. The staff was wonderful and the menu was just as good. These burgers are the best. So many beers available & we stayed too long trying many of them. Definitely worth checking out.“

“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!! 🫶“

“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!“

“food and service were absolutely on par!“
