New American Restaurants near Grandview Heights, OH

“What an ABSOLUTE GEM!!! The restaurant gives off a charming yet cozy feel, with moody dim lighting and a big crackling fireplace in the center of the dining room that makes you feel at home🤎 we also had the most incredible and accommodating server, shoutout to Jay who hand wrote his favorite Columbus foodie recommendations out for us since we’re new to the area!!! NOW ONTO DINNER: the iron skillet cheddar biscuits are an absolute must!! Served warm and brushed with salted better, they’re just delicious👌🏽followed by the grilled artichokes served with an excellent creamy remoulade!! We also ordered the Hollywood Salad and the Barbequte pork ribs- the meat was fall of the bone tender and the coleslaw + fries complemented the dish perfectly!!

“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 😜“

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

“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!“

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

“Excellent as always. Our server was fenominal. Food was perfect. I even spoke with the manager to express our absolute pleasure with him. He heard my wife was a cancer survivor, and at the end of the meal, he brought her out a rose. Made my wife very happy and she cried on the way home. We will certainly return in the near future. We went all out for this meal, and it was worth every dollar. Excellent job Cameron Team!“

“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.“

“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!“

“If we’re just basing the establishment on the quality of their food and not former owners. You can’t miss with Town Hall kids menu is great, clean ingredients and everything is always delicious. Had the egg sando for brunch it was delicious.“

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

“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.“

“Perfect evening. Food was amazing and the wait staff went above and beyond. Recommend and early-ish reservation on a Friday Saturday evening as the Short North becomes busy, loud. Perfect restaurant for an early dinner before evening activities. Thank you Guild House.“

“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.“

“I've been to this location to enjoy dinner on multiple occasions. 85% of the time, the entire experience is fantastic, but my most recent experience left me wanting. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues tied to getting our bill correct, and then, adding insult to injury, I ended up going home with a considerable stomachache. Fortunately, it didn't end up being any worse than that, but let's just say I had some concerns on that drive. 😬 but besides that, the food was very tasty, came out quickly, and I believe was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who comprised the party - being made up of eight people. That is another point: this location can accommodate larger groups as well as smaller groups. Also, I strongly recommend the chocolate chip cookie 🍪 , which I know couldn't have been the culprit of my stomachache, because I saved it to enjoy at a later time. In fact, the chocolate chip cookie is one of the primary reasons why I'm excited to go to Northstar whenever it comes up as a dining option! The homemade ginger ale and kombucha are favorites of mine, as well as the North Star Burger - and that is coming coming from somebody who is a meat-eater most of the time! Enjoy!“

“First and foremost, I’d like to thank Simon the bartender for making my first time at The Pearl an experience. Words can’t describe how great of a host he was. Simon recommended nothin but best drinks and food. He didn’t miss. First was N’Awlins Oysters were phenomenal and the Hanger Steak was out of this world! The pearl is a classic vibe with an upbeat aesthetic. If you’re thinking about going here, don’t second-guess it just go!!

Also, I’d like to thank Nick the manger for running such a fine establishment and taking his time out to talk to me about my experience.“

“This place is incredible! The staff went above and beyond for my fiancé and I as we celebrated our engagement. This is actually where he first asked me to be his girlfriend, and he later planned our post-proposal dinner here as well. Both times, the staff truly went out of their way to make us feel special and help us celebrate. On top of that, food is amazing, service is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“A group of friends and I had an amazing time at Denmark's Cocktail 101 class! Garry made the craft of cocktail-making fun and approachable, and had great recommendations and tips and tricks -- even for those in the group who like to think of themselves as cocktail aficionados!

Denmark is one of the best cocktail bars in Columbus, and experiencing a class here is a memorable experience! Highly recommend booking a class.“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“As always, the food and service here were top-notch! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. You can really tell this place is run by a solid management team—they keep things smooth, friendly, and welcoming. It’s one of those spots where you know you’ll leave happy every single time. Honestly, it’s become a go-to for me because everything just works—great food, great service, and a great vibe all around.“

“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.“

“Especially good for a business lunch. Food is great, and not too loud. Service is also excellent with plenty of good food options. Large bar inside the restaurant with bar and booth seating. One of my go-to places for lunch, especially if I am trying to impress someone.“

“Drove by while out and about looked cool so checked the menu online and decided to stop in. Great decision the staff was friendly and the food was excellent! Decided to try their Sunday 10oz new york strip for 16.99 and it was one of the best cooked steaks I've had in a long time. I had their fries which they make in house so good! All in all 5 stars 🌟“

“We were a party of 7. I booked online to make it easy and they could expect us. As expected when we arrived we were immediacy seated ( Saturday 4:30 reservation) Service was great. Food was great. We alerted server of a food allergy her and the rest of the kitchen team went out of their way to clean out the fryer and put in fresh oil so that my niece could have french fries. This was super thoughtful. When we went, it was not super busy, but it did pick up quickly and get loud in the restaurant - though it is a sports bar, - it DOES carry restaurant quality, and I would most definitely recommend. Our servers name was Aryanna- she was top notch!!!“

“Went for my first time for valentines day and the atmospere was dope. Food was good and service was onpoint. My wife got the special of the night drink and I got the burbon which was good. Will be going again for a date night. I got the barbecoa tacos for my dinner which was good. For an appetizer we got the guac and the stir fry shrimp which was delicious.“

“Excellent from start to finish“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“
