New American Restaurants near Upper Arlington, OH

“Had a great dinner here last night. Salmon, pasta, walleye and a sandwich. All fantastic. We were seated in the "wine room" which eliminated much of the noise Hudson 29 is unfortunately known for. Our server Grace was incredible. Excellent personality and very efficient. 29, you better hold on to her as she could work at any restaurant in the city and do well.“

“One of the best happy hours around! Also, sign up and get a free birthday dinner. Can’t wait until it’s warm enough for the outdoor patio.“

“Imagine my surprise and delight when I looked for a restaurant, near my hotel in Columbus, Ohio this evening, and found SOW! SŌW Plated was founded by people who wanted to demonstrate that brain healthy and mood supportive food could also be delicious. We had a wonderful conversation with one of the owners who is interested in what I am doing with both the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition and Eating Protein Saves Lives. We then had an amazing dinner 🙂. Hopefully, we will find a way to collaborate.“

“It’s been a very long time since I received great service, so this is worth sharing We set out for a causal anniversary dinner and ended up at Tupelo Honey. They seated us without a reservation and our server was the sweetest person I’ve ever encountered. At the end of our meal she brought us each a free dessert for our anniversary. This is typical for most places, but the dessert came with a card signed by the entire staff 🥰🥰🥰 They also sent us home with Tupelo Honey pint glasses. Such a sweet gesture and keepsakes. Keep them in mind for your special occasions Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar“

“Moved here over 5 years ago from DC (a foodie city) and in that time I’ve had a hand full of meals that I would consider truly great. This would be one of them! Service matched the food in a cozy atmosphere. Even the home made soda was awesome. Hands down the best food, service and experience I’ve had in the years I’ve lived in CBUS. Do yourself a favor, try it.“

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

“We came here on our first date. It wasn't my first time but the guy I was with was his first time!! We absolutely loved it. Christina was our server and she rocked it. Iris was able to hold our table because we were running a few minutes late in traffic.“

“I recently ordered breakfast from Four Seasons Kitchen. I had the Sausage Egg & Cheese Burrito and home fries. The home fries were very good. The burrito was fine, but could have used more flavor. It was mostly egg and potato, with too little sausage to really be noticeable. I wish I had had some hot sauce with me to at least give it some kick. Still, I'd eat there again.“

“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 friends and I came here for my birthday for brunch and it was nothing but a positive experience. I am new to the area so I am still trying to find where to go for good food and drinks. Our server David was very good and always made sure we were happy. I will be returning-- thank you for an awesome birthday brunch! :)“

“Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had dining in Columbus , German Village area, in the last two years.

Not only do the dishes have multiple flavors in each bite which every well chef inspired food place does, but the flavors fit the dish, and it's not what's expected when looking at it when it's sit down in front of you. Excellent Quality, flavors and presentation 5 stars.
However, the pleasantry & knowledge even the way the staff explains the dishes and makes you feel special is what separates this place from others. I sat at the bar and spoke to Alli (super friendly & informative) after about 5 minutes I realized I was going to let her pick my dishes; she knew every dish and ultimately made my AGNI experience one of the best I've had in central Ohio.
HIGHLY recommend , flavors of the sauces (no words can describe) nailed them
Service above and beyond!“

“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.“

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

“Our first dining experience at this restaurant and we will return. Khi our server made certain we were comfortable, explained the menu and specials. Was friendly and polite. Perfect. Camerons Old Fashion and Smokey Margaritas were delightful. The short ribs were tender, deep in flavor, enjoyed the horseradish puree (more horseradish would make it perfect). The duck breast had well seared skin, was perfectly tender, and a enjoyable depth of flavor. The sauce gravy was excellent. I highly recommend the lamb meatballs as an appetizer. Soak up the remaining sauce with the bread. Excellent. The pineapple upside down cake was a pleasant dessert surprise and delicious.“

“Best meal I have ever truly experienced in my 27 years of life. I have no other words I’m speechless at this meal and experience. Wowzie wow wow wow“

“I felt myself back home when I tasted the food. I recommend it for nostalgic people. you'll really feel yourself at home. good luck and keep going.“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

“my name is Tony Bussa and I thought the atmosphere was amazing. staff extremely help full. the food was more than good it was exceptional. this place is 5 star.“

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

“Had a great experience at Parlay! The entire staff was friendly and attentive, but Angie and Meghan truly stood out; they were amazing. Professional, personable, and made the whole visit even better. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“The weekend brunch is highly underrated, but not to be missed! We were greeted with a warm fire and lovely ambiance of live music on a crisp fall morning. Third and Hollywood has a very cozy, dimly lit vibe that is great for celebrating a special occasion, date nights, happy hour and as we recently found out the best brunch in the 614!

Having long been on a quest to find the best cinnamon roll in Columbus, we have finally found it! As a vegetarian my go-to dish is the vegetarian mixed grill. A common mistake restaurants make with vegetarian/vegan dishes is not making it filling/hearty enough but I always come home with leftovers here! The artichoke hearts are another staple dish here that can not be missed.“

“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.“

“This evening my husband and I met my cousins at The Tavern for dinner. Once again another outstanding meal and outstanding server. I so wish I could remember her name but she was so wonderful and very attentive to say the least. The general manager, Rachel as well is an absolutely amazing person. You can tell she genuinely cares for her customers and staff. We highly recommend you visit The Avenue in Grandview!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

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

“The food and the service. Both are great.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“We had a fantastic evening at the Guild House. My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there. The Guild House staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate our special occasion. From the personalized note to the complimentary celebratory drink, we couldn't have asked for a better evening!“

“A great spot for families.“

“Late:post:taco Tuesday 🤪😝 If you’re looking for a great dining experience, Agave & Rye Taco restaurant is the place to go. I had the pleasure of trying their peach and fruit passion margaritas, the Alderman taco, and the Grilled Crispy Chicken Burrito. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! Agave & Rye If you are trying to big your back this summer,🗣️do not come to this place❗️your back will get 3x times bigger as you are sitting at the table!😂 In the words of Madea: I was tore the hell up from the floor up. #solodate #goodvibes The LA.

“Rossi Kitchen is a great place to dine on the Short North. Our party of three sat at a high-top and received excellent service. We shared calamari with an excellent pesto aioli. Caesar salads were crispy and briny. Our entrees included the ragu, lamb lollipops and salmon over a mixed green salad. All were nicely prepared and tasty. A good time was had by all.“

“Amazing Wedding Experience!
I was part of a wedding party held at Pinnacle Goft Club. Jamie was the on-sight wedding coordinator- very professional, organized, and kind. The whole staff was extremely responsive and attentive throughout the day.

The venue speaks for itself- beautiful!“

“The restaurant was pretty empty, only a few tables were seated when we arrived. Lots of open space. They sat us on top of 2 other tables. My back was touching my neighbor and I could hear their entire conversation. I would have preferred to sit further away since there were so many open spots including more private booths. A little disappointing. Food was good as usual. Service was a little slow. Had to flag down the waiter to take our order after we ordered apps. Donuts took forever.“

“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!! 🫶“

“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.“

“If I could leave more stars I would. My child was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and we haven’t had the easiest time finding restaurants that have reasonable accommodations. The staff was so patient and kind while I asked our list of questions to ensure they eat safely. Our server even went to the back to receive confirmation from the back of the house on all ingredients. Thankful to have found a Crohn’s friendly restaurant!“

“I love The Kitchen!!! It is a beautiful space with amazing staff!! My boyfriend and I have attended multiple participatory dinner events with each one being better than the last. The details of each event are so thought thru it make's it easy to relax and enjoy. Not to mention the delicious food and wine.“

“Every time we come into town for a hockey game we come here for breakfast the next morning. Love it. Food is always good, service great (Shanna) happy customers.“

“We ordered the chicken and waffles, a Baileys Irish coffee, and a side of bacon. The waffle was amazing the only thing was it may have been maybe sitting under a light for a while becuase there was a portion of it that was crispy like chips, I didn't care for that at all. The coffee was lukewarm, and my bacon was overcooked. But the reason i gave them 5 stars is because the service was SUPERB! We were visiting and didn't know of any places to go so we asked the waitress and they took their time and gave us a list of a couple places we could visit in the city and to me that in itself was awesome. Also the waitress removed the overcooked bacon and the lukewarm coffee from my tab, when she noticed that I didn't eat it, without me even having to ask, although I wouldn't have, I would've just paid for it. This place was clean and it was absolutely, for us, worth it.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

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

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

“I am never disappointed by Service Bar. Last night was part of restaurant week and the selections were great. The food really impressed me as usual. The chef was spot on! The drinks too were tastey! Our service was fantastic. Our server was attentive but also, others who delivered the food, checked in on us, etc. were so receptive and pleasant. I will surely go back again!“

“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!!!“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“The green goddess cocktails are to die for — i dream about them. i also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup platter which was delicious. my server Macy was amazing— seriously one of the best waitresses i’ve had in a long time and always was at our table ready, and brought us things before we even knew to ask for them. She was so great!“

“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.“
