New American Restaurants near Upper Arlington, OH

“Despite both members of my party clearly giving the name the reservation was made and alerted hostesses that we were expecting each other we were seated at different tables in different rooms Table servers were great but disappointing overall and no one offered us an explanation or apology after we finally figured out what had been done 20 minutes into our reservation.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The food is always amazing! The atmosphere is energetic and we sat outside which was awesome! We have had Josh as a server the last few times we have been here and we HIGHLY recommend him! He is accommodating and attentive! He definitely enhances our experience!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“A mesmerizing dinner with bold flavors at Agni made an evening in Columbus. OH as memorable as can be. From the dimly lit tribal rustic space, the dining space matches well with the colorful spices used in their dishes. Agni does not shy away from their use of strong piercing curry flavors in their international features, representing Thailand, China, Vietnam, Turkey and Mexico. My favorite items off their tasting menu were their caesar chaat-froid salad and creme brulee. I would easily eat the salad every day! The pistachios flavored creme brulee filled with pistachios, cardamon and kataifi as homage to the taste of Turkiye. Bravo for a brilliant team in Columbus. My only suggestion is the flavors can be too bold and salty, that an extra dinner roll or side of rice would be wonderful to help accompany the curries and sauces. that Can't wait to try what they'd come up with all the buzz behind their kitchen doors.“

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

“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.“

“A very clean place, with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. I continue to frequent this place for all the reasons mentioned above and the variety of the menu. I recommend you visit.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“One of my favorite places when visiting Columbus. Tuna Crudo appetizer was delicious and a little spicy. Enjoyed the citrus salad, and the Atlantic char was perfectly cooked and the cauliflower both roasted and pureed was a good accompaniment. Ill be back!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“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!“

“I enjoyed a lovely afternoon brunch with my father this afternoon. We agreed that our experience was so enjoyable because of our amazing server Grace. I am constantly dreaming about the deviled eggs and the chocolate cake, you don’t want to miss out! Grace was very detailed oriented and very cautious about my severe tree nut allergy which made feel at ease. I already can’t wait to go back and Grace will be my preferred server no question!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Syd was our server last night and she was fantastic! So kind and attentive. All the food we had was delicious and cooked to perfection. Syd helped pull off a wonderful surprise and we needed with the poppy cake-ORDER THAT!!! Great experience and would go again.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!! 🫶“

“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.“

“It's been a while since we've been to The Rossi and we are so glad we dined there yesterday. First, they have one heck of a Happy Hour both for their food and beverage offerings were fantastic, I mean how often do you see French 75s and Palomas on a Happy Hour menu. Second, their staff, front of the house, bartenders and servers all have the impeccable timing as far as knowing when to check-in which made the whole experience relaxing & leaving us truly happy! Finally, the restaurant itself has character in a good way... the rays of sunlight dancing thru the windows and the sparkle off of the lighting fixtures leaves patrons with the impression the owners of this bar care about the ambience! We'll be back for sure!“

“So delicious. The food was fresh, hot, and welly seasoned. Prices were great too for what you got (large portions). I loved it so much and my friend did too. We will go here every time we are visiting columbus!“

“Huge Thanks to Bernard’s Tavern & the Amazing Breanna!

We had such a great time, and it was the perfect spot to celebrate such a special moment . A special and heartfelt shoutout goes to our incredible bartender, Breanna.

She went above and beyond for our group, even handing out waters without us asking and making sure we had everything we needed all night long.Not only is she stunning, but her personality shines even brighter. Breanna made everyone feel welcome and cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of us. Everyone in our party loved her!From Chicago to Ohio, we thank you so much, Breanna. If we’re ever back in town, you can count on us stopping by to see you again, girlie!“
