New American Restaurants near Upper Arlington, OH

“Perfect weekend late brunch! Sliced tenderloin grilled to perfection with sides of delicious tomatoes and feta and charred corn avocado salad. Smoked salmon omelette could have used less cream cheese and maybe something else green or textural. Beautifully presented. Caretha was knowledgeable and also delightful! We will come back !“

“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“

“The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was so cozy, comfy, and just really nice. The atmosphere alone would make me want to try this place again. They vary the menu a lot I see with lots of fun offerings, but I think it would be nice to keep a couple more staple items on the menu. I would have really liked some sort of salad with my meal or maybe a French onion soup and they did not have any soups or salads. Espresso martinis were really great! I got a pasta dish. Loved all the components of it, but do feel the sauce felt unfinished. The sourdough toast app was great. My wife got the pork with collards and grits. Would have been great if the pork was cooked more. The grits and greens were great, but texture of the pork made us cringe. I know not fully cooked pork is more common these days, but typically we’re asked how we want it cooked and it was an after thought to mention we wanted it fully cooked. We now know for next time! Free dessert was provided for our anniversary and that was really nice!“

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

“The food is great! Micheal was fantastic. Add all those ridiculous service charges in to the price of the food. We tip the waiter, so you can either hide the fees or eat it. We enjoyed the brunch, it was a lovely experience. Just hide the extra fees!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is an excellent restaurant! Food is usually cooked perfectly, just this time my steak was cooked a little more than I had asked, but was still good. We had to wait a little longer for food to be served this time, but they were packed. Wait staff here are the best! We've been going here for years and definitely highly recommend them. Bartender is good too!“

“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“

“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.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“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 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.“

“Northstar Cafe in Columbus was a great find. The cookie alone was worth the stop. Fresh, soft, and full of flavour. The sandwiches and shakes were just as impressive and everything tasted like it was made with real quality ingredients.

This is an order at the counter and serve yourself style cafe, so there is no table service, but the setup works well for the vibe of the place. The food comes out quickly, the space is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Overall, Northstar Cafe delivered a delicious and enjoyable experience. Great food, great desserts, and a casual style that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your meal. Five stars.“

“We had a wonderful experience. Jailo was amazing. My husband ordered oysters and they were so good he ordered more. I had the citrus salad and the blend of citrus, salted pecans and fresh lettuces was unlike other salads you can get anywhere. Shrimp and grits, also unlike other places with added kick of sausage. We left wanting to return the next night. Great food and Jailo's exemplary service with kindness make this a place we will visit each time we are in town.“

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

“From the time we walked in to when we walked out, it was an excellent first experience! Our server Aubrey was friendly and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations based on a few questions she asked to learn about our preferences. I had a filet and lobster tail - exquisite! My mom had the veal - delicious! The drinks from bar were unmatched. I'm already planning my next trip. Thank you!“

“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!!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I haven’t been to the J. Alexander’s in Worthington in a few years, and wow — they reminded me exactly why this place used to be one of my favorites.

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect. The meatballs were packed with flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and downright comforting. But the real surprise of the night?

🔥 THE STEAK ROLLS. 🔥
Easily the best appetizer on the menu — flaky, crispy, flavorful, and flat-out addictive. One bite and I knew I’d been gone from this location way too long.

The service was smooth, the atmosphere was classy but relaxed, and the food was elite from top to bottom.“

“The best boil I’ve had so far! The garlic/cajun Kai Medium spice is chef’s kiss. Great quality and wonderful service 10/10 for me!“

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

“Everything was excellent! Our server was attentive and checked on us multiple times. I had the press burger, onion rings, and a cup of potato soup. The burger and onion rings were amazing! The soup was thinner than I expected, but the flavor was very good. I very much look forward to going again to try other menu options!“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

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

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

“We had friends in town that were staying downtown. They wanted to grab a quick breakfast early (9 am) on a Sunday before hitting the road. The restaurant was not very busy at 9 am, but was getting fairly full by 10 am. \n\nThe Guild House was an excellent spot to meet in the Short North area close to downtown. The Short North is a busy and trendy area near the convention center. However, on this Sunday there was easy (free) street parking (you still had to use the Park Mobile App) nearby. You could also use the valet or a nearby parking garage. \n\nThe service (Baba) was excellent, Friendly and prompt! The food was a little pricey but very good. I had the Eggs Benedict ($17) and coffee ($5). In fact, almost everyone in our group had the same order. \n\nWe definitely noted this place as a great place to meet up with friends in the middle of Columbus. Most folks dressed pretty casual for breakfast.“

“I had an incredible experience thanks in no small part to the wonderful bartender, Satia. Absolutely no notes! When she heard that I wasn’t able to drink, she took it upon herself to whip up a personal mocktail for me. Great appetizer recommendations. We had the crispy rice and Brussels sprouts. Definitely would recommend and ask for Satia at the bar!“

“Absolutely lovely staff - especially Yana and Sarah - went above and beyond to make our reading group’s movie night special. Food was wonderful, with the flatbreads a particular crowd favorite but also positive reviews of the pretzel, wings, and nachos. We will be back both as a group and individually to try more of the wonderful-sounding drinks and food!“

“We had our 6 year olds birthday party at Ten Pin today. From setting up the event all the way to leaving, the entire experience was easy and great. The event manager and server were both so accommodating and friendly. Even our party guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.“

“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.“
