33 Best Wine Bars near Upper Arlington

“We had a great experience at the Wine Bistro. There were four in our group and they put us at a round table a bit out of the way of the other tables, which really helped with the noise level. Our server was so pleasant and helpful. Our group shared crab cakes, the antipasto platter, a delicious meatball, and each enjoyed a winery salad. All the food was delicious, well prepared, and came in a timely manner. We've eaten here several times and are always impressed. It's one of our favorite Columbus restaurants to go with friends or for a date night.“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Super cute.  Amazing customer service.
Special shoutout to Jeff, Syn? And Marco who took care of us in some capacity.

Drinks-  collins angel hot latte 5/5 and a matcha latte (Collins angel version) 4/5

Food- egg sandwich w/ bacon- soft bread,  thick bacon,  moist. 5/5 and vermonter- turkey apple and cheese pastry. 4/5 flaky,  good filling.  Not the biggest fan of the sesame seeds.

Overall clean,  cute,  great music/ vibes. A bit pricey, paid $23 for a pastry and drink. But I look forward to returning and exploring the wine/ bar and live music & after work ambiance.“

“Great wine shop! Patio for warmer weather and free parking!! Wine tastings on Thursday’s. Nice and friendly staff. Super knowledgeable.“

“Wednesday wine tasting - nice!“

“Chicken and Waffles were 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.“

“We would like to thank the restaurant for giving us happy memories during our short trip to Ohio with top-notch taste and service. I think the steaks here are really good, especially the filet mignon and Seared Tenderloin. For appetizers, I had Pan-fried Calamari and Tuna Tartare, which were also very satisfying. Although the service is slow when there are a lot of people, they are very friendly, and everything including table spacing, interior design, and lighting was comfortable. Although the prices are not very friendly, this is a steakhouse I would definitely come back to when I visit Ohio.“

“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“

“Thank you Caitlyn & Jade for a great experience and service, positive energy and cozy atmosphere) The food was delicious and fresh 10 from 10. Cocktails ? was nice and good balance ?I love Italian food and it was the best carbonara I ever had! Kind people, beautiful design and great hospitality. Highly recommend ??“

“I ordered a gift card as a birthday present and there was a mix up (my end) in which they went over and above to correct for me. We don't live in Columbus but I can certainly see why my kids LOVE LawBird and their staff. We'll certainly make it a point to stop in on our next visit down.“

“Great people. Fabulous place“

“Enjoyed a quick lunch buffet, food was great, good selection and food quality was high. We were just passing through but would have certainly gone back for a full dinner off the a la carte menu which looked to have a great selection. Based on the quality and flavor of the lunch buffet would have high expectations for the broader menu!“

“Just had their newest addition to the high quality menu. The generous portion could easily be a shareable for two or a great lunch tomorrow. Extremely tasty with the right balance of crumbles and b’fflo sauce. Great w/seasoned fries or house chips. Make sure to have a pint of the Kroenburg 1664 pints to wash it down. Oh and BTW, it’s a great deal. Won’t disappoint your palllet or your wallet! Enjoy.“

“Fine Italian dining, with an excellent, reasonably priced menu and gracious owners, Rick and Jackie. They have been a consistently high quality venue in Grandview Heights for 22 years!“

“The bar was quaint yet comfortable for our group of 5. Came up from Toronto to see the Ohio/Nebraska game. Were an older group so didn’t want to be with the students. This place offered us the proper atmosphere. The bartender was very pleasant and knowledgeable. All was great till we viewed the invoice. A special charge appeared on our bill for $82. No idea what this was for so we questioned management and received a questionable response.
Would have been a good night but this left us with a sour taste“

“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.“

“This is my newest fav spot in Columbus. We first went for my bday with our two little kids. We were nervous at first bringing them, but felt welcome and they ADORED their dishes. It was, until Speck graciously brought my a mini ice cream cone for my bday when all hell broke loose ? we were SO close! My husband and I knew we wanted to come back....solo, for a date. We made it happen quickly and I again basked in the culinary experience. Servers are attentive, the ambiance is moody yet delightful, feeling as if you walked into a NY spot. We sat at the chef's counter, which was cool to watch the action.
Twice I for the Fungi Pasta Dish... I would eat it every night if I could. The server recommended a Pinot Noir to pair with it and oh my gosh, he was right. Those little moments is what sets restaurants a part. His knowledge for the dish, even though he said he didn't like mushrooms but knew the two paired together brilliantly was like YES!! THIS IS AMAZING!
Oh, the tuna Crudo dish??? I had to stop myself from being awkward and moaning out loud. I will be dreaming of that dish and counting till the next time we go again.
Well done! We are foodies and it's been awhile since a place has really WOW'd us and I'm so so happy to have Speck in Cbus!“

“We arrived during happy hour- able to get lamb chops, toasted ravioli and bruschetta- the bruschetta had too much red pepper flakes- they ended up comping that. Cocktails were $5 and were delicious. Few small bobbles in timing but really weren't a big deal.“

“Excelente servicio ♥️me gusta el ambiente y la comida le doy un 10!“

“Wine on High was the perfect spot for our company ladies night. Leading up to the event, Tina made the process seamless & easy. Her communication was great. The evening of our event, Eric took the best care of us. We did a wine tasting before dinner & he was so knowledgeable about the wines he was serving us. Dinner & drinks were loved by all. They even personalized the menus with our company logo which I thought was a sweet touch.“

“My husband & I had the privilege of dining at Z Cucina in Dublin on Valentine’s Day. The concierge’s at the front were wonderful, and our most pleasant experience was not only they food, but our wonderful waiter, Benjamin. He is such a great host at one’s table, but has an expert knowledge of the menu. I will request him again!“

“Love the bloody Mary’s with bacon“

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“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!“

“Love Grain + Grape! Great local shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of craft beers and wine. My favorite place to pick up a bottle or two for the weekend.“

“This place is my favorite in Hilliard. The food is good and pretty consistent. It is the original and best of all of the Habaneros locations. (Sorry Grandview, you should have been more like the original!)
Nacho Monday
Pastor Taco Tuesday
Chicken Burrito Wednesday
Torta Thursday
Just go and order the Noah's Ark, two of everything!“

“If you’re headed here on the weekend, prepare for a bit of a wait, usually around 30 to 40 minutes – but it’s completely worth it. People actually drive from over an hour away just to eat here, and many regulars have been coming for more than two decades!
They serve a warm, cinnamon roll as a complimentary appetizer on weekends.

Once you’re seated, you’re in for a seafood treat. The Grouper is beautifully flaky and packed with flavor, the Orange Roughy is buttery and just melts in your mouth, and the seared tuna has that perfect peppery crust and tender center. And the Walleye? Lightly breaded and fried to crispy perfection, served with a homemade tartar sauce that’s the ideal combination.
This is a must try sea food restaurant in Columbus area!“

“Celebrated 20 days before my son and future daughter in law take the plunge everything was fantastic !“

“My husband and I recently visited Dos Hermanos (in Easton) for our weekly date night, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long, long time. After living in Columbus for over 3 years (and searching high & low), I had come to the sad conclusion that there were no good authentic Mexican restaurants in thus city — that was, until I stepped foot into Dos Hermanos. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with hot chips and fresh, flavorful salsa that set the tone for the rest of our meal. The menu features a wide range of authentic Mexican dishes at reasonable prices. My husband and I tried the queso blanco, street tacos, Birria tacos, and churros. Each dish was flavourful, hot, and super fresh. My personal favorite were the Birria tacos — every bite was packed with the right balance of spices and tenderness. I am very picky when it comes to restaurants, especially Mexican, and let me tell you; if you like flavor (not just salt…), this is the place for you! The food wasn’t all that impressed us — the wait staff was equally fantastic. Our waitress, Megan, was an absolute superstar. She was attentive, friendly, and made our experience very enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and well staffed— a true hidden gem. After our first visit, we couldn’t resist going back again (only 2 weeks later), and I’m happy to report that the experience was just as perfect as before. No doubt about it, Dos Hermanos deserves a solid 5 out of 5 stars. My search for a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Columbus is officially over! If you also have been tirelessly searching for a truly good Mexican restaurant, this is the place!“

“Our waitress Kendra was amazing! The food and drinks were fabulous! Our extremely picky child said they have the best pizza she’s ever had. We had to order an entire pizza to go! Thanks for a great time! We will absolutely be back!“

“The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top of the line. We have returned multiple times and always walk away happy. Wagyu sliders, dumplings, and skirt steak are our personal favorites.“

“Our first visit to Ruth’s Chris . We really enjoyed our server and her fun bubbly personality . She took the time to explain the history of the restaurant and called herself the “menu tour guide “. Her name was Michelle . The food was amazing . The plate keeps your food hot throughout your entire meal and the steak is the best I’ve ever had ! I only wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more .This is definitely a place I will frequent now . 5 stars easy“
