New American Restaurants near Westerville, OH

“Such a unique and comforting atmosphere with utterly delicious food!!!“

“Our waiter was Liam. He was polite and smiled. I was able to change the meal just a little to stay on my diet restrictions. He did an amazing job. Thank you Liam. The food was awesome and was excellent! I live over 24 miles away, but will come back and bring family.“

“This is one of the best restaurants for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. The food is consistent. I have visited all the locations in the area, and I can confidently say that the food quality, quantities, and flavor are consistent. My favorite meal selections are the cloud nine pancakes, applewood smoked bacon, homemade breakfast sausage, country breakfast, fresh buttermilk biscuit, classic cheeseburger, Northstar burger, fish sandwich, and chopped salad. I have never had a bad experience or meal at Northstar. This is the energy and sense of community that was present at Starbucks. You can see and feel through the experience and the atmosphere that Northstar is firmly committed to exceptional service and quality. This is my go-to spot to rewind, relax, and socialize.“

“Hannah peer is amazing! Best server ever“

“First time dining here. Enjoyed a late Saturday lunch with friends. Great service with a smile, fresh and tasty food. Will be back.“

“Had a great experience the food was great and everyone was friendly“

“We had wonderful food tonight and great service by our server Megan. Haven't been to Wendall's Pub in many years but I will be back sooner next time!“

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

“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.“

“Food was great and portions were large! The value is the best around! Carlie was great and made sure we had everything we need.

Kid-friendliness: The servers made our kids feel comfortable and the kids menu had great options.“

“My husband ordered take-out a few days ago and included a slice of apple pie for me. I don't usually have room for dessert, so usually skip it, but this pie was the best I have had in YEARS!! HIGHLY recommend! Delicious, and that was the next day! :)“

“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.“

“As first-time guests, our minds are blown, by the excellent level of service and food. As fans of Top Chef, we had the joy of watching such high caliber preparation. The kitchen ran as a symphony, with such professionalism, speed and precision. And the flavors!!!!! Chef Sara is exemplar, and personable, even taking the time to chat with us. Our server Jolee is also worth asking for, as her level of kindness and service is beyond words. And another wonderful element, which is often overlooked, is that our water glasses were immediately refilled. We travel the world, and this has been one of our all-time best dining experiences. You will be amazed!“

“We dined here for our 6 year anniversary dinner and could not have been happier with our choice. We were seated 15 minutes early for our 7pm reservation, and promptly given water. Our server Chandler was great. He took the time to explain the menu, specials and make recommendations for drinks. Throughout the evening he was very attentive and available, at the end of our meal he even boxed my leftovers and gave us a free dessert! I was more than impressed with the food. The rolls were soft and pillowy on the inside, but had a wonderfully crisp crust with just the right amount of salt. The tavern salad was truly refreshing too. The greens were crisp and fresh, the slightly sweet vinaigrette was perfectly mixed and the gorgonzola cheese was a fantastic compliment to it all. The beef stroganoff was absolutely divine. The sauce was one of the best I have ever had! The noodles were perfectly cooked and thick, there was plenty of tender beef and a generous amount of mushrooms. I came hungry and could only eat half of it too! I would order this over and over again! My fiancé ordered the porterhouse with asparagus and a side of scallops. He raved about the scallops all night! He said they were the best he has had, even better than a seafood restaurants'. He enjoyed his steak as well, which was cooked just to his liking and seasoned nicely. He almost started chewing the bone to get the last bits of meat off! He said the asparagus had a light lemon and salt flavor. To finish the meal we chose the crème brûlée. The crust was thick, the custard rich and the whole thing quite addictive. I would order it again for sure. Our meal, which had 2 cocktails too, came out to under $200 even with a 25% tip. We think it was certainty worth the price for the attentiveness of the staff and quality and flavors of the food we received. We are looking forward to coming back!“

“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.“

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

“I reserved a table for my husband and I to celebrate our recent marriage. It was Friday night and SO busy. Even though it was packed, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and open to discussing the menu. We were very appreciative of the gluten free modifications they made for us (and a lot of it didn't even need modified). Excellent cocktails and my husband was able to watch Chef and staff prepare (in the main lounge). The Sea Bass was excellent and my husband said the Waygu steak "will haunt my dreams." We finished with Creme Brûlée, which was already gluten free. We will definitely go back again.“

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

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“Atmosphere is casual, mature, classy, simple. Fun and chill place for food and drinks and talk. Definitely not a rowdy bar which is nice if you’re trying to avoid that. Decent prices, honestly good for the quality of food you get. Also GOOD portions (got the nachos, snickerdoodles, and drinks- everything was massive!!!) The Ladies running the food were phenomenal! Quick, and efficient and super sweet explaining how the place works since it was our first time. Our bartender/server was super kind also but maybe not as quick and efficient. First drink i ordered from her was VERY strong, second one was fairley weak. Otherwise good and she just seem to get caught up in conversation. Granted there was only us and 1 other table here, she also sat down to talk and conversate with the other table while we were waiting to order more. Overall really good experience though! Will be back!!!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“We were greeted and seated immediately. Then we sat, and sat, watching server after server go by without even a hello. Finally, Mason showed up, and actually, he turned out to be worth the wait. Friendly, attentive, and offered good suggestions. The trout dip tasted like trout (yea) and the toast was perfect. The vegetable club was amazing - golden beets, slice of feta. Truly a taste fest. The smoked old fashion was a unique take with the orange slice holding in the smoke a little longer.“

“Fantastic food and service. Wyatt kicked serious butt working the front during a typical busy lunch by himself. Well worth the trip to Sunbury. I recommend the Reuben and Parm fries or their wraps.“

“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 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.“

“I want to give a shoutout to my waitress, Morgan and the manager Andrea for your care and attention on March 23rd, my birthday. I'd decided to dine solo, in part because I chose to. You didn't have to do what you did (after sharing my story). You two deserve ALL the good things. Thank you, RGaines“

“Just went today for the first time. Good atmosphere and even better food. Staff was great and helpful for our first time. Definitely coming back!“

“Great overall place to eat, service was great food was stellar and would definitely return. Would have given 5stars but the 4in hole in the center of parking lot needs fixed, ended up with a semi wet foot, and drenched pant leg. At least put a fixed orange cone there.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“excellent food and great service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our server was Amanda and she was great! She recommended the cinnamon French toast which was AMAZING. We had a wonderful time. 10/10“

“Second time trying this place. Fresh ingredients, healthy choices, sizeable portions and all at a great value. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. On top of the great menu , the friendly and knowledgeable staff will leave you knowing this place hits the spot next time you are wanting a change from another generic salad.“

“It was my first time here. We ordered a BBQ chicken chop. Just the salad bowl. The Romaine lettuce was fresh and crunchy. The rotisserie chicken was soft and juicy. Overall, it was a good decent bowl. The bowl was kind of sweet with the standard sauces that came with it. Adding hot sauce made it right. Good place.“

“Fun and friendly atmosphere! Good people working here!“

“My son has allergies to dairy, soy, and almond and sensitive to white potatoes! It’s so hard to eat out! We are out of town and decided to try this as we ate at the one in Cincinnati before he had allergies! The manager came out. The chef told him what they could do and the waitress was made aware and did an allergy ticket for his meal! The best service and we felt the allergy was taken serious! Would highly recommend!“

“Great food! Camden was a great server!“

“Alana M had very good service 5 stars“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed our Saturday night dinner celebration for 9 of us celebrating my grandson’s UC graduation. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was outstanding! The short ribs special was very good and we all agreed that the bay scallops and shrimp risotto is an outstanding dish! The entire staff is very friendly and for a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed excellent service! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant in downtown. Go a little ahead of reservation…downtown parking is somewhat limited. Thanks for a terrific celebration, Whitney House!“

“The short Rib with the sauce was a perfect combo on the French Flip burger

The Chipotle Ranch complimented the egg on top of the Rachero Burger

The sauce was a sweet addition to the brisket on the Smokey Burger.

Megan, our server was awesome too. She gave us plenty of recommendations and knew her staff really well“

“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!“

“Absolutely Enjoy every breakfast meal. My favorite is the Cheesy grits“
