New American Restaurants near Westerville, OH

“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!“

“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.“

“Josey was an absolute delight!! So attentive, friendly, and helpful - great recommendations and advice! Would request to be seated in her section again. Thank you so much for the attention you paid to my wife and I. You made our honeymoon very special. We couldn't have asked for a better server. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“So glad we stopped on our way through!

You can either have full service or order and they will bring your food when ready. We opted for the latter but it was almost no different than full service. The staff were all welcoming and attentive.

Our family of 4 had a good variety of the menu and all food was fresh and tasty. Salad, nachos, kids grilled chicken, brussels, and the littlest had pick 3 sides (genius option).

Highly recommend.“

“We’ve started going into District 13 on Friday nights. It’s a great way to end the work week by relaxing and having a great meal! The food is delicious and fast and friendly service. Definitely recommend!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“We had a fabulous experience! Thank you Alana“

“I met a friend for an early dinner before the Nate Bargatze show at the nearby Schottenstein Center. The patio was lovely, and well barricaded from the street with a wall and planters. Jeffro was our server, and he was amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and attentive. I had the Hudson 29 roll (per Jeffro's recommendation) and a small arugula salad. Both were delicious. My friend had the burger and fries; she enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly (she likes hers well done). Very lovely dinner!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had the small wedge salad and added chicken. It was a nice sized portion with about half a grilled chicken breast sliced. It was good but nothing stood out to make it any better than most wedge salads. Being able to choose a size and add protein was a bonus. We shared a small order of onion rings that were fresh, hot and delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try! We each had a cocktail and that was definitely the highlight for me as it had been a long and stressful day. Being able to sit out on the patio after the rained had cooled off the hot day made our meal even more enjoyable.“

“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.“

“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!! 🫶“

“I asked for a table with armrests for my shoulder pain and they went and switched the leather chairs in the waiting area to a table by the patio. I was stunned and we enjoyed a great meal.“

“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.“

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

“We had a large group (10 people) go in for brunch today. I rarely leave my house due to health reasons. This was a very lovely, relaxing time. The food was delicious and service was great. Thank you very much!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I recently visited Flip Side in Easton and had an excellent experience. I came alone and sat at the bar, where I was greeted warmly by multiple staff members. Everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The bartender chatted with me about my taste in beer and offered a few samples—the lager stood out as excellent. For food, I let her decide and she recommended Shawn’s Burger with truffle fries. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the fries were fantastic. She even brought a couple sauces to try, which were delicious, though the fries really stood on their own.

Beyond the food and drinks, the staff’s attentiveness stood out. The bartender was friendly and welcoming, and I loved the touch of greenery throughout the restaurant. Everything was very clean, and paying my bill on my phone was quick and convenient.

Overall, Flip Side is a gem. Between the outstanding food, excellent service, and great atmosphere, I would highly recommend stopping in if you’re ever in Easton.“

“🙂Excellent Door Dash option for our little upstate NY town!“
