“Mom and I went for lunch yesterday and both ended up having breakfast! She got the buttermilk pancakes and I ordered the special pumpkin pancakes with cinnamon butter and tres leches drizzle. Mom loved hers and my was fabulous. I also had two links of sausage that were better than your usual mass made, which made me wonder if they get it directly from a butcher. The iced tea was also fresh and good.“

“Hannah peer is amazing! Best server ever“

“Gabriella was an exceptional server, deserving a perfect 10 out of 10. She delivered our food promptly and consistently checked on us, ensuring we never felt neglected despite having several tables. Her recommendation to try dessert was so convincing that I decided to indulge, even though I typically skip dessert when dining out. Her suggestion was truly delightful.“

“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!“

“My husband and I have order from them twice now through door dash. We enjoy their food! It is so 😋 tasty!

I looked them up here since we just now discussed maybe one day actually traveling to eat here. They've not made any mistakes thus far, but even then we tend to be a gracious bunch 😜“

“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! :)“

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

“Nice American style fine dining. Dishes generally lean towards the sweeter end of the pallet. Meal comes with a starter of good bread, sweet cream butter and garlic. Friendly wait staff are knowledgeable about the dishes and check in an appropriate amount without being overbearing. They treat special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries to a little extra. We got a rose and dessert.“

“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“

“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!“

“Amazing birthday dinner.. I ordered twin lobster tails. We split a wedge salad and bread basket. Husband had teriyaki salmon which was melt in your mouth perfection. Free birthday dessert was warm butter cake with fresh fruit, ice cream and raspberry sauce. Absolute perfection and amazing service. Thank you for a great celebration.“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Explain, maybe i'm not sure.Burger is is amazing.You gotta put this in your mouth and the fishing chips.And my wife has is absolutely delicious.But the brussels sprout appetizer is spectacular also“

“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.“

“Always a great time at The Avenue, but Brady really set the bar tonight. Constantly checking on us, very attentive to us and everyone around us, and never skipped a beat when it came to explaining specials and answering our questions. Can’t wait to come back!“

“This place is a must — trust me! I’ll start with the steak. My ribeye was cooked to perfection, and the quality of the meat was top-notch. I’ve been to steakhouses all over Ohio at every price point, and this steak was absolutely comparable. A+.
The Brussels sprouts hit the spot too! I loved that they weren’t covered in balsamic or overloaded with salt like so many restaurants do these days. Another A+.

Some people say you can’t mess up a sweet potato — and while I’ll admit it’s difficult, I disagree because I’ve had plenty I left behind. This one didn’t stand a chance once I hit it with butter and brown sugar. Yet another A+.

The establishment itself is beautiful and spotless, and the service was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I typically dine in Columbus, where sometimes it feels like your presence is an inconvenience, so the hospitality here was the cherry on top.

I’ll definitely be back to try more of the dishes I saw other people enjoying!“

“We had several dishes but the short rib was tender and delicious. The burger which my son stared was the best he ever had echoed by the server was ok. I would definition come back for the short rib... the cookies were smaller than miniature but it's a nice touch.“

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

“Bodega is one of those places that knows exactly what it is and leans into it. A low-key, no-frills neighborhood dive with just enough charm to make you want to hang out longer than you planned.

The funnel cake fries are the real surprise hit. Crispy, fluffy, perfectly dusted with sugar and dangerously easy to keep eating. I honestly came in for a drink and left thinking about those fries.

Huge shoutout to Salim behind the bar. Super friendly, attentive, and bringing just the right mix of smooth and playful energy that makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. He made the whole experience better.

Bodega may not be trying to be fancy, and that’s part of its appeal. It’s a relaxed, easygoing spot with good vibes, great service, and snacks that punch way above their weight.

Would come back, especially for those funnel cake fries and Salim’s hospitality.“

“Hudson’s is usually our family’s go-to-place for special occasions. We were there on 6/20/26, celebrating Father’s Day. We usually have great food and great service, but we were a little disappointed on this visit. I got the swordfish special with peach chutney. The fish was overly seasoned and too spicy. Nowhere did it say on the description on the meal, did it mention spicy. I perspired uncomfortably due to it, which I generally do when foods are too spicy. The kale salad that was served with it was delicious and the peach pound cake was delicious as well, but with too few peaches.Husband said his French dip sandwich was not as good as usual, different type bun, and his fries were not hot .“

“The patio dining is picturesque, check my photos. This place beats everyone in the entire area; Service, food quality, the daily fish specials, and drinks are marvelous. The smoked salmon dip is bomb, and you’ve never had a deviled egg as good as theirs- no joke. Unbelievable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Met my daughter and her fiance here for lunch one weekend. It was our first time eating here. We all loved the food, the service, and the cleanliness. Highly recommend this place! I'll definitely be going back!“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“I know Flipside in Hudson so we figured to we would see if this location was just as good. The staff was wonderful and the menu was just as good. These burgers are the best. So many beers available & we stayed too long trying many of them. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Belly up to the bar if it's just two of you or grab a table for a group. The Press has an awesome craft beer list with lots of local options and good pub grub. The burgers, wedge salad and steak fries are my go to, but that's always dependent on what's the daily special. Sunday steak night is also a good value.“

“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!! 🫶“

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

“Went on Valentine’s Day without reservations. Were told a 45 minute wait for a table, or immediate seating at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar. Our waiter Maurice was quick to provide service and very friendly and informative. We both ordered the pacific combo and it was delivered in probably 10 minutes! It was outstanding and we were so stuffed we couldn’t even finish it, all the crab legs were filled with meat (never got an empty one) and everything was exceptional. We drove 2 hours to eat here and would do it again! Thank you Maurice!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“food and service were absolutely on par!“

“A friend and I stopped here for dinner before Impact Wrestling's TV tapings. They were able to find us a seat despite a festival of some kind going on, our food was ready very quickly, and it was both delicious and fairly priced!“

“Enjoyed the breakfast bowl today during the funday Sunday brunch with Jazz Music 🎶 at The Summit Music Hall. The brunch is fantastic, tasty, and a great reason to come out on a Sunday to order from Crunchwerks.“

“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!“
