“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.“

“Consider asking for the carmel sauce on the side of the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It was just a little too sweet for me. Fantastic, friendly service and we could see the food was prepared by a kitchen that cooks with pride and pays attention to the details. Very reasonable pricing!“

“James was our server this evening; he took the time to explain the menu and took concern with the fact that we were dining with a friend with celiac issues. He was knowledgeable and friendly, consistent and attentive without being over bearing. James alone made the evening perfect. The food was spectacular (as always) but James going above and beyond made the evening perfect for Brenda who; rarely, gets taken seriously in other restaurants. Please let him know that every time our friends come to Ohio we will make sure we dine with Him at Cameron's. Thank you again for an amazing evening.“

“Awesome interesting clientele! Everyone is super friendly, especially the staff! It’s small, clean, laid back with a decent menu of mostly fried fare That is the only negative, the whole place smells like a fryolator, you will need to wash your entire outfit, down to your skivies. It’s worth it though!“

“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!“

“Toledo ohio location, FOOD WAS GREAT, WAS MY ANNIVERSARY BUT THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SEEN MY SERVER THREE TIMES, ONCE TO TAKE MY ORDER, NEXT WEN MY FOOD ARRIVES, AND LAST WEN I ASKED FOR THE BILL,NEVER GOT A REFILL FOR MY DRINKS AND WALKED PASSED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT CHECKING“

“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.“

“So much fun! Glad we had reservations so we had actual seats. I would hate to stand all night. Our server, Alexis, was phenomenal! Friendly, attentive, and when we asked for napkins bc of the condensation from our glasses causing our table to be wet, she went a step further and came back with a wet rag and cleaned our whole table!“

“Visited Columbus for the first time and stumbled into an amazing restaurant that truly sets the bar for what ethos restaurants should operate from- no seed oils, quality water and everything cooked in beef tallow. For a health conscious restaurant their prices are beyond reasonable with something on the menu for anyone who’s looking to expand their horizons of healthy eating.

Our server Katie was exceptional- so so kind, knowledgeable about the menu and carried a smile on her face the entire service. The GM even made it a point to comp our wellness shots we ordered since we were visiting. Truly made our experience! Thank you katie! ❤“

“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“

“The food is food, it’s a bar after all. It’s the service that makes all the difference! Ivy, Rebecca, and “V” Valezka are amazing! Search high and low, you’ll not find three bartenders that will put a smile on your face, a beer in your hand, and wanting never to leave.“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“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!“

“We had Culver’s ice cream catered at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Nick Donahue, the GM of Powell, and his team were wonderful. Thank you, thank you! 5 ⭐️!!“

“Went in with a small group the night of Pride. Chad has what it takes to make the place run smooooooth. We watched him and his charisma and were very impressed with how he handled the crowd. He made everyone feel welcome and important (even when they tried to jump the line). Our waitress was Summer and she didn’t miss a beat. Everything we ordered came out hot and perfectly prepared!
Thank you for the quality service and food! Great atmosphere, food and service!“

“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.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“

“Stopped in for happy hour-ordered the KFC bites, fried green tomatoes, and deviled eggs. All 3 were fantastic! The entrees were delicious and the cocktails were incredible! Service was also top tier!“

“Incredibly nice Breakfast Eatery with friendly customer Service, and an amazing variety of food options. I highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This place never disappoints. We sampled a few cocktails, and every one of them was smooth, refreshing, and well made. The service really stood out—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and happy to help with anything we needed. The space has a clean, stylish look that feels both modern and relaxing. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy good drinks, great hospitality, and a comfortable atmosphere all in one visit.“

“One of the best dining experiences we have had in some time. We ordered the NY strip and a slice of their homemade pie. Every single thing we ate was delicious. Service was amazingly friendly. Best option in the area, by far. The steak here was a million times better than the steak down the street at FYR and was probably 30-40% less expensive.“

“🍷 Growing up in Italy, I’m naturally a little picky when it comes to Italian food, but Forno Kitchen + Bar has become one of my favorite spots here. I often come for their wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, both full of authentic flavor that instantly take me back to evenings in Turin. The warm atmosphere, paired with a good glass of wine, makes every visit feel like a little taste of home“

“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!“

“My friends, believe me when I say that the Chicken and Avocado Sandwich at this Cafe was one of the best I've ever had. I CRUSHED that sandwich like it was my last meal on the face of this earth. My husband had the cheeseburger and fries. He (rudely) didn't let me have a bite of the burger, but he said the flavor was fantastic. I did steal his fries, though, and they were crispy and delicious. We both got gluten free buns, with low expectations, but the buns were great, too! 10 out of 10, no notes. I'm already lobbying hard to come back tomorrow for lunch.“

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

“My husband and I took our kids to the Columbus zoo along with my mom. We found this place online and tried it. It was a great experience. The food is good and the people working there are good too. Very clean, even the bathrooms were spotless.“

“The Morgan House is our go to place when my friend, Candy, comes to visit. we always shop and have lunch there, too. Our latest visit on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 was exceptional!! Lunch was amazing. We both had the chicken salad basket and now we can't wait to go back. Our Server Kelci was so nice, efficient and so professional. A major GOLD STAR for her. she made our lunch time experience so pleasant. We hope she is still there for our next visit. Thank you, Kelci“

“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.“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“Just ate dinner here at the Culver's off Renner Rd. in Hillard. Our food came out quickly and hot. It was delicious. The person who took our order was quick, friendly and, polite. The restaurant was very clean and the dining room was staffed with someone who walked around cleaning tables as soon as someone left. We'll eat here again!“

“We love Three Brothers. My husband & I lived in Grove City for 2 years and we were always at the GC restaurant — with delicious meals that always hit the spot and lovely staff, it was a no-brainer. I look back to these times fondly. Oftentimes, if we received good news or were celebrating an achievement, we’d go to Three Brothers to celebrate. That’s how much we loved going. Lots of good memories there. We even took my family from New Zealand and everyone loved it.

We have since moved away, so our closest is now in Powell. We love this one too! I don’t know who their chefs are, but they sure know how to make incredible food! I love trying the new specials (or old favorites) and I know whenever we walk in we will be taken care of by fabulous staff. Seems like that’s just a Three Brothers thing.

The atmosphere inside is very clean, warm and inviting, and we look forward to celebrating new moments and memories here at the Powell restaurant. Cheers!“

“Hands-down, the best Coney shop that I’ve ever been to. I go here on a regular basis They have amazing coney dogs! The owner is super genuine and extremely nice I’ve been here enough times where I feel like I need to leave a review because the service The food in the atmosphere is unlike any other family business I’ve ever been to This place is hands-down, the best If you haven’t tried, I think it’s your time to!!“

“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.“

“We had a lovely dinner with friends here. The place was lively & busy on a Friday evening. The service was Excellent!! They have a nice wine list with selections for many tastes, by the glass or bottle. We had the Cheese Stuffed Butter Rolls as an appetizer for the table which were only ok for me, everyone else liked them. We all really loved our House Specialties entrees. My Seared Scallops came with five perfectly cooked. The Pan Fried Fish, St Louis BBQ Ribs and Ribeye we're all so delicious. The Texas sheet cake for dessert was shared and very good also the espresso Martini to finish the meal was perfect. Family friendly and was a bit too loud at time although I loved the vibs and would love to visit again. We spent over $440w/tip for four people, apps, bottle of wine, drinks, entrees, and desserts.“

“We love Delaneys! They have great food and the staff is friendly !“

“Ashley was a wonderful server, extremely accommodating! Her suggestions helped me pair the right drink with my mood and my meal! The food was phenomenal. We shared deviled eggs and steak egg rolls. The eggs were top -tier, and the egg rolls basically melted in our mouths. We ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and our friend had the grilled salmon with orzo. We need boxes. We took home dessert. Coming here was the best decision we made last weekend.“

“great bar! awesome bartenders! Great music venue! but they need work on their mac and watery cheese.“
