“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’m visiting for Atlanta and just walked in here. The food was so good! The sushi was so fresh and flavorful! Also had the burger and triple dip. It was nice to have different cuisines in one meal. Mayli was our server and she was so sweet and had great recommendations! She gave us a full menu walk through and her communication was top tier. Thank you!“

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

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“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.“

“Overall, a very pleasant experience. Our sever was friendly and attentive. Nice vibe, relatively quiet even with large groups and children seated near. Food was all good. We had the June special drinks and dessert. I recommend both. We loved the tempura mushrooms and grilled peppers. The restaurant is pricey with relatively small portions, but the quality is there. I would definitely go again should I find myself back in the area.“

“Amazing experience from cocktails to apps to entrees! I mentioned my nut allergy and I felt that was heard - which made my birthday dinner stress free. The servers and waitress were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. It can be a loud environment, so if you are looking for a more quiet, intimate place it is something to consider. Will be back for their happy hour!“

“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!“

“A really great experience and a perfect way to close out a busy day. After spending all day visiting OSU, this was a great place to grab a quick meal and a cocktail before heading home. The staff was friendly and the prices were on point. Complimentary drinks and good food rounded out the meal. Try the margarita pizza and nachos with both dips! Will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I visited Culver's while exploring a new area, and it turned out to be a good choice. The restaurant felt bright, clean, and welcoming from the moment I entered. The menu had enough variety, so it was easy to find something that matched what I wanted. My order was served fresh, and everything looked nicely prepared. The staff checked that customers had everything they needed, which added a nice personal touch. The seating was comfortable, and the dining area stayed clean during my visit. Parking was available and easy to access, so there was no hassle before or after the meal. Overall, the experience was smooth from start to finish, and I would happily return if I'm nearby 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!“

“First time dining here. Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for a night away that we don't get often. We were not disappointed. Nicholas was our server and he did a wonderful job. Very informative on menu and very kind. Food was delicious! Will be back for sure.“

“Delicious food and amazing service by Ben!!!! Highly recommend.“

“Went for 25th anniversary and it was an amazing experience. We got a full rack of ribs and the ribeye. Both were very delicious. Stephanie J did a great job of service. We went on a Tuesday at 7PM and it was quite full and lots of energy. I wound up having to sit beside my wife instead of across just to hear each other talk. But that just means everyone was having a great time!“

“As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the owner Frank, super nice guy.
The cashier was super nice and helpful as well. I told him I've never been there before and I he was very helpful with selecting the right coney.
The food was amazing and all around great experience. Definitely we be returning to try other items!“

“excellent food. amazing breakfast and service!“

“Excellent food and great service at the Delaware location“

“🍷 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“

“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.“

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

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

“Excellent from start to finish“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“Overall really good experience. We had no wait on a Monday holiday, couldn’t believe how fast our food came out. Eggs Benny were amazing & the side potatoes were just as good! I wish there were more of a specialty coffee/latte menu. I was super disappointed when the waitress said only hot coffee or a cold brew 🥴 thought for sure a brunch place would have really good lattes.“
