“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!“

“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 old school jazz venue!“

“This is an excellent boutique bar. Their specialty drinks are delicious, and their bar staff are friendly and helpful. They also usually have great selections of various films and anime playing on the tvs. This is usually the first stop on our nights our when my partner and I have a night out in Columbus and we usually end up returning again throughout the night.“

“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!“

“Denmark On High is a true Columbus gem!!! I absolutely loved this place! I participated in the Cocktail Making Class for my Sister-In-Law's Bachelorette Party a few weeks ago, and had an absolute blast! Gato is the best bartender and instructor ever!! He was a ton of fun and the drinks were some of the best I've ever had in Columbus!!! I will absolutely visit this bar again and I look forward to trying more drinks. I highly recommend this bar for everyone 21+ !!!!“

“Had a great evening. Fabulous food and service. Will be back soon.“

“Great food, great service. Only wish that the students waiting on the tables could accept tips directly to them. They do a great job and deserve the tips. I think anything tipped is given back to the school. Which is great, but the kids also deserve some extra change in their pocket in my opinion.“

“Eldorado's is one of the best local bars in Northside-Morse road Columbus Ohio.
2 great pool tables and a dart board. The 2 working bartenders are attentive to not only drinks but they're kitchen as well.
It maybe the best bar on Morse road, I've never had a bad time from the Karaoke trivia nights with DJ Timmah!
I recommend checking the place out, not a bad stop on any night.“

“We had an awesome experience on the Echo Spirits bourbon tour, and a huge part of that was our tour guide, Robbie He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour both fun and informative from start to finish. You could tell he’s genuinely passionate about bourbon and the distilling process, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand while keeping the group entertained.

The tasting was excellent, and Robbie took the time to answer everyone’s questions and share interesting stories along the way. Whether you’re new to bourbon or already a fan, he makes the experience memorable.

If you’re visiting Echo Spirits, I highly recommend taking the tour—and if you get Robbie as your guide, you’re in for a great time. Thanks for making our visit such a great experience!“

“We always try to make it fit the holiday pop-up at Citizens Trust. Drinks are fun and very festive, decorations are glittery and gleaming! Always a fun time with friends!“

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“A great place to watch a game! The beer was cold, plenty of TVs and I enjoyed the crowd! We had the wings and they were delicious! The service was fast and efficient. The staff seemed super happy and it showed! We also found Renie’s to be very clean! This will be my new hangout for Sunday football! A hidden gem!“

“"Be Nice To Each Other" -Sheila Ann SteuberHometown atmosphere with down to earth people. Relaxing and entertaining, known to many as the local Cheers! Everyone knows your name and are happy to see you! My mother loved this place and its owner until the day she died. May the wind always be at your back, may the sun always shine down upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you off to see the stars.“

“Traditional phillys in Ohio, I'm on it. 5*“

“Such an interesting concept and even more thoughtfully executed. It really is a unique little bar that is built around a fun atmosphere for guests. The staff is also extremely nice and knowledgeable. I got an alcoholic slushies and got to sit next to a porthole I'm not sure many people get to say that's something they've experienced in their life so on experience alone 5/5 and once you add in that the drink I had was also immaculate I wish I could rate them higher ☺️“

“My favorite restaurant of all time! Amazing ramen, great staff“

“simply the best plant based restaurant in the country and probably the world. This is the spot my wife and I go for all of our special occasions even though we live in Indianapolis.“

“Everything was top notch! Excellent experience.“

“This is a really nice place. We enjoy that it is attached to Donatos pizza, so it smells heavenly in here. Nice drink selection. Clean restrooms. They also have a really nice patio out front. They lady working the night of October 17th 2025, was really sweet & kind. I forgot to get her name.“

“I am visiting from Boston and just happen to spontaneously tour the Ohio Statehouse. Here, I lunched at HouseTaco which locates inside the Statehouse itself. The food is quick and fresh. Chef Zach prepared the tacos on-site with passion. They were delicious! What a hidden gem!!!“

“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!“

“The ambiance of the pub is nice; things are kept clean and pleasant and the lighting is good. However, based on the name you may be under the impression that there is a DnD theme or a English / Irish / Scots influence. There is none. Rather, it's the most upscale you can get a hole in the wall bar to be before you'd end up scaring off the real down and out alcoholics and instead servicing yuppies who know to stop before a third shot. It's the nicest it can get before it transitions from dive to faux-dive.“

“soft serve margs and fresh chiccaronres with guac, two best things on the menu, and the staff is awesome 👌🏼“

“My go-to for decompressing after a hard day at work, they have a wide variety of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic cocktails that tadre great and all the staff are very tolerant and understanding of all walks of life, making it a very inclusive space to be in“

“We loved it! Great food. Our service was amazing. Our waiter was Russell. He made sure we had a great experience.“

“Amazing service and staff. Love the setting.“

“We had a delightful Christmas Eve dinner with appetizers and three different entrees. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and our favorite! The sauce was wonderful!“

“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.“

“Not sure how this doesn't have five stars across the board. We drove from almost ten hours away and after scouring places to eat we decided to stop here. The crust is crisp, not soggy or tough with good flavor and thickness. You can't go wrong with fresh ingredients like the mozzarella and mushrooms (fresh not canned, wowee!) either. We also tried Gina's Gem and between the beautiful focaccia and the dip being creamy while also sweet with a small back burn to it, you really can't go wrong. The bar is a great place to sit, no spoilers, but the walls and shelves are filled with awesome and hilarious things that make good conversation. It's a shame this wonderful place is so far from home but we're hoping to make it a yearly tradition. Thanks for the great food, staff, and atmosphere!“

“One of my favorite restaurants to go to! I have ordered multiple things from the menu and everyone of them was delicious. The Smash burger with crispy well seasoned fries, the Cobb salad, the lettuce wraps, pizza, wings. Everything was good and it’s set in a space where you can hear eachother talk with a nice soft lighting around the room. I requests this place everytime some asks where we should meet and everyone loves it!“

“Our server, Alix, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and seemed to answer our questions before we thought of them. She is a credit to the restaurant. Our meals were well prepared and tasty. I had pasta and clam special and was very pleased. My partner enjoyed his carbonara and his side order of meatballs. I did think the ceasar salad was overdressed. In addition, the side order of bread, while delicious, should always be accompanied by olive oil (we had to request).“

“🍷 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“

“There was amazing service, it was fast and the waiter was amazing. They were pretty busy when we got here but got seated right away as well as our food was fast and tasted amazing. Definitely a favorite and will come agin“

“Great food , great service clean fun . Hard send“

“Great place to have a gathering. We rented the atrium and were very happy with the overall service, friendliness of the staff. Could not have been any better. The fireplace made it extra special. Thanks again! We will be back“

“I usually only post about local / mom-and-pop places but service, friendliness and the size of that slice, blew my mind!
Late night and out with friends, drinks in North Short area of Columbus nd cravings kicked in 🤣
Late at night and the staff still had smiles and a jovial demeanor!
The pizza hit the spot too! 😋“

“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.“

“I’ve eaten at every Indian joint in Columbus and hands down this is the best spot for flavor and environment, I’ve tried stuff I’ve never eaten before (yummy) I’ve tried food I loved back home (delicious) and they always deliver, I’ve ordered out here over 15 times according to DoorDash and sat in 3 times this place is THEEEEEE spot“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“Fantastic food and service. Top notch - if your in Columbus this restaurant is a must.“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“There is a lot of average Indian food out there but Rooh is on another level. It is one that we have only experience at restaurants like Deshoom in London. The hostess was so wonderful her personality is the best way to walk into a restaurant. The wait staff was perfection and unlike so many restaurants nowadays the pacing of the 3 course meal for restaurant week was perfection. Each course more tasty and beautifully prepared than the next. We don’t come to Columbus often but I would consider coming back just to eat here, and we will for sure be back next time we are in town. I just wish we would have Indian food this good anywhere near where we live. This place is a gem.“

“Garret was great! Recommend a Gran Classico and I loved it!“

“We had so much fun. It was my first time duck pin bowling. I would recommend for all ages.“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“We came to Huli Huli in Powell to celebrate my birthday, and it was everything I hoped for and more! The atmosphere is relaxed yet upscale, with a tropical-chic vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a quick island getaway. We didn’t even need main dishes—our appetizers and drinks stole the show. The Bang Bang Broccoli was crispy, spicy perfection, and the Tiki Fries were so flavorful we cleaned the plate. Every bite was bold, unique, and absolutely delicious. Our server Jacob made the experience even better. He was friendly, professional, and perfectly timed with everything. He made us feel welcome and celebrated from start to finish. Whether you’re stopping in for apps and cocktails or planning a full dinner, Huli Huli is a must. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Beautiful dining area! Having a great evening.“
