New American Restaurants near Worthington, OH

“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 ordered the beef stroganoff. It is very delicious. I probably should have taken a picture before I started digging into it LOL. Prices were fair and average. Additionally, this was a large serving so I was able to eat this twice. I typically go out to eat around 7:00 p.m. before my shift starts and then I save my leftovers for midnight lunch. It was delicious a second time as well. I highly recommend this place and I've also heard great things about the other food, especially the meatloaf. Definitely worth stopping in“

“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.“

“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!“

“If there’s a better restaurant in Columbus, I’m not aware of it. Highly recommend, never disappoints!“

“The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was so cozy, comfy, and just really nice. The atmosphere alone would make me want to try this place again. They vary the menu a lot I see with lots of fun offerings, but I think it would be nice to keep a couple more staple items on the menu. I would have really liked some sort of salad with my meal or maybe a French onion soup and they did not have any soups or salads. Espresso martinis were really great! I got a pasta dish. Loved all the components of it, but do feel the sauce felt unfinished. The sourdough toast app was great. My wife got the pork with collards and grits. Would have been great if the pork was cooked more. The grits and greens were great, but texture of the pork made us cringe. I know not fully cooked pork is more common these days, but typically we’re asked how we want it cooked and it was an after thought to mention we wanted it fully cooked. We now know for next time! Free dessert was provided for our anniversary and that was really nice!“

“The food was amazing everything was tasty. I had the scallops as an appetizer the Al formo pizza and key lime pie everything was delicious!! And to top it off our server TIM was AMAZING !!! He was attentive but gave us space .had really great suggestions and overall just an amazing experience!Will for sure be back!“

“Amazing appearance of restaurant very clean and welcoming. The food was outstanding and my server Amira did an excellent job! All the staff did a great job always walking around with smiles on greeting guest as they walked in. I would also like to single out kayley for her great attitude and personality!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely Delicious! The Best Shrimp Scampi Ever! I modified the dish to have it with linguini instead of the orzo...So Good!!! Our server, Kennedy...and friends, were a delight to be with! I even celebrated my Birthday with them! Thanks again 101 Craft Kitchen! Do Visit and Eat!“

Matt is a sheer delight! Super respectful and knowledgeable about the menu.“

“Went there for brunch and ordered the Tavern Benny (sausage, gravy, biscuit, eggs). Food was kind of lukewarm and for the price was nothing special. The service was top notch though. From start to finish. Great employees and experience from that standpoint. Next time I go I'll order something different.“

“From the time we walked in to when we walked out, it was an excellent first experience! Our server Aubrey was friendly and knowledgeable, providing great recommendations based on a few questions she asked to learn about our preferences. I had a filet and lobster tail - exquisite! My mom had the veal - delicious! The drinks from bar were unmatched. I'm already planning my next trip. Thank you!“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“Northstar Cafe in Columbus was a great find. The cookie alone was worth the stop. Fresh, soft, and full of flavour. The sandwiches and shakes were just as impressive and everything tasted like it was made with real quality ingredients.

This is an order at the counter and serve yourself style cafe, so there is no table service, but the setup works well for the vibe of the place. The food comes out quickly, the space is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Overall, Northstar Cafe delivered a delicious and enjoyable experience. Great food, great desserts, and a casual style that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your meal. Five stars.“

The restaurant gives off a charming yet cozy feel, with moody dim lighting and a big crackling fireplace in the center of the dining room that makes you feel at home🤎 we also had the most incredible and accommodating server, shoutout to Jay who hand wrote his favorite Columbus foodie recommendations out for us since we’re new to the area!!! NOW ONTO DINNER: the iron skillet cheddar biscuits are an absolute must!! Served warm and brushed with salted better, they’re just delicious👌🏽followed by the grilled artichokes served with an excellent creamy remoulade!!

“A group of friends and I had an amazing time at Denmark's Cocktail 101 class! Garry made the craft of cocktail-making fun and approachable, and had great recommendations and tips and tricks -- even for those in the group who like to think of themselves as cocktail aficionados!

Denmark is one of the best cocktail bars in Columbus, and experiencing a class here is a memorable experience! Highly recommend booking a class.“

“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.“

“Our dinner experience was overall exceptional. Matt our server had some excellent recommendations on food and wine that led to our further enjoyment and he kept close watch over us throughout our stay. Matt also remembered us from our last visit and that made us feel right at home. We had a very special and memorable evening with our OSU granddaughter.“

“I had an incredible experience thanks in no small part to the wonderful bartender, Satia. Absolutely no notes! When she heard that I wasn’t able to drink, she took it upon herself to whip up a personal mocktail for me. Great appetizer recommendations. We had the crispy rice and Brussels sprouts. Definitely would recommend and ask for Satia at the bar!“

“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.“

“Absolutely lovely staff - especially Yana and Sarah - went above and beyond to make our reading group’s movie night special. Food was wonderful, with the flatbreads a particular crowd favorite but also positive reviews of the pretzel, wings, and nachos. We will be back both as a group and individually to try more of the wonderful-sounding drinks and food!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I haven’t been to the J. Alexander’s in Worthington in a few years, and wow — they reminded me exactly why this place used to be one of my favorites.

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect. The meatballs were packed with flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and downright comforting. But the real surprise of the night?

🔥 THE STEAK ROLLS. 🔥
Easily the best appetizer on the menu — flaky, crispy, flavorful, and flat-out addictive. One bite and I knew I’d been gone from this location way too long.

The service was smooth, the atmosphere was classy but relaxed, and the food was elite from top to bottom.“

“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.“

“The best boil I’ve had so far! The garlic/cajun Kai Medium spice is chef’s kiss. Great quality and wonderful service 10/10 for me!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

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

“This establishment is family owned, with live music on the weekend, great happy hour along with very nice service. I have been a customer of the Canabar for a very long time, definitely would recommend meeting your friends there!!!“

“The best of the best. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Flipside in Easton is a great spot, especially if you’re looking for gluten-friendly options. Their truffle fries are outstanding—crispy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. The burgers are excellent as well, cooked just right and packed with flavor. And if you’re a brunch or cocktail fan, don’t skip their Bloody Mary; it’s easily one of the best around.

Highly recommend for a casual, delicious meal with something for everyone.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“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!! 🫶“
