“Best steak ever! Best chef in Columbus! Chef Maxwell.”
“Kristinna was wonderful.Food is excellent. There was a lot of people at the restaurant and it was loud, which was great.Parking: Lots of people hanging out in the parking lot. Not leaving just hanging out. Leaving it difficult to get in and out.”
“Our waiter Dylan was amazing the food was spectacular! The pork schnitzel was enough to feed two. . Great prices and terrific atmosphere! We look forward to coming again”

“We had a great time, Grant was fantastic, social, and very helpful with how the games worked and tips on how to get the axe to stickKid-friendliness: There’s smaller axes for smaller people/kids”
“Met my friend here for coffee. It's small but cute and airy and the baristas are eager to answer any questions. They even gave us a sample of the bubble tea to try which is SO good btw. They have the cutest mugs I've ever seen by the register. Definitely hit this spot up instead of a chain”
“We first visited with the Alt Eats Food Tour through Columbus Food Adventures and it stole the show. We keep coming back for more and continue to recommend that everyone else do the same. The food and service are fabulous! We've loved everything that we've ordered and the hummus specifically is the best in town!”
“Very cool environment to grab a coffee and enjoy a delicious pastry right in the heart of downtown. All of the staff had wonderful attitudes and genuinely seemed to care about making everyone's experience amazing.”

“I've been enjoying their macrons since I found them at thr Dublin Farmers Market. there are so many wonderful words to describe the experience ❤️ I highly recommend the tea, or strawberry milk with a yuzu macron. the coconut chocolate is one of my favorites.”

“I had high expectations coming here and they were exceeded. Very flavorful! Too many restaurants are cautious about flavor but Comune really goes for it. This does mean you may be better off going with a group comfortable sharing so if something is too sour, spicy, etc., someone else at your table will like it if you don't. Some subtle flavors here are impressive too! Everything is medium sized (kind of like proper Spanish tapas) which is really fun--esp for sharing. Beware the servers may recommend ordering A LOT of food. If you are drinking, three choices for two should be plenty to start and likely enough total--then order 1-2 more only if you are still hungry. Tables can be small so they can't serve you more than 1-2 dishes at a time anyway. If you cook veg food at home there are so many ideas to play with from here. I'm going to try to make quick carrot pickles, cook with crispy rice, and celeriac at home in the coming months now too. Sometimes I'll only discover 1-2 techniques or dishes I want to make at home PER YEAR eating out so to be inspired by three different things in a single meal is wonderful. I almost never go places that can cost $50-$75 per person but this is absolutely worth it. So so good!”
“Amazing service for our wedding and the cake was amazing! Exactly what we would have hoped for. Thank you so much for making our special day so easy!! Guests loved the cupcakes!!”

“We went on a tour here to learn about how they make their spirits. The tour was great, and our guide Maggie was very informative while being casual and easy to talk to. I would love to go back and meet their spirit master Adam. Prices are average compared to other places in Columbus. Vodka and gin are very affordable without tasting cheap. Only negative is there isn’t much parking. Overall I am more than satisfied with my experience here. Can’t wait for the bourbon to be released!!”
“The menu was all tempting, then the guys were all so friendly and the food was amazing. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone to try. They have a little bit for everyone’s diet preferences”
“I love the food here. But I’m getting really tired of being told there are no available booths when it’s obvious there are.”
“phenomenal food. great atmosphere”

“wonderful place and even better folks that work and run the place. Very thankful of the way they helped my wife and I..”
“I don't understand why the dj gives up after the caberaet show. It's like they're trying to drive out the crowd so they can pack up early and still get paid a full night. I'm going to assume complacency from being the resident without competition for to many years. Both friday and Saturdays dj's are guilty of this. Ivan (RDJr), I'm told you read comments, pay attention. Your bartenders and VIP hostesses are suffering because of this. Everything else is absolutely amazing. Hate to see Michelle go. Best spot in Columbus period overall. Fix this and get a full nights revenue from that liquor license I'm sure isn't cheap.”
“Lomo Saltado at Cilantro is the most authentic Peruvian version in Columbus! Keep going back for this and other dishes, excelente sazón!”
“Dined on the gorgeous patio to celebrate a birthday. Shared 5 courses, tried 2 wines and everything was flawless, including the breads they brought to the table. Service was friendly and attentive; the place appears quite well staffed. Overall, would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing in all aspects. My family and I will most certainly be back. It was worth the hour drive for a lovely Sunday dinner and Taylor F did an amazing job and needs to be recognized for her amazing work. Thank you!!!!”

“Absolutely delicious. We tried the 45’s, the jalapeños, and the regulars, and they all were spectacular. What’s great about really good NATURAL food is that you notice the absence of processing and junk. It tastes better in every way. You’ll notice these are not your average dogs right away. My recommendation is to order two of each, just do it, because you’ll be sad when you run out!”
“Grease, butter, salt, cheese, meat, and crunch...what more could you ask for out of artery clogging goodness with the walls of this iconic restaurant chain. I usually get mines to go and they hit you with up charges for to go containers etc but so what, the buttery unctuous tasty gooeyness makes up for the costs! Great customer service and their speed is unmatched. Every blue moon I'll eat in but definitely not during peak hours like noon ish or a weekend morning.”
“Haven't been to a Waffle House in 25 years! Treated my 88yr young Dad to a good time, great food and exceptional empty coffee cups skills! Not much has changed...except that pay, for central Ohio? even better. $26+/hr?? SALUTE. I'm seriously considering going back to my roots, and applying!”
“The service was absolutely fantastic at this location. The food was out prompt and accurate.Parking: There were more than enough parking spots and the parking was free.”
“Great servers, great food! I'm treated very well by all the staff, even the cooks. I have always been completely happy with the quality of my meals. 5 stars, all the way! ☆☆☆☆☆”
“Appt @ noon, was a little clustered when I got here, trucks in the way waiting on doors, I was on the rdp side, easy backing, friendly unloaders, didn't take very long offloading, overall a good experience.”
“There were a couple of drunk girls there but the staff member Cassie handled them so well and she was such a sweetheart the food was fantastic as always will be going back ”
“I work 3rd shift close to this location so I visit frequently for their bacon egg and cheese on toast which is somehow so delicious. But the gentleman who runs that shift is definitely an asset to that store and just deserves a shout out. Nothing but professional everytime I go!”
“I mean, it's a White Castle, so atmosphere? But the crew was so friendly and engaging and accommodating, and the food was great in a way that only White Castle can be.”
“Who came first, Krystal or White Castle? I had the little burger with caramelized onions and it was really good (hold the lettuce next time), onion petals and large chocolate shake. That shake was H-U-G-E! and worth every penny.”
“The service was a little slow, but that certainly wasn't the fault of staff. They were very short handed, and let us know as soon as we walked in that they had 65 sliders before they could even start our order. They were very friendly and made everything as quickly as they could.Would definitely recommend and will do our best to go back (we're not from the local area).”
“Fast service and food that never disappoints! This location has great vibes, their crew is having a good time which makes you have a good time!! Plus the order accuracy here is amazing.”
“If you like iHop, this one is great. We went in this morning around 6:30am. Our server (whose name I can't remember) was very helpful. The sandwich I ordered (the California something melt?) was surprisingly delicious. I loved it so much I sent compliments to the cook. My husband inhaled his chicken fried steak. All in all, our best iHop experience to date.”
“A wonderful date night experience with attentive service, large portions and delicious food.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Fantastic! We had an entry in the PRIDE Parade and wound up staged by Tasty Dawg. What a beautiful showing of support! Many of our group decided to also get food while we waited and it was, indeed, Tasty! Thank you!”
“I visited Westside Slice for the first time on Sunday. I ordered the chicken, spinach, sundried tomato, with a white garlic sauce and feta cheese. It was Heavenly❤️❣️. In addition, I had the wings with a spicy Chipotle dry rub. Oh, my God, these wings are in my opinion quite Heavenly!! They were flavorful, crispy, and done to the bone. The people working there were so friendly and treated me very special. This is going to be my pizza stop from now on. Although I live North, and they are located out West, it is absolutely worth the drive!!”
“Cool, casual, basic Mediterranean spot, where you order at the counter. My husband frequents this place quite often and he is quite a fan. I think it is okay, nothing extraordinary. The hummus came with pita and salad. The salad was fresh and refreshing. The hummus was good however, the pita was not quite great- It wasn’t terrible either ( you can give it a benefit of doubt because I consider myself quite snob and picky when it comes to pita). The chicken. Shawarma platter came with rice. The yellow rice was flavorful and the chicken was dry and very basic. My husband ordered lamb shacks- which was okay too ( although the lambs were too smelly; I mean the usual nutty/ funky lamb smell). The portion was huge, I had to take stuff back in home and ate the left over in the next day lunch.”
“So many good options here! My definitely not vegan husband loves it as well.”
“I love their sushi and drinks. I was a often client before they moved to the new location.”
“The Food is soooo good at Habibi Grill! We frequent them regularly and love the excellent Lebanese food. They always exceed expectations and the food never disappoints. Delicious!”
“it is a place where they use raw/fresh food or use no soy in there food and gluten free items”
“You are always so kind and your food is delicious. But I have to tell you this Valentines special was off the charts. So good! Thank you!”
“This place is amazing and the staff is so sweetThe Cajun pasta & their sauces (not together)Mmmm chefs kissI don't even like fries but I got fries there at least every other week for months just to have their sauces .. and I’m usually not a sauce person either lol”
“Sunday buffet is awesome. Too many kids running around though.”
“My husband brought me one peanut butter cookie on his break and I went back to the bearded baker for six more, not even an hour later . It was the only thing on my mind . Excellent flavors and super soft cookie that’s the perfect size .”
“Waitress was excellent, the food was delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich and hash browns. The food was prepared as ordered. All around superb experience. Will definitely be going back!”
“We loved all the pastries we tried as well as the coffee! The staff were super accommodating so I could get the extra space for the milk. The chocolate pastry was exceptional and the barista recommended it, so good call!”
“Stopped in for a drink and to check out the place! Definitely will be back! Music was amazing, staff were friendly, and the drinks were amazing!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Run, don't walk to this restaurant. Absolutely delicious! We visited during COVID and picked up through the drive through, which is still available, but this time we decided to visit. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. It did get fairly busy on Sunday afternoon so a reservation may be helpful. They have a nice selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks but we just opted for a couple beers on draft. We ended up ordering the chicken and rice noodles, pork lumpia and the bbq chicken skewer. Everything was so good! The rice noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavoring on the bbq chicken was amazing. We also tried the halo halo dessert which also did not disappoint. Great service and wonderful food!”
“I only discovered this place recently and I am obsessed! The food is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The Spicy Chicken Saqaar with Jollof Rice with the Fantastic Sauce is my favorite!! Their Nafako and Beef San us are my favorite sides. definitely try them out!”
“Was on a road trip and found this Yemeni restaurant! Food was big portions and service was good. The amount of food can feed alot of people lol. Our favorite was the lamb hanith and I love the tea very good flavors and soft and moist meat. The soup came with the order free which was nice and kept us warm in the weather alhamdulilah it was good. Enjoyed it.”
“first time in, and the lovely woman who helped me pick my salad and toppings was so kind and patient! the young man who chased me out was giving genuine and kind vibes. will definitely be back!”
“If you're craving some good comfort, flavorful, and delicious food! There's plenty of parking and some seating inside but most people seem to take food to go.Get the dinner house combo, you get so much! You get shrimp, beef, chicken, two veggie sides, and 2 sauces. Their other combos are good as well, you can't go wrong. Their ginger sauce is a really good balance to the buttery hardy entree and their spicy yum yum is good as well. One dinner entree order lasts me two meals and only for $17. The food is good, fresh, and flavorful.I also like getting their wings, they usually have their special of $1 wings if you buy a minimum of 5, or the regular 3 wings for $5. And you don't just get the drum or flat, you get both, which is usually getting 10 wings at other places. You're getting 10 wings for $5! I recommend their sriracha honey sauce, it is spicy and sweet, and so good. You can't beat the deal!They also offer lunch all day, so you can get the half size which is more than enough for one meal. They also have sides and appetizers like egg rolls and crab rangoons that you can get.I recommend for good food and quick service! They'll treat you really well and take care of you here.”
“Double Happy has the best ice cream in Columbus. lovely owners. Definitely worth it.”
“Very friendly staff. We’re regulars there and they always treat us like family! I would recommend this place to anyone, especially this specific location!”
“The girl at drive thru was friendly enough. For a take out at this time we were not given salt, napkins and ordered asked a diet and got a regular.”
“Been here now twice staff is friendly attentive helpful prices are very reasonable for what you get everything we got was fresh and tasted delicious ? The coffee toffee ice cream I got was very good overall highly recommend this location.”
“This drive thru restaurant is awesome. I ordered fish sandwich and fries and wow!! So good. Go get ya some :-)”
“I was so excited to eat my original cheese coney, I engulfed them and didn't get any pics!!! Just know there's 2 packet of their awesome hotsauce on each coney.Vegetarian options: My cousin gets their vegetarian menu every visit.Dietary restrictions: These coneys made my cheat day from gluten free more than worth it.Parking: Handicap parking appropriately marked with numerous spaces.Kid-friendliness: Every Skyline takes me back to my fondest childhood family memories eating in the 513!!! It's family owned and always kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and wheelchair accessible building.”
“omg i love love love love love love this food truck. best food truck ever. whenever i can afford it tbats my spot to eat from. the food is fresh and taste really great. ive been going here for almost 2 1/2 years and i keep going back lol. i also really enjoy how in the summer you can enjoy the food outside and enjoy the culture. it feels like home to me thats why i keep going back. i also love that he helps me say the food in español. im actually in the process of learning español too. so a tip is differently worth it. marco is really nice and he make sure that he gives you the best customer experience even though, he only speaks little english, he still understands everything. tonight he taught me how to order my usual so next time we will be speaking back and forth until i fully learn español. im a hands on type of gal. thank you marco”

Fine Dining
“Beautiful time! It felt good to be out again. It’s been a while!”
“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.”
“spacious rooms, nice shower, neat and clean hotel and all right in the middle of tons of shopping.”
“We were very impressed with both the food and the service. Will definitely return when we are in Columbus!”
“It was Burger Week and this was the only place I went to this year. The burger was excellent and included fries. The manager, Kalvin, (hope that's correct) was a really nice young man and visited our table twice. Our server, Bridget, was very helpful and did an excellent job of navigating as by the time we left it was very crowded. They do an excellent late night business.”
“I called with less than a week notice needing a birthday cake last minute for ours sons Mario themed birthday. They were able to not only accommodate the order, but the cake was beautiful and just like the photos I had sent. On top of that it tasted amazing - the cake was super moist and icing was delicious. This was our first order, but will be our go to for party cakes going forward. Thank you!”
“Super fun peeps, dance music all night long. Loved the atmosphere.”
“There was a long line but I was in and out in 15 minuets. Great experience!!!”
“Had such a fun time with the hubby here! Fun atmosphere, the girls were so pretty and had some amazing tricks! I loved Lexi, she was sooo gorgeous & nice! I loved the dancer who asked if it was okay to touch my hubby, even tho of course I didn't care. It was very considerate! Hubby paid 10 for his entry fee but mine was free so that was a nice surprise. Would give a 5 star if they had some more drink selections! For our first all nude experience I was Definitely nervous but it was a great time ?”
“Food was good it wasn't busy so there was only like one other family there was like we had the place to ourselves the only thing the service wasn't terrible it's just they weren't very knowledgeable about like how to do certain things like with their e-tickets and but other than that like they were friendly they weren't rude or anything like that”
“Great cocktails and fantastic food. We didn’t have anything that we wouldn’t order again. This is a solid little steakhouse!Parking: Parking was not an issue at 7:00 on a Friday”
“A very good restaurant with tasty food!!! A lovely touch of Palestinian ambience, great service, good taste and variety of options to try from. This was previously known as Mr. Hummus Grill but the new brother who restarted this restaurant took away the alcohol counter which makes it very welcoming and comfortable. Masha Allah”
“Went to the North Market location. Delicious dumplings and an wonderful sauce. They also have a spicy sauce but it's pretty spicy! I got the chicken and they were pretty great. Chicken can be a little dry so the sauce was a nice addition. The pork was wonderfully moist. I wish I had tried the vegetable options. Next time. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”
Cheap Eats
“What an incredible find! The owner gave us such a great experience and had us sample the homemade blue corn tortilla as we were waiting for our food, so authentic, the salsas are incredible. We talked for a while from where he’s from and telling us about his inspiration for the food he makes. Thank you!! We will be back”

“My friend and I traveled from Mansfield, Ohio to go the Titanic The Artifact Exhibition and we stopped to try the New BBQ Pastrami and we were both impressed. Clint, Kyle, and the entire Hoggy’s team are very friendly. I highly recommend going to Hoggy’s if you haven’t. We will definitely be back next time we are in Columbus.”
“Phenomenal flavor, super fresh bread! Has to be the best sandwich that I have had in ages!”
“Dear Schmidt's management, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for Trey, the manager of your restaurant. I have been a regular customer of Schmidt's for many years, and I have always been impressed with the level of service and hospitality that I have received. Trey is a big part of that. Trey is always friendly and welcoming, and he goes above and beyond to make sure that my experience is a positive one. He is always quick to recommend dishes that I might enjoy, and he is always happy to answer any questions that I have. He also has a great sense of humor, and he always makes me feel like I am part of the Schmidt's family. I have seen Trey in action on many occasions, and I am always impressed with his ability to manage the restaurant smoothly and efficiently. He is always calm and collected, even when things are busy. He is also a great team player, and he always makes sure that his staff is happy and productive. I am confident that Trey is a valuable asset to Schmidt's, and I highly recommend him for any management position. He is a hard worker, he is dedicated to his job, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that his customers are happy. Sincerely, George & Terri Ogden”

“Surprisingly large drive through menu for what feels like a home cooked meal!! Highly recommend. Simple but excellent BLT, generous bacon, fries were delicious. Excited to try other items.”

“What’s not to like at Tommy’s Diner? Always friendly service, a varied menu and daily specials, simply just good food from a finer. I love this place and I go whenever I can with my kids(who also love eating there). Breakfast and lunch open until 2:30pm. On West Broad just west of downtown.”
“Everything ❤️the cheesecake is better than Cheesecake Factory”
“Food is great and full of flavor. Owner is really friendly.”
“Best pastries in Columbus! You want laminations, Dan get 'em for days... If ya know, ya know. Gotta have the corn flake cookie, cruffins are unreal.... Really, nothing sucks. I think Dan sold his soul.”
“Since adopting a plant based lifestyle, I quickly learned that authentic dining options were limited to impossible burgers and cauliflower wings...until I discovered Nile Vegan!! On most days, this is a One-Man operation! He offers impeccable customer service and takes time to educate his guests so they get the most out of the entire dining experience! All of the stews are perfectly prepared and tantalizing to the taste buds! This is truly a hidden gem right in our backyard!”
“First Time It didn't disappoint we definitely will be back . I found out about the place on Instagram the pictures were on point and the Drinks as well as the food was outstanding .”
“Great place. Definitely one of my top five favorites”

“Can I just sit here for a moment in silence and remember how great this place is and how Columbus is a better place just for its existence? I’ve been here several times. The food is terrific. That eggplant parmesan could have a poem written about it. You can’t beat the ambience. I can’t think of a more romantic and beautiful patio in town. Most of the more high end restaurants in Columbus leave me disappointed. This restaurant is the opposite. It blows me away.”
“Amazing experience every time we visit with wonderful pairings of food and beverages!”
“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.”
“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.”
“Beautiful time! It felt good to be out again. It’s been a while!”
“Best italian food I’ve had in the states- if we lived in town this would be my new go-to! Visited for anniversary dinner and everything was perfect- food, service and atmosphere”
“Ate here today for the first time. Don’t miss the Bendi Soup. The food, environment and staff were excellent! We will definitely be back.”
“My favorite restaurant by far I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. I could rave all day about their amazing options and meals that have blown my mind as I’ve been many times. To keep it simple I highly recommend the Ravioli Quadratini (favorite restaurant meal ever), Chicken Marsala, and Italian Sausage.”
“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.”
“The restaurant doesn't put everything that's in the dishes on the menu. I'm not suppose to have corn and the salad I ordered has it even though it's not listed on the menu. The server said that's the case with several items on the menu.”
“Went to the Blu Note for the first time for my birthday in August. One of the waitresses was being trained by another waitress so we had two waitresses waiting on us (: and they did a great job!!! The live music was lively and the food was excellent , lamb chops were off the chain and the chicken wings were seasoned just right! They gave me complimentary New York Style Cheese Cake for my birthday as well ! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression “I’ll be back”.”
“Such a great experience! Everything was fantastic, from the wine to the food to the service. Very nice space, small but comfortable. Busy & lively atmosphere, but not so loud that we weren't able to have a conversation. We loved the 3 & 4 course dinners and being able to try so many different things. Will definitely be back!”
“I decided to try Hoyo’s today at Bubbly Hall and it was fantastic. I had chicken, rice, spinach, and lentils. Very good portion size. The chicken was cooked perfectly. My 1 1/2 yr old grandson loved the chicken and rice. I will definitely be coming back!”
“The COBOWL is hands down one of the best places to eat in town! Her food is ALWAYS fresh, flavorful and filling! I’ve never been disappointed in all my many experiences I’ve had with her food. Best Liberian cuisine in the city!”
“We rented the party room for my brother’s 50th birthday party. I highly recommend Flint Station party room! The decor was amazing. There was a ton of space and lots of things to do. The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were great! Worth every penny!”
“The tour was amazing! Staff were very friendly & the drinks were good as well :). located at 1025 W. 3rd Avenue in Grandview on the corner of Parkway North-parking!”

“We chose to hire Seventh Son's sunroom for our wedding. Best decision ever. Monica was a delight to work with and everything was so relaxed and easy from day one. Our wedding day was perfect. The space looked amazing, the drinks were fabulous and the bar staff were simply outstanding.Highly recommend this place for events, or even just a great, chilled location for a beer if you're in the area.”
“The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!”
“It was more fine dining than I was expecting which means service was paced a little slower and was top notch! The menu had a great mix of authentic and trendy choices. We shared everything we ordered because the food was an experience we all wanted to share.There's something for all ages and pallets on the menu!”
“Some of the best Indian cuisine we’ve ever tried. Everyone in my party was extremely impressed.”

“I ordered a gift card as a birthday present and there was a mix up (my end) in which they went over and above to correct for me. We don't live in Columbus but I can certainly see why my kids LOVE LawBird and their staff. We'll certainly make it a point to stop in on our next visit down.”
“the atmosphere is nice they have several locations and the staff is always friendly”
“Best egg roll ever! Great drinks and food!”
“I find it super popular whenever i’ve went. The wait can be a bit long depending on when you go, but it’s definitely worth it. The servers are amazing and super friendly. Fast service as well! the food here is great and it’s amazing for the price! I’ve done both the Bbq and hotpot, and i definitely recommend it! been here twice and will definitely be coming again!”
“Everything about Aladdin’s is great! I’ve been coming here for years. This was my boyfriend’s first “dine in” experience. I’ve brought food home to him before. Have always loved this place!”
“My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! This is where we went on our first date! When we first arrived, I felt like the vibe was off like the hostesses were not super friendly like just okay so my expectations were low. We get sat and our server was immediately attentive and asked us if we were there for a special occasion. I told her we were celebrating our one year and she was so happy for us. She ended up bringing us a happy anniversary card which was so sweet and thoughtful. Everything we ordered was great and delicious but the real star was our server, Ali Henderson! I'm not sure if I've ever had a nicer server before. She was awesome!”
“Great place to take my wife to on Mother's Day this year. The curated brunch menu was fantastic and the service was phenomenal. I would recommend it to anyone.Kid-friendliness: It's fairly kid friendly actually!”
“Went for a weekend breakfast, food was great! The truffle eggs are a must try. It's a flavor and texture bomb! Steak and potatoes were okay. I feel like the steak needs a sauce or something. Easy eggs with it doesn't cut it. Server was friendly and attentive. 4 stars for service because food took longer than expected. When we arrive at 9:15am, there were not a lot of people but we still waited a bit for our food. Could be better.”
“This has become one of my favorite restaurants food is always delicious and service is always top tier. Our waiter was wonderful he engaged with us, also kept checking in on us to make sure everything was up to standard. I had a reservation for 7:45 p.m, but I made a call and they were able to get me in at 7:15 p.m which was great due to them being really busy due to prom season. I wish they would bring back the little crossiant that came with the salad they were really good but thanks again for a wonderful dinner for me and my family.”
“Made a reservation, but think we would have been ok without one. They had the front windows open which made for a lovely, inviting atmosphere. Our server was nice, friendly, and welcoming. We enjoyed several happy hour items (Arch City Burger, Gerber Chicken sandwich (non-happy hour items), southwest egg rolls, and hummus platter (happy hour items). I went at 5 on a Thursday. Definitely want to visit again.”
“My partner and I shared a salad, two tapas, and the steak; it was all absolutely amazing and we left completely stuffed. The service was great and the timing of courses was spot on. Oh and the gelato is really good too!”
“Super cool and intimate cocktail bar in the middle of downtown. Could see myself here at a happy hour after work if I live nearby. Took a friend who is from out of town here and he really enjoyed it. Love the quirky cocktail names as well.”
“If you haven't been yet, go! Every item we ordered was exceptional. The meat is flavorful and tender, perfectly cooked. The menu has an array of options that are carefully crafted, visually appealing, and full of flavor. The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is great as well, with an open kitchen concept. You can see the wood grill and, wow, is it awesome! Definitely will go again.”
“Great staff and beer selection. Lovely local art is showcased throughout and there are several pinball machines to enjoy (bring your dollars!) Dogs welcome!”
“Been coming here since they opened over 20 years ago. But the last 2 times I was was disappointed on how we were seated. Both time we were taken to our seats and both times no one came to serve us. I had to go back to front desk and still no one came to wait on us. Server Liv saw me sitting there and not being helped and waited on us even though it wasn't her table. The front desk seems to be confused lately.”
“This restaurant is amazing ?. I visited from Texas and I was here throughout My stay in Ohio. If I could rate it 1000/10 stars I will. And the owner Dreyelese is so bubbly and friendly.”
“Overall great experience and food. Menu was very similar to Hudson 29 (another Cam Mitchell spot) which is very good but it would have been nice to see a little more differentiation. Prices seemed a little elevated for burgers, etc. ($16-$19) but it may just be the new norm these days. Environment was very open and bright - the large front windows being open really brightened the whole space... Would still recommend this as a good spot for good food.”
“Second time grabbing takeout from this establishment while in town visiting my Dad nearby, absolutely loved every bite. Delicious food, warm, friendly service. Highly recommend!”
“The sushi is amazing! We order plenty of sushi and other dishes. The fish is so fresh! High quality sushi!”
“Vegetarian review! I appreciate how many options there are. The servers and chefs were very conscientious of vegetarianism and even mentioned to me that they are making sure there's no cross contamination. Our server, Bella, was super friendly and answered all of our questions. My gluten free friend also had options, and Bella made sure to double check the allergens for him.The Thai tea and chai hojicha bubble teas (non spiked) are good, but the boba is dense and unpleasant to eat. My friends' drinks, the Iron Fist and One Bad Apple were really delicious.The mushroom dumplings were very yummy. It's a soft filling instead of chopped mushrooms, with a sauce.The vegetarian ramen was decent, the broth is bland but there's a spicy soy sauce on the table to add. Don't get the add on tofu, it's just two small cubes of unseasoned tofu. I added on an egg which was pretty good. Kind of expensive, I wish it came with more toppings for what it was.My meat-eater friends were very happy with their food, so I think it's a good option for mixed diet groups. There wasn't a wait on a Saturday night which was nice. My meat-eater partner said her spicy miso ramen wasn't very spicy, for anyone curious.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian ramen, vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian baoDietary restrictions: Gluten free pho available, allergies well-accommodated”
“Food and service were so great. We were so welcome and weren’t rushed at all.The mocktails were delicious and complex. The burrata was delicious. The sausage ragu pasta was incredibly flavorful (also the portion was generous).The bomboloni dessert was outstanding — orange dark chocolate with hazelnuts!!I would definitely come back here.”
“We had a totally enjoyable experience celebrating our anniversary. The entrees had a delicious variety of flavors with seafood that was prepared just right. We enjoyed the patio in a garden setting on a mild evening, and the service was friendly and paid more attention to details than is common.”
“Ordered the medallion meal. The meat was all fat and gristle.”
“We got carryout from Gallo’s on High last weekend and were SO happy with our meals. We split an appetizer that was on special that was flavorful and unique, my husband got the scallops and risotto - it was a generous size and delicious, and I got the black and bleu salad special, very good as well. Can’t wait until we’re ready to eat at restaurants again, this will be our first stop (my husband picked up our food and said the dining room was beautiful, everyone very nice, and had a great atmosphere). In the meantime, we’re getting carryout again this weekend...can’t wait to try the French Onion. Such a great addition to Clintonville!”
“Yall give Trinity a raise! We have been several times to the new location and she is easily the best server we have had. She was attentive even though she was busy. Even when she didn't stop at the table I could see her looking to check on our table. she was freindly,prompt and kept the drinks full which is hard to do when you are so busy! She was super quick to handle a hair in the appetizer and replaced it immediately. As always we will be back and hopefully get Trinity again! Great food,Great drinks and now Great service!!!!”
“If there’s a better restaurant in Columbus, I’m not aware of it. Highly recommend, never disappoints!”
“They were so accommodating when we reached out about hosting a larger party. We got great service, the food was good, and we all had a great time. Large, easy parking lot, lots of space inside, a large patio, and the entire staff was just fantastic.”
“The food is always delicious!! The service is certainly not up to the standard of Mr. Mitchell but the quality of the food and the reasonable price do help compensate! It would also be nice if this page were updated when they are actually not open”
“great beer selection, laid back vibe, and outstanding service. we will definitely be back”
“This place is awesome! The food is excellent and the servers are great”
“We were very impressed. Their Gluten free options were amazingly delicious, they took it seriously and everything was fresh, seasoned to perfection, and we will be going back. The portions were large, the presentation was immaculate, the wine and cocktail list was the stuff of dreams and legends. The restaurant was cozy and comfortable in a sexy Italian style. It could have come to life off the page of Conde Nast Traveler. Hidden jewel of Ohio worthy of the drive. The staff was professional and very welcoming. We loved it!”
“Tasty foods and friendly , knowledgeable servers.”
“amaZiinnnggg seafood!!! Maurice was our server! a really fresh boil with great spices! Definitely recommend.”

“A very good restaurant with tasty food!!! A lovely touch of Palestinian ambience, great service, good taste and variety of options to try from. This was previously known as Mr. Hummus Grill but the new brother who restarted this restaurant took away the alcohol counter which makes it very welcoming and comfortable. Masha Allah”

“Our food was EXCELLENT. We had a good chef and an okay server. The server forgot to turn our grill on so we had to wait an extra 15 minutes before the chef could get started. Also our meals came with dessert which she forgot about, cashed us out and gave out boxes and we had to remind her of our desert. It was busy so I get it but hoped for better.”
“The food was great across the board appetizer, soup, salad, entree to dessert. Our wait staff was excellent and attentive to our tables needs. The drinks were delicious too!!! First time we've been here and won't be our last.”

“Dear Schmidt's management, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for Trey, the manager of your restaurant. I have been a regular customer of Schmidt's for many years, and I have always been impressed with the level of service and hospitality that I have received. Trey is a big part of that. Trey is always friendly and welcoming, and he goes above and beyond to make sure that my experience is a positive one. He is always quick to recommend dishes that I might enjoy, and he is always happy to answer any questions that I have. He also has a great sense of humor, and he always makes me feel like I am part of the Schmidt's family. I have seen Trey in action on many occasions, and I am always impressed with his ability to manage the restaurant smoothly and efficiently. He is always calm and collected, even when things are busy. He is also a great team player, and he always makes sure that his staff is happy and productive. I am confident that Trey is a valuable asset to Schmidt's, and I highly recommend him for any management position. He is a hard worker, he is dedicated to his job, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that his customers are happy. Sincerely, George & Terri Ogden”

“Great cocktails and fantastic food. We didn’t have anything that we wouldn’t order again. This is a solid little steakhouse!Parking: Parking was not an issue at 7:00 on a Friday”
“Everything we had was AMAZING!!! You gotta try it for yourself.”
“Enjoy the food and service. Kevin is always friendly and knows how to make you forget abut the stressful day you just had,”
“My family and I took my mother and father here for lunch. Atmosphere wise it was so painfully cold in there. We thought maybe it was so patrons would not hang around in the tables would change quickly. That's how cold it was that we debated as to why it was. As far as the food it was okay My mother truly enjoyed her sea bass. My husband did not enjoy the lobster bisque. My brother and sister-in-law loved their salmon. I had a giant salad cob I believe with crab and lobster and it was amazing. They give you warm bread sourdough I believe it was unbelievably great. The final consensus of our table was we may have enjoyed our food better had we been able to relax and enjoy the atmosphere because it is truly pretty in there.”
“We enjoyed our dinner at True Kitchen. But missed the chopped salad as an option. The Strawberry salad was good - but chopped better. Also, still would prefer some multi-grain or whole wheat pizzas, pastas, and pita option. The Sour dough pizza was a little heavy. The red wine prices were way too high - 52 is crazy for Columbus Ohio this is not NYC, casual restaurant for sure! Service was very good - nice waitress.”
“Had the chance to grab lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon which is nice because they are not busy at all. I like that there is a revolving sushi in Columbus but I have been to couple of them and it’s ok. Service was good, friendly staff, food is good too.”

“Me and my boyfriend decided to try this new place that opened up and they had a lot of variety options! We usually go to smoothie king but something about this place just has more. The moment we walked in we were greeted by an associate with a smile. There was another associate there who asked how we were and told us that we could try samples as many as we want. My boyfriend got the PB everbowl but instead of açaí as his base he changed it to coco love. I ordered pina coolada and switched out the kiwi for bananas. For this to be a new place it's more than just a 5/5 it's giving 10/10. I would recommend this. I also attach the menu :)”

She was super friendly from the start, offered flavors to sample, and topped our scoops with cute little sprinkle eyes. This is their new location from Sandusky and I wish them success here, the ice cream was top-notch.”
