“Incredible service, incredible food, we will be back! We shared the platter for 2 and it was an incredible mix and was perfect for our first time trying Yemeni food, we were only there a couple hours ago and ive told like 8 people to check it out.”
“Literally….one of the best, and I’ve gone to many across a lot of states. Reminds me of what we ate in the early 90s in Boston. WILL be coming back when we visit next.”
“Ivy and Jackie are my favorite bartenders. They are very friendly, quick, and extremely polite. I come back to see them. If they aren’t behind the bar, I leave!”

“We came in during a storm and were greeted with warm smiles. The hot chai hit the spot and the food warmed us up. I felt cared for as a customer, not just served. Comfort food at its finest—and excellent hospitality.”
“Family members bought food from here the other day ... Raved about it!
It's been a minute since we were on the Westside, we use to order frequently... Saving and using the coupons even.
Well, it was steamy inside however our salad and pizza were DELICIOUS!
We're glad we drove over.
We WILL return.
Nice crust, sauce has a tangy spice. Adequate pepperoni.
Thanks. Josie's PIZZA.
We like the black n white tables.”
“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!”
“This food is absolutely incredible! I recently discovered this food truck, and I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. Every dish has been a perfect 10/10, with generous portions that are more than enough to satisfy. The steak is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, and both the shrimp and salmon are cooked to perfection. I often find that my meal lasts into the next day because of how filling it is, and the prices are very reasonable. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding customer service. Marian, in particular, makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you arrive. Keep up the fantastic service and high-quality food—you’ve definitely got the Eastside covered!”

“I started working in the area about 6 months ago and I love mom and pop diners for lunch. Since I have visited Scotty's Cafe I have been eating lunch here every day (literally 5 days a week), you can't beat the atmosphere the food is amazing and the owners are definitely one of a kind. Gina and Scotty make you feel like one of the family,the staff is amazing,and you always look forward to your next visit. Definitely a 10 out of 10 every visit.”
“It was firt time, to dine Nigerian restaurant, I and my family ordered fufu with casava leaves soup, and pasta with shrimp,. The fufu was delicious but the pasta wasn't good because of cooked with coconut juice and isn't good and very watery in it. I will definitely tell the restaurant for the restaurant. That's my advice. manager to hire professional chief”

“I had an excellent sushi dinner at 698 Restaurant. Although advertised as “Asian fusion” it seems to be primarily Japanese and sushi cuisine, so keep that in mind if you dine here. The staff was very courteous, warm, and welcoming, without feeling wooden or forced. Just friendly and happy folks. The host gave me several options for seating instead of just assigning me a table, which I appreciate. The waiter was relaxed and personable while being friendly. My waiter sat down in my booth while taking my order, which is very unusual but came off as a hard working server and not a rigidly controlled employee. I started with the kani salad which was larger than I expected and full of crisp greens, tasty salad dressing, a generous heap of tempura flakes, and imitation crab tossed in Kupi Mayo. Altogether, a pleasant crispy combination of crispy and creamy flavors. My sushi rolls were fresh, tasty, well seasoned, and coated with a reasonable amount of eel sauce. An excellent combination of savory, salty, creamy, and spicy flavors. Really great sushi. There was no “fishy smell” or stale taste, something people are concerned about when eating sushi in a landlocked area like Columbus Ohio. This is 5 star sushi. I must complain about the menu: is a 12 page booklet. Simply too long, too many options, and takes too long to look through. It reminds me of the grocery store aisle with 95 different types of cereal – the dining experience would be better with a 4 page menu and 1/3 as many options. The ambiance at 698 Restaurant is very tasteful and well done: dark moody atmosphere, comfy booths throughout, orange-yellow lanterns throughout the area, dark wood frames framing each area, a well-lit bar with comfy stools, squeaky clean hardwood floors, and linens made from dark, crisp, clean cloth. I would not hesitate to return here for sushi dinner any time.”
“This restaurant was a gem. My husband and I visited and sat at the bar for some small bites. The staff was incredible and kind. They found out we were visiting Columbus to celebrate our anniversary and gifted us drinks and dessert. What a lovely and incredibly delicious meal! 5 stars ⭐️”
“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.”
“My family had the pleasure of dining at Lola & Giuseppe's last evening, and it truly was a pleasure! We began with wedding soup (some of the best I have ever tasted), a Guiseppe's Salad, and spinach-artichoke dip. Two of our group had the meat lasagna which was delicious and a huge serving. Other entrees included egg plant parmigana and chicken marsala. All were excellent, large servings, and very reasonably priced. The surprise (and a good one) was the Creme de Limocello that was bursting with lemon flavor and a nice little nip. Service was excellent and the owner stopped by to chat on two occasions thanking us for dining there. It was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we have had in quite a while. Highly recommend!”
“I never been here before but i recommend the bowls one 💯 so good i got the banana , strawberry , granola , peanut butter , and I can't remember the bottom, what was on it, but that was the best thank you guys”

“I took my husband to IHOP for Father's Day and had a wonderful experience! We brought our little grandson along, and our server was incredibly kind and patient with him (he is one), which made our visit even more special.
The food was delicious especially the pancakes and crispy hash browns. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the service was attentive from start to finish. Our server checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed.
Great food, friendly service, and a family-friendly atmosphere made for a perfect Father's Day breakfast. We'll definitely be back! 🥞”
“This team got slammed after the Buckeye Country Superfest and they rocked. The communication was so good and nobody waited long for anything. The manager, cook, and servers were all so kind and efficient despite the busy crowd. And the food was amazing, especially for being around midnight. I would definetly go here again.”
“I was nervous about trying a protein bowl from a vending machine but was surprisingly impressed with the taste and freshness. It will now be my go-to when I’m in airports and need something delicious and healthy. My choice was the high protein chicken shawarma bowl and it was so good my 5 year old even loved it.”
“It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a place where you can be yourself without feeling judged. They even have a tree made of waffles during Christmas!
Plus, we have two autistic boys, and they always show their appreciation with patience.
These places are truly better than any 5-star establishments because they have employees who consistently exceed expectations!!! WITH WHIPPED CREAM 🙌🏾”

“Please add Shakeno8 to your summer plans! We went there yesterday for the first time and it was AMAZING! The staff was extremely helpful, kind and patient with my overwhelmed kiddo. Their menu is huge and everything sounds amazing, so she couldn't decide!! They had dairy free options for my lactose intolerant family member and vegan options as well. A tray of brownies came out fresh while we were there and it might have been the best I've ever had. Everything was delicious! Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“This restaurant has the freshest, flavorful and most authentic food I have had the pleasure to enjoy. Pork Shumai, Wonton in Chili Sauce, Chicken and peppers, boiled fish filets with pickled cabbage were all phenomenal. I never had fresh and hot from the fryer crab rangoon. 100 out of 10!! Everyone was kind, friendly and gracious. I recommend that you give this establishment a try.”
“We are regulars here. The staff are friendly and hard working. Not afraid to have a conversation with you and they will make your order right without issue. They have other locations but we prefer this location based upon the employees we encounter and the food being so on point.”
“Our family traveled to Columbus from Cleveland to celebrate my son's birthday. From the moment we walked in the door, we were welcomed and treated with so much warmth and kindness. The owner was absolutely amazing to us, helping us select our meal, offering to serve us with a large platter instead of individual meals. She even gave my son birthday plantains and a gift. Did I mention that the food was delicious? We will be back. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant - the food and the people are phenomenal!”

“My husband and I stumbled upon Mjomii at the farmers market in Dublin back in 2019. We to this day, special order/make special trips just to get the macarons. We have since moved out of state and continue to get macarons here. These are hands down the best macarons I've had!”
“Every single time we have visited has been nothing less than wonderful. The environment is always welcoming, the servers are so friendly, the food is always perfection. We don’t get to visit often as it’s a bit of a drive, but are so grateful to have Portia’s when we have some extra time. Portia herself is quite an amazing person. I think she’s just a doll 🤗”

“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.”

“Delicious, affordable, and super friendly atmosphere! Yappy Greek is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices are great, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 👏🇬🇷”
“Incredible coffee. We are from an area with amazing coffee shops and roasters so our standards are pretty high. Florin knocked it out of the park with their espresso-forward lattes and sproda - not to mention their personable customer service. Our only regret is living so far away or else this would be a regular spot for us!”
“The shrimp and grits are the bomb, prices are reasonable, a big variety of choices in food. So far two thumbs up. I will try the sampler plate next time..4 items for 12$ sounds like a great deal to me!!!”
“Found this place while passing through and it was a fantastic surprise. The food is delicious, classic comfort food with really generous portions. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. A perfect hidden gem with a great local vibe!”

“My mother and I are avid Capital Grille regulars, and thanks to Travis at the bar, this experience was nothing short of exceptional! Anytime I’m in the Columbus/Dublin area, I will make sure to stop in and see him. His recommendations were spot-on and truly exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was he knowledgeable and attentive, but he also made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our visit.
Exceptional service like his is what keeps guests coming back. Thank you, Travis, for making our evening so memorable. We can’t wait to return!”
“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.”
“Walter made my mom's birthday dinner tonight at Mastro's truly unforgettable. He took exceptional care of both my mom and dad from the moment they were seated until the end of the evening. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made them feel like valued guests.
My mom had an amazing time—she absolutely loved the food, and Walter's outstanding service elevated the entire experience. He anticipated every need, made thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal. It's clear he takes great pride in providing first-class hospitality. The servers tonight were equally phenomenal as well.
Thank you, Walter and Mastro's for making my mom's birthday so special on July 4th. We truly appreciate everything you did and look forward to dining with you again!”
“Wow. First time visiting. I wish I would have come sooner. Beautiful decor, lively atmosphere, excellent server, and one of the best meals I have had in Columbus. There were 5 in our party. It was a Sunday, so all day happy hour. Appetizers were 1/2 off. We shared several types of sushi and taquitos to start. Sushi was very fresh. For mains, we got burgers, tacos, and fish sandwich. All very yummy and well-prepared. We shared insanely delicious desserts- chocolate cake - which had more of a brownie consistency but not complaining - and olive oil cake with the best flavored whipped I ever had - creamsicle. Tasted exactly like a creamsicle ice cream bar. Everything was just delicious. Our server was terrific. The only small issue was the servers were stretched a bit thin so it was a while between her visits to the table. But she was very pleasant, friendly and professional. With 1/2 off appetizers and draft beer, it was an excellent value.”
“The food is all delicious and perfectly prepared. The filet melts in your mouth. The service is great as well - not hovering but always available. This is a posh place. You'll want to wear at least chinos and a collared shirt and can be much more formal than that if you want.”

“Fantastic spot with old pub atmosphere but cleaner. Beers were out of this world, all classic German, Czech and Belgiam styles executed with finesse and skill. Our bartender Rory was a Dame and a Scholar. Finger food like nuts, pretzles and even pizzas available (Not a full kitchen) l. Just enough to get that 3rd LUKR poured lager from the hand of a specialist. I'll definitely come back again.”
“I came in to get breakfast to go . They were a little busy when I got there . I sat down and was gave silverware and offered a drink right away . I was accommodated by the regulars and Kate the waitress about what I should order since it was my first time. Regulars recommended I get a half order of French toast and half order of biscuits . Kate recommended I get the gyro since she likes it and its popular. I also ordered hash browns and scrambled eggs . I took the food home and the eggs were missing but they gave me a credit for those next time I come back . Everything tasted really good, loved the hash browns 10/10. The French toast and gravy was really good, the biscuits were a little crispy thou . Fiancé says gyro was okay but pretty dry not much meat 5/10. Will definitely be back Tuesdays threw Fridays when Kate Works !! Thanks for the great first experience. BTW this breakfast/lunch place is right next to panera !!”
“BEAUTIFUL place, EXCELLENT service, DELICIOUS food, and lovely cultural experience. We will definitely come again. The scrambled egg breakfast dish with naan and the fried lemon potatoes with spicy cilantro sauce were so good. We tried both of the traditional coffees and loved both. And we can’t wait to try the desserts we took to-go!”
“I’m not from the area but I found out about Wario’s on TikTok. I have been to Wario’s twice now. The chicken cesar cutlet is AMAZING! The spuds and chicken parm is also amazing! My husband ordered the Philly and loved it. I highly recommend Wario’s. I wish there was one closer to where we are from! We will just have to make the 3 hour trip again 😂”
“Awesome atmosphere! Service at the patio bar was exceptional. comfortable, friendly and just an all around great time.”
“I never been here before but i recommend the bowls one 💯 so good i got the banana , strawberry , granola , peanut butter , and I can't remember the bottom, what was on it, but that was the best thank you guys”

“It's a really chill vibe! Chill music and a chill atmosphere. The bartender reminded me of Tom Cruise from the movie Cocktail. Lol. I had the KoKo Malone and it was delicious! Would definitely go back there!”
“We were there March 3 & 4 ,2026 and the Filipino menu was so so good , it has a young dynamic ambience, always full everytime we were there that shows it’s really worth the wait(not too long). The service was worth coming back for , their staff really awesome, respectful and engaging! Bonifacio … it makes Filipino food reach top notch levels ! Lovelovelove”
“Update: We went back again on Friday… yep, we keep our promises 😂 Tanya took really good care of us and made the experience even better. Food was still fire, service was smooth and the vibe was still top-tier. At this point, they might as well save us a table every match day 😎”
“We had a delightful lunch today at Gallo's, from the moment entering, we were greeted by a Fine Gentleman that discussed our seating options ( Yeah, I'm a bit picky) to the time we departed with full bellies that was topped off with the Belgium Chocolate Mussee cake that was Outstanding!! Ice cold beverages and our service (Bartender) was Awesome catering to our every whim. This is definitely a MUST stop when looking for a Great place to dine!!”

“The food is amazing. Best Kenyan food ever. Polite and friendly staff. I am amazed at this place. Will keep coming back”
“Wow.. I've been to alot of reetaunts around the us, AND a lot of Cameron Mitchell restraunts.
This hidden gem in the German Village Community of Columbus is hands down the best experience I have had at any of his restraunts.
The Arugula Salad was put together with flavors that complimented each other perfectly.
HOWEVER, by far, the Gnocci Filet Tomato dish was by far the best in 48yrs of being alive... the best steak!
I mean it was to the point you couldnt eat quick enough or wait long enough to get the next.
In 48yrs that has never happened before!! Stunned.
Thinking it was over until Mairren, convinced me to try the desert.. she has already had me try the new drink that she created, a whiskey (that's my go to) spin off of an old fashioned that was spicy. Liked it, but not a spicy booze guy.
I went with a new the Chocolate dessert, I don't usually do dessert so I can't comment on it, but leading is to say it was good. Not too rich and overpowering.
Between the Service from Mairren Exceptional...and the two best dishes I think I've had maybe ever let alone at a KM restraunt.. make this the best flaovered steak and salad combo , I've ever experienced.
Ive been to a lot of places and I don't give this recommendation out ever. But this is legit the BEST restraunt in Columbus!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“The atmosphere was fantastic! The staff was absolutely wonderful! The food was beyond fantastic!!! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!”
“We ordered DoorDash for lunch on Wednesday and the butter chicken, naan, samosas, and rice were DELISH!! My co-worker and I each had enough for 2 lunches! The buy 1 get 1 deal was also awesome!!”
“best Lebanese lentil soup! I'll go out of my way to get carryout.”
“I love supporting local restaurants and the incredible talent they bring to Columbus. I did the chef’s omakase experience and it was incredible. It was the perfect way to spend the evening, and probably the highest quality fish I’ve ever had. The chefs walked us through each piece, explained where the fish came from, and taught us about what we were eating. I ended up learning a lot, which made the experience even better.
We’re really lucky to have this level of skill and passion here in Columbus. And for a fraction of what you’d pay for a similar experience in places like New York, it’s an incredible value. I’ll definitely be back.”
“Food was absolutely amazing, great priced and we will be back for sure!”
“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.”
“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!”

“I am a frequent visitor to this location for Cap City fine diner. All the employees are wonderful and super friendly. The food always comes out perfectly and if there’s ever an issue, they take care of it immediately. This dining spot has such a great variety and I need to give a shout out to a particular server. Matt is a sheer delight! Super respectful and knowledgeable about the menu.”
“It was my first time trying arepas, and I found them delicious. The place was quiet with good music playing in the background. The service was outstanding (Camila). I highly recommend this place if you stop in Columbus, Ohio.”
“Grabbed a late dinner last night. Food was outstanding (primarily the tabouli salad with beef shawarma.) Most outstanding, though, was our service. Caleb is a gem. He is so polite, charming and attentive. We really enjoyed him. Definitely will be back again very soon!”
“As a chef who has been traveling around trying new places, this is by far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the Hosts being friendly, to the flow of the servers during the rush, to the amazing service I had from app to dessert, and the staff being so kind to my girlfriend on her birthday. Will be coming back with my friends and family. Thank you
*Update: I came back a year later as now a supervisor for SoCal and it’s even better… Our Server Anders was incredible and was constantly making sure we were good, our food was fantastic, and the drinks were still on point. Could never hate you Marcellas!”
“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.”
“Beautiful atmosphere, good food, and exceptional service. We visited for our anniversary with family and kids, and Kylie was amazing—attentive, kind, and welcoming sweet. Highly recommend!”

“The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere and excellent professional service. They have a highly customizable menu that caters well to vegetarians. While the price point is slightly higher, the generous portion sizes provide good value.”
“We love coming here! They have great food, great margaritas, and the staff is wonderful. The service is very quick, but doesn't sacrifice quality meals. Great place for a family dinner or happy hour with friends. They brough back the margarita flight so you don't have to choose just one flavor to try!”
“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!”
“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!”
“The food was delicious! And the customer service was top-notch!! Cody was amazing and helped recommend drinks. I loved that he spoke highly of the team and said they could help with recommendations as well. Overall, a great experience!”
“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.”
“Had dinner tonight and it was delicious. Also the staff was exceptional. My wife has Alzheimer’s and they go out of there way to help. It’s appreciated thanks so much.”
“Boba is so soft and chewy. The taro milk was delicious, not powdery or artificial like other places I've tried. I've also tried the rose milk tea, which was lovely and fragrant”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food at Domo is excellent! Sushi is fresh and tasty, menu is creative, and the atmosphere is fun! We recently celebrated there with a big group, and everyone raved about the food and had such a great time. Staff was attentive and friendly too! So happy we chose Domo!”
“We came in during a storm and were greeted with warm smiles. The hot chai hit the spot and the food warmed us up. I felt cared for as a customer, not just served. Comfort food at its finest—and excellent hospitality.”
“Forgive my photo; I'm not a photographer! 🤣 Holy cow, this food is incredible!!! I went today for the Monday Smash Burger Special for $13.50 which included a single smash burger, a huge basket of homemade fries, and a water! The smash burger and fries were both extremely fresh and blazing hot. The smash burger was SO delicious, beefy, and cheesy, and the bun was perfection. The fries were homemade; I watched the cooks cut whole potatoes and fry them up. Everything was so mouth-watering! 10/10 for food; I will definitely visit again. I didn't get to meet Josh, but I had a really great conversation with Zay!”

“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”.”
“I found this place by accident, now I find myself there as often as I can be. This place is by far the best place for sushi and a big bowl of coconut curry ramen. Holy hell!!”
“my God mom and I had lunch here today and it was delicious. The service was friendly and professional and I'll definitely have it again at both locations.”
“I love the Chocolate Cafe. I have come here many times, most recently to surprise a friend for her birthday. I ordered a full size Lemon and Berry Marscarpone cake. She loved it!! I loved! And there was a large amount to take home and share with her family. We also enjoyed some martinis and I took home some chocolate covered strawberries. 10/10”

“Excellent fresh food and Excellent staff. Thank you Jessica for explaining everything and making it a great experience.”
“This is our happy place. When there is a special family celebration, we come here. Love walking in, as David greets us at the door every time. It’s like visiting your Nonna and Nonno’s house and seeing all of your cousins and knowing that you’re in store for the best meal ever. Look forward to a leisurely feast with good wine, warm bread and some of the best Italian dishes we’ve found. The entire staff is incredible. Be sure to make a reservation because every time we go it’s a full house.”

“I love the baristas at this Starbucks. They are kind and welcoming. This is my favorite venue. Drinks are delicious! A few of the sweet baristas are Kelsey, Daniela, Erin, Gi Gi, but 'all' of them are a joy. The manager is Dylan and he is exceptionally nice always. The baristas 'always' make my customized drink right. They seem like family. Let's be especially respectful and kind to them. Their demeanor remains the same even when they are rushed and extremely busy. It's a joy to see them.”
“My friend and I had a wonderful waitress her name is Kay she served us with a smile and served us our salads first which I don't get at most restaurants they are served with the meal, I found that I need to request they serve the salad first. She made sure that we had refills on our coffee as well didn't have to ask. We were at the restaurant 10/24/25 around 6.00 PM”
“I had a great dinner on Tuesday, 9th with St. Paul Lutheran Church group. I may have lost a gold wedding band (seated at the rear group tables, back left corner). I appreciate the extra searching done by your staff. In case it should be found, please contact me at 614 8782562. Thank for checking and plan to enjoy more dinners with you!! Marie Rehbeck”
“Loved it!! Jordan was our terrific server. So attentive. I had the best grilled salmon served medium well with garlic aoli sauce, grilled asparagus & crunchy sweet potato fries that I have ever had hands down! I highly recommend you check it out. The elegant casual atmosphere is perfect. A bit moody and so beautiful that anything goes!!”
“The establishments decor was modern. Our server was amazing. She was attentive and very friendly. My drink, sex on the beach was great! The food was under whelming. I could tell my chicken sandwhich was probably just a frozen Tyson chicken patty. The cheesesteak was over seasoned and not sure it was beef. Would definitely go back for drinks and cocktails, but would definitely pass on the food again.”
“Love this place! I ordered several large trays for an event and had the warmest family experience. I really appreciate the dedication and feel happy to support this local business. I ordered Gharaiba, Basbousas, Choc. Baklava, and Beluriah baklava. All were a HUGE hit!”
“This food is absolutely incredible! I recently discovered this food truck, and I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. Every dish has been a perfect 10/10, with generous portions that are more than enough to satisfy. The steak is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, and both the shrimp and salmon are cooked to perfection. I often find that my meal lasts into the next day because of how filling it is, and the prices are very reasonable. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding customer service. Marian, in particular, makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you arrive. Keep up the fantastic service and high-quality food—you’ve definitely got the Eastside covered!”

“Enjoyed my birthday dinner, our Chef Isaiah did a great job, food was delicious! Could have used drink refills a little more often especially with the price of drinks. It’s on the pricey end but with my birthday coupon it helped for sure. Fun special occasion dinner!”
“We really enjoyed our meals here. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, tender and great flavor. The wood fired chicken was equally good. We would've preferred the roasted vegetables be a bit more cooked. They were hot but basically still raw. The desserts that came with the 3 course meal were all tasty and generous in size. Would definitely recommend the creme brulee cheesecake... outstanding. The only thing that kept this from 5 stars is the ridiculously cold air conditioning. Our server said she'd talk to the manager about it, but nothing ever changed. The food cooled off very quickly, and we were frozen by the end of the meal.”
“I can't say enough about our incredible experience tonight at Kona Grill. I just got diagnosed with cancer, had my first chemo last Friday and finally felt well enough to get out. I've loved Kona since the first time I came in 2003 yall. So for me it's one of my favorites. Jacquelyn and Juan could not have made my first outing post chemo/newly bald more memorable. This before they knew I had just experienced a very challenging week. That aside the food was phenomenal, I had the macadamia nut chicken and holy Hannah the dessert! Made in house and absolutely incredible. I simply can't say enough. The environment, the service, the food. Worth every moment.”
“My time here was amazing! After a long day in front of customers, I came in for a good meal, but what I got was an entire experience. Oliva took care of me like we were old friends. Her drinks were on point and so were her recommendations. Espresso martinis are made with real espresso, and she packs it down before putting it through the machine. You can't leave without having the Veal meatballs, if you can do veal; the consistency is unparalleled. the Vodka Penne was not what I expected tbh, but was one of the most delish things i've ever had. It was spicy, but it was worth it! Coming here felt like coming home <3 I'll stop here anytime I'm in the Cbus area and I would love nothing more than introducing my friends to these beautiful humans”
“My son has allergies to dairy, soy, and almond and sensitive to white potatoes! It’s so hard to eat out! We are out of town and decided to try this as we ate at the one in Cincinnati before he had allergies! The manager came out. The chef told him what they could do and the waitress was made aware and did an allergy ticket for his meal! The best service and we felt the allergy was taken serious! Would highly recommend!”
“The server Nate was great for plesant service and timely on respond to service. The food was great and just as he Charleston, Sout Carolina. We celebrated Elaine in fine dining. The Vallet parking was nice for parking my F450. Try she crab soup and oyster on half shell. The Columbus Ohio restaurant is beautiful atmosphere”

“It's so wonderful to finally have a non-starbucks coffee joint in my neighborhood. Service is wonderful and Deaf friendly - one of the staff knew a little bit of the manual alphabet. I love the fact there are soft chairs and a soft couch to sit on. With fibromyalgia,it's important I sit on soft furniture. Plenty of tables with chairs to sit to read, type on a laptop, have meetings, etc. The iced latte was delicious - I wished there were more gluten-free baked goods/meals. Plenty of natural light from large windows. FREE parking across the street.”
“I love supporting local restaurants and the incredible talent they bring to Columbus. I did the chef’s omakase experience and it was incredible. It was the perfect way to spend the evening, and probably the highest quality fish I’ve ever had. The chefs walked us through each piece, explained where the fish came from, and taught us about what we were eating. I ended up learning a lot, which made the experience even better.
We’re really lucky to have this level of skill and passion here in Columbus. And for a fraction of what you’d pay for a similar experience in places like New York, it’s an incredible value. I’ll definitely be back.”
“This bar has the vibe you are looking for and the best drinks on tap. With a full bar, variety of entertainment shows and craftinh experimences, you can experience everything you ever wanted inside a bar. The bar owners are some of the best people that I have met and carefully planned the space to be welcoming and inviting for all people. Don't miss their daily food trucks and drag brunch shows!”
“I strayed from my usual Cortado during this brutal heatwave to enjoy an espresso tonic. This underordered and simple drink was made great here with great portion of tonic water to add a sweetness to the hearty espresso flavor. There was not too much ice so the flavor stayed and hardly shifted as the espresso and tonic mixed in portions as the drink went on. Am looking forward to trying a Cortado and a house lemonade from the truck!”
