- OTOpenTable DinerColumbus •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe lamb chops were the star of the meal. Cooked to perfection, they were beautifully seared on the outside, creating a delightful crust that locked in the juices. Each bite was tender and succulent, with a rich flavor that was enhanced by a delicate blend of spices. The seasoning was spot on, allowing the natural flavor of the lamb to shine while adding just the right amount of warmth and depth. The presentation was equally impressive, with the chops elegantly arranged on the plate, garnished with fresh herbs that added a pop of color.More infoThe Guild House - ColumbusPrice: Expensive• American• Columbus•4.8
- AAndrewCoastal North Carolina •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had an incredible experience at Hyde Park Steakhouse in the Short North. ANDREW was awesome and provided great wine pairings and food recommendations. I highly recommend the Graham Rahal Steak or Steak Tressel, Potato Gruyère Gratin, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Lobster Bisque, and the Carrot Cake (even though Andrew almost sold us on the Butter Cake :) ).More infoHyde Park Prime Steakhouse-Downtown ColumbusPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- JJackieVIPColumbus •53 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEnjoyed Valentine’s Day dinner with my wife at Cap City. We had a 5:30 reservation ( allow extra time to get to this restaurant as Olentangy River Road is ALWAYS backed up!! The restaurant was packed but we got our table on time. Very dense sitting but our table mates on both sides were delightful. We each had a cocktail, the walleye special, and split coconut cream pie. Absolutely delicious and the service was excellent . We love Cap City and usually have a wonderful meal and service, tonight was no exception!More infoCap City Fine Diner & Bar - GrandviewPrice: Moderate• American• Grandview Heights•4.7
- MMarcoColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis visit was kind of different. It was my 2nd time coming here and of course we were served nicely. Although I noticed the food was very salty. I had wine so it's kind of helping with that but it literally stings our tongue. We got the burger, wings, thai mussels and clam chowder. Overall it was nice, except for that salty food.More infoThe Pearl - Short NorthPrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- MMaryColumbus •15 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!More infoForno Kitchen and BarPrice: Moderate• American• Short North - Arena District•4.8
