Best Romantic Restaurants in Victorian Village

Everything at Butcher & Rose exceeded my expectations. My fiancé and I went to celebrate our 4th anniversary and upon arriving at the table there was a cute notecard saying happy anniversary. From the person who was refilling our waters, to our actual waiter and even back up waitress everyone was so extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as this was our first time there and had valuable recommendations. The ambiance was nice and felt the price for everything we ordered and the experience was worth the money. I plan to come back again.

Seated on time. Calm interior, quiet conversation. No background music to be shouted over, which is a big plus, especially if you have hearing aids! Service was attentive. Espressos were admittedly forgotten by the wait staff, which was otherwise excellent. Once she was reminded, it appeared quickly. Onion soup was hot, cheesy and delicious. Risotto notable for superb combination of flavors. The half portion was generously sized. Cheeseburger was actually cooked medium rare, as ordered. Nice to have selection of several sides not just French fries. The sesame bun was toasted perfectly. Traditional condiments required special request as no ketchup or mustard was offered or presented. Main dish was served as we were still eating our soup. They had great Cole slaw! Beverages of the alcoholic type were diverse and apparently satisfying. The dessert menu looked marvelous, but we did not partake of its offerings, choosing espresso instead. One of my criteria for a good restaurant, having a functional pepper mill on the table (and salt), which was on the table when we were seated. Check! The bread items were freshly made and artisanal. The basket arrived automatically and was not added to the tab. Lighting was subdued. Atmosphere was warm, cozy and relaxing. The menu was creative but not off-putting as there were items familiar to most diners, as well. It is nice to be able to select the size of ones entrée, obviating the need for leftovers unless one is a fan of leftovers. Thoroughly delightful experience! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus! I will return again soon!

I had one of the best experiences at Cento last night! I came in to celebrate my birthday with a few friends and the customer service i received, the delicious food, amazing cocktails and wine, and ambiance of the restaurant made my birthday dinner memorable and extremely special for me. My server, I believe her name was Alex, was one of the friendliest and nicest servers I’ve ever had. She recommended we talk to Stacy when we wanted to buy two bottles of wine, and Stacy was nothing but helpful and gave us such great recommendations. Thank you Cento for making my birthday dinner one of the most memorable nights! The staff, food, and drinks are absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to come back again!

The food and drinks are really good and the service is lovely. The prices are a bit on the high side, but not unreasonable. Definitely recommend, but be aware that it is very loud - the volume of the music and/or TVs are nearly dance club level - not a great place to go if you want to be able to converse within your group, but otherwise a fun spot for a good drink.

The food was amazing. Chef Greg is one great cook. My friends and I came in for brunch and it did not disappoint. The Bloody Mary special was fantastic! Will definitely return.
