Restaurants near University City Shopping Center

Lunch in downtown Columbus is back and special! We started with the Dirty Tots - crispy, spicy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a pop of caviar with dill garnish. Fantastic. The Lobster Roll is warm, filled with plump claw meat in a buttery roll with clarified butter for dipping and crispy shoestring fries. The Roasted Chicken was beyond any roast chicken with stuffing in the chicken breast, savory glaze on perfectly crisped skin. Even the iced tea was special - the current house made creation is a Blood Orange Iced Tea. A second glass arrived just as I was finishing the first. Service is friendly and gracious, there is valet at the lunch hour, and the interior of the restaurant is a lovely mix of formal and floral. A great business or celebratory lunch spot - much needed downtown.

Wonderful dinner ! We had the Blue Plate special fried chicken and the ponzu salmon. A gin and tonic ,and a glass of Kim Crawford started our evening and a delicious piece of pecan pie finished it off! They have a fabulous pastry chef! Great place, always busy! Get a reservation !!

Food and service were excellent. Staff was patient with us as we had a leisurely dinner with friends who we don’t see very often.

I meet my sister here periodically and it's so good. We have enjoyed our lunches there and Todd has been a perfect server.

First rate dinner and service. Thomas was an excellent server and even created a low alcohol drink for my wife. Had the bone in ribeye and definitely one of best I’ve ever had - excellent char and medium rare which not many places do well. Wife has the streak Rossini and we also enjoyed the godfather sushi roll. Made to order donuts for desert were fabulous.0
