    First and foremost I would like to compliment the staff from the hostesses to the wait staff on their superior service!! (Thanks for the Beach Picture :) From the moment we walked in the door everyone had a great attitude and went out of their way to make sure our party was taken care of. The oysters & shrimp were delicious, the chowder soup, fried green tomatoes, red snapper and drinks were all top notch. The atmosphere was light not too loud and the music was at the right level that you could have a conversation without yelling. I would definitely recommend this restaurant & look forward to returning. We can’t wait to try the one in Charleston SC on summer vacation:) Great Valentines celebration did not disappoint.

    My boyfriend and I went here for a Valentine’s Day dinner and everything was delicious! We started with appetizers. I had the She Crab Soup and he had the East Coast Oyster Sampler. For the main course I had Seared Sea Scallops and he had the Rare Seared Blackened Tuna. Highly recommend!

    Ambiance was really nice. Service was great. Our server Nate was amazing. Food was terrible. My halibut was undercooked and my wife grouper was flavorless. Pricey, which I don’t mind if food was worth it but we paid left and went to another restaurant for our food. Definitely will not be returning. We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant but it was a big let down. 1/10

    RUN! Don't walk to Hank's! If you are even slightly on the fence about going here, LEAP! This is easily the hottest spot in Columbus. I booked our reservation for Valentine's Day 6 weeks in advance and barely made it in! Our experience was amazing from start to finish. Valet is perfectly located right in front of the entrance, they were quick and professional despite the large number of cars and people all night. Hosts were polite and seated us immediately. We had a nice seat by the window facing High Street. Our server Colin was awesome. He had great knowledge of the menu and was very friendly thought-out. Food was excellent, cooked perfectly and came out very quickly. Ambiance was very fitting with a rich-southern vibe to it. All in all this was a great experience and we cannot wait to return!

We are so thrilled that we were given the opportunity to take care of you on such a special day and that you had such a wonderful time and dining experience here at Hank's. It is our mission to provide the elevated level of service that brings our guests back through our doors, and we are so happy that we hit the mark for you.

    The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We ordered oysters, calamari for apps. Drinks were perfect. My wife had a salad that was way too large. There should be a half salad or side salad, not just an entree salad. Everything else was very good. It was our second time there. We will return soon.

    Oir waiter Eric was great. Very knowledgeable, had great suggestions, and was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant was very well decorated and the ambiance was incredible. We were seated near the kitchen which was lively without being distracting. Incredible restaurant and a wonderful night out, thank you!
