Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Short North - Arena District

Michael, Mo and Leaha very welcoming. We had a pleasurable Valentine's Day dinner experience. Food was great as usual. Enjoyed the lobster bisque.

We 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 :) ).

We both ordered lobster thermidor and it was excellent. I had ordered flowers for the occasion and they were on the table when we were seated. Very impressive. The service was impeccable. Just wish they would put the lobster Thermidor on the regular menu.

Our server, Brenden, was great! Knowledgeable, attentive and very friendly! Everyone that we came in contact with from the hostess stand to the manager was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the luncheon Paella Barcelona and the vegetarian falafel plate.

Our 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!
