- CChrisIndiana •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoMy partner and I had not been the The Guild House prior and this was a Valentine's dinner. Our server was fantastic and very knowledgeable, host was prompt and professional. We had cocktails, appetizer, and main dish but skipped on desert, the complimentary chocolate was perfect top off. My partner expressed her needs for gluten free due to Celiac disease for her own dish, and our server brought both our dishes with respect to these needs in case she wanted to try and of mine without asking which was absolutely perfect as I failed to ask before she submitted the order. We did have our appetizer come out later than ideal however the server proactively made up for the delay. The ambiance was a dream and the Rufus du Sol music playlist fit the vibe perfectly. The Guild House became my favorite restaurant in Columbus from one visit and I fully intend to come back with friends!More infoThe Guild House - ColumbusPrice: Expensive• American• Columbus•4.8

- JJeremyColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoCelebrated my birthday at Hyde Park with a group of seven, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely spot on—attentive, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly for our group. The food was excellent across the board, but the highlight had to be the carrot cake. It was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—moist, flavorful, and the perfect way to end the meal. Everything about the night, from the atmosphere to the service and food, made for a great birthday dinner. Definitely a place I’d return to for any occasion!More infoHyde Park Prime Steakhouse-Downtown ColumbusPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Short North - Arena District•4.7
- SSarahColumbus •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoMy husband and I enjoyed an early Valentine's dinner last night. Once again Jeffy Ruby's was perfect! We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine and delicious food. Dave our server was excellent and attentive throughout the evening. His recommendations for dessert were spot on, I've never had the butter pie and so glad I chose it, perfection! Of course the steak and lobster were perfectly cooked and delicious, like I would expect from Jeff Ruby's high quality beef and seafood selections. We are already looking forward to dining here again and we are still talking about how great our meals were last night!More infoJeff Ruby's Steakhouse - ColumbusPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Short North - Arena District•4.8
- MMaryColumbus •15 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 10, 2025Our 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
