Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages. if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.

Close walking distance to Ohio Theater with nice view overlooking Christmas lights in Columbus Commons. Met up with a friend for dinner before seeing Jon Stewart. Service was fast, food was hot and tasted great, atmosphere was friendly and lively without being too loud to hold a conversation. Great place to grab food if you're downtown for an event.
