I had the best experience at ocean club! The food is hands down the best seafood in columbus. Everything was so flavorful and portions were huge. My server was Nikhil and he was outstanding!! He treated us so well and was so genuine. My friends and I will definitely be requesting him every time we come here!

It was a lovely dinner with scrumptious food, excellent service, and attentive wait staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance with the live piano player entertaining everyone with classic Christmas songs!! Everything was on point!! We were even surprised with a treat for dessert to celebrate our anniversary! So sweet! Can’t wait to return!

It was cute- there were no pictures taken of us or anything outside of some decorations and table service. I heard other locations had pictures, music and a bustling atmosphere- so may try a different location another time. The tables had plastic tablecloths and the battery operated candles and they had some decorations. Someone brought in takeout from another restaurant to give to someone working.

My wife & I always book The Keep when we come downtown for a show at the Palace Theatre because it’s so convenient: parking easy, solid dining experience, and right next to the Theatre. Greg our server who has taken good care of us many times before did a nice juggling between tables on an extremely busy night. The Chef and his team did a nice job serving up hot our tasty meals too. We’ll be back!

My two granddaughters and I had a very good experience at spaghetti warehouse. We were on our way to see the Nutcracker and we wanted to try the spaghetti warehouse. Food was delicious. Everything was a OK. Towards the end of the evening though it did get pretty loud. But the open ceilings I can understand there would be a lot of noise. But we had a wonderful time.
