Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Upper Arlington

We came in for the great happy hour. The scallops are a must, and i love the ahi tuna tacos, but i get them in lettuce boats. Our server, Cristina, is always attentive and pleasant...she aims to please. Her personality is definitely suited to giving great customer service ...always a pleasure! And, of course, we must give a big shout out to Sydney, the 'hostess with the mostest'. She is a joy... always has a welcoming smile and still a professional demeanor. We love Forno. Great venue for brunch and birthdays too👍

Food and service excellent!! Cuban sandwich, lemon blueberry pancakes, chicken & waffles and hanger steak delightful!!

From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.

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. 

I had the pleasure of dining at The Avenue recently, and I can’t praise our server, Yusef, enough. From the moment we sat down, Yusef made us feel welcomed and truly valued. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and thoughtful recommendations elevated our entire experience. He and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect — from the timing of each course to making sure our drinks were always topped off. Yusef’s genuine care and exceptional service turned an already great evening into something memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant and their fantastic team!
