    First time here. We came in for brunch and we loved what we had. We had the she crab soup….delicious! We also had the crab Benedict and Buttermilk chicken. It was all really good! The only reason we left before having one more cup of the great coffee was the girl three tables down popping her gum. Not the restaurants fault, but we almost went over to her and asked her if she was enjoying her gum. Very nice place and they still have less than classy people coming in.

    This restaurant has a nice happy hour 4-6 with good prices and nice seating area. We had a 5pm reservation so we enjoyed the lounge for an appetizer ceviche and crab soup before dinner. Our server was excellent in the lounge and dining area. The service was prompt and attention to detail. We will return when staying in Columbus at Hotel LeVeque and are happy they recommended this to us.

    First time visiting the restaurant,it was my,66 birthday and I truly enjoyed my evening. The server ( Neil) was great, a man of few words, but we appreciated that. The food was excellent and prices were not outrageous. I recommend this establishment.

    The food was excellent! Cocktails were done well. Our waitress Courtney was excellent and was quite attentive without being obtrusive. The food came out quickly and hot. Definitely will return. This was the perfect for our anniversary dinner!

    I want to really love Hank’s BUT I’ve been several times and this is my humble opinion..if you offer valet services then you should hire people who know how to drive a stick shift. This is the 3rd time I have had to or my friend had to park in the garage and walk in the bitter cold. Btw, I have no problem doing this if I’m prepared. 2nd the service progression is slow. Twice now my appetizers came before my drinks. We had to ask to clear dirty plates and had to flag someone down about where our drinks were. My friends dinner, Shrimp & Grits came to the table unevenly cooked and cold. My dinner, the seafood a la wando was wonderful! Again I really want to love this place but for the prices, we deserved better.

    We’ve been excited to get a taste of high end lo country in Columbus since we heard about Hank’s opening. We finally were able to try it out for a birthday celebration but while there is a lot of potential, too many things fell short to make it a special place. Good downtown atmosphere that makes you think the place has been there for years and the white coats signal service is a priority. We had some peaks there with a warm welcome and good recommendations on drinks and menu selections. We were let down though with an undercooked entree (plates had been cleared before we were checked on) and we weren’t offered replacement for cold coffee until desert was almost done. The blackened tuna was excellent with a great variety of flavors and textures and the cod had promise (if it had been cooked properly). And there were so many other starters and entrees we want to try. Maybe we’ll be back for happy hour when the stakes aren’t as high.
