The room is a bit dark and the small candle on each table is definitely not enough light to read the menu. Make sure you have your phone for light. I am Deaf but my girlfriend loves jazz so I like to take her to places she's never been before. She loved the music so that was great! We ordered the hummus and they gave you plenty of it. I ordered the octopus and for $28 it was definitely not worth it nor was it delicious. They give you two small pieces. If I knew that I would have never ordered it. Plus it was not cooked properly. Octopus is my favorite food and I have many years of experience ordering it and cooking it myself. This was very disappointing. The one woman server did a good job managing about 10 couples herself. I would return but I would think twice about ordering dinner here.

Came by Monday with friends! Not sure if they take reservations but they weren't busy so we walked…read moreright in and got a table. To start, we got beers and margs. Not bad but nothing special. We also shared the shrimp ceviche. Good flavor but strange texture with the toasted nuts. The food seems like it's fusion as my friend and I both got chilaquiles but the chips were already broken apart and mixed with the meat. Still tasty but not what we expected. My other friend got the patacon, which basically looked like a salad. Far from the usual plantain fritters with toppings. Only one of my table mates ordered something that sounded like what was expected, the Ecuadorian churrasco: sirloin, eggs, fries, rice, and salad. For dessert, we got the flan and tres leches cake. There was a hair on the cake and they quickly gave us a new slice. Good but the flan could've been better. The cake was good though. Nothing was too sweet which was perfect. Overall the food was good but not as authentic as we had hoped. The service was also a bit slow. It was a slower evening but it took a while to get our drinks. Our server was really nice though. We ordered his recommendations. I'm not too familiar with parking around here but there were parallel spots in front. I parked in the garage at the back. Around $6 for two hours.

Standout french fries that I could have eaten all day long, i think it was the black garlic seasoning on them that had me just reaching and reaching for more!

From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone for what would become an unforgettable dining experience. Our server, Lacey delivered hospitality with the kind of effortless grace that can't be taught. She anticipated needs before they were spoken, guided us through the menu with confidence, and maintained a warmth that made our table feel like the only one in the room. Wine & Cocktails: A Study in Balance and Craft The wine selection was superb -- thoughtfully curated, expressive, and perfectly paired with the richness of the evening's dishes. The cocktails were equally impressive, crafted with precision and a clear respect for balance. Each sip felt intentional, layered, and celebratory. The Paella: A Showstopper But the true star of the night was the paella -- a dish so masterfully executed it deserves its own ovation. The rice was tender yet structured, infused with deep saffron warmth and kissed with just enough socarrat to make any purist smile. The seafood was impeccably fresh, each component cooked to its ideal texture. It was the kind of paella that silences a table, not out of politeness, but out of reverence. When the chef personally came out to greet us, it only reinforced what the dish had already made clear: this is a kitchen led by someone who cooks with both technique and heart. A Birthday Elevated My husband orchestrated the evening beautifully, and Sidebar rose to meet the moment with finesse. Our guests were genuinely impressed -- not just by the food, but by the seamless choreography of service, ambiance, and attention to detail. It felt less like a dinner and more like a curated celebration Final Thoughts Sidebar Columbus delivers the rare combination of exceptional cuisine, polished service, and heartfelt hospitality. The paella alone is worth crossing the city for, but the entire experience -- from Laceys attentive care to the chef's personal touch -- transforms a simple night out into something memorable. For anyone seeking a dining experience that feels both elevated and warmly personal, Sidebar stands confidently at the top.

I have visited VASO for happy hour twice now, and keep raving about it to friends and coworkers!…read moreThe first time was in July for my birthday, and we ordered most of the happy hour food menu as well as some drinks. They paced our food very nicely, the next few tapas would come out right as we were finishing the current ones. The second visit was with a few clients, who both loved the experience. We sat inside but had a great time chatting, eating tapas, and enjoying cocktails. My favorite tapas are the truffel potatoes, Cilantro hummus, and Brazilian cheese breads. But we loved all of it (crab cakes, chicken florentine salad, spanish grilled cheese, and more). I also really like the Sparkling Sangria, as did my clients.

There was a bit of a snafu at the beginning, where the fire alarm was going off when we arrived. We had to go back down 8 flights of stairs and come back up for our reservation when we could come back in (which was as soon as we got to the bottom). It was fine for us, but I can see 8 flights being a challenge for a lot of people. Otherwise, the ambiance was lovely and the view was great. My only major gripe was the service. Our server didn't check on us very often, and we had to ask for the dessert menu when we heard last call was coming up. I'm chalking up the service mishap to an odd evening with the fire alarm. Definitely would love to come back and try it again!

The menu has something to offer for almost anyone: hamburgers, pizza, sandwiches, soups, etc. I personally got the pork belly appetizer and the Capicola Ham & Swiss sandwich. The ingredients were really good. The ham sandwich blew my expectations out of the water. My ONLY suggestion right now is that I feel like there would be more value if the sandwiches and burgers were served with a side like chips, fruit, or fries instead of house pickles given the price point. They are planning to start doing brunch very soon on Saturdays and they have a full bar. Would highly recommend checking this place out!!! I'll update in a few months once they get more settled.

We ended up just snatching stuff from the next table when we couldn't get anyone's attention.

We had cold noodles (too much sauce), brussel sprouts (fine but not great), french onion fries (most interesting thing we ate), Mac and cheese (good. Not decadent but good). I'd come back to drink at the bar and down a bowl of that Mac and cheese, but I don't think I'd come back with a group looking to share apps at happy hour.
