This is hands down one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. Located in downtown, on a rooftop with great views, Goodale Station definitely doesn't lack in views. I made a reservation here for my graduation dinner and they had a nice little side room that only had a couple tables, which I really liked the intimacy of. Their cocktails were really good and were even able to make off menu classic cocktails. The only pitfall was that our food did take a while to get out as well as our second round of drinks but maybe they were slammed. We also had to ask for an extra napkin twice since one of our drinks spilled. Other than the time the service took this meal was so enjoyable. I got the salmon tar tar which was delicious but I pretty small portion, so definitely get something else if you're more hungry. I'd definitely go back, but just to sit and eat at their bar. read more

I've made it here twice now - the first time for drinks before dinner, the second time for dinner and drinks! The staff has consistently been top notch. Sitting at the bar - *every* bartender was checking in on us. They did not leave us with an empty drink or indecision. It was nice. Sitting at a table, being our loud, drunk, selves - the staff took that in stride, and entertained our stupidity, it drunkenness, and all around making you feel welcome. It is pricey, but for that price? This crew is tight, friendly, and on it. I will come back, because it was just a fun experience. read more

My friends and I made a reservation but it wasn't busy when we came. It was a rainy evening. A few groups here and there, a handful of folks sitting at the bar, and there was one larger group that had booked the private room. It's a beautiful space. Windows everywhere. You can get a decent view of the city from multiple angles. We started off with drinks and apps. I got the Jammin cocktail, recommended by our server while my friends tried a couple different options. All unique flavors and presented nicely. For the apps, we shared shishito peppers and the artichoke and mushroom tartine on some kind of baguette bread. I liked the tartine but not so much the shishito peppers. It's decent but the flavors are all underneath the peppers and it wasn't a flavorful dish. Not a ton of vegetarian options for my friends. They shared the vegetable tofu skewers and the Korean garlic buns. The tofu wasn't good. They added a type of teriyaki sauce that had too much vinegar in it. The Korean buns were one of the best things we ordered. So good! Nothing from the entrees interested me so I got the smoked trout dip. Delicious! I would order again. It was pretty filling for me. Overall, nice vibes. Our server was nice. He was easy to flag down if we needed anything. Parking around here is either garage or parallel. read more

Great food with rooftop views! I loved the lighting and the ambiance, it was a great place to relax and it wasn't too loud to hear one another speak. The smoked trout dip was my favorite, it was creamy and not too fishy. The garlic buns were also good, who doesn't love carbs? It was too cold for us to enjoy the rooftop this time but I plan to come back again for happy hour. read more

First visit and wow -- what an experience @goodalestation From the mood and atmosphere to the stunning rooftop views, every detail was on point. The presentation was beautiful, the food was delicious, and let's just say the espresso martinis (my signature cocktail ) were flowing.Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the night even better. This rooftop is officially a must‑visit every time we're in Columbus.We tried the Maple Burrata -- crisp pancetta, green apple, smoked salt, chili oil, Aleppo peppers, kale, and maple gastrique -- and the Grass‑Fed Burger with cheddar, house pickles, fried Fresno peppers, thick‑cut bacon, and onion jam. Absolute perfection Can't wait for the next visit! read more

Goodale Station was outstanding! The food is delicious. We came for breakfast and left stuffed! We ordered a couple boozy drinks before heading to the Columbus Zoo and it made for an excellent day. Fantastic views. We were able to sit on the patio and it was great. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. I would love to come back because there are so many other meals I would like to try out! read more

Goodale Station - Korean buns - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Incredible experience at the Goodale station. Beatiful settings, great service with food to match! We were seated by the window so the evening started off with the great view. Our daughter had a martin (Porn Star), which she said was very good. We only went for appetizers but it was more than enough for all of us: Charcuterie (I think this was the only miss as there was nothing special about the cheeses, just your average of the mill cheeses), strawberry fennel, Salmon Tartare, Smoked Trout Dip, Shishito Peppers and Korean Buns - everything else (except that one mentioned previously) was absolutely great. For the dessert, we went for chocolate cremeux and it was incredible. Plus, our server (Soto - hats off to you, great job for the service!!!) when he found out that we are here for special occasion (our daughters graduation) gave 4 macaroons, which our daughter absolutely loved. So fantastic experience overall!!! read more

I would say more like 3.5! Went for brunch, it's a beautiful space up on the rooftop with a lovely view. Food was a little slow to come out but our server was very nice. Food wise, I had the omelette which was a little greasier than I would have expected especially since I got egg whites, but not bad. Potatoes could have been saltier. We also got beignets to share which were tasty if not the more traditional puffy beignet Overall a fine experience, not amazing but solid! read more

First experience at Goodale Station was amazing! Ordered the Korean buns, foccacia and Spicy Rock Shrimp off the Happy Hour menu while we were waiting on the rest of our group...in addition to the trout dip off the regular menu!..We enjoyed these 3 dishes so much, we ordered them again for our group! Service, atmosphere, drinks and food were all 5 stars! Can't wait to return! read more

The view invites you to come on the patio because it is beautiful. My group was fortunate to come after the rain and got a table on the patio. The lighting outside changes colors, which you can see in my pics. I started with the BLt salad which was tasty. The bacon in the salad was more like ham and added the perfect amount of saltiness. I ordered the pan seared bass for my entree and it was seasoned perfectly. I loved the sear on the skin which made it crispy and added the right amount of texture. For my drink I ordered the in bloom, which is a bourbon based drink. It was strong but flavorful. Our waitress was a little slow with coming to check on us, but I think that's because we were her only table outside. I would go back just for drinks and the view. read more

Such a beautiful space on the rooftop overlooking the city. The food was all decent and good. Server was nice enough. While I don't feel I ever need to go back, it was still a good place to have an evening catch up with old friends while we were in town. We had multiple appetizers, main course dishes, and desserts (photos attached) and they were all three to four star good enough. read more

Random girls weekend and we ended up here. Rooftop vibes, very cute decor, AC was super cold (which is a good thing this summer, but be prepared). We sat outside and our server was very accommodating. My burger was tasty, fries were a little salty but crunchy and cooked well for shoe string style. read more

A little delayed in posting, but visited and enjoyed Sunday brunch at Goodale Station on Father's Day. I've been once before for dinner and just love the ambiance. Any rooftop restaurant checks multiple boxes for me but I just love all of the natural light this restaurant offers. Service was great as well. Friendly, prompt and attentive. I completely failed to snap pictures but we tried the brioche French toast and the short rib hash. French toast was excellent. Not too soft and just the right level of sweetness. The hash was a bit of a letdown unfortunately. Needed additional flavor of some sort and the fat from the short rib left the hash brown a bit soggy and oily. I did successfully snap a few drink pics :) As a cilantro super fan, the Say It Ain't Cilantro was so good. Unlike anything I've ever had before. Also tried the Morning Prep and also very unique and delicious. read more

This has been a place on my list to try and it did not disappoint! We brought some friends who were in town for brunch and the views are top notch. We sat on the patio but the inside is very chic too. Our server was really attentive, helpful and nice. I ordered the enthusiast which was a tasty iced coffee, perfect for a warm day and to get energized. We had some mimosas which were a great deal and the free fall. For our meals we got the short rib hash and the tacos, the short rib hash was a hit but my friend didn't love her tacos. Overall, this is a great spot and definitely worth popping up for a drink to at least see the views read more

Goodale Station - The burger! With fries yummmmmm - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great atmosphere, great service, fun & inventive drinks and one of the best views of Columbus, both from the inside & on patio. Love that 90% of menu is small plates & sharables and only 6 entrees because I prefer to eat tapas style. Great happy hour as well. I intend on trying it out sometime. Parking was not difficult on a weekday around 7pm, but not sure how it would be on a weekend. LOVE the tables w/ couches you can sit at. This place is chic without being pretentious. Only downside would be that with a menu that small, once you've tried a lot of the small plates it's like you've had most of the menu and almost want to wait for the next seasonal one to arrive. The stuffed buns are a must have!! I intend on making this a go to spot for me :) read more

A beautiful restaurant but could use some updates with their menu. Came here for dinner with my colleagues and upon entering, it's confusing where to go as you'd need to take an elevator up to the restaurant. There was no signage outside for you to know if you're in the right place. Took a guess and we actually ended up at the restaurant - yay. The service is good with our server being very attentive, however the food really needs some work imo. Started off with a cocktail that had babies breath for garnish. Babies breath is toxic to humans and should not be used in food, so I was quite surprised to see that my drink came with a whole bunch of it. The drink itself was good, so no complaints with taste. Charcuterie 5/5 - This was a great platter for sharing and had a huge variety of different cheese ranging from sharp to soft, pickles, jams etc. They could've provided more crackers but nonetheless, this was great! Duck pasta 2/5 - This is what caught me by surprise. I thought my duck pasta would come in some sort of sauce but unfortunately it was a complete miss for me. It came in this soupy base and had white beans in it as well which was weird in texture and flavour. I ended up picking out each white bean individually which left me with about half the dish to eat. The taste was also nothing spectacular, it truly tasted like chicken noodle soup. Such an odd dish that sounded so great, but unfortunately was not for me. The vibes and views are great here, but could use an update to their menu and drink practices. read more

This is such a cute rooftop restaurant and bar. Grade for groups as they have a private room in addition to the outdoor patio with fire pits and a full bar on the inside. My burger was great and the broth that these muscles were in was so delicious. To drink I had the jealous Justine and it was great. Will definitely remember this location next time I am in Columbus, Ohio. read more

This restaurant is on the 12th floor of Canopy by Hilton Hotel. When you walk in, you are greeted by a beautiful space. Floor to ceiling windows and its light and bright. The view of downtown is very nice and it's a fun atmosphere. It's pretty loud, which made conversation a bit challenging. The service was pretty slow. We didnt see our server a ton. The food was good not great. We had a steamed buns, charcuterie board and hubs and I split the lamb shank. We also had a side of Brussel sprouts. I had the fancy Nancy to drink and it was delicious. Overall, good experience but I wouldn't rush back. read more

Ok... a bit interesting here. Food was Okay at best. Maybe even a 2-3 stars on food. However... the views in this place were beautiful. The atmosphere was great. And our waiter may have been my all time favorite waiter. I wish I would have caught his name. He had a beard and wore a white chain around his neck. Best waiter ever, and I'm not joking. He made our experience worthwhile. So, him coupled with the awesome views... (did i mention a balcony with fire pits too?... amazing!) 4 stars! read more

I love this spot for the views and drinks. Staff changes up the food and beverage menu every 3 months, so it's possible you won't be able to get the same thing if you go multiple times. This is on the top floor. You'll walk in, go to the elevator, and there's only 1 floor to choose going up. Choose that one. You'll be greeted by a host when you get out of the elevator. It's pretty spacious with the large bar area (bar, bar tables and booths), a seating area to the right, and a more private room in the back. The private room is nice because it's not as loud as the others. Drinks are fabulous here. This trip, I went with a group of colleagues & we had a ton of apps & some drinks. Everything was great, but I do miss the lavender cocktail they had in the winter. read more

We had been wanting to try Goodale Station for a while, after seeing some cool photos. It is located on the top floor of the Canopy Hilton hotel, and the rooftop gives some pretty awesome views of the city. I was weary about parking, so we Ubered. We went for brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't crowded at all. The bartender was excellent, we each got an espresso martini and shared the tacos (chorizo, scrambled eggs, salsa, cotija cheese, shredded lettuce). They came out quickly and were delicious. They come with a side of potatoes and chicharrones and we enjoyed the crunch of the chicharrones. The inside is swanky and there are several different areas to sit for small or large parties. It was an open air set up when we went which added to the ambience of the rooftop setting. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Goodale Station and will now add it to the short list of places we plan to take friends who are visiting from out of town. I will say, the cocktail prices are a bit steep for Columbus (espresso martini was $18), however the brunch cocktails were more reasonable (around $10). Regardless, Goodale Station gets 5 stars in my book. read more

Ambiance: The ambiance is great! I love the rooftop view of Columbus. We got to be there during a storm and the storm was crazy, but the views were beautiful. Perfect in the evening and on cloudy days. Food: We tried a bunch of their menu items. We got: szechuan beef, aloo masala, burger + fries, salmon, caesar salad with chicken, and Korean garlic bread. I'm still not sure why it's called Korean garlic bread when there's nothing Korean about it unless you pay extra to add kimchi. It was a decent sized garlic bread filled with cream cheese though. The caesar salad was delicious, but it was overdressed for my liking and to add chicken it's $8, making it a $20 salad which is overpriced to me. At least the chicken wasn't dry! I enjoyed the szechuan beef and aloo masala. Their fries remind me of McDonald's fries, but just crispier! Drinks: We got the Manix Pixie, Abnormal Nectar, spicy marg, and Tokyo Tea (Mocktail). Good cocktails and it's priced higher than usual, but it is a rooftop bar. The mocktail was delicious, but $9 to not have alcohol in it was steep. Service: LOVED our waiter. He was efficient and so kind to us. He checked in quite often and even offered to take our group picture on their patio area. It was a friend's birthday and he was so sweet to give us 6 macaroons so we could each have one. Would come back! read more

This time I decided to give it a try and was not a bad experience. I did not get the best impression because when I arrived they let someone else in under my reservation, luckily was a Tuesday and the place was not crowded, but the story had been different if it was a Saturday. The service is the best part of this restaurant, Tara was our server and she is amazing, kudos to her. The ambience is not mesmerizing however is cozy and classy in a casual way (confusing, I know). The food is nothing to day for, I like the fact the menu is short, but the options available did not impress me. Presentation was nice and both dishes lacked some seasoning but in general the food is good. I don't know if I would come back, maybe if the menu changes in a for-seeing future. read more

We had drinks and apps here on a Monday night while we were house sitting in Columbus We went for happy hour and to check out the view. We had an old fashioned , sangria and a margarita They were good and reasonably priced. The apps were ok. The cheese board was the star. The Korean dish was the most disappointing. The biggest letdown was the view. Maybe it'd be better after dark but at 4:00 the view is of an empty parking garage read more

There's a lovely ambience to this restaurant on the top floor of Canopy Hilton. The elevator only goes up to the 12th floor and there is a nice open space with outdoor patio. We asked to sit outside (on the other patio) which was quiet and empty and we were completely happy with that. We had a starter of the Sticky Root Beer Ribs, followed by Caesar salad and Three Cup Chicken and finishing with the chocolate tart (crust was delicious). Lots of choices on the menu, many shareable options, and lovely views of the Columbus downtown. The weather was pleasant -- what more could you ask for to have a lovely night? read more

Restaurant is on top of a hotel, struggled to get valet and the hotel staff were not the most friendly or helpful, but not going to fault the restaurant for that. The views from the restaurant on the top floor are amazing, and it is beautifully decorated. The food itself was great, and they had good variety. The best appetizer we had was the short rib and the crab cakes. The entrees were all fantastic. The burger and fries were phenomenal with great flavor. The steak was a little tough, but had good flavor. The fish was phenomenal and salad was all fresh. The mussels themselves were not very good and a bit fishy, but the sauce was fantastic. read more

Great place to date night. Drinks are expensive and not worth it. The food has A good mix of flavor. The view is everything. Light music playing was perfect. I gave it a for because it's small portions for the price. However I think you come for the view. There are other places not far from here that serve food equally as good for less but doesn't have the view. It's worth a try on a date. It's open very late for Columbus downtown which makes it worthwhile. read more

Went there before for drinks late one night which was fine sitting at the bar and with the views. So...decided to go back for a date night cap amd this time grab a quick bite. We had a server who was training and the service was good. Unfortunately the food was not. The crab & asparagus appetizer was okay enough to share. But the shrimp and grits was abysmal! The grits had no flavor and the shrimp was barely cooked with an ancho butter sauce that was more butter than chiles. If the shrimp were blackened and then placed in the sauce maybe it could've been saved idk. I should've known when I heard others leaving going to the steakhouse next door. Just good for drinks and views! read more

Overall I thought the food and drinks were very good! But honestly, the best part of Goodale Station is the beautiful interior and view. A girl had a seizure or something here and everyone here was very good at staying calm, calling 911, and finding a doctor in the restaurant. So hopefully there isn't a repeat of this incident but know that if you have a near-death experience here, you will be taken care of! Maybe that's worth an honorary star? That's up to you! I specifically thought the caesar dressing was good- i can be a bit picky sometimes about the dressing and it's pretty dicey at most places but I loved it here. Heavy on the parm as well, as a caesar should be! read more
