First time for Brunch at High Bank and was delighted at the variety!! Great quality ingredients, priced appropriately. We loved the peach burrata, so fresh and the arugula was tossed in a rich olive oil with grainy salt. We only wished we had more bread because it was so good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large seating area, so even though it was noon on a Saturday we were able to be seated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also got the High Bank House Salad without tomatoes and swapped out the blue cheese for pecorino. They were very accommodating of substitutions which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy. Salmon bowl was well seasoned and the flavors complimented eachother well. Very well cooked salmon, not overdone and a good cut of meat. Tasted as expected. read more

Double review for PO Box and High Bank. Started off the night at PO BOX 21 which is downstairs at High Banks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Disappointed on the speakeasy entrance since it wasn't as "secretive"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dark decor but had a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly. I got the creme de la creme and my friend got an old fashioned. We also split the pimento cheese dip. It had a kick to it. Went upstairs for dinner. He got the salmon bowl which looked amazing and I got the spicy chicken sandwich. The side of fries were amazing due to the sauce. Got myself another drink which was the popsicle stand which tasted like a 50/50 bar Had a pair of friendly servers with one in training. Ended the night with a butter cake. Large serving but too much compote for my liking. Overall great experience for both! Tip: best to find street parking as the lot behind the restaurant fills up fast. read more

We all got the fish and chips and found it was some of the best in town. Crispy fish, interesting slaw, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall cool location with hip food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time at this location. We sat at the bar around 3 and yay, they have happy hour on Saturdays 3-6. We ordered drinks and the Honey Chipotle Hummus appetizer. Wow, was it good; served with pita and veggies, including watermelon radish slices. I had 2 vodka drinks; first was the Blueberry Basil. Nice and refreshing. My second was even better. The Key to your Heart was really good and a lime vanilla flavor. The bartender was great, and we had a nice visit. We ordered entrees to go while we were down in the speakeasy. The Blackened Shrimp Pasta tasted really good with added salmon. So good that I would get it again. read more

I made reservations for a Friday on a Tuesday and the inly time available was 5:30, so make your reservations early! We arrived for happy hour (a few dollars off apps and drinks). We ordered the End of anxiety (whisky) and Flying Colors (gin). Both were really good and beautifully presented. For food we got the spicy chicken sandwich and Korean Philly sandwich. Both were very good. The chicken was spicy!! Service was great, very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is great - good decor and lighting, very open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Started with shishito peppers then salmon bowl and chicken sandwich. I mean the piece of chicken was HUGE. perfectly crispy but spicy and needed ranch to dip!

We came for brunch on Sunday. I got the espresso martini and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. I usually don't get grilled cheese when I'm out to eat because they're usually never warm still, but thus far exceeded my expectations. It was cheesy crunchy and delicious. Would get over again for sure. Service was ok and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the beautiful windows did the space a lot of justice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be back read more

High Banks Distillery has such a fun and upbeat atmosphere one would never even know it was a bank at some point in time. The menu is bold and servers are so fun. We did a solid Brussel Sprout starter with some amazing deviled eggs complete with the creamiest of good egg mixture thats more blended forwards than the ordinary chunky and or loaded with paprika like usual - these are better by far. I loved these eggs are were some of my favorites I have tired. The salad was incredible and veggie-centric on a solid level combining all sorts of wonderful items and a must while touring this menu. We will be back and hopefully we can go into their speakeasy for a solid Mocktail as we totally forgot to even ask or request whatever secret password one might need to gain access to this lower lair. read more

This place improved since I last visited a long time ago. Was a one star then. Service is still disjointed and not great. Food has improved. I think a manager asked me if I needed anything and I said yes I think the btender forgot me. He just laughed. Bartenders.

Delicious. We fought over the chicken and cheddar biscuits they were so freaking delicious. The pasta with shrimp was so good too. The old fashion cocktail was really good too.

What a cool place... Our first time on and i was very impressed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The decor gives off a clean upscale vibe which i really like. The waitress was spot on with the service. The food was delicious. I had their their brunch wrap supreme with fries which was very good. Wifie had the omelets with greens which she seemed to really enjoy. The hot chicken and baskets looked awesome. This was a great experience and another great place to eat in downtown Westerville. read more

I came in for a late lunch on a weekday. I was the only one there. I did get great service. The place was nice, but I'd like to see it with more people to get a better feel for what it feels like at a normal time to eat there. The grilled cheese and fries were good (vegetarian here), no drink on this visit. The sandwich was pricey for it's size. I was surprised at how bright it was in there, in terms of decor. I assumed they would have kept more of the old wood from the former post office. I thought it could've had more classic character, but they modernized it for the most part. I will return for dinner with my wife. She enjoyed it when she went with friends and I'm confident I'll find more to enjoy on the menu. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute decor and good vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly staff. Good food and drinks. I Recommend a visit!

Great location and being inside of an old post office building makes it even cool. I suggest you make a reservation. We went for lunch and we did have a reservation. The place was really busy for lunch on a weekday so I can only imagine how it would be on weeknights or weekends. The place was nice and clean and a little smaller than the other locations. They also have a small patio on the side of the building. As per food, we ordered Brussel sprouts, High Bank deluxe burger and spicy chicken. For the beverage, I ordered Orange you Glad. Everything was delicious. I really can't complain about any of the dishes we ordered. The service however, lacked a little. We had to flag our server few times to place our order and request for the check. Overall, the food was great and I will be visiting this place again. read more

I've been to this High Bank location in Westerville a couple times now, and the best part? Consistency. It holds up just as well as their Grandview spot--which is saying something. Also, can we talk about the space for a second? It's in a beautifully renovated former post office, and they absolutely nailed the vibe. Tons of character, open and airy, but still cozy. I've only seen photos of the speakeasy tucked away in the back, but every time I'm here, I've got a kid with me--so checking it out is still on the bucket list. Soon! Let's talk food: the deviled eggs and crispy Brussels sprouts are legit fantastic. Perfectly done every time. And of course, I'm never passing up a smoked old fashioned. I'll admit it--I'm a sucker for their house liquors. The flavor profiles just get me. Service? On point. Attentive without being pushy, fast without feeling rushed, and genuinely friendly. Even while I was standing by the door waiting to head out, the hostess gave me a warm check-in with a huge smile. That kind of energy matters. If I had one critique, it's this: the main entrées just don't excite me as much as the starters and salads. They're fine--solid, but not the thing I'll be dreaming about later. The BLT Caesar salad, Brussels, and deviled eggs though? Those are the stars of the show. I'll be keeping an eye on their next menu refresh, but until then--this is firmly one of my go-to spots for stellar cocktails and small bites in a gorgeous, thoughtfully repurposed space. read more

Hubby and I went here for our regular Friday night outing. We pick a different place every Friday typically. High banks in Westerville is smaller than the Grandview location. We snagged a seat at the bar. I had the Columbus Brewing IPA and the southwest salad and hubby had the same beer and the smash burger, which looked delicious. I snagged a few fries, yummy. Hubby had the old fashioned and I tried the same as a mock old fashioned (was not a fan, very weak and no flavor). We then went downstairs to the secret cocktail lounge, which was a lot of fun. Great service all the way around and even met one of the managing partner of High Banks. Super nice guy. We will be returning. read more

Love the new location! It is in the building that used to be the post office We sat inside, but there is outside seating as well. We had reservations which I would recommend as it was busy on a Tuesday evening. It is also seems smaller inside than the other locations. Service was great and the food and drinks were good. Can't go wrong with the smoked old fashioned! The speakeasy isn't open yet but is supposed to be in late October. Parking can be a bit tricky as the parking lot is small. There is free public parking across the street. I would give yourself some extra time to find parking. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really beautiful place! Open and bright, high ceilings and beautiful decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came for drinks and an appetizer but the menu looks really nice, lots of delicious options. My sister ordered wine and my mom got mocktail called 'orange you glad you didn't say gin' (or something like that) she loved it! I took a sip and it was very good. Citrusy with some mint and other well matched flavors. We also got an order of nachos and they were some of the best I've ever had. The chips were thick and delicious. Tasted like they might make them fresh there. The toppings were well spread out and the queso was so flavorful! I wanted to keep eating them but was too full. I'd go back just for the nachos. Service was good. Friendly and helpful. I did want to look at the beer list but they don't have an actual list, you have to scan the QR code to see beer and wine but the code wouldn't work for me. I tried a few different times but it just wasn't capturing so idk what beer they have. read more

What a cool place! Very nice ambiance and interior design. I really enjoyed the brunch. Highly recommend the potato hash - perfect combination of chorizo, potatoes and poached eggs on arugula. The spicy aioli sauce was delish. Would definitely recommend. Lovely place, the only reason for me to deduct one star was that the service wasn't great. Very nice and all, just very slow. With a little service improvements this would easily be a 5 star restaurant experience. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved this location! It is in an old post office in Uptown Westerville and they have done an excellent job of keeping that vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started t the Speakeasy which you can enter from inside the restaurant but the fun secret entrance is at the back of the building down the stairs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lobby looks like a post office counter so don't think you are in the wrong place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is small and cozy with jazz music playing - expect to sit close to your neighbors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of fun cocktail options. We enjoyed the Chex and Balances snack mix. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main dining room is bright and a little noisy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers are friendly and very helpful with menu selections. Both of our meals were amazing. The Chorizo meatloaf was melt in your mouth and spiced just right. The bravas potatoes and green beans were perfect sides. The Chopped cheese is definitely cheesy and delicious with fresh fries and great fry sauce for dipping. Both of these items are seasonal so may not be on the menu when you visit. Prices are right on for the quality and amount of food you get. Highly recommend visiting this location and allowing extra time to stroll through uptown Westerville and visit PO Box XII. read more

This is my new favorite place in downtown Westerville! The inside is absolutely stunning and the bathrooms were just as gorgeous! We ordered 3 different appetizers that were all above and beyond amazing. Each item was unique, upscale, and full of flavor. The sever was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and helpful with my chicken sandwich order. This portion size was so large I had to get a box. The soup was amazing as a side and could be a perfect dish on its own. I can't wait to go back! read more

HighBank is always a great option - they have something for everyone! The last time we went, we swung by for a drink and apps. The crispy Brussels are not shown, but they are a showstopper.

If you're looking for a good cocktail spot with yummy food, High Bank won't disappoint! read more

Put on the list at 5pm. The wait was long but I was ok with waiting. They expected an hour and 45 min. It's been three hours and we have seen multiple others get seated before us. I understand there's people with reservations but why put me on a wait list for an expected time but completely miss that? The hostess came up and said it's taking longer and attempted to seat us at an awkward spot but people were standing around that area waiting to be seated. The entire experience was terrible. read more

Stopped in for drinks and apps after seeing positive reviews. Loved the ambience and our server was great. He was very welcoming and had lots of personality. Oh..also we made our reservation at the wrong location. But called ahead and they were kind enough to accommodate us. So kudos to the staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. We ordered the apple whiskey fizz cocktail which I fully expected to be a warm cocktail, perfect for the cold night. But I was surprised to learn it's an iced cocktail. Almost like a whiskey punch. They really should say that on the menu. Maybe that's what "fizz" implied? I'm not a big drinker so maybe others would know that. We were light eaters. I had a slightly spicy meatball dish. It was a bit salty but very good. I ate half and had the rest for breakfast with eggs. My brother had soup. So I can't really comment on the food. I enjoyed my visit but suggest you ask for details on the cocktails. read more

The newest High Bank location might just be their coolest one yet since it is inside the old Post Office. The modern interior décor with the historical exterior makes for a unique ambiance. We checked out the place for lunch (make reservations as they get busy, and the location is smaller than their other locations). We had no problem finding street parking, but I would recommend you factor in time to find parking when visiting here. Our server was a bit inattentive and perhaps she had too many tables to juggle. We had to ask her questions and recommendations about the menu, and we eventually settled on the "Orange You Glad" drink, the Brussels Sprouts, the High Bank Deluxe Burger, and the Spicy Chicken sandwich. I don't say this often about vegetables, but the brussels sprouts was the star of the meal. The crispiness of the brussels sprouts and the sweet chili sauce was a great combination. Both the sandwich and burger were huge portions and tasty as well, and the sides of fries were also delicious. The drink was also refreshing and a nice complement to the spicy chicken sandwich. This new location adds to the charm of Uptown Westerville, and we can't wait to come back and try out other options here. read more

Service was alright, the restaurant was very busy and loud. I ordered key to your heart and end of anxiety cocktails. End of anxiety was good, I didn't care for key to your heart. Between my spouse and I we ordered fish and chips and the peppadew pasta. I enjoyed the peppadew pasta, the fish and chips looked great but were very high bread to fish ratio, majority was bread so that was disappointing. I would go back to try other things. read more

The new Highbanks is a probably their smallest location in downtown Westerville. It is located inside the old post office which adds a cool bit of history to it. The bar is a good sized with a good amount of seating. They have a small patio on the side of the building which will be great for people watching. To drink I tried the From Husk Til Dawn. It was very sweet and had a heavy corn flavor. It even came complete with popcorn! It was very tasty! read more

I have been waiting for this to open for so long! It's a super cool building and it was worth the wait! They had a great design and it was such a light and bright space. My husband and I went with our baby at/just before the lunch rush today and it wasn't terribly busy. Our waitress was the friendliest person I've probably ever encountered in foods service and although it took a little long to get our main dishes she was so friendly and attentive I didn't mind it. Now what you're waiting for... the FOOD. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts and omg were the good!!!! They had a sweet chili sauce and sweet potato shoe strings that were to die for. I was trying to figure out if I could replicate the recipe because it was so so good! Let me say, this pic does not do the size of the salad justice. I rarely think a salad is worth $14 big this salad was so big and was just PILED with cheese and Tortilla Strips. The dressing was great and I'm sure that if you add protein it'd stuff your belly full through to your next meal. My husband got the broccolini grilled cheese which of course I had to try and it had some heat and is NOT your mama's grilled cheese with the added pesto. Also, the fries were SOOOO good. read more

Staff was excellent! I was pleased with the cocktail choices. My hubby, a craft beer snob, said the beer selection was poor, with nothing dark at all.

This is a really neat location for High Bank. I always enjoy their drinks and food and this location was no exception to that. However- I do have to say it was a bit loud and echo-prone.

Food always comes out in a timely manner and you won't be disappointed with the balances menu options. read more
