Elana's Kitchen + Wine Bar…read more If you're looking for a casual spot in the Canal Winchester area, Ella's Kitchen + Wine Bar is worth considering. Located in the Kroger Plaza on Gender Road, my wife and I have visited three times in 2026. As I am immunocompromised, we avoid crowds by going on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. The staff is cheerful, friendly, and attentive, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The menu includes great pizzas, salads, bar-style appetizers, and delicious FRESH smash burgers. There's a good variety of draft and bottled beers, and the manager is knowledgeable about wine, offering a nice selection. On live-music days, it can get a bit loud for us, even when we sit far from the music, but that's just our preference. The venue also offers a game room and a pool table for those looking to hang out with friends.

Definitely worth stopping in. The Vibe: Relaxed. The manager, Brian, did a great job breathing life into this place.

Missed out on taking pictures, but we visited coffee on high as part of the coffee crawl, and it…read morewas definitely our favorite place of all of the coffee crawl places!! Their menu (Food, drinks, desserts) is quite extensive! I got the French press, my fiancé a pour over and espresso shot, and my sister the French toast latte. The drinks were all high quality and the espresso was one of the best we've had in Columbus! I also ordered the chicken pot pie soup (I could have had 5 bowls, it was crazy delicious), and my sister got a half grilled cheese...which I took a few bites of and just loved. The service was exceptional as well, everyone was super kind and patient. The space is large and great to hang out in- I noticed a nice selection of board games, but as we came in at the last hour they were open, we didn't try any of the games. I'd come back here without hesitation, despite the 20 min drive for me. We're glad to have found a really special place!

Food is good. Never have a bad meal just sometimes doesn't sit well with me. We frequent here so you know it's a good time. Parking is mainly street around the corner. Town in small with local shops. Never been during evening times so keep that in mind.

I was super excited for this place, but I didn't even get to eat. On arrival we were told to seat…read moreourselves, 5 minutes later we were told someone would be with us soon, so far so good. Then we waited for 20 minutes. We didn't even get menus. Two tables were seated after us and were already ordering when we decided to give up and try another place. I don't like assuming people are prejudiced. I want to believe our server just happened to overlook the one table of brown people because they're a teenage girl going through a hard time. So that's what I choose to believe. I just hope the place shapes up, because someone else might not have taken it as well as we did. On the bright side, the staff seemed friendly (when we left, two servers near the entrance told us to have a nice day) and the dishes at the tables around us looked really good. I hope to come back and successfully try that chicken noodle soup someday

Mrs. E's favorite sandwich shoppe. We finally found one!…read more Outstanding iced tea and lemonade. Together one of the best make shift Arnold Palmer's you can make. Their bread is wünderbar! Light crispy outside, warm, soft, chewy on the inside. Today we split a large chicken teriyaki sub, mushrooms on my half. Drank a couple of incredibly sour lemonades and a small fry. A very good Potato fry, at that. They have plenty of tables and gender specific restrooms. There's a huge parking lot, so unless it's a major December holiday shopping weekend, I'd say parking is a cinch! 06/24

It's important to me and my family to support local businesses and finding such a wonderful coffee shop has made that beyond easy. We go in very frequently and are never disappointed! The drinks are always perfect (and they use Crimson Cup, another local company). The weekend breakfast options are fantastic every time, the cold case options are all delicious, and the baked goods are beautiful. I have literally never left without a smile on my face because it all hits the spot every single time. Probably our favorite part about stopping into Joe Vino's is the team. We adore them and look forward to seeing them most mornings. They are huge part of the reason why we can't help ourselves from going multiple times a week! Thank you, Joe Vino's for existing! We love supporting you!

I had been here with my wife, but totally forgot to post about this place . I then brought my…read moredaughter here after school, to enjoy some time with her before college comes around. Totally chill vibe inside, customer service is very friendly, and the cleanliness is nothing but spic n span. Wings are legit, very saucy, and definitely a choice not to pass up on. The burgers are where this place really hits on. The reason it's very delicious is because this place doesn't go on too fancy of a presentation for a burger. Simple is best, and this burger doesn't stuff you to where you can't breathe, but hits the spot satisfactorily. The pizza is a pizza, my daughter is very simple with cheese pizza's being her go to choice. Overall, I like this place, as I said, very chill inside, and definitely a great spot to enjoy the outside atmosphere patio setting and enjoy a beer.
