    Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp
    Samantha A.

    Came here on Christmas Eve. It was very busy, but we were seated immediately, as we had reservations. Can't say enough wonderful things about the staff. Everyone was in a great mood and very attentive. Difficult to do on a busy holiday night! I wish I got our server's name, as she remembered everything from extra ranch, to extra tartar sauce & sour cream. The margarita flight and mango martini were a nice surprise. Great balance between fruit and alcohol. Our biscuits took awhile to come out, but our server was great about communicating that with us. When they did come out they were very fresh! The coconut shrimp and seafood stuffed mushrooms were both fresh and delicious. The shrimp linguine alfredo is a classic. It hasn't changed since I last got it, about 8 years ago! Perfect comfort dish!

    Birthday card from the staff

    The staff was amazing and catered to our birthday girl beyond expectations! Not only did they provide a birthday sundae but a card signed by the staff. From the time we arrived, the staff was welcoming and kind. The food was flavorful and fresh. Drinks were filled the entirety of our meal. Overall 10/10 service and experience.

    My husband and I used to come to this location mutliple times after we first got married for date nights, so we wanted to reminsce and returned after nearly a decade. I must give a shoutout to the staff from the hostess to our server, super friendly all across. We were acknowledged from the moment we stepped in and our server checked on us throughout the meal. As far as the restaurant, I think the interior could use some rejuvenation. As for our meal, we left satisfied. The cheddar bag biscuits still hit the spot. I got the shrimp trio. I asked for two porions of the coconut shrimp and one of the shrimp scampi. I thought they were delicious. My husband got the salmon bowl. He said he enjoyed it and the salmon was cooked nicely. Overall, a nice dinner and I wouldn't mind coming back again.

    I'm a fan of Red Lobster! The cheddar biscuits are always good even though ya gotta tell yourself not to eat too many! We came on Mothers Day weekend and it wasn't even busy! Albeit it was Saturday and Mother's Day was the next day. It was just before 3 and we got seated right away. A good amount of families here and there, but it never got packed. My mom got the New Orleans salmon while my sister opted for the shrimp and lobster tacos. I got coconut shrimp. Everything was delicious! Seasoned well and all that. I also got a Caesar salad and mashed potatoes on the side. Wasn't a fan of the mashed potatoes but the salad was fantastic! Not as good as Texas Roadhouse's but pretty solid. For sides, my mom got rice and broccoli while my sister got just broccoli. My sister said her broccoli was salty. Great service! Again, they weren't that busy so our server checked on us quite a bit. I don't come to Red Lobster often since eating seafood out is kind of a treat. But I'm sure I'll be back at some point!

    Bar Harbor Lobster Bake

    I was hungry for some decent seafood. Decided to try Red Lobster again since there aren't a lot of seafood restaurants close by. They really were not that busy, but had a wait. The hostess said our wait would be 20 minutes. I could see available tables in the restaurant. One couple asked about sitting at empty tables in the bar area but were told there was no service there. Took right about twenty minutes to get a table. Half the restaurant was in use. The issue was more they didn't have the servers. I ordered the Bar Harbor Pasta Bake with a house salad. The house falls is basically iceberg lettuce with a slice of onion, tomato, a little cheddar cheese, and homemade bread crumbs. Simple. There is nothing to particularly write home about. Lots in the pasta bake, however! It had petite Maine lobster tail, shrimp, petite Bay scallops, mussels, and some diced tomatoes on a bed of linguini in a garlic and white wine sauce. Sauce was VERY heavy on the garlic and butter! I enjoy garlic, but this was a lot. Service as well as food coming out of the kitchen was pretty slow ... might be another reason why having to wait on a table. We weren't in a hurry, but the whole dinner time took well over two hours.

    First time eating at this location. Inside and outside was very clean. Staff friendly-our server Jamie was the highlight of the visit. She was very attentive, friendly, and provided 5 star service. I came in grumpy at my family and her pleasant attitude immediately improved my own. Now to the food-I regret that I forgot to snap pics before everyone started eating!! My sister enjoyed her $20 crab special (Tuesday's only) meal with brussel sprouts, my brother enjoyed his fish & chips meal. We also ordered crab dip, bbq chicken flatbread, and mussels. My meal was cajun chicken linguine. That was a mistake because it was horrible. Nothing cajun about it. Not sure if I have the right to complain about a crappy chicken dish served at a seafood based restaurant though, lol. I gave three stars because the majority of our party liked their meals.

    Cheddar Bay Biscuits

    The biscuits here are so dangerous. You eat one and before you know it, the whole basket is gone. Freshly made and extremely delicious! I built my own entree with scallops and salmon with broccoli and green beans for the sides. The salmon was well seasoned, but seemed like it could be cooked for a tad bit longer. The scallops were super yummy, especially in the butter! I was too full for dessert, but I definitely want to try the Key Lime Pie next time. The wait was a little longer than normal, but given Covid restrictions, it's no biggie. Our waiter was pretty chill too. I left feeling stuffed and satisfied!

    Went here for our anniversary. And everything was fabulous. You get so much food and we were stuffed by the end of it!! The lobster rolls and lobster bisque was great. I got the triple shrimp trio dish and my fiancée got the Harbor bake linguini. Service was also great and our server was always coming to us asking us if we needed anything even though he had like 10 other tables! please keep in mind that the service industry got hit hard by covid so be sure to show that in your bill!

    Salad loaded with dressing, cheese and croutons. Only 2 biscuits, norm has been 3 or 4 but can't complain. Always on a diet.

    I drove up to the northern part of Metro Columbus to give this chain one more chance and it was worth it. This quality of food is what I have been use to for over 30 years. Started with the salad, perfectly made with extra French dressing and even more cheese than I normally get. The biscuits was just the great balance between crunchy on the outside and done on the inside. I ordered the same lunch Grilled shrimp, wild rice, and broccoli. When it came out, there was plenty of correctly cooked rice, GREAT looking broccoli seasoned just right, and shrimp with grill marks. Enough of each to take half home. None of that great BBQ sauce, but my server suggest their Asian Ginger sauce which turned out to be even better. Only had 2 biscuits brought to table, but that helps the diet since those are addictive. Got an order of shrimp potstickers to take home but no fiery sweet chilli sauce. Too hot for me. That and my doggy bag from lunch rewarmed well. Server brought a bag without being asked unlike the location on Georgesville Rd. How could 1 site be so awful and another being the great as the norm?? Regional manager sleep at the wheel or does the general manager at Georgesville connected to a higher up. Curious minds want to know!?!?!?

    Biscuits, fresh and hot.

    Top 5 restaurant in central Ohio. Well deserved. Nice menu, but your choices are limited. I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done. Our Old Fashion had a nice taste. The place is very small and reservations are a must. The GM Michael came by and chatted us up...to thank us for coming, and glad they were able to accommodate our food needs. Nice touch. Excellent bathrooms. Thanks for that. Be prepared to spend $100 per person. Welcome to the Columbus culinary scene.

The small cozy atmosphere was a delight to enjoy a wonderful meal and conversation. The drinks were exceptionally great and since I'm coming from California, very affordable. The food was delicious, especially the braised beef croquets, chicken friend mushrooms, whipped ricotta, and sourdough. The pork collar and the tare squash were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I requested the sommelier to recommend a wine that would compliment our order and the Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf - du- Pape a fine French wine from the Rhone Valley was our selection. This was a beautiful bottle and fine selection. John, our server was the perfect gentlemen and server with great personality and full of customer service.

    Came here with my wife for our date night due to the Yelp reviews. Pleasantly surprised. Restaurant…read moreis VERY clean, interesting menu with a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches & entrees. I had the Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. Salad was fresh with perfectly cooked chicken that was tasty. My wife had the pork carnitas bowl, which was a healthy portion and delicious according to my wife. Two Rivers has been open two years, which is amazing as we weren't even aware of it. According to our waitress, they hear that a lot. They do take reservations, but it really wasn't needed. A mix of high tops, tables and a nice bar. Bright airy interior and a covered exterior patio.

    This was our second visit to Two Rivers as a family of four. Overall, I do like this restaurant and…read morereally hope the best for them as service has always been friendly and efficient and the food is generally good overall. The key issue I had during this past trip was ordering the Yaki Udon noodles. If they would have just called this dish "Asian noodles", I wouldn't have had such an issue, but the noodles are basically Italian linguini in an Asian style sauce. If dish is called Yaki Udon Noodles, I don't think it's asking too much to expect to get Udon noodles. To me it would be ordering "gnocchi" and getting penne pasta... okay maybe a stretch, but still - the title item should be on the plate. I get chefs should be able to have their own take on dishes (I do this myself), but the way it is listed on the menu should be changed. My wife and son both enjoyed the three cheese tortellini, so at least that was worth it. My daughter ordered chicken fingers, fruit, and fries off of the kids menu and it was a nice children's portion for the price. Again, I hope to return eventually, but likely not soon as I'm hesitant to trust this menu.

We had a cousin in from out of town and met up with him and his coworker. My partner picked Cap City due to the brand reputation and food. We made a 1:30pm Lunch reservation via OpenTable. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. Inside was immaculate and inviting with an upscale vibe. The food was, of course, delicious. The overall service was slow and it was a smaller table for four (we should have been in a booth) so the pacing of the dishes were off to start. Rolls didn't come to the very end because we had apps and then main dishes. When I had asked about the rolls, as I thought they forgot, I was told they just had not been out yet since we did not have room on the table. Also, we weren't really attended to and didn't see the server hardly at all, with long times without being checked on. That's the easy summary on service. I am sure it was an off day for the server or just the time of day. It wasn't terrible just below expectations for the price point. Back to food, my partner and I started with the Blue Cheese Chips, I enjoyed the Meat Loaf Dinner, and he ordered the Eggs Benedict w/Crab. Rolls at the end. We found street parking on Riverside but there is a parking garage near the front entrance. This really should be a 3 star review with the service aspect but going with 4 as the entire party enjoyed every bite. I would recommend and the food and company made the lunch!

The honey butter melted right into them and made them even better. For my entrée, I had the fish and chips with fries and coleslaw. The fish was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and cooked perfectly. The fries were hot and seasoned well. The coleslaw wasn't my favorite--it had more of a vinegar-based flavor, and I prefer a sweeter, creamier slaw. Madison was my server, and she was super sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. I'd definitely come back for the biscuits, fish and chips, and the excellent service.
