    Lemon chicken soup.
    Caroline C.

    This place is... weird. I've never eaten anywhere with such a complete and utter absence of atmosphere/ambience. We sat in the dining room, and were the youngest people there by about twenty years. It was pretty busy for 6.30 on a Friday but there were absolutely no young people/families at all, just a roomful of Seniors quietly muttering into their food, and shuffling around. There were no tvs, just a terrible 80s soundtrack featuring, among others, Elton John, the Beach Boys, Crowded House, The Bangles etc. This was punctuated by the loud and obtrusive "DING DING DING!!" of the bell in the kitchen when orders were ready. I can't really explain it, but it was all so so strange. And the decor was beyond boring. Anyway, the food. They serve really nice pita bread but there are no complementary dips/spreads. My Greek salad was big, fresh and filling, and the dressing was nicely tart and tangy. His chicken lemon soup was decent - nice big chunks of dark and white meat, subtle lemony flavor, but the orzo thingies were really mushy. The entrees were disappointing. The meat in my gyro was bland and not authentically Greek in any way. The fries were from a bag. The coleslaw was so thin and watery it was like it had been pureed. He ordered the Greek Style Grouper with a side of green beans. The fish was decent but VERY greasy, and for $17 it should have been plated much more attractively. It was seriously below average. And to add insult to injury, it was $35 after tip and tax!! Imo, save your moneys, and go to the Big Fat Greek down the road.

    First timer here! I heard rumors that the aged frequent, but also that the food is a cozy mix of Greek and American home-cooking. Both were proven to be true. Fortunately though, the restaurant is split in two: a cafeteria-like side and the florescent lit bar/restaurant side. The later is where my friend an I choose to sit...obviously. Spiro's is interesting. There are a handful of tv's broadcasting the popular sporting event of the night, but there was no music. I'm grateful that my conversation was pretty in depth. I would not recommend Spiro's for a first date. Kate was our server on Thursday night. She's actually a friend of mine, but I'm not going to complement her for that reason. But she is very attentive and detailed with her specials and menu descriptions. Good at recommendations too! I've read the the hummus is the best in the city, sorry, but I disagree. It was good, yes, but not the best. It's a roasted red pepper hummus, which makes it unique to other Greek restaurants, but I will always rank Jimmy's V's #1 in my book.

    Though I haven't eaten there at any other time, if the food is half as good as the breakfast sandwich you can't go wrong.

    Burgers and beef for the order of the day at The Rail!…read more Of course, other menu options are available, but beef selections are well prepared, succulent, and if that is your style of food, this is the right place for you locally. The Rail in Grandview Heights is one of the offerings for restaurants that have popped up since the development of Grandview Crossing. It is a welcome addition to the area and offers dining. That is a step up from simple casual or fast food. It has been my experience at this location. Reservations are not a necessity. However, I always recommend calling for reservations or making them online. A table reservation simply leaves less to chance. The staff are friendly and helpful and accommodating customer needs. All of my experiences here have been pleasant and high-quality.

    We ordered takeout from The Rail for the first time since we didn't feel like sitting inside, and…read moreto save a few bucks. My hubby ordered the Bootlegger burger with the BBQ sauce on the side, and I ordered the Bonfire burger; we also ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer. I used Toast to order and was given a 15 to 20 minute wait time. Once we pulled into the lot for the restaurant we saw that they had designated spots for takeout, so we pulled in. It isn't 100% clear on their sign if you need to call them when you arrive; there is a number listed on the sign but that's it. So I called them to let them know we had arrived and the young lady ran our food out to us. It was smooth and seamless and we headed home. All of the food was hot and delicious! Nobody can make a burger like The Rail!! They are a little pricey; with tip, it cost $57.00. But you get what you pay for! We will definitely order takeout from them again soon. Next time I think we will just run in and snag our order since they have a convenient side door marked "carryout" separate from the entrance. Super convenient!!

    Great meals with philosophical friends (2 of 2)…read more Rarely am I in Midwestern capital cities with beltways around them, but I do have a few friends from years ago who do live in this city's suburbs. I once ate at their famed German restaurant with the lunch buffet and the extra cost cream puffs with an Italian-American friend who is sort of an Archie Bunker with an MBA. He provides the entertainment. The last time I ate lunch in C-bus with that good friend was before the pandemic. I believe that the lunch buffet has returned to that German restaurant, but I can wait to do that on some other trip. On this last go round, I met up for lunch with a different friend with whom you can discuss the human condition ad nauseam, which is somewhat of a good thing. It's a good thing because there aren't many people who are capable of doing that and who will engage in that. However, when you wrap up such involved discussions, you might feel a little overwhelmed for a while! I got to choose the restaurant ... from out of town. I didn't like the choices with which I was presented and the only area of town I really know is the Polaris area around Ikea. I looked up listings and recommendations. Chocolate Cafe' had two things under its belt from the get-go. It's a high scoring bistro-cafe that has a noteworthy breakfast and lunch following and it has the word "chocolate" in its name. It's in that area near the Barnes and Noble west of the big state university with its logo featuring a branch that looks like a marijuana leaf. I have since learned it's not a marijuana leaf. We ordered lunch, with one entree being a Cobb salad and the other being one of their club sandwiches, the latter of which was mine. It was very good and, as is often the case with me, I could have eaten a bigger sandwich. I went through it fairly quickly, even though I did have the small and cheap Swedish breakfast at Ikea that morning. With the entrees, we ordered bowls of their popular tomato basil soup, which really hit the spot on that cold day. To drink, we ordered house coffee and a hot chocolate. The house coffee is refillable while the hot chocolate is not, but that's standard protocol just about anywhere. With a name like Chocolate Cafe,' we did not order dessert. My friend left first and I stayed behind to look at the dessert case. I later caved in for a slice of their moist and rich chocolate fudge cake to take with me. Like I said, it was moist and rich ... and also very tasty and filling. The pricing here is standard and appropriate. The service was folksy and very attentive, despite their being full on a weekend approaching the holidays. The interior is bright because of the floor-to-ceiling windows around the perimeter of the restaurant. That really scores points with me. Lastly, upon pulling in, the parking lot was full and I had to park a short walk away, all the while paying attention to parking signs and rules. This implied that Chocolate Cafe' was most likely a good place ... and that was corroborated. I have never driven down I-71 into this city's center once past its beltway. I have doglegged and taken Highway 315 - the Olentangy River Parkway. At its top end, it winds a little and it's slightly scenic. As you start approaching OSU, all these different medical towers with different specialties loom over you ... from both sides of the road! It's similar to the feeling one gets when they drive past the Texas Medical Center south of downtown Houston, as in, "What a maze ... why so many damn medical buildings?" But that doesn't affect their rating. It's just a personal pet peeve. I'm going to go with 4.5 stars for Chocolate Cafe', which obviously rounds up to 5 stars. It makes for an interesting meal and experience and, while I would not repeat it like clockwork because of how rich it can be, I could definitely see repeating it if I lived in its general area. My friend said he would be coming back with family members. That said, you clearly see two seals of approval.

    Driving around the OSU area and wanted to find some local coffee. We had driven by the Chocolate…read moreCafé a couple times already and decided to stop in for a coffee. The store is so cute. There is decent parking and ample seating. We were just taking coffee to go, but it seemed like a great place to be able to meet with friends, get some work done, or enjoy a quiet moment. Our coffee was good. There weren't a ton of options for customizing, but the ones they had were great. We didn't get any of the signature chocolates to go (big mistake on our part), but the case was tempting. If you're in the area, skip the chains and head to Chocolate Café.
