    Pomegranate martini
    Yolanda G.

    Stopped in during a rainy night and was promptly seated. The server was very attentive and helpful. The pomegranate martini was exactly what I was looking for. It paired well with the mushroom ravioli. The decor is gorgeous and great 80s music playing in the background to go with it. The cheesecake was delicious. Great place to stop by for are in the area.

    We made our first trip here today. We made a reservation for 2pm and it really was not necessary. The guy who seated us said really not necessary between 1:00 and 4:00. The bartender waited on us. He took our order and made me a Pink Diamond cocktail and brought my husband a porter. The porter was not what my husband wanted. He wanted the Hoster's Eagle Dark from the menu but they were out of it. I ordered The Rock Filet and along with that came a petite salad, I chose spinach salad. A side came with it as well and I chose the house veg which is zucchini, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower. The house veg ended up being a throw away as they were undercooked and underseasoned. The steak came out to the table sizzling and 3 sauces came with it. He said it is best to cut the steak in strips to cook it on the stone. I cooked mine medium rare and it was excellent, so were the sauces. My husband had the 14 oz ribeye and it was cooked right and good as well. He liked his garlic mashed potatoes also. I ordered an Espresso Martini and creme brulee. I like a harder burnt sugar crust on my brulee but it turned out to have really good flavor. We would go back.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch bite after attending a retirement party for a former employee of mine. Hadn't been to this gorgeous restaurant for a while & already want to come back in again! Such beautiful artwork, hand carved wood, gold guilt, & stained glass throughout! All of my old favorites on the menu - had this delicious chicken penne today in a diablo crème sauce. But I ansolutely must revisit right away to have the "rock filet" - which is an amazing steak that you personally cook at your table on a tulikivi firestone. It's a singularly unique experience.

    We went on a Monday night. The building and decor was amazing. However, the waitress was so straight faced, kinda a vibe killer! (100%) But gave some decent common hater banter. Another customer sat down and the first thing she was was "kitchen's closed btw". Not a hi, not a blink.

    Steve was my guy! He was excellent, great recommendation, funny and even laughed at my non funny jokes about absolutely nothing. Now let's get into it! I started with Baked Brie- it was good wouldn't say it was amazing or I would order again. Just wasn't for me! First course I had a wedge salad- delish and clue what their dressing is but I loved it. Third course was an Elevator Club- 10/10 so great! Very filling and huge, side of mashed potatoes that was outstanding good. I didn't even use salt and pepper oddly enough. I'll probably order another one sometime this week to go lol. Dessert was carrot cake, again another delicious dessert! Flavors is there! Larger then I expected but given the price point it was prefect size. However I would order without the berry/purple sauce that comes on and I would ask for them warm it some before receiving it. Maybe order around entree time and let it sit under heat lamp. Cold cake is the worst, in my opinion of course! The only thing I would say needs work on is the speed of drinks, had a very long time for both rounds of cocktails. Other then that thanks for an wonderful experience! You rock Steve and good luck here in Columbus!

    Our experience was better than anticipated. We arrived early for our reservation and were able to be seated right way. This dinner was special, a birthday and a rare trip to the "big city". We followed the host to our table. A beautiful private balcony with a single table that overlooked the restaurant. I'll be honest, I don't even know this table existed, but it couldn't have been more perfect for our occasion. We felt like royalty with a couple cocktails and the rock filet which is a must have experience if you love steak like we do. I think the experience would've be good either way, the building is historic and you can feel that just by being there, however the fact that we got to experience it in the way that we did made even more special. Thank you guys for a perfect evening.

    The Bar Vibe

    Art Deco Style Restaurant and Bar in a Historic Building. While in Columbius for a conference, we were looking for a spot downtown to host a dinner for staff and customers for our last night in town. I chose the Elevartor due to it's menu and proximity to everyones hotels and the conference center. This restaurant had an ideal menu that I know everyone would enjoy. The Bar was a great place to have a drink or two while waiting for everyone to arrive. There was enough seating and a Big screen TV to captivate our saport fans in the group. Once everyone arrived, we went into the restaurant and sat at a long table that we had reserved. We started by ordering several apps for the menu for everyone to try. My favourite was their take on Poutine. The Elevatoprs poutine was drenched in brown gravy and topped with cheese curds on a bed of fresh and piping hot fries with braised beef thrown in to enhance the flavours. I started with a serving of Wings and then ordered their 'Steak on a Stone', a 6oz beef tenderloin served on a firestone, with assorted sauces for you to dip the sirloin in. I let my tenderlion cook about a minute on each side and had mine medium rare. The service was great, and all of the food came out in a timely fashion. We tried several cocktails and local craft beers to wash all of the food down. The group left happy, tipsy and full, and we all agreed that we had a great time. I will go back again one day.

    Chorizo meatball appetizer (chef's special)
    Heithem E.

    Went for a presale dinner in this historic restaurant. I had their signature, Steak on a Stone. You can order a beef tenderloin, with or without seafood (scallops and shrimp). It comes out raw but sizzling on a very hot stone. You cook it as you like. It comes with 3 dipping sauces, a small salad, and choice of side (you can substitute the salad for a second side). I thought it was delicious! It's subtly seasoned, so next time I'll add my own salt & pepper or ask them to season it a bit more. They have a nice selection of beers and wines. Service is excellent - they teach you how to safely cook your food on the stone and answer any and all questions. Atmosphere was fine - busy (there was a hockey game that evening) but not too loud.

    Salmon
    Katie N.

    Made a reservation for Thursday evening date night, but didn't need to because there wasn't another table in there, which was odd. So clearly service was very attentive. And the food was wonderful! I had the cabbage chickpea meal which is vegetarian and gluten free and was delicious. My bf got the salmon and loved it. Nice drink selection, including an old fashioned on tap, and lots of beer. Their red ale was great. It's on the Columbus ale trail and I've always enjoyed stopping in for that, but was really pleasantly surprised by the dinner. It's a lovely building, could use some updating on the decor but would definitely have dinner here again.

    This is on the brewery trail with Discover Columbus so we stopped here for a beer. The bar tender was very helpful and entertaining. She was full of trivia about the building which used to be a 300 table five story billiard hall. The place is now a restaurant with a very large bar. The bar is beautiful. The restaurant has nice art work but feels very dated. Cannot attest to the food as we just stayed for drinks. The Mexican lager was good, maybe not as good as other one you find at near by breweries, but still decent.

    This is such a cool spot! This is an old theater repurposed. They kept a lot of the original woodwork and stained glass etc. We really enjoyed checking it all out. The bartender was very helpful and attentive. We looked at the menu, but the Indian restaurant on the corner was calling for us. The food looked good though. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

    Sauerkraut Balls
    Demetrius B.

    You definitely feel the history of being in Columbus' second oldest building the moment you walk through the door. Excellent, vintage decor from the doors to the floors to the bar, itself. I had a couple of beers for happy hour (thumbs up for the Elevator Dark Force Lager and meh for guest pumpkin beer on tap). The sauerkraut balls were top-notch good, and the mustard dipping sauce made a great thing greater. The poutine was a faithful adaptation to the dish in terms of how the core ingredients (fries, curds, gravy) tasted. Elevator's version added braised beef and green onion which complemented and enhanced the flavor. It's good in its own right, but I'm still thinking about those sauerkraut balls. Extra props for the service, too. Our server Katie took good care and seamlessly handled our gift certificate when it was time for the bill. The experience was very nice.

    Crab cakes

    The Elevator has been one of my go-to lunch spots downtown--just a short walk from my office. I usually order the almond-crusted chicken salad, which is always fantastic: fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. After raving about it to my partner, he decided to take me there for a dinner date, and it didn't disappoint. For dinner, he ordered the crab cakes and I had the lamb fettuccine. Both were amazing. The crab cakes were packed with real crab (no filler here!) and came as three thick, generous portions--definitely great value for the price. The dipping sauce was a perfect complement and added a nice tang. The lamb fettuccine was a standout. The lamb was tender and deeply flavorful, and the whole dish had a rustic, homey feel. It's definitely on the heavier side, but in a cozy, comforting way--not overwhelming. I'd absolutely order it again in a heartbeat, though I'd probably save it for cooler weather--it's not exactly a summer dish. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or sitting down for a cozy dinner, The Elevator delivers on quality, flavor, and a great downtown atmosphere.

I believe there might have been soooome seasonal outdoor seating, but nothing crazy. Lots of parking and easily accessible. The bartender was super welcoming, friendly, and generous! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't super busy - that was welcomed! Hoster is worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Their brews rival the big names in the area.
