Best seafood boil I've had in Columbus!…read more Kai's Crab Boil is hands down one of my favorite seafood spots in Columbus. The gumbo is fantastic and honestly some of the most authentic I've had here in Columbus. It's packed with flavor and really stands out. Their shrimp and crab with the garlic butter sauce at a medium heat level is absolutely incredible. The seasoning and spice are perfect, and paired with their cornbread... OMG It's SO good! The service was great, and the ambiance was really nice too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a seafood boil with authentic Cajun/Creole flavors, I definitely recommend Kai's. Everything we had was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

AWFUL SERVICE AND A EVEN WORSE EXCUSE We deeply apologize if this policy was not clearly communicated to your party by our hosting staff upon your arrival. It is never our intention to make our guests feel rushed, and we regret that the reminder from our management came across as harsh or selective. This limit was applied to all tables that day so we could honor the reservation times of waiting guests.

This visit, I met up with a friend who lives in Old Worthington, and naturally this was our choice. There are lots of good food options around, but Worthington Tavern has a great patio, good service, delicious food, and is a solid choice. I made a reservation via OpenTable. Definitely recommended during lunch and dinner rushed. My friend got caught up with a work emergency and was running late, but there was no issue with me hanging out until she arrived. We hadn't caught up in a year or so, so it was great to sit outside on the patio and enjoy lunch and catch up. I had the Mezzaluna Ravioli with seasonal mushrooms, shallot, thyme, brie cream sauce, and fresh grated Parmesan. Delicious! Recommend this completely and might be my favorite dish I have had here. My friend had the Baby Iceberg Wedge and added grilled salmon. Kudos to our server, Emily. Service is always good here but she was exceptional and added to the visit. 5 stars this visit! Food, service, and atmosphere were on point!

I was blown away by my experience at Worthington Tavern last night! This was my first visit, and I…read morewill definitely be back. We had a 7:30 reservation and were seated on the front patio. There are three different areas to sit: the back patio, inside, or the front patio. All three areas are beautiful, and the overall atmosphere was such a chill vibe. Our waitress was a little slow, and it was sometimes difficult to get water refills, but it seemed like she was one of the only servers working, so I completely understood. My friend and I split everything we ordered. We started with the smoked chicken wings with blue cheese and celery. The wings were delicious, although the celery came in very small, thin pieces. I would have preferred actual celery sticks. We also ordered the Honey Brussels Sprouts, which were my favorite dish of the night. They were so good and definitely something I would order again. For pizza, we got the Caprese Pizza with homemade pizza sauce, fresh-sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze. It was absolutely delicious and tasted very fresh. We made our reservation for 7:30 so we could stay and listen to the live acoustic guitar player at 9:30. That ended up being a little late for us, so we moved inside to watch him perform. It was a great way to end the night. Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience at Worthington Tavern. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed, and it would be a great place to come with a group of friends. I will definitely be back!

They had a nice bourbon selection, including some exclusive single barrels. I was able to try a River Roots pour and it was very unique. Would definitely get it again. The stand out was the lamb shank. It was perfectly and I mean perfectly cooked. Tender is underselling it. Just a touch of gaminess on the finish which I absolutely love. I would get this every day on a cold night and be thrilled. Well done!

We've visited about 6 to 10 times over the years because we really want to love this place, but…read moreevery visit seems to come with a minor hiccup--whether it's inconsistent food or subpar service. On our most recent trip, the kids had the best experience. While the kids' menu is small, both of mine enjoyed their burgers and fries, and the cornbread appetizer was great. I ordered the steak sandwich (similar to a Philly cheesesteak)--the flavors were above average, but it had clearly been sitting under heat lamps too long because the cheese sauce arrived congealed on top. Our server also forgot my drink order, so the service was just okay. Overall, it's disappointing because the potential is definitely there, but they just can't seem to put everything together for a seamless experience. Probably 3.8 stars sadly but I rounded up.

I added bacon and it left the perfect pairing of perfectly cooked egg, chives, cheese, and thicker sliced bacon chunks. I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte, and the chocolate fudge cookie to go. The service is fantastic. They have outdoor, indoor, and some community style bar seating. You order at the counter and then a staff person will bring your food to the table. There are soda and water machines available for self refills. Everything was delightful and made for a nice treat yo' self brunch.

Northstar is in our regular rotation of places to eat when we can't decide what to eat. It has a…read moreclean spacious modern vibe. I use vibe intentionally here as it seems like the kind of word this place requires. All the servers wear black t-shirts, which is, you know, a vibe. But you are not here for vibe recommendations, you want to know about the food. Sure, but one more thing, this place can be busy, but it also has some gigantic tables inside and out so if you have a larger party, it might be a good choice for you. Typically if you have a smaller party you will end up at the opposite end of one of these tables from some other people vibing along with you. Chill, it's fine. Food. Yes the reason you are reading this. I'm almost there. However, I would be remiss not to mention that you order at the counter when you come in. The menu is simple, but if you have anxiety about deciding you might check out the menu online before coming. Alright, the food. So I have eaten here dozens of times over the last seven years and never had anything bad. I have sampled across the menu and salads to burgers, it is solid and in some cases great. The food is fresh and hand made to satisfy. Tonight I had the veggie enchiladas and they were top notch. Another favorite of mine is the Buddha Bowl, but you also can't miss with a burger which tends to get messy. They have a soda (pop) machine that is self-serve and features regular cola and root beer alongside a cream soda and birch beer. The vibe at the soda fountain is decidedly bubbly. Alternatively, they have a small but well-curated offering of beer and wine. The best thing? Once you have eaten this real food meal and feel chill AF you can step next door to Jeni's and get some ice cream. There is no vibe quite like that.

Don't do that very often. The inside was nice too. Good music playing, nice bar area. I will be back.

Ok the taste - I'm not a huge okra fan. But these fried little morsels were spiced up and hit the spot- hubby loved his salad while I munched down my chicken and waffles like - you know - stat!

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 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.
