    Close walking distance to Ohio Theater with nice view overlooking Christmas lights in Columbus Commons. Met up with a friend for dinner before seeing Jon Stewart. Service was fast, food was hot and tasted great, atmosphere was friendly and lively without being too loud to hold a conversation. Great place to grab food if you're downtown for an event.

    We went to Alqueria for a date night and had a lovely dinner! A cool, unique space with great food. The menu changes often- we had a few appetizers (bread & seasonal butter, shrimp, and sweet potatoes) that were great, and a couple entrees (a broccoli & cauliflower dish that was a little pricey for vegetables, but was delicious, and a sweet potato/spinach gnocchi and duck confit dish). Overall, loved it and will be back!
