Restaurants near Crowne Plaza Columbus - Downtown

Good food and great atmosphere. Only negative was our server disappeared after the mains came out. Had to go to the bar to get more water and ask for the check. Otherwise was great.

My partner & I came in for dinner before a show. We were seated next to a family & asked to move a table down to a more isolated table which wasn’t a problem. My cocktail was the Venetian Sunset (perfectly fruity and delicious). I ordered Branzino which was phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly and the potatoes on it were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious. My Partner got the Lamb Pappardelle, which she enjoyed but said was well seasoned (a teeny tiny bit too salty, wishes she had more noodles to balance out the sauce but I just gave her some of my potatoes instead which worked out nicely. For dessert we ordered the Lemon Cassata which was elevated and delicious. It reminded me of lemon bars but even better with the layers of cake and lemon. We loved it and left full. Our server (Our Server, Eric, burned his hand serving the Pappardelle from the hot pot & we thanked him for his sacrifice of comfort.) Eric was an amazing server, wasn’t overbearing and allowed us to enjoy our meal in peace. Would definitely return!

Michael took very good care of us. He was attentive and very versed in the menu. They do sushi better than any steakhouse I have been to. The tuna app pictured was great. The pork wings pictured were great. Steak Burrow is spicy, perfectly cooked, and high quality steak. Wish they had a store in Detroit!

Hostess was helpful and friendly. Bartending was on point. Ambience was warm, cozy, and welcoming. Music selection was noticeable and added to a great vibe. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and technically proficient. Chef La Rocca was gracious, and was attentive to his guests. He and his kitchen staff take obvious pride in their craft. The end results…from appetizers thru dessert…were delicious! A little “Pura Vida” right in downtown Columbus!!

Excellent, grown-up, adult ambiance offers exceptional views of downtown Columbus. Menu featured craft cocktails and small plates. Service was very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Perfect choice for a date night or a special occasion. Suggest you make reservations and definitely consider the "experience" option for seating with prime views of the city. Stories is definitely a "must-do!
