Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Upper Arlington

Food was amazing as always, and the happy hour deals are the best! The server was kind and the kitchen staff were very careful and conscious of food allergies in our party. We’ll be back!

Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city. 

I had the pleasure of dining at The Avenue recently, and I can’t praise our server, Yusef, enough. From the moment we sat down, Yusef made us feel welcomed and truly valued. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and thoughtful recommendations elevated our entire experience. He and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect — from the timing of each course to making sure our drinks were always topped off. Yusef’s genuine care and exceptional service turned an already great evening into something memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant and their fantastic team!

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!

Hank's Low Country Seafood and Raw Bar is a true culinary gem that transports you straight to the heart of Charleston, SC. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complements the delectable dishes on offer. The service is impeccable, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The menu is a celebration of Lowcountry cuisine, featuring fresh seafood, hearty comfort food, and classic Southern sides. I was particularly impressed with the bone-in pork chop, which was cooked to perfection and paired flawlessly with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. The collard greens were an absolute revelation, showcasing the true essence of Southern cooking with their rich flavor and tender texture. If you're a fan of authentic Lowcountry cuisine, Hank's is an absolute must-visit. It's a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality, taste, and service that they've chosen to expand to Columbus, Ohio. We're incredibly fortunate to have such a remarkable dining experience right here in our own backyard.
