Best Date Night Restaurants in Northwest Columbus

Excellent meal. Devils on Horseback is amazing. Overall a positive experience

Valentina's has easily become one of my wife and I's favorite places to go out to dinner. No matter what time of year, there isn't a bad seat in the house. The food is always perfect, servers always knowledgeable and make great suggestions when asked. At the end of the day, the food and service is what you expect at the price point you pay, worth it every time!

First time there for Valentine’s Day. Really enjoyed our meal. Excellent food and service despite the fact that it was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. Gallo‘s kitchen and bar serves high-quality food in a casual atmosphere. Staff is extremely friendly. It has an unusual mixture of continental Italian and New Orleans food. We had the gumbo for a starter, which was excellent as was the rest of the meal, steak for myself and lamb chops for my wife. Excellent experience. Highly recommended we intend to go back.

We were up in Columbus for business on this. Valentine’s Day could not think of anywhere better to spend it than the Avenue with the best waiter in the city maybe even the state Matty. If you’re looking for service beyond approach, then this is where you wanna be and this is the person you wanna ask for

Hudson 29 is a standout in Columbus’s dining scene, offering a refined yet approachable atmosphere with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. From the moment you step in, the warm lighting, modern decor, and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable meal. While the menu offers a well-curated selection of steaks, salads, and fresh seafood, the pan-seared blackened scallops steal the show. These scallops are absolute perfection—expertly seared to create a crisp, caramelized crust that locks in their natural sweetness while the blackening spices add just the right amount of smoky heat. Each bite is rich, buttery, and melts in your mouth, balanced beautifully with a velvety smooth sauce that enhances the dish without overpowering it. Beyond the scallops, Hudson 29 offers a strong selection of wines and cocktails to pair with your meal, along with consistently excellent service. Whether you’re looking for a date night spot, a business dinner, or just a place to treat yourself, this Cameron Mitchell gem delivers every time. If you’re a seafood lover, do yourself a favor and order the blackened scallops—you won’t regret it.
