Best Date Night Restaurants in Pickerington

Our waiter, Ray, was excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable. 5 stars for him. The food was absolutely amazing. My never gets excited about food or service; but she was blown away by this place. I have never seen her that impressed. Keep up the good work.

Had a great experience on Christmas eve. Dinner specials (handpies and fried snapper) and regular menu items we ordered were delicious as were the drinks. Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting columbus.

I recently dined at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. What truly set the evening apart, however, was the outstanding guest service. Our waiter, Patrick, was simply amazing. He was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. Patrick’s recommendations were spot on, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. I highly recommend Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. This is a place where both the food and the service shine brightly. We can’t wait to return!

I booked this restaurant for my daughters 17th birthday because I wanted something special. Wow did they come through! We had a reservation at 4:30 and when we check into our hotel room which was a block away we discovered her birthday dress was still hanging up at home an hour away. She forgot it since it wasn’t in her overnight bag. Long story short we got the dress but had called the restaurant to let them know we would be almost an hour late would we still be able to come. The gentleman who answered the phone said absolutely and her birthday won’t be spoiled on our end! Relief in that moment one act of kindness gave. We get there at 5:20 to a beautiful table, incredible service, and outstanding food. From me being able to sample a couple of the white wines and settling on a delicious one from France. To our steak being cooked perfectly medium rare and that peppercorn sauce amazing. The lobster was delicious, picked two sides which my daughter loves a good gourmet Mac and cheese this one was perfect! They even give a complimentary dessert and candle. Never did we have an empty water glass and the continuous staff was either wishing her happy birthday or asking if we needed anything. If you want exceptional service, amazing food and a great experience please don’t skip this one! They even made sure we had plenty of time to get to the nutcracker!

Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
