Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Grandview Heights

I went here with a group of my girlfriends for our galentines and it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff we interacted with just so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to allergies and gave us all the GF options! It was an amazing first experience, and we will definitely be back again!

Great food, great service, great experience! It’s always tough deciding what to order at Z Cucina, but you’ll always end up with something delicious no matter what you end up choosing. The menu changes seasonally, and I’d highly recommend checking out the seasonal options whenever you visit, but the goat cheese and sundried tomato ravioli remain a favorite with me and the guests I’ve taken there. The service is wonderful, and the dishes are pretty reasonably priced for the portion and quality you receive. Overall, highly recommend visiting if you live in Columbus or if you’re visiting the city.

We both ordered lobster thermidor and it was excellent. I had ordered flowers for the occasion and they were on the table when we were seated. Very impressive. The service was impeccable. Just wish they would put the lobster Thermidor on the regular menu.

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.

Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!
