Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Grandview Heights

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 had an incredible experience at Hyde Park Steakhouse in the Short North. ANDREW was awesome and provided great wine pairings and food recommendations. I highly recommend the Graham Rahal Steak or Steak Tressel, Potato Gruyère Gratin, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Lobster Bisque, and the Carrot Cake (even though Andrew almost sold us on the Butter Cake :) ).

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.

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!

Lupo is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and drinks are phenomenal. Their seasonal salads in particular are amazing. This time I had the seasonal poblano Caesar salad, which was delicious, and the seasonal burrata which was outstanding. The bacon wrapped dates are always amazing. Drinks were wonderful. Service is good.
