    This has become my new favorite spot! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally check it out but now I’m hooked. We celebrated a late Valentine’s Day dinner here on a Sunday night and there was live music…and our server Erica was lovely! The food was amazing and I am so impressed with the wine list. We will be back asap. ◡̈

    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

    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.

    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.
