Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Upper Arlington

We had an as ilitely wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with our entire family. The service was on top of everything, the food was perfect for everyone, the mood was festive. Highly recommend!

This was our first time- we went as a group of 4. The food was amazing and the service was incredible. Alex was our server and she was absolutely perfect. What a wonderful evening- we will be back!

While it was approaching busy Christmas week we were seated right away. Given how busy the restaurant was, our server was very friendly and helpful. Because we were close to full with our appetizer, we asked to share the Veal Milanese. The kitchen split all parts of the meal and served us without problem. It was very good. We appreciated that there was no extra charge for sharing this main course. We ordered the Parmesan Green Bean appetizer. It was delicious except for too many chili flakes so tell the server how spicy you prefer!! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back.

We had a lovely evening with a nice bottle of red and amazing tapas. Our waiter was so wonderful, had great suggestions and perfect timing. I’ll be back soon!

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.
