    The happy hour menu cannot be beat with value and variety. I brought three friends who have not been and they all cannot wait to come back. Got the agedashi tofu, edamame (chili soy), gyozas, red dragon roll, and a few other rolls from the HH menu. The regular menu is expansive and very good as well. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I came to Hyde Park to celebrate our wedding and pregnancy. We loved the entire experience. The staff were beyond welcoming, friendly, and personable. The food was top-notch. The steak was perfectly seasoned and had flavor (unlike others in the area). This is our favorite steakhouse in Columbus. My only concern was with valet. Unfortunately, there were cars parked in the front which seemed to block our access to valet. We did not want to hold up a lane of traffic, so drove around a couple of times for it to open up - but ended up in a near by garage. Walk was yuck, but did not taint our experience in the slightest. Very proud of the service at this location yesterday!

    This is where my boyfriend and I chose to eat as our first meal in Columbus, Ohio! It did not disappoint. We had an 8:45 reservation, but went early and sat at the bar to have a drink and a couple of appetizers. We ordered the steak tartare and the oyster mushrooms. The steak tartare was fresh, cold, and had your classic tartare flavor. Texture was great as the meat wasn’t over minced. The mushrooms were “calamari” style and came with a couple of dipping sauces. The truffle aioli and the tomato fondue. I do wish we had more bigger bites of the oyster mushroom. We were fishing for them on the plate. Once at a table (we asked to be moved in order to accommodate the addition of friends also flying in — which the staff kindly and graciously accommodated us) we ordered the lampchops with the vegetable fried rice. I do believe this was by far the best bite of our evening. Definitely a must try. For our entree, we ordered the agnolotti and the sea bass. The agnolotti was flavorful with a generous amount of lobster! The seabass was cooked well and the light broth it came with was delicious. We ordered broccolini as a side dish which also didn’t disappoint We’re excited to come back to try more menu items!

    First rate dinner and service. Thomas was an excellent server and even created a low alcohol drink for my wife. Had the bone in ribeye and definitely one of best I’ve ever had - excellent char and medium rare which not many places do well. Wife has the streak Rossini and we also enjoyed the godfather sushi roll. Made to order donuts for desert were fabulous.0
