Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Upper Arlington

Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

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.

First time here. We came in for brunch and we loved what we had. We had the she crab soup….delicious! We also had the crab Benedict and Buttermilk chicken. It was all really good! The only reason we left before having one more cup of the great coffee was the girl three tables down popping her gum. Not the restaurants fault, but we almost went over to her and asked her if she was enjoying her gum. Very nice place and they still have less than classy people coming in.

There are many steakhouses , but there is only one HYDE PARK DOWNTOWN. We have been dining there for many years, and have never been disappointed. We’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.
