Restaurants near Dorrian Commons Park

Everything at Butcher & Rose exceeded my expectations. My fiancé and I went to celebrate our 4th anniversary and upon arriving at the table there was a cute notecard saying happy anniversary. From the person who was refilling our waters, to our actual waiter and even back up waitress everyone was so extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as this was our first time there and had valuable recommendations. The ambiance was nice and felt the price for everything we ordered and the experience was worth the money. I plan to come back again.

Seated on time. Calm interior, quiet conversation. No background music to be shouted over, which is a big plus, especially if you have hearing aids! Service was attentive. Espressos were admittedly forgotten by the wait staff, which was otherwise excellent. Once she was reminded, it appeared quickly. Onion soup was hot, cheesy and delicious. Risotto notable for superb combination of flavors. The half portion was generously sized. Cheeseburger was actually cooked medium rare, as ordered. Nice to have selection of several sides not just French fries. The sesame bun was toasted perfectly. Traditional condiments required special request as no ketchup or mustard was offered or presented. Main dish was served as we were still eating our soup. They had great Cole slaw! Beverages of the alcoholic type were diverse and apparently satisfying. The dessert menu looked marvelous, but we did not partake of its offerings, choosing espresso instead. One of my criteria for a good restaurant, having a functional pepper mill on the table (and salt), which was on the table when we were seated. Check! The bread items were freshly made and artisanal. The basket arrived automatically and was not added to the tab. Lighting was subdued. Atmosphere was warm, cozy and relaxing. The menu was creative but not off-putting as there were items familiar to most diners, as well. It is nice to be able to select the size of ones entrée, obviating the need for leftovers unless one is a fan of leftovers. Thoroughly delightful experience! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus! I will return again soon!

We had a wonderful experience at Hank’s last night. It was our first visit but will not be our last. Our server, Alexander, could not have been any more helpful and professional without being intrusive. We loved Alexander. I had She-crab soup as did my wife and it was superb. I had the shrimp and grits and my wife had scallops which we found to be excellent. When Alexander heard it was my wife’s birthday, he brought us a humongous piece of carrot cake to take home since we were too full to have dessert there. Thank you so much for a fantastic evening.

Once again we had a terrific meal and evening celebrating two birthdays the special was outstanding. The chicken parmesan was as usual one of the best. Our server, Gregory was outstanding. Can't wait for birthday celebrations as we will be back soon.

Great space for a work get together! The staff is very helpful and accommodating! Food is delicious!
