Restaurants near Fayette County Museum

This was our first time here; we were celebrating a birthday. We usually do Eddie Merlot's or Jeff Ruby's for special occasions but have been disappointed in them our last few times out. Let me start by saying, we were very pleased with Butcher & Rose. Overall, food was wonderful and Jennifer, our waitress, was great. We started with Dirty Tots. Let me just say, these were awesome! We followed those with a bib salad and lobster bisque. Both were great. My husband and I have always wanted to try Beef Wellington. They have it on the menu and it was great. If I had to find something to complain about, the restaurant was a little louder than I would have expected for this type of restaurant but that is me picking. This will become our new place for celebrations. Would love to eat there more often but the expensive price tag prevents that.

Lindey’s never disappoints. I’ve lived in Florida for 30 years now but still enjoy going to Lindeys when I’m back in Columbus. Though it’s a nicer restaurant they haven’t gauged people with huge price increases over the years as so many others have. Don’t get me wrong it’s not cheap but no one expects it to be when visiting here. We went for lunch this trip and had the turkey Rachel which was fantastic. Don’t forget the glass of wine!

We went to the Chalet downstairs and it was awesome. Decorated like a ski lodge, it was a great atmosphere, and the cocktails were very good and unique. Our server Michael was fantastic. Highly recommend a trip here before the Chalet goes away until next Christmas.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Jeff Ruby’s in Columbus! From start to finish, everything was impeccable. Our server, Thomas, was outstanding—attentive, personable, and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was simply divine. We indulged in the Wagyu A5 and the Barrel Cut Filet, both cooked to absolute perfection—each bite was a testament to the culinary artistry of the kitchen. The Dover Sole was a showstopper, not just visually stunning but bursting with flavor. And the Pork Wings? An unexpected delight that added a perfect touch of creativity to the meal. Jeff Ruby’s is more than just a meal; it’s a masterclass in fine dining. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary experience!

Went for dinner on Christmas Eve. Had reservations and was seated on time. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Delicious food and great service. The food took a little while to arrive but the server let us know and kept checking on us. Food was delicious and hot. Definitely recommend.
