Restaurants near Hocking Park

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 love Cooper’s Hawk and have dinner here a couple of times a month. The food was excellent as always, however our server was exceptional tonight! She provided great service and was very personable! Her attention to detail and service were the best we have experienced at any restaurant in a long time!

Our drinks, the calamari appetizer and both meals were excellent. The wait staff was very good and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and we will be back.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was fun and made the event special. The food was awesome!! We had the Love Clutch, Shrimp, Butter Cake, and Brownie. So good!!! The shrimp are awesome to say the least. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special.

We had the best Server, I apologize I can’t recall her name. But she was super attentive, patient and gave my kids Lobster necklaces! We will definitely be back!
