Restaurants near Shawnee Historic District

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!

Outstanding on every level. The bib salad was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the fillet and it was the most tender well cooked piece of meat I’ve ever had in a steakhouse. The sides were great too for dessert highly recommend that cheesecake. We will definitely be back as this is one of the best restaurants in Columbus. You get what you pay for and food and service was well worth it.

The food was well prepared our server. Noah was exceptional. He always filled our water glass and asked if we needed anything…… several times ………the prices were a little high, but overall the party that I was with was very pleased.

The food was delicious, wait staff was courteous and efficient. We really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, great cocktails. Otis Cochran was playing in the background, such a lovely evening.
