    Had a wonderful experience for our first visit to The Capital Grille. We were seated in a side room and really enjoyed the noise level as it was quite moderate. Everything was well prepared and the service was on point with Tacuma being our main server. He was the perfect amount of helping when we needed him and disappearing when we were dining. We also enjoyed his sense of humor and he suggest the steak I enjoyed which was the bone in filet. Black garlic crusted and the temp was a perfect mid-rare. He also brought me a glass of wine with my steal which I thoroughly enjoyed. We started off with the tuna tartare fantastic fresh fish and wonderful presentation, my wife then enjoyed her beet salad and French onion soup which she declared the best in the city. With my steak we also enjoyed the potatoes augratin and creamed corn both very tasty. As for dessert, we shared a brûlée cheesecake with an amazing fresh strawberry sauce and fresh berries. All in all a wonderful evening. We will return.

    We both ordered lobster thermidor and it was excellent. I had ordered flowers for the occasion and they were on the table when we were seated. Very impressive. The service was impeccable. Just wish they would put the lobster Thermidor on the regular menu.

    Hudson 29 is a standout in Columbus’s dining scene, offering a refined yet approachable atmosphere with an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. From the moment you step in, the warm lighting, modern decor, and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable meal. While the menu offers a well-curated selection of steaks, salads, and fresh seafood, the pan-seared blackened scallops steal the show. These scallops are absolute perfection—expertly seared to create a crisp, caramelized crust that locks in their natural sweetness while the blackening spices add just the right amount of smoky heat. Each bite is rich, buttery, and melts in your mouth, balanced beautifully with a velvety smooth sauce that enhances the dish without overpowering it. Beyond the scallops, Hudson 29 offers a strong selection of wines and cocktails to pair with your meal, along with consistently excellent service. Whether you’re looking for a date night spot, a business dinner, or just a place to treat yourself, this Cameron Mitchell gem delivers every time. If you’re a seafood lover, do yourself a favor and order the blackened scallops—you won’t regret it.

    Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!
