Best Historic Restaurants in Upper Arlington

The food was absolutely delicious, every course. Our server was amazing, very attentive and gave great recommendations! The lobster linguine and duck were our favorites. Amazing flavor and truly a great value! We will be back

Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city. 

I had the pleasure of dining at The Avenue recently, and I can’t praise our server, Yusef, enough. From the moment we sat down, Yusef made us feel welcomed and truly valued. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and thoughtful recommendations elevated our entire experience. He and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect — from the timing of each course to making sure our drinks were always topped off. Yusef’s genuine care and exceptional service turned an already great evening into something memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant and their fantastic team!

Lindy was an excellent server and really connected with us and our needs (also tasted the white Malbec with me for both of our first time, which was super fun!). The environment was really lively! My husband thought it was a little on the loud side but I just saw a lot of happy people in a warm, colorful environment having a good time. The food was extremely well prepared, beautiful presented and very balanced - we hadn't had this perfect a dining experience in a very long time and hope to come back within the year to use the secret envelope we were given at the end of our meal. Barcelona surpassed our expectations and I will be singing its praises for quite some time.

Our server was absolutely slammed but still attentive. Great food, great drinks, great vibe, great prices. Totally underrated Columbus restaurant!
