I’ve been eating Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) for over a year. SOW Plated offers several delicious dishes that fit my diet. Relaxed atmosphere, conducive to conversation, and delightful menu make this restaurant a great choice.

We planned to eat after the OSU basketball game and had reservations The game went to overtime and we found we would be late. We called to delay our reservation for 6 people and and the staff was very accommodating. The food was delicious and service was excellent.

I went here with a group of my girlfriends for our galentines and it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff we interacted with just so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to allergies and gave us all the GF options! It was an amazing first experience, and we will definitely be back again!

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!
