Restaurants near Marion County Fairgrounds

Eating out at 1808 restaurant is always a good experience. New menu, great apps. Great drinks. Sometimes it's too expensive for some people, but I enjoy it.also come on Wednesday to hear live music always a good time.

We had a wonderful lunch today at Tucci including a glass of wine, delicious flatbreads and a salad. I always feel like I’m on vacation in the beautiful four seasons patio! It is gorgeous even on a frigid winter day! Alli does a fabulous job running the show and always checks in with guests to see how their dining experience is going. She does this with a welcoming smile! I have always had the best experience with the wait staff as well! Can’t wait to go back!

I had lunch here with a friend and I have nothing but good to report. Our server was spot on with her timing at every step, the butternut squash ravioli I ordered was a winter miracle of happiness to eat, and the restaurant atmosphere was warm and cozy. Great job Valentina’s! I’ll be back and soon.

We’ve enjoyed dinner at Keep before a show at Nationwide Arena on two occasions now. It’s the perfect spot for pre-show dinner or drinks. Parking is convenient and inexpensive for event parking and it’s only about a 10 minute walk to the venue. Dinner at Keep last night was fantastic. We had a large party but were sat and served quickly. We had great cocktails and our table ordered the Cajun pasta, airline chicken, fried chicken sandwich, the burger, and the steak. Everything came out hot and tasted delicious. I wish I could remember our server’s name because he did a great job. Highly recommended!

Great service and food was good, liked the talapia. Portion sizes appear to be smaller, however, that seems to be the norm.
