    Our first visit to Hank’s won’t be our last. From the greeting, seating and welcome experience everything was stellar. Our service was excellent. We had 2 dozen oysters, a crab appetizer, my husband had the grouper and I tried a delicious seafood Al mondo? It was a fabulous Birthday dinner!

    We dined here for my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect! The service was fantastic and we really enjoyed talking with the Sommelier, Matt. He gave us some excellent recommendations for wine and was very knowledgeable and kind. He even shared some recommendations for wineries for an upcoming trip to Oregon. The carpaccio was delicious, the endive salad was so refreshing and yummy, and the pasta was great also. It was the best meal I’ve had in a while, and the service and ambiance were awesome. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I came to Hyde Park to celebrate our wedding and pregnancy. We loved the entire experience. The staff were beyond welcoming, friendly, and personable. The food was top-notch. The steak was perfectly seasoned and had flavor (unlike others in the area). This is our favorite steakhouse in Columbus. My only concern was with valet. Unfortunately, there were cars parked in the front which seemed to block our access to valet. We did not want to hold up a lane of traffic, so drove around a couple of times for it to open up - but ended up in a near by garage. Walk was yuck, but did not taint our experience in the slightest. Very proud of the service at this location yesterday!
