"My company recently had a celebration at The Loft, a green space restaurant. We had an open bar with appetizers and dinners. The event was perfect! The room was spacious for the number of people attending, clean, smelled great, and the food was delicious. The staff, especially the waiters and the two bartenders (I forgot their names), were fantastic. They allowed me early access to the room to go over table placement, special cocktail suggestions, and use of their A/V system. If you are looking for an affordable location for your next meeting, party, event, etc., look no further than The Loft. You will not be disappointed!"

"I'm new to the area, and have been making my rounds to all of the pizza establishments locally. Decided to try out Giovanni's during a weekday, around 1pm. When we arrived, there was no one there. We ordered some garlic knots and a pizza. Atmosphere was good, but the wait time I thought was too much. The garlic knots took approximately 25 min. Once they came out, we could tell they were fresh, and actually tasted great, but the wait time was confusing as we were the only ones there. The pizza came out about 10 min later. It was good pizza, I'll give them that. While there, the only waitress was nice, but I found it displeasing that she seemed to stay on her cell phone all the times me while at the bar. Overall, the food was good, but they need to work on wait times and appearance of customer service."

"This restaurant in Columbus is truly the best. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and all-around wonderful. They made sure to check on us, make suggestions, and greatly enhance our experience. The wait staff are not only good at their jobs, but they are clearly good people, which shines through in their work. We tried the bruschetta with goat cheese and pork with brown sugar, along with other delicious dishes, and it was a fantastic dining experience. The fried provolone was also exceptional. We shared a center cut filet, which was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife - it was exquisite! The steak itself was amazing, and kudos to the chef for letting the quality of the meat speak for itself. The sides of brussel sprouts and garlic fries were sensational, and I'm sure all of the sides are equally delicious. Despite enjoying some great wine, the prices for dinner were very reasonable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!"

"This place is a fantastic hidden gem in the area. I visited on Wednesday to grab some soup since I was feeling under the weather, and I had heard that this little spot outshines its competitors across the river, where I usually get my soup. I also ordered steamed dumplings, and both dishes were so delicious that I came back today for the Choo-chi salmon for myself and the drunken noodles (spicy Thai) for my boyfriend. The flavors and spice levels were just right. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu!"

"If you're in search of authentic homemade BBQ ribs, look no further! The ribs are delicious and incredibly tender, complemented by a satisfying BBQ crunch and served with a side of sweet homemade BBQ sauce. The coleslaw has a creamy texture, and the baked beans have a delightful BBQ flavor. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the service was outstanding—friendly staff ensured we received the correct order. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!"
