When you’re looking for a top notch dining experience in Columbus, you can’t go wrong with any of the restaurants in our Top 10 list. Some might have a bit more of a casual feel, and some are a little more formal, but every single restaurant offers quality service, atmosphere and most importantly, top notch food.
At the top of the list year year is Wolf’s Ridge Brewing, a Downtown brewery/taproom/restaurant that first launched in Fall 2013. While many local breweries are content with only offering food from food trucks, the owners of Wolf’s Ridge decided to chart a different course and developed a finer dining concept under Executive Chef Seth Lassak.
In the main dining room at Wolf’s Ridge, you’ll find a seasonal rotation of small plates and entrees, in addition to a chef’s tasting menu and weekend brunch offerings. The more budget conscious diners won’t need to seek out an alternate option very far away though. The back end of the building is home to the Tap Room, which features a lower-priced-yet-still-high-quality selection of sharables, plates and snacks, complete with a kid’s menu.
