I wasn't obsessed with the blue cheese at first because I like mine a little stronger, but once I paired it with the sauce that came with the wings... chef's kiss. Together they were so good. The real star of the meal though? The jalapeño corn spoon bread with the honey butter. BABY. It was sweet, savory, buttery, and had just the right little kick. I will absolutely be ordering that every single time I come back. My friend tried both the baked oysters and the fried oysters, and she said the baked oysters were the winner because they had so much more flavor. Overall, such a cute spot with some really tasty food. The spoon bread alone is worth the visit. 8.8/10 Also Alex was our server! Super cute and fun she was the best!

While there are plenty of fresh seafood options on offer, I went with my go-to favorite: fish and chips. The service was impressively quick--food arrived boxed neatly and everything was piping hot. The star of the show was the corn-dusted fried pollock paired with fresh-cut fries. Absolutely delicious. It came with a nice pickle spear, a lemon wedge, and something listed as "tartar sauce" that turned out to be a from-scratch remoulade packed with herbs. It was a standout touch that really elevated the meal. Will definitely be returning next time I'm at North Market.

Did you recently get a new golf shirt? Maybe a new pair of Dockers that you desperately want to…read moreshow off? The Columbus Fish Market is the place for you. The first thing you need to know is that the Columbus Fish Market is NOT a fish market. It is an upper middle class seafood restaurant. It has all the trappings of a country club restaurant which is to say, comfort reigns here at a slightly elevated price. I can't really complain, our server was sweet and attentive. The manager checked on us. The food was tasty, the drinks were very good. I don't know it was just... nothing special. Let's put it this way, a few weeks ago I was in Ocean City, MD and we stopped at a crab shack where they put paper on the table and we ate like Neanderthals who just discovered that crabs were edible. We made the kind of mess that only long married couples with kids can make. Crab shells and shrimp tails were flying. That meal lives rent free in my brain. Damn it was good, but I digress. See there are places you take family, and places you take a first date. The crab shack is for family, The Columbus Fish Market (still not a fish market) is where you take a first date assuming she is not allergic to seafood. The ambiance just lacks character and charm in an inoffensive way. As Shakespeare once wrote, "nothing is either good nor bad, but thinking makes it so" and I am not sure even thinking can move the needle on this place. Did I mention it is not a fish market? Ok, ok, the food. Yes, I got the Cajun swordfish and a little gem side salad. That followed the spicy crispy shrimp appetizer. All were very good. I recommend the shrimp if you end up here. The Cajun swordfish was well seasoned and only ever-so-slightly overdone. It was good, to be sure but a minute too far. The sear was great though, crisp and flavorful. The little gem salad was a great compliment to the main. I love a good salad. I also tried my daughter's Caesar salad and my wife's tomato, bacon, Bibb wedge salad. Skip the Caesar and get one of the others, especially if you like a good Caesar. Overall the food was very good and I should probably give this place four stars. I dont know, I'm feeling salty. Drinks, drinks, drinks. My daughter recommends the berry lemon drop. I got a Sam Adams which was one of four or five bees on tap. Four or five. The wine list was extensive so do with that what you will. Pretty good for (not a) fish market. Finally, finally, finally. What the hell is the name of this place? Mitchell's Seafood something-or-other comes up in searches but the sign says Columbus Fish Market. "There are no spare customers." -Timon J. Fertitta (owner) Google him.

When it got darker later in the evening, it was a decent view. I did like the fire place which is right in front of where our table was located. The server informed us of the items that were about to get 86'd which was the prime rib so I had to put my order in immediately. The table got a variety of things from a salmon dinner to a burger. The best looking item was the lobster mac and cheese. There was a whole lobster tail in there! My prime rib was okay. The au jus was mid and didn't add much to the meat. The carrots and mashed potatoes were great. The caviar seafood dip with chips were very bland. I didn't taste anything but the crème fraiche. My friend ordered the Buckeye Pie for dessert which he loved. Said it was a 5 star dessert. The timing of the food was off as people were halfway through their mains when others came out. I waited until everyone got their food leaving my prime rib cold. Got a tequila cocktail which was served in an interesting mug. Kind of made it hard to drink from. All and all, the restaurant was okay but not my first choice for a group dinner.

I ordered the ceviche on happy hour (very clearly stating this intent to the waitress). It was ok - fresh but not very flavorful, most of the flavor was onion and a small amount of lime. It was small bowl amount, not a ton at all- had I been hungry going in I would have still been hungry after. It came with a very large plate of chips that were a little odd? Almost stale in texture. But the kicker was when I got the bill the waitress had charged full price. When I pointed out it was on happy hour she said she would talk to the manager but then came back and said since I got the full plate and not the happy hour plate brought out they couldn't adjust the bill. Despite not ordering that/having no context for it (also very curious how small the happy hour plate could have been). Finding parking is a CHALLENGE- especially with all the construction. Not fun and not the safest area. Overall a poor experience compounded on itself.

Great flavor and a large enough portion so that's all I had. Wish I was able to try more food dishes. It was packed on a Wednesday night so had to get a spot at the bar.

My take on the restaurant…read more Brussels Sprouts: 10/10 - as good as it gets! I couldn't imagine better brussels sprouts it was crispy but also soft in the center so you didn't have to fight your way through eating them even good restaurants. I have good flavor and good sauce for brussels sprouts aren't as soft as these ones. This was great. Lamb chops: 6.5/10 - very sweet small lamb chops! Cooked well and had good flavor I just wasn't personally blown away. The Clover Club: 9/10 - knew exactly what I wanted. Had Monkey 47 which is the BEST gin for this drink. Wasn't the best one I've had but pretty close for it not being on the menu. Filet: 7/10 - a little Gamey but it was cooked well as it should be. Didnt have anything unique about it just was don't like a filet should be done. The carrot was cooked to perfection which brought her review up. The fried potato was also amazing best part of the whole dish, especially with whatever spread they put on it. The fillet was not the highlight the carrot and the potato were. Sea Bass: 1/10 - genuinely did not taste good very gamey very fishy took two bites didn't eat it. The soup it came in was a little sour not a good flavor would not recommend. Hamachi Crudo: 3/10 - we are sushi snobs so take this with a grain of salt. It could totally be something that you love, but I hate when somebody brings out a piece of Nigiri or sashimi and it's warm. This dish has potential the flavors around it were very fresh but the hamachi was room temperature when it should be ice cold and the flavors felt like an after thought. Menu: 4/10 - nothing to write home about when it comes to the options. A very corporate get what you expect type restaurant. They aren't doing anything revolutionary here Atmosphere: 7/10 - definitely a nice spot. It's very clean bathrooms are intimate and also very clean again. Nothing revolutionary here the demographic when we went was very old and corporate. Price: 5/10 - $340 plus idk... I feel like this was worth $180-$220 personally for the price I never complain about price anywhere I go out to eat, especially fine dining, but this place was overcharging for what they're actually giving for sure. Overall: 6.5/10 - I would recommend this place to someone who doesn't really care about Food that much and is wowed by like an STK or a more chain like "fancy restaurant" I was hoping to get more of a small boutique very intentional experience at this restaurant just based on the outside by the field, but it definitely feels like they've cut a few corners when it comes to building a really unique food experience I would love to come back and give it another try because maybe I just came at an off time. Majority of people will give us an eight out of 10 rating.
