The chophouse 614 is now Santos. They've kept certain parts of the chophouse menu but it is quite different now. The service was very good. The ambience is a bit over the top -- pink chandelier over the bar, and there is a dance club next door. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for--I didn't mind it, but I was in the minority :). The mussels were okay but were tremendously under seasoned and even after adding much needed salt, they remained just okay. They came with cheese bread and honestly it made the dish unnecessarily heavy and made it difficult to dip the bread in the broth. My wife and I shared the 16 oz ribeye -- it was cooked a perfect medium rare, but the meat itself was chewy and gristly, not what you'd expect from USDA prime. The saving grace was the side of Brussels sprouts -- they were excellent. In terms of drinks, I really liked my dirty martini (with vodka and olives with blue cheese). read more

Came to visit our daughter at Ohio State and she was craving something fancy and this place definitely fits the bill. Restaurant is stunning, very beautiful inside. This is a 'special occasion' type of place as it is very pricy. But the food is definitely reflects the atmosphere, pricing and service because anything we tried was very good to excellent. In no particular order - burrata (very good), truffle pasta (excellent), fish of the day - cod (very good), crispy rice (good, but wouldn't order it again as there was nothing special to it), wagyu meatballs (very good but didn't taste any different than regular meatballs), 3 appetizers - crispy brussels sprouts, broccolini and truffle fries (all were good to very good). Definitely worth going once, if you have credit card to pay for it (restaurant does charge 3% transaction fee. You would think at these prices and these type of restaurant, they would not do it but...) read more

Visited the chophouse for a second time while visiting Columbus. This is your must go to spot. The ambience is fabulous with the neon lights and the crushed velvet seating. The bar is amazing. The food selection is great and everything I ordered was just fabulous. I had a glass of the Oberon Cabernet. It was so good. The wait staff was so professional and knowledgeable. I had the octopus and deviled eggs and spicy crab salad for a starter and then the blackened salmon for my entrée. Everyone was very happy with their meals. I'm sure this place is amazing for Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve or any time for that matter!! if you haven't gone treat yourself and go. read more

Used to be a fav spot of mine, but it's never opened anymore. Turned it into a club and it's open for certain random parties only. Not on any sort of schedule. Rich people with too much money taking up a prime spot in the Short North - waste of space. read more

food: 10/10, I will dream about the truffle pasta for as long as I live. friends said the lobster mac and cheese made them believe in god. drinks: delicious, although the martini was a lil nauseatingly sweet. vibes: this is where it loses a star or two. the staff were very kind, waitstaff were attentive, but it was kinda loud. we were 6 girlies celebrating a birthday and it was reallly hard to hear anyone talking, that was the only thing that I would change. I'll definitely be back for that pasta though. game changer. read more

The vibes are immaculate. The music is upbeat yet not too loud, the bar is stunning and the valentines balloons are one of a kind and such a great statement. We ordered the rainbow roll and the Mac and cheese plain. The sushi was fresh and perfectly balanced. The mac and cheese was creamy and the rigatoni noodles were great. I love the option to add lobster and/or truffle. We are heading to Privé later, it's a good late night spot to check out for drinks. A great dish to share! Chop is lovely, the staff and kind and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. read more

So, I actually want to give 3.5 stars, but I don't think that's an option. I went to Chophouse for a Girl's Night Out/birthday dinner and we were looking for glamourous and fun. They definitely delivered on that front. The food was very good, but the service was kind of scattershot, bouncing between great and kind of off. The restaurant is very buzzy and glam inside, lots of white marble, velvet banquets, and touches of hot pink lights and art work, along with funky fake trees. Pretty much just what you want for a fancy night out! It is also rather dark in there, so sorry about the photo quality! I arrived first, and though there is a small sign stating that incomplete parties will not be seated, they took me through to our table right away. One of my friends arrived later and was seated at a different table where she sat by herself for about 10 minutes until she came to find the rest of us - I guess our seating assignment had been changed at one point. Our reservation had included a note that we were celebrating a birthday and I was asked to point out the celebrant when she arrived. We had a 7 PM reservation and were there until well after 9, and did not feel rushed to leave at all. For cocktails, I had the French 75 and my friends both had the Orchid Martini. I loved mine, it was fizzy with a sugared rim and just a little sweet. We ordered a round of starters. My favorite was the Firecracker roll, a huge sushi roll with spicy crab and tempura shrimp. Soy sauce and chopsticks are offered, but do not come with the rolls unless you want them. My friend had the Urban roll, with, I think lobster and waygu sliced on top. I preferred mine, but she enjoyed it! We also tried the burrata salad, because, burrata. It was very good, with big chunks of tomatoes and microgreens. For dinner, I actually stuck with the starter menu and ordered another Firecracker roll! I also tried the truffle fries, which were good, but not my favorite. We had an order of the lobster macaroni and cheese and the chicken breast entree as well. Everything was nicely plated (in spite of the dark pictures!) and we enjoyed it. Finally, my friend got a birthday treat - a sparkler in a champagne glass and an order of strawberries topped with whipped cream and filled with Ketel One pureed with strawberry. I thought they were lovely, a cute presentation and I love strawberries with cream. I saw about 5 of those things go out, so I think a lot of people were celebrating that night! Our server, Lauren, was excellent. She hit that balance between letting us relax and making sure we were taken care of. But there were several glitches that were a little awkward. After we finished our starters, another server came by and bussed our table. Completely. They picked up our unused dinner forks and knives and disappeared. When our entrees were dropped, we didn't have chopsticks, forks, knives, or the condiments we had requested. When the final entree dropped, we had to remind our server that we needed utensils. Before we got our entrees, a third server came over with a plate of deviled eggs and a little tray of the whipped cream strawberries and bent over to put them on our table. We hadn't ordered either. As he was standing back up to take them away, one of the strawberries fell off of the tray and landed whipped cream side down, on the chair where my friend had put her phone, right on the charger port. He was very apologetic, and we weren't terribly upset (mostly laughing) but then we were left to clean up the sticky phone mess ourselves with wet wipes from my purse. Overall, we had a lovely time, and I will say that it was getting busy as it got later, but for the overall price of the experience, the service was not quite up to par. We enjoyed the food and the cocktails and the overall ambience, though! read more

We stopped by Chophouse 614 for our 5-year wedding anniversary this past winter and had a great time! The ambiance and decor is absolutely romantic and what I would expect for an anniversary dinner; however, being seated at a high-top table was not the most romantic (although we were seated under the tree by ourselves). We started our night off with some drinks (Pinot Noir and Sidecar) and spiked strawberries. The spiked strawberries are so darn good! We have had them previously at Urban's Pinthouse which is why we chose to get them again here. We then enjoyed a Firecracker sushi roll. My husband and I both really enjoyed the sushi roll. For my main entree, I went off of our server's recommendation and got the Filet Oscar with crab instead of shrimp. Bad decision! I was not a fan of the crab on top. It tasted like mush - not like you would expect (sweet chunks of crab meat). The crab did not go well with the filet mignon for me - definitely stick with the jumbo shrimp if you order this. Especially for $70. My husband really enjoyed his ribeye though! We got the whipped potatoes and truffle lobster mac and cheese for our sides. Both were so creamy and yum! While we definitely enjoyed ourselves, the drinks, the food, and the service - the prices are a bit overpriced - I believe our entire bill was close to $300. So - just beware if you do decide to swing through Chophouse 614. read more

Don't waste your time on this "Hollywood" facade of a restaurant. Don't let the "Glamor" of this place convince you into emptying your wallet for no reason. If you want to be "high class" I expect a "high class" experience. Having a dress code, yet allowing employees to gaff off and wear sport team hoodies and hats at the bar... Why have the dress code at all... "Ignore the bad reviews, we're under new ownership" This was the opening conversation to a horrible experience. $17 for oily, over cooked calamari. $58 for a filet ( you can get cheaper and better prepared anywhere in the city ) $98 for "wagyu filet" this actually made me laugh. My GF and I left after the appetizer and drinks. She put it: "They bejeweled everything, even the menu" The only positive aspect to this place: Happy Hour 4-6pm Monday-Friday The drinks were made well. Don't waste your time. read more

Well first off service was great. Our server was very attentive and on it. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures but we tried a few cocktails that were good. I tried the crispy rice and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts were amazingggg and they give you a very large side. I guess justifiably since they cost $12. My date got the filet and mashed potatoes that he enjoyed. Overall they have a very wide menu and service is great. I'd maybe be back if I feel like splurging. read more

Had dinner on a Saturday evening to celebrate the engagement of my brother in law. The lobby was full of people so it seemed like a bustling place. The ambiance was absolutely gorgeous, perfect lighting for an intimate evening and to take pictures. Now on to the food and service.... My Husband and I ordered a few things from the menu: Appetizers: Seared Octopus $22 - delicious! Perfectly seasoned and had a good balance of potatoes, veggies and octopus. Recommend Calamari $21 - your typical calamari, batter and dipping sauce that came with it was ok Entree: Lamp Chops $46 - under seasoned, no flavor. Caesar Salad with grilled chicken $21 - basic Caesar salad that you can make at home, chicken was unseasoned Dessert: Red Velvet Cheesecake $12 - hardly classified as a cheesecake. It consisted of layers of red velvet cake with whipped cream. It was stale as if it had been sitting out a while before being served. Food was in conclusion was very disappointing, especially at the price point that it was Service: Our waiter did a great job in the beginning of the night but as the evening progressed, he practically disappeared and was out of sight. We spent the last HOUR at the restaurant waiting to get the check, pay for the bill, and to get the receipt. At one point, someone from our party had to grab him as he was seen socializing with other staff. Bottom line: Come here for drinks and apps during happy hour to take cute pictures with the decor. Otherwise, don't expect much from food or service. read more

Had a great time with my friend for our girls' night. Our server was great and super helpful with answering questions as first-time patrons of the establishment, and everything was delicious. Some things are a bit pricey, but if the rest of the menu matches the quality of sea food we got, it is worth it. Will be returning when I can make a trip to Columbus again. read more

Went there last Friday to treat my parents to a special dinner and Chophouse did not disappoint. We tried the calamari and deviled eggs for the appetizers and my mom could not get enough and ate almost all the eggs herself. :). Our entrees were the wagyu filet, ribeye and truffle pasta. Everything was absolutely delicious and wagyu filet just melted in your mouth. Also, the service was impeccable! Definitely my go to spot now. read more

The atmosphere is really cool, and lovely. The servers were friendly. The theme is confusing though. It said Mexican comfort food but there was nothing on the menu like that. It was mostly Italian American food, with some Japanese beef and a couple Asian inspired appetizers. Plus they played contemporary country music the entire time, which was not expected . It was quite expensive, and honestly the food was mediocre for the price. read more

Santos614 - Lobster mashed potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This was my first time here. We had a party of 5 for an early dinner before a show. Sort of a cool modern urban vibe. A bit gaudy, but it works. Had a drink at the bar before our party arrived and the drinks were very good. We were then seated...in a booth that should have no more than 4 people. 3 grown adults in one booth doesn't work for these booths. We asked to be moved to the table right next to us and we're told that they couldn't because it was "saved for VIPs". Keep in mind this is Columbus, Ohio. Ok, no argument from us, we need to order and get food so we can get to the show. The service was fantastic otherwise, from hostess to bartender, then our waiter was simply wonderful. We ordered 4 apps that were all great. Then our meals came and everyone was happy. I had the osso bucco over risotto. The meats was tender but needed a bit of seasoning. The risotto had wonderful flavor but was just shy of al dente. I know risotto can be tricky but when it's crunchy it dodnt quite get there, and for these prices it really should be right. That said, everyone else had noting but good things to say about their fish, steaks, and pastas. Then midway through dinner the VIP table was seated next to us...it was a family if 4 with 2 kids that looked like they've never seen a hairbrush or a bar of soap, haha. VIP my ass. Haha! Overall not great, but not awful and I'd like to give them another try. read more

Great, drinks, atmosphere and service! The food is rather expensive for the quality.

The inside is beautiful and elegant. Just a fair warning this place only accepts one payment for the party. Might be a good idea to establish at the beginning who that person is. The devil eggs are amazing, the calamari was divine. For my main entree I had the lamb chops. They were good as well. Price is a little high but worth the try! read more

Would give this place 0 stars if the option was available. I attempted to postpone a birthday dinner reservation due to a death in the family and her funeral being the day of the dinner. I inquired about this reservation change early last week. I was told I'd hear back about my reservation being approved or denied soon. When I first made the reservation I was told the day of that it was approved. I have not heard anything back. I've called TWICE regarding this reservation and was told Friday I'd hear back on "Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday" of this week...it's very inconsiderate how Chophouse 614 management treats someone who is willing to spend money in their establishment. I have yet to hear back about this reservation and am now scrambling to find a new restaurant for my birthday dinner. read more

Overall rating is a 4/10. Quality doesn't match the price. Bruschetta is $20 and only give you 3 pieces of bread and if you ask for more they'll charge you without telling you. Got the seafood bucatini and it was just spice and no flavor. The atmosphere is nice but other than that I wouldn't come back. Also for some reason trying to get someone's attention seemed like a hassle. read more

Went there for my girlfriend's birthday dinner recently. I'll start off by saying the food was okay. We got mozzarella sticks as a starter and I was surprised at how good they were. Unfortunately, the steaks were over-cooked and chewy. The reason I give it a lower rating is because it is trying to do too many things. It is trying to be a high class restaurant, a club, and a sports bar. It doesn't do any of those things well enough to warrant a $200 meal. The furniture is very night club-like. There is a cheap chandelier and neon signs- not something I'd expect from a high end restaurant. I found it strange that I was sitting next to a neon sign and the bengals game while drinking fine wine. The tables are also very close to each other but are very long. I was closer to the person at the table next to me than I was to my date. So there was no privacy. We also sat 2 feet from some bloggers who Instagram-lived their entire dinner. I would not go again. read more
