If I can give them 6/5 stars, I would. We didn't have reservations. It was prom night, there were at least 3 conventions or competitions in town, and they made sure we still got seated/gave us options and a game plan to get us fed. We were seated within 15 mins of arrival. Everyone was so kind. Our table shared the shrimp cocktail, and I had the 2 filet medallions with green beans and cheesy grits. The food was delicious. I found the shrimp super flavorful. They are prepared by weight, not numbers, so the shrimp count is between 5-7. The cocktail sauce was tasty. I ordered my steak medium rare. It was just over that, but still so tasty, juicy, and tender. The grits were a stand out! They were so good that our table got an extra side to share. Our server, Addison was such a personality and knowledgeable about the menu. Her service convinced me that I could trust her with basically anything. We sat outside, so we never got further than the threshold so I can't say I know too much about the vibe inside. However, there was great people watching, GREAT food, and great company. All around, probably the best place we ate all weekend. Thank you Addison for making our dinner great! read more

We had dinner here before seeing a show at the nearby theater. We enjoyed a couple of perfect cocktails with our meal, a old fashioned and my wife had a house "pretty in pink lemonade" Our server Ramone was attentive without hovering. The service was excellent. I ordered the classic cheese burger and she had the grilled filet medallions. We both ordered the soulful Mac and cheese. Both entrees were perfectly cooked and the Mac and cheese was tasty with a sprinkle of ritz crackers in the recipe. I would return here again. read more

Great ambiance, no need to wait for a reservation if you eat upstairs. They have live music on some days and the food was excellent.

We loved this place so much, we went back the next night. Best thing: both waiters were absolutely phenomenal--so attentive & anticipated our every need. Joshua & Walker - great job!! Food was delicious as well. I had the Chicken Wrap- delicious. The next night I had the lamb shank - melt-in-your-mouth tender and sooo flavorful!!! read more

The disappointment: The partially deboned Springer Mt. chicken got jettisoned from the menu. EVERYTHING ELSE: Really good. Can't beat those filet medallions. That reduction they slather the steak with is just about as rich and delish as you'll find on the planet. Call me silly, but I am so addicted to the mashed potatoes. And, how can one complain when this dreamy Pisces named Jake brings you food? Crystal clear blue eyes make the whole evening better! read more

The Loft - Me and David enjoyed the medallions! - New American Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

They had amazing service, the food was amazing and decent sized portions for the price you payed. They would always ask if we needed anything and they had amazing service. Food came out in 8 minutes and I was suprised read more

The house chips and dip are good. The buffalo dip with pitas are our favorite. My favorite dish is the unstuffed chicken

We stopped into the Loft twice on a recent visit to Columbus, both times snagging bar seats. Night one bestie and I came for dinner. I thought it was adorable when I inquired about the Georgia Peach Tea cocktail and our server said "it's really strong" and you have to "like Bourbon" SOLD! Not only do I like Bourbon, I LOVE Bourbon. Préférence is neat but cocktails are lovely too. If you, like me love Bourbon this drink is absolutely not strong at all. What it is, is delish!!! I had the southwest chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and their spicy rémoulade as a dipping sauce. My bestie had a chicken dish. I went for round two on their Georgia Peach Tea and brought my son for a round with me on a separate evening. Staff is friendly and food and drinks come out in a very timely manner. Highly recommend. Make a rezzie if you want to guarantee a table. I'd made one but we came at a different time both days as we were just doing our own thing so I released the table Saturday so we could just sit at the bar. Nice spot! Go for the George Dickel ;) read more

Stopped by for a happy hour. Lemon drop was delicious. Picked up some carrot cake and coconut cake to go. Both cakes were good. Carrot cake portion was massive plenty to share. read more

Went here for dinner Tuesday evening. The place is packed inside, and they had no tables, so we chose to eat outside on the sidewalk tables. We started with the smoked queso and tortilla chips appetizer. This was sooo good!! For entrees, I had the fillet medallions with sides of green beans and mashed potatoes and my wife had the Cajun seafood pasta. Medallions were cooked perfectly, except they were way over-seasoned. My wife really enjoyed the Cajun seafood pasta. Got a slice of the Icebox cake to-go and it was total Yum! read more

Stuffed fish, creamed corn, and greens were good, but all pretty basic. I'm sure I just ordered the wrong thing, but nevertheless, I expected a little more pizzazz out of something from a restaurant downtown. read more

I walked in with no reservation on a weeknight. I sat upstairs and the bar staff was very nice to me. The lighting in this place is very nice and makes for a great atmosphere to dine in. Most importantly, my filet mignon was cooked perfectly at medium. Along with the mashed potatoes and green beans it was a savory experience with the perfect amount seasoning and buttery texture. The cheesecake went back to my hotel with me and I had it for breakfast. Wow! Large slice, amazing home cooked texture and tasted wonderful! Even without the strawberries! Highly recommend if you want an amazing steak in Columbus! read more

Wow!! Super glad we were able to get a last-minute reservation. Our server, Colin? Connor? Sorry, I'm terrible with names, was absolutely amazing! My glass of tea remained full, his recommendation for the unstuffed chicken was spot on. The unstuffed chicken was absolutely delicious, the mashed potatoes were probably the best mashed potatoes. I've had in my entire life in a restaurant, seriously. The restaurant is quiet enough that you can have a full-blown conversation without screaming at each other. The menu was clearly marked with gluten-free items, and they had more than enough for me to choose from. The people that eat gluten at my table, enjoyed similar dishes - but also enjoyed the biggest slice, actually slab, of carrot cake. That carrot cake looks like it would feed an army of 20, obviously was homemade, and made me wish that I were not required to be gluten-free. Overall, this is an amazing restaurant and I can't wait to be in town again so that I can enjoy the deliciousness that they offer read more

I was looking forward to dinner at the Loft, but was pretty disappointed. Nice atmosphere and good service, but the food was mediocre at best. I had the salmon and it was very fishy tasting, the spnich was cold and had no flavor. The mash potatoes were good. Overpriced for sure! I would pass. read more

The Loft - Salmon - New American Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Food was very fresh and service was awesome! I do think they need a little more options on the menu though!

Perfect spot to stop and eat in downtown Columbus. Cute piano stairs that you walk up going into the restaurant. Service was really good and we packed for nothing! Had to send back the spicy chicken sandwich as it was a salty attack on taste buds according to my husband and that's saying a lot because he loves salt. Changed it out for a wrap which he said was pretty good. The truffled tater tots were AMAZING. Highly recommend those. I had the pork chop and grits which was really good as well but also a little on the salty side...but still good. Fun place! Would definitely come back! read more

Second time here, second celebration. Both times I've gotten the salmon with spinach and, y'all, it is amazing! The lemon butter sauce is fantastic on the blackened salmon (which is perfectly cooked @ medium), and keeps the spinach from making your teeth feel mineral-y. The coconut cake is also amazing - drinks are well-made, love the ambience and the service is stellar. We have been very happy to have reservations - it gets crowded on weekends! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at The Loft. Brittani and Pam were attentive and pleasant. Food was excellent, not too salty. I had the sautéed spinach, green beans, and sweet potatoes fries. Hubby had the the pork chop with grits. It was cooked to perfection. The made-in-house potato chips with French onion dip was amazing. The ambience was casual and energetic. The manager came to table asking us how we liked the food. We really appreciate an establishment that cares. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at The Loft. Our server, Andrea took great care of us. The Caesar was delicious! Lite dressing shaved Parmesan. We shared a pork chop and 2 burgers. The pork chop with grits and green beans. The pork was tender, beans cooked to perfection and that was my first time having grits. Dessert we took home was strawberry cake-my favorite, coconut cake and cheesecake. They were very nice to us despite us walking in 20 mins before closing time. Andrea was kind enough to recommend a few other places to visit. Thank you the Loft. read more

Fabulous food. Great drinks. Excellent service!!!! Highly recommend. We booked reservations in advance for a party of 7.

We flew into Atlanta and drove down to Columbus where we were staying. We were on California time and ready for dinner, but we arrived at the restaurant at 9:30pm (half an hour before closing). That always stresses me out because I'm sure they all want to get out of there. However, they were all wonderful (even though we were the last ones to leave). Brittany was our server and she was totally delightful and never pushed us to hurry up. She was awesome! 5/5 - 16oz Ribeye: Wonderful seasoning on this! Cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were fine, but they didn't elevate the steak. The mac'n'cheese was just okay. The perfect score was for the steak. I would just get different sides. 5/5 - Complimentary Chips and Dip: This was the greatest! Homemade potato chips with french onion dip. Seriously addictive and enough to feed a crowd. If I lived nearby, this would bring me back in over and over again! 4/5 - Grilled Filet Medallions: With a red wine-mushroom demi and 2 sides. 4/5 - Strawberry Cake: very sweet 4/5 - Mama Kay's Cheesecake: delicious 3/5 - Georgia Peach Tea: a refreshing bourbon cocktail 3/5 - Pimento Cheese Burger 1/5 - Banana Fosters Bread Pudding: The bananas were hard (probably not ripe). The food came out to 3.4 stars but the service and chips and dip have me rounding up to 4 stars. read more

I've only eaten here once and would love to eat here again, the food was pretty good. The service wasn't the best... We sat upstairs since the downstairs was full, which was perfectly ok and there was no wait! It is a very cool looking place. Our server greeted us right away but took a long time to return, I always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt-- I've waitressed before and I understand that we all get busy. I wish I was exaggerating but our waters took 15 mins and some of the guys in our group didn't get their beers till after our food came. We probably should've just grabbed those for ourselves at the bar top. The other thing was the waitress asked how I wanted my burger cooked and I said medium well and it came out medium rare. It didn't stop me from eating it, it was still great and I couldn't really ask her to have it cooked longer because she hardly came by-- only mentioning this because I know how picky some people are! It could've been a misunderstanding too. Last negative: I know how much of a pain it is to do separate checks, our party had 6 and some of us paid together to avoid too much of a hassle, but once we got our checks they were all out of sorts and unorganized (wrong items, too many items charged or none charged at all) Overall, I would return and give it another shot because my burger was good-- just a lil undercooked. I got the one with Pimento cheese and my husband got the Chili burger and he loved it. Another great plus to this place is the comedy club on Thursday nights and live music on Friday and Saturday nights! We saw Cigarette Girl last night and it was awesome. read more

The pork chop meal is so delicious. I get it every single time I go there the service is great and staff very kind. I enjoyed myself'l'!

Delicious! The Loft has been one of our favorite date night spots over the years. We love their dinner menu options, specials each night, and the options to go upstairs for entertainment after a great meal. We have never had anything we do not like and service has always been on point. The unstuffed chicken we always order because it never disappoints. The desserts are also heavily layered and fantastic. We always leave with one to go if we are too full to eat in the restaurant. Overall, The Loft is a Columbus staple. If you are new here or just visiting this should be one of your top spots to try. read more

Everything went well. The atmosphere is far better than I expected from the street view. Very well done. Our server was the right degree of friendly, knowledgeable, & seemed to be enjoying his job. ( that makes a difference) The food was delicious ( I had the Salmon) . And the prices were in line for today's economy. ( $63 for two without alcohol). We will be back. read more

The Loft actually turned out to be a great place for my belated birthday dinner. In fact, several other tables seemed to be celebrating birthdays as well. It's definitely a causal atmosphere, but the food makes it feel a little more high end. I had the pork chops and substituted the grits for mashed potatoes and everything was soooo good. I cleaned my plate! My brother-in-law enjoyed the jerk chicken and said it definitely had a kick! He ordered a side of the soulful Mac and cheese and it was surprisingly super good, although I can't say it looked that way. My sister enjoyed her shrimp tacos and my husband had the shrimp salad! We had the hush puppies and truffle tots for appetizers which the table enjoyed. The hush puppies especially. There is an adjoining upstairs space with a bar and stage area. There was a $5 cover but it was graciously waived since we dined at the restaurant. I don't think that's standard practice but it definitely should be. read more

I made a reservation for a Saturday at 5 pm (opening) and it was packed to even get in the door! Clearly a popular place. They sat our party of 8 easily, and Ellie G. did an awesome job taking care of all aspects of our experience there! Would absolutely return. Food was incredible! Recommendations include: Apps: Smoked Queso, Buffalo Chicken Dip (ask for retailer chips and not pita- wasn't impressed with that) Main: Unstuffed Chicken, pork medallions, bacon burger Sides: Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, cheese grits, green beans read more
