    Steak salad. Delicious
    Grace K.

    GREAT service. Delicious food. Fun vibes. We loved the fondue appetizer and wine flights. Great menu options all around. Loved being surrounded by so many wines at the table

    I'm grateful that the wine bistro could accommodate our party of 20. Unfortunately, I would not return to dine here on my own. While I love the concept of wine tasting and enjoying a bottle room, the food is just average. We had a sampling of popcorns (so salty- I get it they're trying to sell wine) and hummus with flat bread and veggies (standard). We had a choice between a bunch of different entrees. I had the steak salad (generous portion). My friends' chose the burger (burnt) that came with sad potato chips and another friend got the flatbread pizza that was bland. There was a party of two men that were glaring at us all night because the sound amplifies in the space. Again, grateful they could accommodate a large party and I wouldn't return.

    Not a single miss on the menu! Such a great variety, all with outstanding wine. Indoor & outdoor seating available as well as private dining and tastings too. Tried the bold red wine flight but there is also a white wine flight available. On the drink menu, there are also cocktails, beer, and a full wine list. Highly recommend the Tuscan popcorn as a starter. The maple bourbon bread pudding was the cherry on top of the entire meal. Perfect portion to share with another too. Staff was friendly and service was great.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the wine bistro'! I wasn't expecting much for the food but it was very delicious. One star off because the selection of wine to order in house in actually somewhat small. I was expecting much more. We started with their house salad which was delicious. They don't have many exciting apps, so maybe adding some more tapas or easy groups eats would be good. I ordered the beef stroganoff and my boyfriend had the twin filets. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My stroganoff hit this spot. I would recommend adding a slice of bread to the dish though. Overall - a good dinner! The inside is welcoming but not as many seats as it looks like there would be. Our server was attentive and kind. I would definitely come back.

    I went here with a group of eight and the waiter was attentive to all of our needs. Most of our group ordered the Pick Two items for lunch called the Blank and Blank. I ordered the tomato bisque soup and the 1/2 chicken Waldorf sandwich. My food was delicious! I would love to come back again!

    Love the wine flight on the patio with my daughter for mother day and it was great. We done a white wine flight and a glass of pinot Grigio. We decided to get the Tuscan popcorn and wow what a great surprise. It is so delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other items. The service was good.

    I was visiting for dinner with friends and my partner. While I didn't not order any wine, we did order cheese boards and entrees for dinner. As a vegetarian, I was very limited to a few appetizers, soups, flat breads, and salads with no protein. All of the entree meals were made with meat. So instead, I ordered the prosciutto apple honey flatbread without the prosciutto and was very disappointed. The flatbread was burnt and was the texture of a tortilla with no real flavor. It was barely filling. I couldn't taste the garlic sauce or honey which is supposed to enhance the taste of apples and cheese. My partner ordered the shrimp risotto and was also very underwhelmed. My partner stated the risotto texture was very off. The ambiance and service was good but I wouldn't come here for anything more than a glass of wine. The appetizers are small proportions and the cheese boards are the only thing that would be worth getting with wine.

    Shrimp and Risotto

    Incredible experience from start to finish for our large birthday group. We had an incredible server that was very down to earth and knowledgable. We enjoyed trying new wines that came out very cold to enjoy. We shared a side salad along with the chicken pesto spaghetti and shrimp and risotto entrees. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a group or with family/date night.

    Celebrated a friends engagement on a sunny Wednesday and the Wine Bistro was perfect! We made a reservation and were lucky to get their patio. Despite being on a busier road it was not too loud or overwhelming but a cute vibe! Parking was easy, especially with the added garage just next door. And our food and wine were delicious. I love trying their flights for variety and the Summer Lovin was truly perfect for warm weather. The fondue trio and baked Brie were delicious but the trio will always be a go to - all three cheeses have a unique taste profile that's creamy and pies perfectly with the warm, soft pita! Highly recommend

    Shrimp Risotto
    Kara S.

    Really great food. Wonderful service. Restaurant is always cold, bring sweater. Loving the inside it's beautiful and rustic. I had the shrimp risotto.

    Maple Bourbon Bread Pudding (to go)
    Jen K.

    This is a tricky review as I've been here once before and don't remember anything knocking my socks off. I returned on Saturday for Restaurant Week with a friend to give it another shot. Location and ambience is great, however the service/hospitality just really ruined the entire experience for me. Upon arriving, the host had no facial expressions and actually appeared disgraced that we arrived. I had a reservation and she (very unwillingly) sat us on the patio. They were moderately busy. Our service was the same. I guess I expect great service when I go out at a local type restaurant, and unfortunately Gaby (name on receipt) didn't deliver such experience. Nothing happened during our experience, but she certainly did not go out of her way to show any type of "service " and absolutely didn't go above and beyond in any way. The only redeeming part of my dinner was the food. I will say the Winery salad and shrimp risotto were SUPERB! I was disappointed in the presentation of the dessert we got to go (key lime pie) was just thrown in a cup, but the food...*chef's kiss*! I don't remember enjoying whatever I had this much in the prior visit I had. Keep your chef and put more into training your front of house staff. Location and ambiance: 4/5 *they have their own parking which is important to me Service/hospitality: 1/5 *DO BETTER! I was just at Agave & Rye and you can tell they are TRAINED to be stellar in this area Food: 5/5 *LOVED my food, but service matters. I likely won't return because of this

    Creme Brulee
    Emily G.

    Very nice restaurant with a cozy vibe. Excellent food (I have had the pasta, flatbreads, and winery salad). Crème brûlée is delicious! Really good service every time I have gone. Most recently went with a group of 10 people and they were really good with managing a large group. This is my favorite place to go out to dinner in Columbus!

    The founder trio is good and so was their flatbread pizza. My mom loves the selections of wine.

    Top 5 restaurant in central Ohio. Well deserved. Nice menu, but your choices are limited. I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done. Our Old Fashion had a nice taste. The place is very small and reservations are a must. The GM Michael came by and chatted us up...to thank us for coming, and glad they were able to accommodate our food needs. Nice touch. Excellent bathrooms. Thanks for that. Be prepared to spend $100 per person. Welcome to the Columbus culinary scene.

We were nervous at first because no one we talked to knew what Gene's was BUT we are SO SO SO glad we went! From the moment you step onto their property it was such an incredible experience. Who knew such a cute and quaint little restaurant could pack so much flavor and art into their food and such a personalized dining experience. While we had a reservation at 8:45, we decided to eat in at the bar after having the most incredible espresso martini of our lives and talking to John. My sister and I opted to share multiple courses - each of which was better than the last. It was an amazing experience and we were lucky enough to compliment and thank the executive chef in person. We left full and satisfied but not stuffed which is exactly what we were looking for! HIGHLY recommend Gene's if you're looking for an elevated dining experience and great service while in Dublin, Ohio!

On a Friday night at 6:45PM our party of two was seated immediately at a 2-top. Larger parties were waiting. My buddy ordered the prime rib, his regular, and it was served as ordered - rare. I order the 6 oz. filet, medium rare. Excellent. The big win? They serve raw horseradish! The venue is from the 1970's and very well maintained. Will I return? Certainly.

    A Delicious Time Machine You Actually Want to Eat In…read more Windward Passage is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like you've stepped straight into 1978, in the best possible way. If you've ever thought, "Man, I miss the days when dishes had names and not just 'deconstructed concepts,'" this place is your new home base. Appetizer - Coquille St. James Sea scallops, sauce, mashed potatoes... basically a fancy seafood shepherd's pie that your nostalgic inner child will absolutely high-five you for ordering. Rich, creamy, comforting -- it's like a culinary hug from a decade with better music. Waldorf Salad Phenomenal. Flavorful. The kind of salad that reminds you why this dish used to be the Beyoncé of dinner parties. Fresh Catch - Haddock No picture, but you can tell this fish was fresh. Like, "probably had weekend plans before it met the kitchen" fresh. Decor Dated. Dark. And somehow awesome. Imagine the set of a 70s maritime movie, but everyone's actually having a good time. Atmosphere They open at 4 PM and there's a line -- because apparently everyone else also loves time travel. I was probably one of the youngest people there, which is a strange but empowering feeling. Like being the rookie on a team of seasoned pros. The staff? Super friendly. Pro tip: the bar fills up FAST. Olympic speed. If you want a bar seat, you need reflexes. Also heard the dining room runs warm -- so if you run hot, maybe bring a tiny fan or pretend you're on a tropical cruise. Final Verdict: Windward Passage is a retro gem with hearty food, friendly vibes, and the kind of throwback charm that makes you grin. I'm absolutely putting this into rotation with friends for bar hangs, drinks, and really good food.
