   Food is solid (nothing spectacular or unique), which makes up for the incredibly subpar service. Clearly still trying to recover from covid issues with staffing and quality services. Very noticeable. Just like everything in downtown area, the prices are off the charts unreasonable. $17 for a cheeseburger? Lol.

   Mediocre food and high prices. Only go for the convenience if you're staying in the hotel. Otherwise I'd go elsewhere

   Veronica provided outstanding service. The ambiance is wonderful. The crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious, and the beer list is excellent.

   We stayed at a rearby hotel who had no option for sit-down breakfast. I found Columbus online. The place was not busy (thankfully), very comfortable, high quality food, pro waitstaff. We were recommended a place nearby that, at breakfast, have throngs waiting for a table. I call it a feed lot. One one a half blocks away is a superb breakfast option. Lavanzza Coffee. Columbus has its own entrance near the entrance to the hotel. Highly recommend.

   Excellent service. I asked to wrap my partially eaten lunch. He took it back and said they threw it out by mistake and were remaking the meal. So they gave me a new lunch. Excellent waiter.

    Really poor service at outrageous prices! To be fair, we complained and the Manager did provide us with a significant discount, but $27.00 for one drink- really? (And that price was nowhere to be seen on the drink menu)

    After a long day at a football game it was great to have dinner right in the hotel The food was great and drinks were perfect. Veronica our waitress was super fun and did a great job We had wings and calamari for apps. Both were delicious We had burgers, the pizza , chicken sandwich and salad w salmon -no complaints from my picky crew. Best part was 10 steps to the elevator to our room.

    We ordered an appetizer and drinks, which arrived fairly quickly, but the rest of our meal took over an hour (beyond the time we already waited for appetizers). The server was knowledgeable and friendly but the amount of time we waited, and the price of the food, was what prompted the lower rating. We have no problem paying good money for good food, but nothing we ordered seems worth the price.

    Wait staff seemed to forget about us, and no one really seemed like they wanted to be working (including the hostess...not all that friendly when she sat us). Usually a solid place for lunch, but today wasn’t so great.

    This is our 2nd time at Columbus Tap since staying at the Swissotel annually. It’s actually located in the Fairmont Hotel, however, it’s convenient since it’s just a short walk through the pedway. The menu changed with very limited selection and a high price point for what it was. Some of the apps were good, but nothing spectacular. The entree selection didn’t offer a wide variety. My friends ordered the steak and was disappointed that the description wasn’t clear on the exact preparation. I had the salmon salad and the dressing was underwhelming, and the salmon was dry. I was told by a hotel employee that they are remodeling, hence the limited menu. Hoping they turn around the menu since the service and location are decent.

    I think they had a bad day. I've been to Columbus tap many times and the food is always good and service is adequate, but this week was the exception. Our server literally did not care about us or anything. On top of that it took over an hour for our food to arrive and even with those issues the service never got better. the manager ended up talking to us and he was nice but that had no impact on the level of care and attention we got from our server! -- I'll go back because I know this was not a common experience and the food is very good.

    Over priced beyond compare. The food overall was poor, soup was actually inedible and sent back by the guy who will literally eat anything. The best item was the grilled cheese from the kids menu, which isn’t a problem...but a $25 burger better be a $25 burger and not dry and tasteless and puck-like, while the bun was wet with condiments and couldn’t hold together. Won’t go back even if someone else is paying.

    The food options have improved - however, the service at this place is routinely horrific (really, really, really bad waiter this past visit; didn't understand the menu, barely spoke English, and forgot to bring out several items that were requested at time of ordering). This one was so bad that I would literally get up and leave this establishment if I was seated in his section again.

    I come here reasonably often. This time the food was a bit slow. Fries were cold. The burger was expensive for what it was. Couldn’t find the server when it was time to leave. Not awful. But not good. If it was my first time I probably wouldn’t come back. As it is, I’ll give it another chance.
