Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Short North - Arena District

Food is always great here. Service is always very hit or miss. I typically just plan to not have any urgent plans since it can sometimes take awhile.

This place is a hidden gem!! The bar area is fantastic and the food was wonderful!!!

Brunch was delicious and our server River was the best! Ohio Light is my favorite light craft beer ever.

Our server was Ameerahja A. she was fantastic! We were seated quickly and before our reservation was time

Buca has really been improving in the last year! They went through a slump with food quality and service for a while but they’re back! Our last 2 trips there were fantastic. Food was brought out quickly, delicious. The pizza is back to the way it was when they first opened. Drinks (we got sangria and old fashioned) were delicious. My husband loves the spicy shrimp and we all love the fried mozzarella. Service was excellent. Our server, Kiki was super nice and helpful. Downtown Columbus has grown a lot in the last 25 years and there are a lot of great restaurants, but Buca will always be special to my family.
