Best restaurants near me in Central Business District, OH

Jeff Ruby's restaurant always delivers on a good time. The food is consistently excellent, the service is attentive and the dinner is well-paced so that we never feel rushed. The restaurant itself is beautiful and there is enough space between diners that you don't feel crowded. Of course, as with any high end restaurant, you should expect to spend a fair amount of money for dinner. But we always feel it is worth it for the experience we have. The only negative this time was that the noise level was very high so it was hard to hear each other at our booth. We were dining at the height of the holiday season, so the restaurant was full the entire time that we were there. Just be prepared for lots of crowd noise if you go at a prime dining time.

The food and service at Boca's were outstanding as always. Meal portions are appropriately sized to allow us to sample a lot of options - the Halibut on parsnip puree was outstanding. Actually, everything was outstanding.

I had a special date with a 4yo that has a dairy/milk allergy who wanted spaghetti. It's difficult to take him for Italian as many restaurants have dairy in their marinara and bread. They were accommodating and verified with the chef, and even brought him a dairy free sorbet desert that was apparently delicious. The staff also had wikki sticks and crayons for kid activities which was a pleasant surprise because I previously didn't consider Sotto a child friendly place to dine. In the back near the restrooms you can watch staff make pasta which was amazing letting him stand/move around and expend energy waiting for the food arrive to not bother other guests, and to avoid hangry meltdowns. :) The kids linguine noodles with marinara was tasty and we asked for extra sauce for him to dip bread, which ended up being his favorite. They were busy at lunch time and my daughter was running late 15mins, the waitress was kind and delivered the salads/apps, and waited on my guest to arrive for ordering the main portion. (Always tip accordingly when holding up a table!). I ordered the breaded pork loin which is my favorite!!! If you enjoy lemon it will be yours too. My daughter ordered penne vodka and it was also great. We both enjoyed a black kale caesar salad with extra anchovies and they delivered!

The most wonderful experience dining at The Davidson this evening for a little Christmas treat. We took our two daughters 4&6 before going to a show and had the best service and meal. We can't wait to go back... without our kids. lol We will be back very soon and will be telling all our family and friends about The Davidson!

We had a delightful and delicious meal celebrating my friend who had just narrowly escaped a devastating house fire. Our server was lovely, and it was our host Allison that made the night even more special with her care and conversation. She was there to support her staff and made us feel valued and cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Nada!!
