South Village Grille

We love South Village Grille 😍 we come for the delicious food and cocktails, the personable staff, the chill atmosphere, and we've been coming here since before we lived just a few blocks away. 😉 We've never had a less than excellent experience here. Everything is delish. Tonight, we stopped by on the way back from the airport, where I picked Stefan up from coming home from 2 weeks in Africa (Senegal). He had sushi from Jonys Sushi and some saki recommended by the server - it was both adorable and delish! I had the pecan-crusted salmon with haricot vert (French green beans) and butternut squash puree with The Sage Man cocktail; the entree and cocktail were amazing. Just fabulous, as always. Call ahead or make a reservation if it's the weekend, or be prepared to wait, but definitely go to South Village Grille and Jonys Sushi, you'll be glad you did, they're well worth your time! Unless I get there before you, cuz I'll be hanging out for dessert, too. BTW, did we talk beignets? They take a while, because they're made when you order them, and oh, man, they are so perfect. Stefan just got back from Senegal, the birthplace of beignets (you learn something new every day!) and he said these compare well to the originals he had there. Get you some! You'll be super happy you did.

The food was excellent. The drinks were well balanced, with a variety of options with different types of liquor, which is something I look for in a cocktail menu. I haven't tried their wine yet, but at almost every other table, someone had ordered wine, so it is clearly popular. This has been added to the short list of favorite Ohio restaurants. Everyone loved what they ordered. Their calamari and pear crostini were truly superb. My mother in law stated the shrimp pasta was as good as she gets in the Gulf Coast, which is a high compliment for her. Their hot honey pizza was quite good. I can't wait to visit again. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a wide menu upon which anyone can find something to love, friendly service, a quality alcohol menu, and doesn't mind spending $18-$30 per entree. At that price point, I need the quality to make it worth it and South Village Grille delivered on all fronts.

The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was pleasant, very quiet, especially after the noisy group beside us left. I was disappointed in one gentleman, Alex. We asked about chef/summer menu specials, and his answer was a quick no! He was wrong. Our vibrant and very pleasant waitress, Jennifer, cleared that up. They have chef specials aside for the everyday menu items! My sister had a pistachio pasta with grilled chicken, not on the regular menu. The soup special was delicious, and the steak was made perfectly! The sushi is okay. The drinks are always amazing; I can't remember the name. However, the bartender is an amazing mixologist.

We loved everything about this place! Tim made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant with a full expert over view of the menu and great drink recommendations. The burger was one of the best ones I’ve ever had in Columbus. With an appetizer and great ambiance to match as well as a menu that had a little bit of everything but wasn’t overwhelming we’ll definitely be back and making south village grill a new go to!

My wife can be very picky, so when it came time to find a restaurant for Valentine's dinner, I had my work cut out for me. I came across South Village Grill, and it looked very promising. Saying that it did not disappoint would be an understatement. Starting with the beautiful ambience, a very well-appointed restaurant and an extremely friendly staff. Every time someone walked by our table, they stopped to make sure we were doing OK and ask about our experience. We started with the potstickers, which were absolutely delicious; crispy, juicy, and fully stuffed. For the main course, my wife had the carbonara, which was delicious. I had the curried cauliflower that may have been one of the best dishes I have ever had in my life. We finished the night with a gooey butter cake based on a recommendation made by our server, and it was absolutely divine. 10/ 10, we will absolutely be back to South Village Grill

First of all, I just love everything German village. This is such a cute restaurant, so well decorated, amazing menu, service and happy hour deals! I had calamari and mussels! I mentioned to my server about a Brazilian drink and even tho that wasn’t on the menu, they went ahead and prepared that for me! 5 stars service! Will be back for sure! Ps- the restaurant has 2 separate rooms, one of them is a sushi restaurant and you are able to order from both menus!
