El Lugar

El Lugar was *AMAZING* We tried the scallop, the garlic mushrooms, the squid, brussel sprouts, and the steak flight. Everything was absolutely delicious. I cannot begin to recommend the squid and steak flight enough. It was absolute perfection. The Service was spot on. It was perfect for a date night and we cannot wait to go back. Others around us had things like the fondue that looked delicious and we have a list to try but hands down the steak (paired beautifully with the wine) and squid are must haves.

The kind of place you HOPE stays quietly successful for a long while but NEED to share because Columbus needs more actually terrific dining experiences. Layed back but romantic atmosphere with sensible live music is a nice touch but the food…Candied Brussels Sprouts were exceptional and the mushrooms w/ thyme had my wife and I fighting over who got the last bite. The stake and wine flight is cunning, delicious and aside from having room for creative license, was entirely satisfying. Great service and a memorable experience.

El Lugar and Alpine are both great choices rolled into one cool, laid back space. The patio is a feature here, great place to sit, sip, and take in the peaceful German Village neighborhood scene. The food menus both have quality Spanish and German options, an odd concept, I know, but don't that discourage you. The chefs know what they're doing, I've never had a dish that wasn't worth reordering.

I visited on 11/3/2021 around 6:30PM. The place was pretty busy for the one very professional and efficient host/server/bartender we had. Upon arrival Angela sat us, took our drink orders, made our drinks, and took our food orders. She also delivered our food to us. The drinks and food were amazing. The service was exceptional, especially for someone taking care of everything alone. We will be back soon!
