Editorial Review for Hyde Park Grille – by Terry Ward Libby
The Scene
Dark and clubby with cocktail bars, this is where the over-30 crowd can feel at home. The dining rooms are comfortable, wooded and spiced with live jazz on the weekends. The bar area is cigar-friendly.
The Food
The steaks are done creatively with recipes garnered from Ohio sports celebs. Steak Rahal (as in Bobby) is a bacon-wrapped filet mignon with sweet Dijon hollandaise, run under the broiler to caramelize the top. OSU football coach John Cooper's signature steak is topped with roasted garlic cloves and mushrooms. The Browns' Bernie Kosar may lay claim to the house favorite--a big fillet topped with lobster meat and served in bordelaise sauce. Side dishes go way beyond baked potatoes.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Columbus and two locals recommended Hyde Park as they best place in town for steak. We went on Friday around 6pm and the host sat us right next to the bar which was absolutely packed with men, you can figure it out. I don't have a problem with homosexuals at all. However watching men hug and kiss for and hour during our date was less than romantic. I ordered a margarita that tasted like straight tequilla, yuck. My boyfriend ordered his steak medium and it came to us completely brown throughout. I ordered the Steak Griffin and it was not edible. There was so much peppercorn on the dish you couldn't taste the steak itself. Their au gratin potatoes were amazing as were the salads and service. In the end our meal was comped. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a delicious meal or a romantic atmosphere.
Pros: Decor and Service
Cons: Food and atmosphere

On 12/15 we hosted a group of 8 to the Hyde Park on High Street / Cross Roads Area. The service left a lot to be desired. The waitress continously reminded us how "good" everything was. Be carefull for the appitizer sampler. Waitress suggested one for the table and continued to charge each couple $35 for the sampler. Prior to ordering I told the waitress I would prefer another appitizer and made it seem as if it was not an option. Not a fan of shellfish I was out my desired appitizer and $35. It must have been the waitress special of the night. Steak was cooked to order, but seasoned inconsistently, still very good. Creamed spinich was soupy and not real creamy. Atmosphere was very classy, later dinner hours were a bit loud and tables were close together. Non the less a good steakhouse atmosphere. Service leaves a lot of room for improvement, food was below expectations for a high end steak house.
Pros: atmosphere and location
Cons: wait staff and price
