Hyde Park Grille

12/17/2007 Posted by okjoe

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

I loved the deco in the restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic. I felt like I was at a swanky restaurant in New York city.

Pros: The atmosphere was great

Cons: the steak was not made according to my order

We wanted to have a nice evening with a geat food - result my steak was burned even though I ordered it medium I berely eat it. I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant but it is overpriced and I wasn't lucky with my food in that place!

Wondeful! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Henderson rd. location. It was our first visit there. We just finished off what was left of his huge steak with some eggs for breakfast! The atmosphere was terrific, service top notch. Lovely resteraunt and delish food; will definelty return again, if nothing else for the live jazz.

I went to the high street location with my girlfriend for my 25th birthday few days ago. The place was great,real classy, service was good,our server was real friendly and accomodating, although her friend was snobby, but most importantly, the steak was AWESOME!!!! i had the ribeye, and my goodness,never had one like that before, and i've been to some of the finest steakhouses. After dinner ended, they remembered that it was my birthday, eventhough my gf told me that she booked the place 3 weeks in advance, and brought us some pie which was sweet and delicious FOR FREE...to sum it up: it was a deligthful dining experience and i'll definitely come back for lots more!!! WARNING: their steaks come charred no matter how you order them (rare,medium,etc) which is quite the norm at fine steakhouses, so if you don't like them charred,you might want to tell them in advance. and try their sauce toppings...the citrus sauce was great..but my favorite is to make the steak OSCAR STYLE...topped with crab meats,asparagus and bearnaise sauce... yumm..

Pros: Best steak i ever had bar none

Cons: valet parkins is $5...food is pricey

While in town, my husband and I took my parents to the Hyde Park on High St. The reservation was for a table by the window and a birthday. In a virtually empty dining room, we were seated in the back. The steaks came out charred (ordered rare & med rare) and the waiter was arrogant - interrupting conversation, talking right over us. No mention was made of the birthday. We've been to the Henderson Road restaurant and it was wonderful...don't know what went wrong here.

Pros: attractive dining room

Cons: server, hostess, bad steak prep

Been there twice.....Both times the food was excellent, service was outstanding. Times to avoid are weekend nites, and prom time....Also, if you drive a Mercedes, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, or any Escalade with 24's you get to park right next to the door in a no parking section and no one says anything to you!

Pros: Food, service

Cons: Busy times

My first visit here was a gift from my g/f last year and it was amazing! The multi-coursed meal was beyond terrific. Every item from the iceberg salad starter to the rich chocolate dessert to end it was delicious! If I could afford $100 a day to eat there, I would. Nonetheless, I hope to visit this place many more times to come!

Hyde Park was recommended repeatedly to me, so on 2 special occasions I checked it out. The service was absolutely superb. They have great salads, bread rolls. I was, however, dissapointed with the steak. All 4 of us had completely charred steaks, even when ordered medium rare and butterflied. The steaks all lacked some taste. I may try a third time, but if its no better... there will not be a 4th. If you like charred steaks this is the place for you.

Pros: service, ambience, romantic

Cons: steak, expensive, value

This is hands down the best steak place in town. It was the first steakhouse I visited when I moved to Colubmus with my parents and 20 years later it is still my number one choice. Ruth's Chris, Mitchell's and Morton's can't hold a candle to Hyde Park. I reccommend it to everyone and it is always my first choice for fine dining in Columbus. The steaks are incredible, sauces and toppings fantastic and their sides are great. The wine list is excellent too. You simply can't go wrong here!!!

Pros: STEAK!, Atmosphere

Cons: Not One...
