Highly recommend the Columbus steak served with a hot rock- you finish cooking your steaks to your liking and keeping them hot! Absolutely my favorite! You get 2 thin New York strip steaks with 2 sauces, salsa and fries.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is delicious and home cooked . we had our anniversary event here and everything went amazing , everyone was happy and could not stop telling us how great the food was and the Service. Ana it’s a great event planner. She did everything we asked and more
I have driven past Columbus Grill many times over the past several years and had no idea of the pallet pleasing options their menu offered.
Visited here on a Tuesday evening. I was seated in a party of 2. One other table had 6-8 seated, the rest of the restaurant was empty aside from a few people at the bar.
Giving 4/5 due to service which was slow and inattentive. Drinking glasses remained empty over 10 minutes on two occasions and the wait staff was no where to be found. Waited another 15 minutes after my last bite before finally having to seek out our server on my own.
On to the good stuff, the food:
Started off with a round of oysters, which are grown and harvested locally. Temperature of my first oyster was far above what it should have been and didn't provide an appetizing first bite. After covering the oysters with some of the provided ice, they chilled down to a more reasonable temperature for raw seafood which made for a very palatable experience. Oysters were semi-sweet, light beige, with a mild finish.
Note to chef: consider adding shallot and garlic infused red wine vinegar to compliment these sweet gems.
Next up was the bruschetta which provided a finely tuned and perfectly balanced flavor of balsamic glaze, fresh tomato, and basil which got better with each bite. I wanted to get more, but knew I had to hold off and leave room for the main course, which was the Paella.
I grew up eating my mother's Paella which had influences from Spain and Guatamala. She passed several years ago and I really missed her paella, which she never left the recipe for.
Until my visit at Columbus Grill, I have longed for a paella with a similar flavor profile, yet all others fell short with something missing. However, this paella hit the mark and left me recalling memories from my childhood.
Each ingredient in this paella complimented one another. Every bite was a pallet fiesta with the perfect blend of spices, veggies, and meat (lobster, shrimp, and chicken). The sauce was creamy and velvety. My only regret is not ordering a Blanc or Riesling which would have of paired well.
Writing this review has me craving more and I need to go back, right now.
