We will start the year off with a great review, for a great restaurant! Earlier this month (January), we went to Buckhead Grill on Armour Road. This was an excellent choice for dinner, as it was very high-class, yet calm and cozy. As you will see from our review below, we felt as though this experience was one that should be repeated again in the future.
To start the evening off, we were greeted by a wonderful host that made us feel as though we were old friends and valued guests. We were sat promptly in a very large booth, which is great, because we are all people who like to have elbow room to enjoy our food! Our server was Emmanuel, who greeted us quickly after we sat down, and proceeded to explain the menu's that Buckhead had, including the regular menu and the Wine and Drink Menu (which contains an All Night Bird Special listing of entrée items!). They call it the "All Night Bird" because these specials are available all night, just at a certain time! The menu was short (one page), and was included a wonderful selection of entrees, from cheeseburgers to a rack of elk.
When the time came for us to order our meal, Emmanuel was very helpful in explaining the items that we had selected. While there seemed to be a lack of appetizer selections on the menu (and almost all of them included seafood of some sort), we were able to find one that I (Ryan) was able to eat (as I don't like seafood). We decided on the California Nachos for our appetizer, and we were very surprised when it came out, it was HUGE! The appetizer was very good tasting, and had a menagerie of flavors with pita chips, cheese, California sauce, and pico de gallo. This appetizer was amazingly good, and was enough to fill up even the hungriest of people! We were pleasantly surprised when Emmanuel brought out a complimentary amuse bouche from chef, which was a crusted tostini with seafood dip (which even Ryan enjoyed).
The decor inside Buckhead Grill was very pleasant and modern, had such a good atmosphere that no other restaurant in Columbus can compare to. With two fireplaces, a full bar, and ample seating, Buckhead is a prime choice for a dinner out with family or friends.
For our entrees, we each got a different one, and below you will see how we scored the entrees, and find out the reasons that each of us gave when determining our score.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John - Ribeye 16oz with mashed potatoes - Everything was excellent, the ambience was very enjoyable. The staff was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Though it was a little on the pricey side, it was well worth every penny. Rating - 1 Full Fork
Deb - Bacon Filet Mingon with Domino Potatoes - The meal was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers. The flavors paired well in the appetizer as well as the entrée. There are so many places to spend your money here in Columbus, that it is nice to go to a restaurant that appreciates your business as much as they do. It was a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Rating - 1 Full Fork
Ed - New Zealand Elk Rack - Elk was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Rissoto was excellent and overall was the best dining experience in Columbus so far. As people who have lived here for several years and have experienced several venues, we wished that we had tried your establishment earlier. Rating - 1 Full Fork
Ryan - The appetizer was succulent, and the salad was very tasty due to the complexity of flavors (including blue cheese!). The Ribeye was delectable and the mashed potatoes had very good flavor. I was very excited about the meal, and was definitely not disappointed. Rating - 1 Full Fork
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall Rating - 1 Full Fork - A Perfect Score. This is very difficult to achieve, and this establishment should be commended for being receiving this rating as our first place rated in the new year!
