Columbus Fish Market

Nice evening with friends out for Restaurant Week. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table even though we had reservations. But food was good. Our friend ordered salmon, and it was well-done and rather tough when it arrived. He sent it back. But his second order was done perfectly—probably an oversight in a busy kitchen.

I rarely give out 5 stars and maybe it was partially because this was the first solo day + dinner experience since my wife had our 3rd kiddo, but they did a great job with the food and ambiance.

I ordered a Caesar add-on salad with the ribeye + lobster combo meal. Originally I planned to only have a few bites of the salad to save room but ended up eating the whole thing. I thought this was going to be a mistake, but it was not.
My wife and I finished our appetizers (spicy shrimp and oysters on a half shell), our drinks, a salad and still finished our main courses.
Timing of everything was pretty solid too - not rushed and not so slow that you're idling sipping water to pass the time.
Dessert and after-dinner drinks were good too.
We'll definitely go back again.

Since we went all out on this dinner it was quite pricy - about $230 with tax and tip for the two of us. But again, a 5 star experience isn't going to be a $30 meal.

We ate here randomly for lunch, having never heard of this place. We were SO happy we did! Lunch was so tasty and very, very reasonably priced. A 6 oz filet with asparagus and potatoes was like 38 bucks?? The steaks were cooked absolutely perfect to our requests. Our waitstaff was kind and checked in on us repeatedly, always on top of everything. The oysters were big and delicious. Surf and turf was great!!!!!

For a place we randomly stumbled into, we now plan on eating here whenever we can when we're in town around lunch time. Wow!

I had the pleasure of dining at the Columbus Fish Market in Ohio, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warmth and genuine friendliness, creating an inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the entire meal.

The restaurant's upscale ambiance added a touch of elegance to the evening. The attention to detail in minimalistic decor and layout was impressive, contributing to a comfortable and sophisticated dining environment.

However, the true highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. The culinary creations that emerged from the kitchen were nothing short of outstanding. The flavors were exquisite, and each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing the freshest seafood and ingredients. It's evident that the chefs at Columbus Fish Market take great pride in their craft.

What truly stood out, though, was the impeccable customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the dining experience was exceptional. Their genuine care for the patrons was evident in every interaction, making me feel valued and well taken care of throughout the meal.

In my book, Columbus Fish Market deserves the #1 spot in customer service. The combination of super friendly and inviting staff, an upscale atmosphere, and outstanding food make it a must-visit dining destination. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable culinary experience, this restaurant has it all.

Great service! For the life of me I can't remember the server's name I think Haley. She was very attentive and very nice! My Valentine's Date was late so I was able to see how the manager interacted with some of the employees. I think Dave was his name. You always know when an establishment is ran well or not it's because of the management and this place has good management they treat their people well very personable! My date and I left a gift bag with 14K gold earrings on the table and the bus boy Ed ran them to me as I was going out the door that guy's an honest hard worker. Overall a really great experience!

Delicious food, great service!!! My daughter always enjoys the bread!

We were invited to a birthday celebration dinner with our good friends. We were located in the private room off to the left of the restaurant. It was cozy, seating about 14 people. There was a monitor in there for a presentation that had all kinds of pictures of the birthday person with family and friends. The menu had several options for the party. I had the salmon and my wife had the chicken. We both ate the house salad. The food was good; the service was good; the fellowship was awesome! I have never had a bad meal at this place.

We've been going to the Columbus Fish Market for a long time. The food and service have always been great, and this last time was no exception. Whole lobster is no longer on the menu, but the manager, Dave, made arrangements to have that on hand. It was a special occasion and that extra effort on his part made it even better.

The best meal I’ve ever had! We went there for our wedding anniversary and we ordered the calamari, the seafood gumbo soup, the salmon, and the shanghai sea food sampler. I hate calamari, but the calamari here is amazing!! The dipping sauce is 1000/10! Get the seafood gumbo! It’s very smoky and very delicious! I wish I could order a gallon of it. The salmon was the best salmon I’ve ever had. Way worth the price. The mashed potatoes that came with it were so creamy and delicious. The Shanghai seafood sample was delicious as well, but too small of a portion. But I must say the sea scallops are mind blowing and the sauce that comes with the dish is phenomenal. Our waiter was very kind, quick, and responsive to our needs. We will be returning!!

Great seafood! Had the 2lbs of king crab legs and it didn’t disappoint. The drinks came fast and the server was great.

We love the Fish Market! Our server was inattentive. HOWEVER, it was Mother's Day weekend, and they were swamped. We'll definitely give her grace on that.

Excellent seafood. Everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The wait staff were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend this location for a nice dinner out.

My experience at Columbus Fish Market was lovely. I made a reservation online, which was incredibly easy. We arrived a couple of minutes after our reservation due to traffic, but were still seated right away. Everything from our drinks to our apps to our entrees were just delightful. Everything arrived on time, and our glasses were never empty, thanks to our server.

The only complaint I will make is that the booths don't accommodate larger people very well. My husband is 6' 4". He could barely fold himself into the space provided.

Was told by a number of people it's the best for seafood.. so went it was Happy hour so ate in bar .. Had local IPA BEER fantastic. Had crispy shrimp appetizer un real good finished with a double Cheseburger for a seafood house again great . Had a very nice bartender, very friendly and had a lot of local information .. priced more than fair
. Can not wait to go back

A great place to have a nice intimate meal or sit at the bar and enjoy a beverage and conversation. The food was amazing and the service was great. I recommend Columbus Fish Market to everyone.

Today was our first time here. My husband had the Scallops with Green Apple Hash. Absolutely delicious! I had Salmon with Maple Bourbon Glaze. It too was delicious! Waiter was also the bartender. Very attentive. We dined mid-afternoon, so it wasn’t busy. The food was fantastic!

Still great food atmosphere and quality been coming here over 20 yrs.

Chilean Sea Bass and Mahi Mahi are top notch. Great food and vibes.

I was trying to figure out where I was going to have dinner, I was trying on a new outfit, and I looked so good in it, I felt like really treating myself and experience some finer dining. It had been quite awhile since I've been here, but this is one place I knew I had to visit, again.

Being a lone diner was not an issue, and I was treated appropriately, actually getting complimented for my look.

Looking over the menu, I looked over their specials, as well as the "as you like it" fresh fish selections. But loving the flavor of Asian food, I went with the Seared Singapore Sea Bass. It was a great melding of flavors, especially the tartness of the ponzu sauce. The bass was firm and flaked without needing a knife. I had a bottle of Martin Codax albarino, that worked well with the asian seasonings. I finished up with a slice of key lime pie.

I plan on returning sometime sooner.

Had dinner here and can honestly say I was blown away by how amazing the food was! Had a craving for seafood while in Columbus and did a little research before I found this place and decided to try it.

I travel all over the country for work and people look at me crazy when I say one of the best seafood meals I’ve had was 100s of miles from an ocean in Columbus now!

I had the chargrilled oysters with the bayou butter (fantastic!), sea scallops and salmon, and finished it off with the awesome shark fin dessert! All of it was so delicious had to stop myself from ordering seconds!

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, fresh seafood meal!
