Third and Hollywood

I visited Third & Hollywood with my family after my sister's graduation, and it was an incredible dining experience! Though I live in Cleveland, my sister has lived in Columbus for years and has always praised this restaurant. It certainly lived up to the hype. The ambiance was welcoming, especially since we were the first guests of the evening. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely to die for.

One minor critique is that the made-to-order guacamole didn't come with enough guacamole, but it was so delicious that I couldn't get enough. We also tried the grilled corn elote, which was amazing--highly recommended if you're a corn lover!

For my main course, I had the Mexicali steak salad, and it was the best salad I've ever had. The portions are generous, so you likely won't need to order extra. I can't recommend this salad enough; it's a must-try. I've even considered driving from Cleveland to Columbus just to dine here again. This place is absolutely worth the trip!

I'll continue to go back to Third and Hollywood. Never a bad meal for me. And hands down one of the best dirty martinis in Columbus. Plus their patio is not one to be missed. Service from our waitress was top notch as always.

Best fillet in Columbus! I'm more of a ribeye lady, but here the outside crust of that steak on top of it being medium rare is quite divine mix in some potatos and asparagus, and you have the whole package. Also, their wine list is just too good to go into specifics, get a bottle... or two... or three. After that, it's time to call it an evening

Excellent ambiance and great selection of dishes that can please the most diverse of crowds - including options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free diners. Can't recommend the artichoke appetizer enough! I also had the house-made corn and black bean burger (pictured) while husband chose the beef burger. Everything was delicious and service was artfully paced.

Minus one star for a confusing check in experience. We had a reservation and checked in on time, but something went wrong and we waited 20+ minutes while all other waiting parties were being sat. This probably would have been longer but we checked in with the host who confirmed there had been a mistake. Points for honesty and for addressing the problem promptly.

I've been to Third and Hollywood many times over the years and it is tried and true. I always come here for a special event, a business dinner or a birthday because the quality of the food is reliable and the service is generally great. The ambiance is also comfortable, it's not pretentious but still nice and upbeat.

The restaurant offers valet parking for $5, definitely use this as it can be a pain to find parking in the area!

Tonight we started with the cheddar biscuits- a must! These are sometimes free or discounted during happy hour and they are incredible (but everything here is really good), I usually only get an order of 3 ($5) to save room for other things!

We also got a house made ginger ale (very good with a nice amount of ginger) an aerol spritz and a brut champagne with dinner. Alcohol is roughly $12 a glass, the ginger ale was $5.

The Little Gem Caesar ($14) is incredible, dressed perfectly with big chunky croutons which are to die for!

For mains I often get the chicken ($34), it is always juicy and it's served with croutons (just as delicious as with the Caesar salad) and arugula and the bitterness really balances out the dish. My dining partner got the Hanger Streak ($47) which has a delicious marinated and a tasty bean/corn dip on the side.

For dessert they always give complimentary small cookies. I always look forward to these. They are a little salty but so good and just a small bite. We also ordered the pot de crème ($12) which was silky, smooth and a little salty too- really well balanced especially with the homemade whip crème!

Overall an incredible meal, will definitely return again and again.

I have been to Third and Hollywood multiple times and I can say with completely certainty this spot is the epitome of class.

The restaurant is a combination of comfort and classy with immaculate vibes. The staff always provide superior service and all around is a great place for a date night or nicer dinner with friends and family.

The food is so delicious and I have always enjoyed everything I've ordered. It's a little on the pricey end but absolutely worth it!

Food - delicious!
Ambiance - cute, would be great for a date
Service - nice. Nothing extraordinary.

Note: It gets SO busy, so be sure to plan ahead and make a reservation. You can eat at the bar which is nice, but it can feel kinda tight when the place is crowded.

I've been hearing about how awesome Third and Hollywood is for years now and after seeing they made Yelp's Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants for 2024, I knew I had to give them a visit. My birthday is the day before Valentine's Day so while I wasn't there for a romantic evening, it still made for a beautiful backdrop to celebrate my special day.

I was able to easily book a table directly off of their Yelp page and I really appreciated the text/email reminders leading up to my reservation. When my friend and I arrived, valet was the best route to go in terms of parking because parking is pretty limited in this area of Grandview. When we walked in, our table was ready for us and the staff was eager to greet us... even with it being a very busy evening due to Valentine's Day. Our booth was cozy as was the entire restaurant. The lighting was dim, the bar was sleek with stone and slate accents, there was a wall of wine bottles, and light music playing. It was really no surprise that Yelpers describe the restaurant as romantic.

As for the menu, it is on the pricier side but nothing too crazy - great for a special occasion dinner. We ordered some of the iron skillet cheddar herb biscuits which I heard must not be missed. They were indeed divine and a great snack to munch on while we sipped over cocktails. I ordered an espresso martini and it was perfect! As for my entree, I was craving for a caesar salad and some fries. Basic I know. But it was my birthday so I went with it. The fries were just fries but the caesar salad definitely hit the spot. Maybe next time I'll order a real entree because I have no doubt I'll be back.

I'll wrap this up by sharing that the customer service was outstanding. They over heard it was my birthday and they brought me a dessert to celebrate. I mentioned seeing them on the Yelp list and our server was beaming with pride, as he should have. That's an amazing accomplishment and their entire staff made it happen. Congrats and I'll see you again soon!

Parking is horrible. Food is okay nothing special and overpriced.
Service is average. Ambiance is nothing special. I wouldn't return. Again the parking sucks.

Great choice in Grandview Heights. Friendly staff & attentive server. Seating both inside and outside. Fans helped keep the outdoor space comfortable. Must try the fresh cheddar herb biscuits ( free during happy hour) & devoured very fresh guacamole & chips appetizer. All 3 of us enjoyed our lunch entrees- Hollywood salad(added chicken), corn & black bean burger & steak salad. Many cocktail & wine/beer options.
