🍽️ Beautiful Meals in Columbus – A Graduation Food Tour 🌸

As graduation approaches, I’ve been saying goodbye to Columbus one beautiful meal at a time. Here’s a roundup of lovely spots — perfect for dates, celebrations, or treating yourself ✨ 🇺🇸 SoCal Kitchen (High St.) Came here for both graduation and my birthday! 🎯 Must-orders: Scallops, Oysters, Tacos, Steak — the cauliflower in the scallop dish was a surprise star! 🍸 Skip the cocktails though — not their strong suit. 💼 Lindey’s A true fine-dining experience — great for a romantic night. 🍖 Friends swear by the Lamb Chops & Steak, but I went for the Halibut — and it did not disappoint. 🍮 Crème Brûlée — you really can’t go wrong. 🇮🇹 La Tavola Cozy Italian vibes. Tried three pastas: Mushroom 🍄 Duck 🦆 Bolognese 🍝 (the winner!) 🥗 Their House Salad was fresh and tasty (no pic, sorry!). 🍰 Cake was okay, gelato was just meh. 🐚 The Pearl (High St.) Another elegant date spot. 🇹🇭 Thai Mussels were a highlight (I love all things Thai!). 🍰 Brown Sugar Pie is intensely sweet — perfect if you have a serious sweet tooth. 🍯 Tupelo Honey Southern brunch goodness! 🍗 Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken and their fresh salads hit the spot. 🍻 Gallo’s Tap Room Open till midnight — and home to the best wings in town! 🏠 Right by Taylor House (wish I’d tried it when I still lived nearby). 🇫🇷 La Chatelaine French-style brunch & bakery heaven. 🧅 Onion Soup, Escargot, and their pastries are musts. 🥨 The Éclair (with hazelnut cream) wasn’t too sweet, and the Palmier was so good — even after my cat knocked it off the table 😼 🎂 Sadly, too full to try the Fruit Tart or Napoleon — but they looked gorgeous! 🍣 Kura Revolving Sushi (Polaris) A Columbus classic — fun, affordable, and always satisfying. 🇯🇵 Yoshi’s Japanese Restaurant Solid sushi and dishes — forgot to take photos, but it’s worth a visit! These past two months, I’ve explored more of Columbus than in my whole two years here. And you know what? I’m going to miss this place 💙 #ColumbusEats #GraduationFeasts #DateNightSpots #OSUlife #FoodieFarewell
