Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Urbana

Another Columbus, OH staple to visit—especially the one in Upper Arlington. Fantastic food with a local vibe. Always get the Volcano for an appetizer! The Prime Rib special was excellent and cooked perfectly. The Bolognese and burgers were also amazing, and don't miss the side, loaded baked potato.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday and were thoroughly impressed! As never dining at this CM establishment it easily shot to the top of a highly rated favorite. Our server Ethan was exceptional who provided a nice, experienced flow to our evening. The food was outstanding, oh those parm green beans, the steaks, the sides, the dessert…oh my!!! And do yourself a favor and do not skip on the cocktails…so tasty and a satisfying long pour! The decor was fascinating and the atmosphere was fun albeit a little loud however that would not hinder us from returning.

This is the second time that I’ve been to the Coldwater Cafe, and it was just as delicious this time. I had the Quiche of the Day, which I didn’t have the first time. I was glad that I did. My uncle had the ravioli, and he was equally impressed. We ended the meal with a scrumptious bread pudding. The service and ambiance was amazing! I highly recommend this place!!!

Our food was perfection!!! The shrimp and calamari appetizer has the most amazing coating and dipping sauces!!! The star of the show was our frozen espresso martini!!!!

We had a great experience! The happy hour special is great. We also really enjoyed our entrees.
