I don't know Columbus, OH from any of the other cities peppering the middle of this great nation...so I have no idea where this place is other than it...

Take your next group dining experience to Banana Bean! They did a great job for me and my group as the wedding shower I'd been planning came to fruition...

Good Food - Bad Drinks and Service

Average Rating

The food was good here, but not good enough to make up for the watered down drinks and terrible service. Also, did not have the first three items I ordered. This was early on a Fri night, they didn't run out, they just didn't have it. Starliner Diner in Hilliard has similar cuisine, and much better service. The menu isn't as varied, but they always have what's on it.

Job Well Done!

This was by far the best brunch I've had since my days of living in New Orleans. Their Bacon Bloody Mary was just as good, no, even better than I had been told. It's more than a bloody mary, it's a small vegetable garden and Grey Goose Vodka. Dishes are well structured, layered with flavor and seasonings. Great atmosphere, excellent service (I think his name was Greg, sorry if that's wrong because he took such great care of us!) but above all else, outstanding dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant to those wanting something other than the usual, standard dishes we tend to find in...

Horrible, Horrible and oh wait, Horrible!

I still had to pay for it, even though I never sipped more than that first horrible sip. We ordered variations of poached egg and crab cake breakfasts, which was possibly one of the worst meals ever. It was akin to eating salt from a bowl, albeit it looked...
