Steady Improvements, Now Very Good 1/13/2012

I've been going to Bel Lago from time to time for years. This restaurant has become a very good restaurant that is often packed in the evening. Nearly all the seats have a good view of the water of Hoover Reservoir. In the summer you can sit outside & in the winter they have a high quality enclosure that brings that space indoors. This restaurant has been successful at tuning the menu to eliminate the bad and add the good. I've gone there on dates, with groups of ladies, and with my daughter. It has never failed to please. It even has sorbet for those of us who are lactose intolerant. You can even make reservations online; just be aware that method might not get you outdoor seating on a crowded day. more

Too Bad I Can Not Give Negative Stars 8/19/2010

WOW! I spent $699.44 last year @ Bel Lago, 2010 ? but 2011 it will be $0! August 14, 2010 marked the very last time I will ever spend a $ @ Bel Lago. I got the hint that I was no longer welcome there buy a rude bartender, a owner that is blind too how his staff treats people & increasing prices and decline of quality. So to finish up, find another place to eat because you will be let down and crushed in your wallet more

Will go to McDonald's before visiting here again 4/6/2010

It started out with the host. I went with my hubby and dad tonight, asked the host if we can sit outside. She told us to wait while she goes out to check the tables. Took her a while, and she told us it will be a few minutes until the tables are bused. A couple came in before she came back, they also wanted to sit outside, so she told them the same thing, it'll be a few minutes. A few minutes passed, somehow the couple got their table first. Wow... I guess it's not first come first served. After she came back from seating the couple, she went outside one more time before seating us. I wasn't sure why, but I wasn't very happy (I was extremely hungry). Pros: very nice view from the deck Cons: bad food, overpriced more

very disappointed, overpriced, bad food 3/29/2010

I had the scallops which were sandy, of poor quality, and extrememly overcooked. the portions were very small. nothing, not even the salad, was fresh. my wife's risotto was plain and bland. the food and the menu were unimpressive. i wish i wouldve saw that the Dispatch also gave this joint 1 star. Pros: outdoor scenery Cons: bad food, uninformed staff, overpriced more

NOTHING HAS CHANGED - HORRIBLE FOOD, MGMT, SERVICE - BEWARE FAKE REVIEWS FROM MANAGEMENT 8/29/2008

Like others I have repeatedly given this place additional chances after MISERABLE past experiences with both food, service, and management that does not care. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2008, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Pros: View Cons: Food, Service, Management more

WINE TASTINGS, NEW CHEF, GREAT FOOD!!!! Unbelievable wine list. 1/16/2008

We live five minutes from the Hoover Grille but we had hesitated to go there based on what our friends were saying. OUR LOSS! They had tried the grille for dinner during the summer in 2007 and were seriously disappointed. Our experience could not be more different. My understanding is that a new chef started in late 2007. Pros: The view of the Hoover Reservoir, wine list, ambiance, creative menu and specials Cons: It can be nearly impossible to get a table on the water on busy weekends. more

Best prime rib 11/24/2007

My wife and I ate at the Hoover Grille last night and it was wounderful. Friends of ours had gone last spring and had a good time but were not impressed, we left impressed. Our server Jon was attentive but not pushy. He recomended the prime rib and swordfish, the two specials of the night. Let me tell you, the swordfish was very good but the prime rib was amazing. I am a meat and potato kind of guy so I have ate a few steaks in my day and this was one of the best cuts I've every had. I asked Jon why this was a special and not on the menu and he replied that they will be running the prime rib every weekend. For $21.95 we will be back another weekend. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well, a nice man who I assume was the manager stopped by and chated for a moment about our dinner and said that he as well was looking forward to haveing the prime rib for dinner. I highly recommend stopping in. Pros: Good food, good service Cons: a little nosiey more

New Chef Rocks. Great Food!!! 11/12/2007

We've recently revisited the Hoover Grille and was amazed by the new menu. My party tried several different appetizers and entrees and we were really impressed with everything. You have to try pasta sambuca. The beer selection is great, the wine list is the best around. and our server Eric was fabulous. Oh yeh, the Cheesecake Factory desserts were awesome. Pros: Great Experience on a Friday night. Cons: Couldn't eat another bite. more

Everything A+ except the horrible service! 11/5/2007

We have made 3 trips to the Hoover Grill. What a great view, perfect location, amazing decor inside, good food, but.... I have never had worse service. We had reservations and even though there were empty tables we waited 15 minutes to get seated then another ten minutes for some to take our drink order. Forever then for our food and just overall very bad service. Such a great place but cannot imagine it surviving with such absolute horrible staff... Cons: SERVICE... SERVICE... SERVICE more

Worst Service 10/15/2007

We've been to Hoover Grill several times because it is near our house and will never return again. The house salad is delicious but the service is horrible. The servers have no idea what they are doing there and take forever and a day to bring anything requested. We've been lucky if our drinks arrive at the table before our entrees. The management cares about as much as the lazy servers. Going as a couple is not as horrible, but with a group any larger than 4 the entire staff become overwhelmed, takes forever to bring out food and messes up orders. The drink menu is great so only go for that and sit AT THE BAR, otherwise the drink may never make it to your table thanks to forgetful servers. Pros: House Salad, View Cons: Service, Service, Service more

TERRIBLE SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT !! 9/19/2007

I am not sure where the folks ate at that rated this place good.?? I have eaten here a few times and EVERYTIME there is a problem with the food and service. I live about 5 mins form there so I have given Hoover Grille a few chances but to no avail. Management is poor....you will get better satisfaction from McDonalds than you will here. The food is fair to say the least (except the pizza was good) and VERY OVERPRICED. The wait staff consists of highschoolers that have poor attitudes and work ethic...Just imagine what they may do to your food if you complain????????? Pros: Ambience and views Cons: Service, food, management and overpriced more

What a pleasant surprise! 9/14/2007

We had avoided Hoover Grill before tonight based on the other recommendations on this website. Never again. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in the past year or so. The location can't be beat (in Columbus, OH) with a beautiful view of the water (for a moment I thought I was in the Carolinas.) I ordered the mushroom and brie pizza and now I'm certain we'll be making the trip from Grandview frequently. Oh, and the staff was very friendly and prompt. We had our dinners immediatly after our salads. All for $21 plus tip for two... Fantastic!! Pros: atmosphere, food, value, parking, service Cons: it's far from our home more

Great view, ok food 8/29/2007

Saturday lunch visit, so no wait and service was excellent. The view of the reservoir was great, nice atmosphere, upscale decor but cheap looking menu. The food was ok - typical American food: steak, some sea food dishes, pasta, and pizza - and is overpriced for this area. May be you do pay extra for the view but it's not exclusive since you get the same view at the public park next door. Pros: View Cons: Price more

Wonderful New Location 6/27/2007

When they started building Hoover Grill near our home, I was a little concerned it would be some kind of dive. A biker bar maybe. A problem for the neighborhood. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. more

Amazing view - HORRIBLE SERVICE! 5/29/2007

First off, the atmosphere and views are amazing, overall the restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere. Because of that, I can?t understand why they can?t get it right! My co-workers and I have tried the Hoover Grill 5 times over the past year. Unfortunately, we have had the same experience every time ? the worst service in Columbus and expensive ? below average food. Pros: Great atmosphere and view Cons: Service, prices, food and management more
