Just down the street from our property this is a cozy spot for drinks or dinner and a must in the morning. Stop by the window and order the GV Capp to go before your morning neighborhood stroll. Devine!

Upscale dining with one of the best patios around. In the warmer months stop by the patio (first come first serve) for a cocktail, appetizer or try a piece of the key lime pie. You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped off the streets and into a private New Orleans garden.

Another local restaurant with an incredible patio and menu to boot. We recommend sharing a pitcher of sangria and trying a few tapas to share.

A well kept secret if we do say so ourselves. You’ll find incredible tapas and dishes but we usually end up sharing a handful of small plates because there are too many good choices to choose. At night you’ll find a jazz bar downstairs.

This spot is one of our family’s favorites. Everything is excellent and the ingredients are so fresh. A bit more upscale than casual dining but great for families or stopping by after a day of sight seeing. The green goddess focaccia should not be missed.

Snacks and Bevs

When you’re not in the mood for a full meal, meander through the neighborhood, stopping at our favorite places for drinks and snacks.
With a young son, we love Parson’s easy laid back attitude, and their incredible grassy patio with chairs, tables and yard games. It’s easy to get comfortable and relax for awhile with local craft beers. Even better, there’s usually a different visiting food truck and it’s walkable from the property.

Jeni’s ice cream is always a crowd pleaser but somehow ordering it from the walk up window before heading to the park makes it that more special. This location operates seasonally but if you’re visiting during the colder months there are plenty of full scale locations around the city. They also deliver!

The perfect place to try a new craft beer and enjoy the afternoon either on the front patio watching the world go by or nestled in the back around the gas fire pit. Very cozy and very laid back. Great spot to bring kids or pets

One of our favorite places to visit for an afternoon. Explore the different exhibits and admire all the beautiful nature as well as the butterfly house and Chihuly blown glass hidden throughout the property. If visiting with kids (or kids at heart) the outdoor Children’s garden can’t be missed.

Worthington was the original capital of Ohio and downtown has all the historic charm. Great trails are nearby, taking you all the way from down town Columbus. Don’t miss the farmers market on Saturday mornings, ice cream at Graeters, and pizza at Dewey’s.

Bexley’s right down the road from us and is home to Capital University. There’s a cute downtown area with plenty of restaurants, shops, an old school theater, and green space to explore. Head into the neighborhood after an afternoon at the Conservatory for a full day of fun.
