    The Fish and Chips are outstanding everyone in our party had them. They are the best in Columbus. We also love the Salmon Bites and look forward to them every time we visit. Everything we've tried at Fado is consistently excellent. The Bourbon selections are also superb and the perfect accompaniment to our meals. Megan was a wonderful waitress - she engaged with our 6 year old grandson and made his experience especially enjoyable. She was also efficient and friendly with all the adults. Thank You, Megan.

    We sat at the last table available by the hostess stand. While disappointed at first, it ended up being quiet and the service was fantastic!

    Cannot speak to much, as we sat in a tool with a group of 6 and another table of 2. Watched three service staff and a bartender enter the room, assist patrons, then go talk in the main area. After at least ten minutes of flat out being ignored, we walked out. Made sure to let management type people who were chatting at the food window know that we sat and couldn’t get a courtesy ‘we see and acknowledge you exist’ from anyone in the staff. Went elsewhere for my birthday, some place that wanted us there. If they were busy I ‘may’ have understood, but it was pretty empty. I guess we know why.

    Awesome food. The atmosphere seems like an Irish pub, but they claim to be eastern European. It's a bit confusing. Fantastic cocktail and liquor menu.

    Fado is the heart and hospitality of Bridge Park! Kid menus are available upon request! Close proximity to the bridge, simple elegance or more seasonal options. And the BEST mix of cocktails around! Blackberry Bramble 😍 Support local ☘️

    Made reservation because website said that they had entertainment on Thursday. No entertainment. Looked at menu, it was not an Irish menu and prices were ridiculous. We had one drink, which drinks were insanely priced as well. Extremely disappointing.

    The beet salad is always a hit whether by itself or paired with salmon, chicken or shrimp. We also tried the seafood risotto which was outstanding! The bar staff enthusiastically accommodated our special drink request and offered up helpful suggestions. Delicious food and drink with super friendly service means we will be back!

    If you're up for a smidge of Dublin, Ireland ambiance, want good company, drinks, and to feel so so welcome by service staff...this is the place. Do yourself a favor, ask the wait staff their dish on the dishes. I've never been disappointed by their advice. Try a mixed libation: my partner's go to is the gin with juniper berries, a refreshing and piquant choice! Can never go wrong with nice Guinness pour. If you're sick of going to an app for a reservation, saddle up to the bar, really no bad views, but sunset views in the veranda are the best, so yeah, reserve.

    Their late spring menu includes far fewer gluten free items than when I was there in early March. Cocktails are pricey. Service was fine but nothing special.

    Food was very good except they were out of kale for kale Caesar salad, server asked if Caesar w/ romaine lettuce was OK—we said yes. Server brought completely different salad with vinaigrette and items my daughter didn’t care for (which is why she didn’t order that salad to begin with).

    Went for mother's day brunch, and the service was incredibly slow. 90 minutes elapsed between ordering and receiving three meals. The food looked thrown together on the plates without much thought. One meal was cold, and the other two were lukewarm. I did not expect anything to be comped, but it would have been nice to get a free mimosa or something small as an acknowledgement that the service was very poor. I try to be understanding of the challenges the food service industry has been facing, but the place was nowhere near capacity and they have brunch every Sunday, so this was not a one-time event just for mother's day. In any case, I would give them another chance for dinner to see if anything improves as I liked the vibe of the place.

    Fado is TERRIBLE; terrible service, terrible management, average ambiance, and average food. I doubt the restaurant makes it through another year; always has small crowds and slow, apathetic service. Nearby competitors in Bridge Park are a MUCH better choice.
