I was exhausted after flying in and doing checkin that I wanted to eat something close so why not at the hotel restaurant? The staff was really nice and sat me at a table (bar was full) and brought water. I ordered the steak chimichurri that came with fried. I don't really eat fries so I asked if I could change to a vegetable. The server offered broccolette but he would check with the chef. Thankfully the chef accommodated and I got a delicious steak that was perfectly cooked medium rare. The broccolette was a bit crunchy which I like and had cheese on top. The food didn't take too long to come out and I was able to have a quick delicious dinner. Service was great and I was surprised there was no charge for changing the fries. The ambiance here is more on the upscale side, but I didn't feel out of place by being there casual with my airport clothes.

Great experience at Shulas for a work dinner. Made reservations, arrived on time and sat right down. Ordered the cowboy ribeye that came out cooked perfectly. Tried the house salad, bread service and asparagus as well and all were good. Interesting house ranch on the salad, had a bit of vinegar in it, was good! The restaurant is located in the Sheraton and has nice street views of Columbus. Would go again!

Omg. That Mother's Day Buffet was to die for. I mean... unlimited crab legs? Yes... please. And unlimited Mamosas! Score. Besides the typical brunch options, they also had an omelett station, prime rib station, and all the pastries & fruit you can eat. My husband made his own French toast, and my child feasted in a ton of bread & fruit. Service was great, the food was delicious. We were able to make our own bouquet of flowers as a generous gift.

Delicious steaks and a great drink menu. We were seated immediately and our waitstaff were very attentive throughout our visit. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the appetizers and side dishes were also excellent. Really great experience here.

Contrary to current trends, Yelp.com is the very best platform to post both positive and negative reviews of establishments. Both Facebook and Google reviews are geared towards protecting the business and limit legitimate adverse reviews by burying them in a sea of sugar coated fluff or removing them without warning. For my birthday, three of my friends took me here for dinner and it was an extraordinary experience. I had the massive cowboy ribeye at $78 and it was delicious and cooked to perfection, the way I love it, medium rare. My friends had the rack of lamb and vegan options. I was presented with a side of carrot cake for my birthday. Service was impeccable, yet not overbearing. Marvelously spacious and richly appointed interior. I would definitely entertain returning sometime soon. I had a wonderful birthday surprise and I will most highly recommend Schula's Steakhouse to others. Bon Appetit!
