Eleven - Columbus

Looking for a restaurant to cellebrate a birthday, I found what appeared to be a nice place on the internet called Eleven and it had an attractive menu. I Called Eleven and made a reservation for Saturday, the 9th of February. When I got there doors were locked , but someone let us in and we were promptly marched into Hyde Park Steakhouse (HPS). Confusion ensued as I had made a reservation w/ Eleven, not HPS. I pulled up the website for Eleven on my phone, complete w/ menu, and proceeded to speak w/ the manager and several others trying to understand what was going on. They told me Eleven was currently closed and actually part of HPS. At that point we were stuck, w/ HPS and its ' very expensive menu, which was nothing like the Eleven menu. It was not feasible to find another place to go..... so we were stuck. There were 7 of us and because of the run-around from HPS everyone felt uneasy w/ pricing and ordered very little... ie: salads, hamburgers, sides. Not what I had planned. HPS ruined a birthday celebration with a very shady 'Bait and Switch ' and handed me a bill for over $400. NEVER AGAIN!

Went for a work event. Counted my change after I left and only had 5 of what was obviously 7 ones i was given back in change. Really a $13 local beer. Guess joke was on me because it was really $15 after tip.

I visited this restaurant during happy hour, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety on their menu. I ordered the beef sliders and calamari. While the calamari was good, I found the Asian sauce to be a bit too overpowering.

I had an excellent meal and drinks here the day after Valentine's Day. The service was also very good. I recommend taking advantage of the valet parking...

Eleven is located right next to the fantastic downtown Hyde Park steakhouse and can be seen as its more laid-back, bar-style counterpart. To be honest, I wasn't aware...
