Food lovers in Upper Arlington are in for a treat as the week-long gastronomic showcase known as 614 Restaurant Week is just around the corner. Slated to run from January 20 through January 25, 2025, the event brings together local eateries offering special three-course dinner menus at fixed prices. This community celebration is a chance to explore diverse culinary offerings and support neighborhood businesses through dine-in or takeout options, where available, according to the City of Upper Arlington's official website.
Various restaurants are participating in the event, providing a range of cuisines and price points. CHOP5 Salad Kitchen, located at 1305 West Lane Avenue, serves up a $15 menu per diner, available for both dine-in and carryout—offering a fresh, customizable experience. On the other hand, El Vaquero, offering their $20 selection at 2195 Riverside Drive, focuses exclusively on the dine-in crowd.
Sticking with the dine-in theme, to provide a taste of Asia, Fukuryu Ramen at 1600 West Lane Avenue likewise serves an exclusively dine-in $20 per diner menu. Due to popular demand, it is recommended patrons close to the Hudson 29’s $45 luxurious three-course meal, another unique feature of the 1600 West Lane Avenue's dining scene for that week, secure reservations in advance.
Other contenders include Local Cantina and Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern, aiming to please with $15 and $30 per diner menus, respectively, promising a casual yet lively atmosphere at 1670 and 1635 West Lane Avenue. Meanwhile, to uphold the bounty of fresh and health-conscious plates, SOW Plated and Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar offer $35 per diner experiences, ensuring their patrons will not walk away hungry from their 1625 and 1678 West Lane Avenue locations.
