Alana's is the best restaurant in Columbus!

Alana's is a place for people who are serious about food and/or wine. It is one of Columbus's "insider-gems". It also has a little attitude that comes across as self-confidence....which I find attractive.

And, best of all, the wine selections are unique and mark-up is non-existent!

My co-workers view me as the "office foodie" and whenever we have consultants from cosmopolitan cities...NYC, Chicago, I always send them to Alana's.
