    I was excited to try Hank’s as I had heard good things.  The restaurant itself is gorgeous and is a welcome addition to downtown Columbus. The service was excellent and everyone encountered was professional and attentive. We had a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and two seafood brunch items that were all amazing. Our shared Key-lime pie to top things off was the perfect and to a lovely experience at Hank’s.  I would highly recommend it for just about any occasion; Happy Hour, a romantic dinner, or a special celebration. We were very impressed with every aspect of our visit and look forward to coming back again and grabbing a seat on the patio!

    I have been here three times and the food has been outstanding every time. The first two times the service was great. This last time it seemed like our waiter was a little overwhelmed or he didn’t have enough support. The food and ambience is incredible though and I would highly recommend the place in general.
    Hank's Low Country Seafood & Raw BarResponded 2 days ago
    Hi, Melissa! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your continued support — we’re truly honored to have been a part of your mom’s 70th birthday celebration, and we're genuinely sorry to hear that the service didn’t meet expectations during such a special occasion. Your feedback about your recent visit is taken seriously, as we understand how those details can impact the overall experience, especially with a celebration of that significance! We’re grateful for your kind words in spite of the hiccups, and we’re addressing the issues you mentioned to ensure a more attentive level of service moving forward. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back soon and provide the experience you’ve come to expect from us. Sincerely, Hank's Management Team
