From intimate dinners to lively group gatherings, The State House Restaurant offers a warm, inviting setting that turns any occasion into a downtown Columbus moment.

Set inside the three-level Bonnier Building, The State House offers a sun-filled main dining room for milestone lunches and relaxed gatherings, along with flexible private spaces for everything from cocktail classes to harvest-table dinners. Built-in dumbwaiters help keep plates and drinks moving efficiently, so you can focus on the toasts, the stories, and the people around the table.

Community Support

A portion of every Friday cover supports State Street Pride and local food-education programs, while our kitchen continues to look close to home for the farms and producers that help stock the pantry. When you gather at The State House, you’re not just feeding your guests; you’re helping support the people and communities that nourish Columbus.
