Visiting columbus for the weekend in March

Just as the title says.. We are coming to columbus from Canton in March for my daughters Volleyball Tournament. We are staying on Fisher Rd which is about 10 minutes from the convention center. We wont have a bunch of free time since we will be at a tournament all of saturday afternoon and sunday but we are coming Friday evening and I'm looking for a good restaraunt in the area or cool things to do friday night that we cant do in Canton. Im aware of like easton and the shopping and all of that stuff but was just curious if anybody had any recommendations for something maybe close to our hotel?

Also.. are you able to freely explore OSU? My daugter is a Freshman and is dead set on attending in the next few years so we thought it would be cool if we could drive her around campus or something lol
