“ Wonderful place for a date night. We sat at the hearth, which I feel is the best seat in the house. Service was excellent, shout out to Callie and the two cooks tending the fire all evening. We even got to meet the head chef who was extremely personable. The food was amazing, especially the bone marrow appetizer. Will definitely be returning! ”
“ A salad for 30 is low key crazy but I would probably do it again. This spot is super cute. The bartender was extremely welcoming, attentive and professional. Outside and Inside seating was available and the views of the museum and park is an added touch. The food was good and its conveniently located next to the lobby of the Junto. 5 stars. ”
“ A True Gem with Unmatched Hospitality! From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you know you're in for more than just a great meal – you're about to experience something special. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, but what truly sets this place apart is the service – especially one extraordinary staff member who wears many hats and somehow excels at them all - Nichole! Whether Nichole's hosting, bartending, serving, or managing the floor, she does it all with effortless grace and genuine care. She remembers your name, your favorite drink, and even your usual order – and not just yours, but seemingly everyone who walks through the door. She makes every guest feel like a regular. Her knowledge of the local area is second to none – bars, restaurants, attractions – you name it. Her drink-making skills are top tier, and yet she never rushes, never misses a beat, and always manages to make time for a friendly, meaningful interaction. Even when she’s connecting with another guest, it’s a pleasure just to hear her conversations – authentic, warm, and deeply connected to the community. She is the heart and soul of this place, and her energy is absolutely infectious. It’s rare to find someone so passionate and skilled across the board. She makes the experience truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for great food and a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere with service that feels like coming home, look no further. This place – and especially this amazing woman – is absolutely top notch. ”
“ We greatly enjoyed our dinner here. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming, and our server was helpful and professional. The drinks were good and each dish we had ranged from very good to excellent. This is a spot I would definitely come back to and be glad to take folks to and introduce them to this great addition to Columbus. ”
“ This spot opened when the hotel was built, and its well worth a visit for locals. I loved the atmosphere and our server - Karen - was so kind and helpful. The new menu is very good and loved that they had zero proof cocktails prominently on the menu. ”
“ Great drinks esp the one with pea protein and glitter ! I believe it was called the coal miners daughter . We will be back for food ! ”
“ It was a great place to eat. i got the burger, and my partner got the skirt steak. It's a bit pricey, but honestly, it's worth it if you don't mind paying a bit much. ”
“ Our server (whose name started with an S but I can not remember) was amazing. Very attentive without being pushy. They have a dining room, bar area (inside and outside seating), outdoor seating, and a kitchen/grill seating area. The food was delicious. Very flavorful. Good portion sizes. I would definitely come back. ”
