    Super busy night after an OSU game but our table was ready within a few minutes of our reservation and the staff kept us informed. Drinks starters and entrees were delicious and our server was super attentive. Excited to go back again.

    Server was GREAT! Attentive even though a full restaurant with many Ohio State fans bummed over watching another loss 😞

    Was seated at a filthy, sticky table. I had to ask the server to clean it. The washcloth she had was too dirty, and she had to go get another to ever so slightly wipe off the yuck. She never acknowledged it or apologized, I thanked her regardless and she ignored me and walked away. Really ruined any chance that I was going to enjoy my time there. The food was good, and served quickly. We would have stayed for another drink or two had it not been for the negative experience of being seated and a very obviously dirty table. Probably won’t be back anytime soon. There are better more attentive places all around.

    Food & drinks were excellent and our server did a fantastic job for a party of 6. Noise was a little loud, but it was during an Ohio State game so patrons were engaged and it was expected.

    We enjoyed our food. Our server, Heidi, was wonderful! It was a bit loud, but it was a Friday night. We could still hear each other which doesn’t happen in a lot of places.

    One of my favorite spots; food was amazing as always, service was a little slow/unattentive; however there didn’t appear to be many servers working; still would recommend as a need to experience in Columbus

    The service and food were excellent! The noise level was appropriate for the restaurant. It was hopping! We had a great time and as busy as they were, our server was extremely attentive!
