    Off the chart noisy. But the holidays are upon us! Food and service were great but the two of us couldn't hear ourselves talk due the loud, intoxicated people at the bar next to us.

    Garrett took great care of us! He was cheerful and attentive even as he was very busy serving several other tables. The ambiance is welcoming. We often sit outside and people watch, but that wasn’t an option this time. Being inside felt no less fun and comfortable. The blistered Brussels are a personal favorite. They never disappoint. The beer is as delicious as it is cleverly named. All classic styles that one would expect, brewed well. One note to OpenTable: North High is located in Zionsville, Indiana (I believe there are are other locations, too). I keep seeing it listed as Westerville.
