   New menu interesting, my pasta dish was excellent and my wife’s as well as other guests enjoyed theirs too, and staff always so welcoming which is why we keep coming back!

   The venue itself is beautiful and the vibe relaxing yet the our meal and service disappointing. That said, drinks at the bar and the bartender did not disappoint however, dinner however so disappointing. Our waitress was nice, but not terribly attentive. As for the food, we ordered two steaks, one fish meal and one shrimp salad. Both steaks were undercooked, one was served cold. We assume it was the first meal cooked and sat for too long - the manager replace the steak. A request for horseradish for the other steak ended up being a 15 minute search by the staff only to learn the restaurant doesn’t have horseradish (though no one told us that until we waived down the manager - by the way they do have horseradish sauce but that was not offered until we mentioned it). The vegetable served with the fish dish was cold and undercooked. A highly disappointing evening after so many good recommendations. May give it another try at lunch to see if this was just an off night for some reason. In the end, the manager comped the cold steak dinner and offered free dessert so kudos for trying to make the end of evening nice.

   The ambiance, appetizers, and drinks were great! Truly amazing service. The only thing to fall short were the main courses, all four of us got something different and they were all lackluster and didn’t have much flavor.

   I visited in March and had an excellent meal, truly great. Unfortunately they have now switched to their spring menu which is a disappointment. The main issue however is the prices are not in line with Columbus as a whole. For steak, the prices exceed the great steakhouses in town, and there simply isn’t a justification for it. The portion and the quality simply isn’t there. The drinks too, while good (except for the poor wine list), can be had for less at many other higher end, more established restaurants in town.

   We had a wonderful experience! The wine list was extensive and varied. I enjoy ordering ala carte since it helps me count calories. My wife and I had the rack of ribs, and it was more than enough for two people, on top of being delicious. I love the spices on the outside. The Brussels sprouts we ordered alongside were roasted and crispy on the outside. Our son had the skirt steak and thought it was delicious. We can't wait to return and enjoy the outside patio. Our server, Brian, was terrific. Happy and knowledgeable.

    Our server Karen was outstanding. The food was over priced. We paid $55 for 1 burger, an order of fries and 2 cokes. Then tip on top of that. Kind of disappointed.
