Close walking distance to Ohio Theater with nice view overlooking Christmas lights in Columbus Commons. Met up with a friend for dinner before seeing Jon Stewart. Service was fast, food was hot and tasted great, atmosphere was friendly and lively without being too loud to hold a conversation. Great place to grab food if you're downtown for an event.

We loved everything about this restaurant. We wanted creative, light fare, and this was the perfect place for us. We had the edamame dumplings appetizer and a couple of noodle bowls for entrees; all were delicious and came to our table quickly. The service was fantastic. The server was attentive and answered all of our questions. It was very easy to have a conversation, and the seating was comfortable. We loved this place. I felt very comfortable wearing dress casual attire, but would feel less comfortable in casual attire because it is a very nice setting.
