    Maybe my favorite restaurant in the Columbus area. Wonderful experience every time I dine here. Certainly not your run of the mill downtown chain restaurant. Great neighborhoood restaurant with amazing food and top-notch service. Menu has everything from sandwiches, to pasta, to phenomenal seafood and steaks. Great wine selection, really nice hand crafted cocktails. Always has a great bar crowd, or you can choose a more intimate cozy booth. I'd call this place a hidden gem, but it's always busy, so the word is clearly out.

    Generally speaking "standard" seating is in a dining room at a table. Bar seating is considered high top in a bar. I would not have my children sit in a bar that is why we made reservations for standard seating. Which we did not get. Service was extremely poor. No bread service no refill water food cold.

    We entertained an out of town guest here last night. He really wanted good Italian so I thought this place was perfect. He loved the fresh daily choices and went the Cajun route instead. Always great stuff.

    OMG. My wife and I self professed foodies. Have had dinner dates throughout columbus. This is quickly becoming our goto favorite. Amazing feeling walking into a place where you feel like family. Sitting down and being met by friends, and "The Chef" who stops by every table. The food ignites a part of your taste buds that has been asleep for some time. The wine menu is top notch, which my wife enjoys. The service is second to none. Cant wait til my next visit
