We loved the atmosphere here from the moment you walk in. It’s clean and beautiful. We ate on the patio which was wonderful. They had a heater going so it was very comfortable. They also have pillows and blankets sitting around that you can use if you get cold. We got the chips and Queso and black radish creamery cheese curds for appetizers. The curds were incredible. We enjoy some tasty drinks as well. My husband and I both got the filet and our steaks were cooked perfectly! They were so tender. Our friends got the veggie burger and the hot honey chicken sandwich. She said it was delicious but not spicy. They are opened Wednesday through Sundays. We made reservations which I think is a good idea because they were busy. We will definitely be back.

Great service, atmosphere and fare!!! Stopped in on Saturday night grabbed a seat at the bar and enjoyed a fantastic meal, great conversation, and a lesson on the Ghost writer. Will definitely be back when we’re in town over Labor Day next September.

What a recommendation! This little town gem is one of those places that just catch you off guard. The decor was was very nice and the vibe was classy. I would say if you are looking a intimate dining experience you would have to come when it is busy. Our server Jenn was awesome! She was super attentive and provided excellent service. Her knowledge of the menu made it easier to order for sure. The seasonal cocktails were amazing. The menu offer a nice balance of a bit of everything. All of the food was delicious and plated lovely. I would recommend this place to anyone. Just a 30 min drive for an experience that is well worth it! Great place!

We came to the area (we are from Chillicothe)shopping at Copia Farms and decided to search for dinner options. We are foodies and pretty particular. This place is fabulous from our drinks, apps, entrees, dessert and even the coffee was fabulous. We highly recommend.

This was our second time eating here, and it was an amazing experience both times. Today we had Sam as our server and she was a delight. Everything feels very intentional and well thought out- from the menu to the drinks to the music and even the bathrooms. Really recommend the roasted brussel sprouts.

This is such an awesome space in a quaint small town. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. I highly recommend the pineapple jalapeño margaritas and sitting out on the back patio.

Well I am impressed! I suppose I am guilty for believing that this caliber of restaurant exists within mostly tight confines of inner city areas and a few exceptions. This was 30 minutes from Columbus and well worth the drive. The first note is the aesthetic and ambience, modern, thoughtful and unique; lively but calm air. Really a wonderful space with varying areas and a cute back patio bar as well, multiple individual separate restrooms for excellent privacy and tastefully decorated and clean! I always expect something to be off with a meal, in my mind many five stars I give are more like 4, but I have little intention of hurting the reputation of a decent place. This place is 5 out of 5 solid stars! I really could go on, but the chickpea and quinoa fritters were so unique and rich, yet airy and light with a great texture and dynamic flavor. The curds were excellent for texture and savory, beautiful tomato jam. The deviled eggs, just that, and made just how I’d like to remember a deviled egg. The Caesar salad with charred and grilled romaine was excellent too, the flavours really popped through and textures; it’s memorable and a fun way to experience a salad. Beware the spicy chicken is actually spicy, and juicy and balanced with flavours. Im a fan of this place! I will be back and soon! I hope they maintain their relationship with food and their clients to make central Ohio and beyond proud of our growing food culture. Thanks!

Well… Let me just say, look at the menu before you go. This is a place where you will need to eat before. Nice atmosphere, great service, but the food is a work of art. Don’t go to get filled up. Go for the experience! Make reservations!!!

Great food, great service and a fun spot to relax with friends. On top of the main course being great the Cheese Curds were the best I have ever had! Deviled Eggs were also amazing.

This place is so cute. The cocktails are worth the visit alone! Just be sure to make reservations as they fill up quick and it’s a tiny space.
