Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. They had live music and weren’t too crowded. The spinach artichoke dip is amazing! We both tried the ipa on draft, it was great. I highly recommend stopping in! The staff was busy but friendly and attentive. Plus the food was delicious.

The food was delicious! I got the strips of sirloin and my husband got the risotto add chicken – we loved it! The music was very nice too.

This restaurant is part of Hocking College’s culinary school. The food was delicious, I had chicken breast in mushroom sauce – it was cooked perfectly. Our server was very attentive without being obnoxious. A talented jazz band made the whole experience very enjoyable. My only criticism – the chairs were uncomfortable, otherwise we would have had another drink and stayed longer.

This place was great! Went with a group of 4 – all of our dishes were exceptional. That’s pretty rare. Nice atmosphere also. Had Live Music which was a treat. Service was very good – would definitely recommend.

My husband and I were in town for a Hocking Hills cabin getaway, and we went to Rhapsody for dinner one night. It definitely did not disappoint. I got the pork chop and my husband got the bang bang chicken. They were both delicious and very flavorful. The salad was also really good too. The ranch, which they make in house, was the best I’ve had. The service was very good too. We will definitely come back here next time we are in the area. Thank you, Rhapsody for a wonderful date night.

I live in Athens and can’t believe I’ve never been here before …came for a dinner date and was NOT disappointed. I ordered the fish and chips but substituted the sweet potato croquettes for the fries and my partner had the penne alfredo with chicken. Both dishes were perfection — my fish tasted very fresh and was perfectly fried. We ended with sharing the chocolate panna cotta. The live entertainment was lovely background music without drowning out our conversation. Will definitely come back!!!

My boyfriend and I are currently on a weekend trip visiting the area. We made a quick reservation here and were amazed at how gorgeous it was when we arrived. As soon as we walked in the door everyone greeted us and were amazingly polite. Our waitress was also working the bar and she never once forgot about us. Our food and cocktails were amazing and perfectly made. I would give it a million stars if I could! We will definitely be back.

I loved the atmosphere, music and our waitress. Didn’t really care for the food, but the drink was excellent. The restaurant is small, so we sat outside. They flies were awful!! Not their fault, but be warned.
