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 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.

Lovely place for a meal or just a drink at the bar. The cheese curds are excellent (from Black Radish Creamery!) and the creme brulee is a must try. Nice atmosphere. Our waitress was the sweetest, very attentive and I loved chatting with her. I had the veggie burger. It was good but could’ve used a bit of salt. Husband had the NY strip and said it was perfectly cooked (high praise from him). All in all, we will be back for another date night!

This is an incredible location for a quick bite or drinks with friends. Update for February 2025: We were admittedly pretty surprised when we stepped since the changes because the entire environment felt much different, not necessarily bad. They basically restructured how they are running things to better match the client demand. This place is much more relaxed, go-grab-drinks-with-friends type of place. I love it! The menu is smaller but still had my favorites. I really like how they added several spinoff pool tables in the second room. This is still the same wonderful place with the awesome staff (shout to Sam who is seriously so wonderful!) I still stand by my word that if you are in Licking County or coming to the area to visit, you need to stop by this place!

If you haven’t eaten here yet, you have misplaced priorities. Trust the cheese curds will replace the childhood joy you lost becoming an adult. You also cannot go wrong with the cocktails. Perfectly crafted, delicious to drink.

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!

I absolutely love this restaurant! A coworker of mine’s recommended it to me. So, my cousin and I came to try it. We were immediately greeted at the door. They were a little busy so it took a second for our reservation to get seated. However, in the mean time we were able to check out the beautiful decor and hang by the bar. Our waitress Sam was amazing! She knew a lot about the menu and was able to help us pick the perfect drink. I got the Curtain Call ($12) and the Specialty Cocktail ($12). They were both delicious but Curtain Call was good I had to get a second. For dinner we got the Deviled Eggs($10), the Wagyu Burger w/Fries ($19) and the 60 South Salmon ($28). Everything we had to eat was beyond amazing! The Deviled Eggs were sooo good and flavorful. The Wagyu Burger was the best burger I have ever had (So, I ordered one to go to have for lunch the next day. It was still amazing after being reheated in the air fryer!). The Salmon was so delicious and was cooked to perfection. I love everything about this restaurant, from the decor to it being spotlessly cleaned! I will definitely be back.

The atmosphere in this small town restaurant is absolutely incredible. We were greeted warmly by our host and taken to our table immediately. The Chimichanga is the best I’ve ever had. The shell was crispy, the inside was hot and flavorful, and the chips with queso was great. The chicken Sandwich and french fries is great as well. The Cesar salad is not good, the chorizo tacos are okay, the poutine is decent, the Ube Cinnamon Rolls and bread pudding are good, and the drinks are decent. Even though not everything was amazing we will definitely come back again.

Best restaurant I’ve been to in the entire state. They do everything right – from the food execution (excellent flavor and textures) to the service, ambience, tableware, decor, all of it is flawless. Would rival any restaurant in world-class cities.

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.

Wow, that was an amazing meal and experience. Cheese Curds we’re a great app. Pork Chops were so flavorful, Salmon was great and loved the coffee rubbed duck. For Desert we had the ice cream made in house with creme brule’ and chocolate torte. All were great and the staff was so helpful.
