    Outstanding on every level. The bib salad was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the fillet and it was the most tender well cooked piece of meat I’ve ever had in a steakhouse. The sides were great too for dessert highly recommend that cheesecake. We will definitely be back as this is one of the best restaurants in Columbus. You get what you pay for and food and service was well worth it.

    Food is always great. Calamari, caprese, mussels and so much more. Came here for a late birthday celebration and gave us a tiramisu cake which I love so much. A little bit sweet but it's so good. Mat served us and he was very attentive. The place was honestly quiet even if there were many people (except for people ordering in loud voices) but overall I think it was exceptional.

    We had a wonderful time. Booked the Winter Haus rooftop experience, there were 6 of us. They had a heater to warm the space, nice ambiance. They had fire going outside. We ordered several things from the menu and everything was really good. Our server Owen was absolutely delightful!

    We sat at the bar, we did not realize it was a pre-fix menu for Christmas. The menu sounded delicious, just more food than we signed up for lunch. Our bartender was great, and made the experience more enjoyable. Our drinks were delicious, and it was great ambiance. We are looking forward to our next visit to try the regular menu!
