Three Creeks and a Kitchen is by far the best fine dining spot in Gahanna. We are fortunate to have it. Much better than the Barn. Friendly atmosphere, excellent service, food quality is fantastic. I have been there twice in two weeks. I look forward to going again soon. For appetizers I have had their scallops dinner crab cakes (rich in crab flavor but a touch dry however the pineapple salsa helped) and second time I had the tuna tartare which was absolutely exquisite. For my main meals the first time I had the scallops and mushroom risotto (yummy and well flavored with a bit of spinach and a hint of lemon) the second time I ordered the ribeye (it melted in my mouth and was seasoned perfectly). Dessert both time was a Key Lime and Yuzu tart. It took me back to Margarita Ville. Three Creeks is hopefully going to remain here for a long time. Everything about it, is first class. G. Hawks

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 had a wonderful experience at Lincoln Social. The service was on point!! Great night overall! Maybe more food options and the lighting at the tables were not enough. I had to use my phone light to read the menu.
