    It was a fun holiday dinner with friends from Florida visiting us. There were 8 of us and we hadn’t been together in a long while,so it was fun to visit and catch up. Perfect place with delicious food and ambiance. The waitress gave us ample time to visit before ordering. She was very nice and accommodating. But It was difficult for our waitress as we didn’t sit as couples. Proved challenging when the checks arrived. But no big deal and didn’t interfere with the fun. But I do urge people to look carefully at their check especially when dining with a large group. A lovely dining experience!

    Olivia our server was the best server I’ve ever had in any dining experience. Super friendly, super quick, and always around to check on us. Food was top notch and her recommendation of the bison burger was perfect.

    This is an incredible environment, delicious food, plenty of drink options, and very quick service. The reservation process was so convenient, allowing us to change our time twice because of traffic. Great location with convenient free parking across the street. Very affordable and great wait staff! A MUST STOP in Columbus!
