My boyfriend and I booked here for our anniversary dinner a month out. When we got there the hostess told us that they had a dinner reservation at 9:30 that we should be mindful of. Our reservation was for 7:15. Our anniversary wasn’t mentioned at all. The server never said anything about it.The beef fat fries were insanely good. The general tso’s cauliflower was amazing. Great starters!!My boyfriend got the lamb and the flavor was so powerful (good thing) and the meat fell apart perfectly. I got the spring thing, a pasta dish, and it was bland. It tasted like something I would have been disappointed at myself to have made at home.I got a French 75 and it tasted like lemon juice with some water. Pretty disappointing.The service was fine! Our server grew on us. The food runner somehow stole the show! She was amazing and very knowledgeable.Overall, I won’t recommend this place to someone wanting to have a special night out. We were really excited about this and it was kind of a let down. Still had quality stuff!

Very friendly staff, unique decor, and an ever changing menu.. trust me, it's well worth the visit!!For starters, you need to the General Tso’s Cauliflower bites and the beef fat fries! Watermelon Aguachile is a perfect dish to enjoy on the patio with a nice Aperol Spritz.If you love seafood, then you need to have the Lobster Khao Soi (Chiang Mai Style), and the Miso-Roasted Halibut. For vegetarians, the Hyper-Roasted Beet & Chevre will have you wanting more!

Chapman’s Eat Market is one of my all time favorite spots. They do a rotating menu that makes every meal here a unique experience. Today we tried every dessert on their rotating menu and a lovely lamb shank.The very best part of our meal tonight though was our service. Our waiter Tyler was filled with excellent suggestions, great service skills, and interesting conversation! I can’t wait to go back and have great food and chats with Tyler!

Went here for the first time for my friends 30th and it did not disappoint. Our service was awesome, the building was so cute, and the food was delicious. We all tried multiple dishes (small plates and entrees) but honestly the winners for us were the small plates. Particularly the general Tso’s cauliflower wings and the fries. The cocktails were also amazing!

I showed up at 5pm right as they opened without a reservation on a Friday. They didn’t have any openings until 10pm but they let our party sit at the bar which was very accommodating. We ordered the General Tao’s Cauliflower, Beef fried fries, and the spring vegetable scallop salad. All small plates.The General Tsos cauliflower was just ok. Honestly tasted like something you could buy frozen at Trader Joe’s but it’s a fried batter dish so wasn’t expecting to be blown away either.The beef fried fries were really good. One of the best fries I’ve had in Columbus. The beef tallow flavor really makes these stand out.The spring veg scallop salad was ALMOST great. The mixture of herbs was a nice touch but I think they went overboard with the mint leaves in it so that it was all I could taste. Otherwise the dressing and scallops tasted good. The scallops were slightly warm mixed into a cold salad. I didn’t like that since it made the salad have a lukewarm quality.Ambience was great. And seemed like a nice dinner date place. Overall, I was hoping the food would be great but ended up just being good. A little pricey too for the quality. Service was fine at the bar but not exceptional.

2.5/5 Hmmm where to begin... Came here for my husband's birthday to try the new April menu. I was told we would be "hooked up" for my husbands birthday when asked if we were celebrating anything special - usually that means a discounted dessert or drink at other restaurants, but that never happened. I don't expect anything from restaurants, but to be told that we would be "hooked up" and "treated nicely" by multiple people when we are paying a decent amount of money was... interesting. For drinks we ordered the colored something and a popcorn style cocktail (I don't remember the names as the new drink menu is not up on their website). I don't like sweet cocktails, but the popcorn drink tasted like it was not properly mixed, with all of the flavor at the bottom and the alcohol was more forward on the palate. We then switched to wine and beer.For appetizers we had the General Tso's cauliflower (always delicious and a menu staple) and the mushroom "Dino nuggies" (just fine). For dinner, my husband ordered the fried chicken which was very good. I wish the kimchi had a stronger gochujang flavor because it was bland in comparison to the other sides. I ordered the Radiatori a la Confit Rabbit & Pesto and it was very dry. I'm not sure how a confit rabbit can be dry? But it was very much lacking and I had to drink a lot of water. The pepitas, which both looked and tasted like edamame (??? So were they even pepitas????), were not needed in this dish either and did not really do anything for flavor. I liked the addition of nori, i found that to be very unique.For dessert, my husband and I had the mochi cake which was delicious. We also ordered the brandy Alexander which was sub-par.I would eat at other places before coming back to Chapman's.

Always great service and drinks at the bar. Josh, riannan and Colin provide superior attention to detail.
Amazing experience here! We sat at the bar and the food was flavorful, and lively. Sean served us creative, complex cocktails. I mean truly memorable. Think you've had a good mojito? Try one here. Seriously, any of Sean's creations will engage flavors in a rare and elevated way. I don't think I've had a better cocktail experience.

The chefs menu in the private room is something you have to experience and if possible, do it with a group of friends. We had the best time and the food was incredible. The service was outstanding and getting the explanations of each dish from the chef was great. Can’t wait to come back and try this again!

Chapman's is always our favorite restaurant to go to for special occasions. The wine list is always fantastic and the food is unbelievable. This is the first time we did a full tasting menu and we were so glad we did. Each course was amazing and well curated to the theme. The service is the best in town and the decor is everything I dream of for my own home! So glad we have Chapman's in Columbus.

I've long been a fan of Chapman's but they're going in an absolute terrible direction right now and I truly hope they're able to get back to where they were. The only option for dinner at the moment is a tasting menu which is inspired by the flavors of Virginia/Appalachia. Dinner last night take 3 1/2 hours (which in itself if enough for me to not come back but there were other issues). The first course is a ham biscuit which would be a great breakfast but is a terrible app. You're basically full after the first course. From there you get three more individual apps and it's the most hodge podge collection of subpar weirdness you can imagine. The gazpacho is visually pretty and a good flavor. The crab roll is legitimately bad. It's crab salad (think crab mixed with mayo) and bacon wrapped inside seaweed like it's sushi. It was not good. Lastly, my entree, which the server categorizad as "hearty" (chicken and dumplings) was a bowl of chicken stock with a single soggy dumpling and 5-6 pieces of undercooked root vegetables. Service and atmosphere was great but dining format and food was atrociously awful. We had no alcohol and it was $300 with too for 2 people. Who wants to come back and do that again after they did it once? It's an awful business strategy and an subpar experience. We used to come here for delicious, elevated dining and drinking where you could pass fantastic bowls of beautiful food between friends. That was fun. This is not. Hope you all are listening to feedback and don't ruin a good thing by sticking to this new format and menu.

Love visiting Chapmans whenever we can get in! It's such a popular spot in German village that you are best off by booking a reservation 1 month ahead of the day you want to visit. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, every item is awesome and so are the drinks!
fantastic choices of food and incredible cocktails!!
