We came in after the Chelsea game and it was extremely busy with everyone arriving at once! Things were moving slow as would be expected, but it seemed like the entire staff from bartenders, to servers, to management were hustling to the best of their ability. When food and cocktails reached us it was well prepared and a manager named Patrick stopped by to talk to us for a few minutes to explain and apologize. He seemed sincere and kind even though I saw a few guests being rude to him when he tried to explain the same things to them. As someone who has worked in service I really think a host would have been helpful as we all just sat at once and flooded our orders into the bar and kitchen?

Awful management. The bartender was okay but the management was awful with our order taking an hour and half and we never got our food. They weren’t ready for a “rush” of people after a soccer game. The manager on 8/3/24 was a jerk and disrespectful.

Is quite excellent there. I wasn't able to get a picture but all I can say is that I enjoyed it

I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening and it felt pretty laid-back and informal. It has a classy ambiance, but it's in the hotel lobby and not really separated from guests coming and going. We sat ourselves and most people there were just grabbing drinks from the bar. There was a wide variety of attire, so you definitely don't need to come dressed formally. I wouldn't call it a nice date night vibe, but mostly focused on elevated cuisine. The menu is okay, not super extensive or exciting, but the food was excellent. For starters, the pretzel bites had a unique texture to them -- reminded me a tiny bit of a yeast donut but a little thicker. The salmon entree was phenomenal -- delicious glaze, great crust on the salmon, silky smooth and rich puree, everything on the plate meshed well together.. 9/10 dish. I tasted a bite of the mushroom risotto and it was quite good, too. Service was good. I'd come back for another great meal.

Place is in a hotel and very wide open, so hard to give it a good atmosphere score.Overall 5, food 5, service 5.Got the salmon. It was flat-put excellent. Nothing more to say. Will absolutely be back.Server was a junior at OSU and talked through her experience in going to SDSU then coming back to OSU. I believe her name was Taylor. This was the conversation my daughter needed to hear to make up her mind. She has since accepted the OSU offer and is totally stoked to go in the fall. Pass on my regards to Taylor as she was super friendly & helpful.Will go back!

Located in the Marriott. Food was good. But overpriced. Service (kitchen/bar) was very slow.

We came here to celebrate our date night together and truly loved the corn ribs and drinks . Great service it took a little long to greet us but they were short staffed that dayOur waiter was on top of making sure we had what we needed and we will be back to try out more menu optionsThe pesto bread was a bit over powering but loved the color it gave to the dish

Parking: You have to park in the street and pay Columbus prices which is cheaper than paying the hotel parking fee

It's on the first floor of the Marriott Hotel. Order hamburgers, mac and cheese, ribs, and pizza.
First of all, it is comfortable and the food is overall delicious. The mushroom pizza with balsamic glaze was different, but the toppings were very poor, which was disappointing.
The mac and cheese didn't have enough cheese.
The hamburger was delicious and the ribs were so tender that I liked them.
The prices are not bad compared to other regular restaurants for a hotel restaurant.
