What are guests saying about the Dinner Menu?
"Every element of our anniversary celebration dinner was perfect from beginning to end. Every staff member who interacted with us warmly wished us a Happy Anniversary and served us in only the most professional manner. We had not dined at The Refectory in some time, but will certainly make a point of returning soon."
"Every experience always blows us away, but this visit topped the cake! Our table was perfect, the ambiance was beautiful, and the service both Kamal and Alex provided was outstanding. The five-course meal with wine pairings was an outstanding experience. I cannot say how much we love The Refectory and keep coming back because of how special it is!"
"The food was excellent - dishes that you can't find in any other restaurant in Columbus. The wine choices were exceptional, and we found a great bottle at a reasonable price. The Wagyu beef was amazing and delicious, as were the small plates. Our server, Dominic, was polite, professional, and considerate—and his personality was very refreshing! Thanks for a tremendous evening."
