“This is the perfect restaurant for a special occasion! Food and service perfect. Pacing of dinner the best I’ve ever seen. Wonderful waitstaff and top notch sommelier. The custom wine pairings were delicious and very well explained." - September 2024
What Our Guests Say...
"We really enjoyed the small plate format. We were able to experiment and order a few things, then share. The prme rib with the cardamom sauce was memorable. The Refectory is always, consistently, outstanding. The best reataurant in Columbus, every time.“
"A well stated review cannot match the impeccable service, and most importantly, the chef’s attention to detail that we have experienced tonight and every night(we’ve been celebrating special occasions for over a decade). This establishment and its dedicated chef deserve accommodations and local appreciation to ensure the opportunity for ALL to experience for generations to come" November 2023
