“You make memories for us with a fabulous environment, incredible staff, to die for food, wine and spirits. You are what dreams are made of.” June 2022
"We have been coming to the Refectory for years. Everything single item was amazing, from the wine and mixed drinks to the service to all food up through desert. This is one of the few restaurants in Columbus that will provide, without fail, excellence on every visit.” June 2022
“By far the best dining experience we've had in a long time! Our server was outstanding and super helpful with navigating my daughters allergies. We were raving about the dover sole the rest of the night. I've been a chef nearly 20 years some of that time working in Michelin Star restaurants and this was right up there!” February 2022
“The best restaurant in Ohio never fails us. The chef is fantastic based on what appears on our table. We have been coming here since 1976.” June 2022
"Every course was absolutely delicious. We went for our 33rd Anniversary and the evening was absolutely delightful. We especially appreciated not being rushed, similar to a restaurant in France where a table is yours for the evening to dine, not simply eat" May 2022
What Our Guests Say...
“The tasting menu was fun! The seafood coulibiac was exceptional. It was nice to have interesting non-alcoholic drink options. Wonderful staff - very friendly and professional”

“The Refectory is the embodiment of the relentless pursuit of perfection. The new multi-course "tasting menu" approach to dining gently modernizes the overall feel, while concomitantly allowing Chef Richard's talents to shine more than ever before. New Sommelier Taylor is passionate and talented. Service team is exceptional. Left more impressed than ever before.” May 2022
"The food was incredible. The service and kindness of the staff was far and above 5 star. For comparison I have been blessed to eat at some of the best restaurants in France and it is amazing we have this so close to us" April 2022
