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.“
"The plates of food were works of art, so beautifully presented that we had to take a few minutes to admire them before digging in. The taste was out this world! We were entertaining friends from out of town, and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. We could hear each other without having to shout across the table as is the case in so many other restaurants." September 2023

“Absolutely wonderful, as always. We've been enjoying The Refectory experience for many years, and if anything, it's gotten even better. We especially like the change to smaller main courses, and the wine pairings are always perfect. The service is attentive and friendly and we're already looking forward to our next dining experience at The Refectory” January 2023

“The Refectory deserves at least one or two Michelin stars. My wife and I have experienced great restaurants all over the world. The Refectory compares favorably to any one any where." June 2023
“The patio is well appointed with a water feature that adds to the ambiance. The 5 course tasting offering and wine pairing did not disappoint. This is the definitive restaurant in Columbus to celebrate special occasions. The staff is knowledgeable, and professional. The appealing food presentation is a plus to the wonderfully prepared menu." - September 2023
"I cannot remember a better overall dining experience in my entire life! Absolute PERFECTION in all aspects -- attentive but not fawning service and the food, every course from salad to dessert, was so exceptional that I savored every single bite. The Refectory unquestionably offers the best fine dining experience in all of Central Ohio.” April 2023
“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 2023
