What are guests saying about the Dinner Menu?

"We really enjoyed the small plate format. We were able to experiment and order a few things, then share. The prime rib with the cardamom sauce was memorable. The Refectory is always, consistently, outstanding. The best restaurant in Columbus, every time." August 2021

"Pre fixe menu was a culinary treat. The wine pairing was expertly matched to each course. The service was impeccable and friendly. Would highly recommend it for a special occasion. " September 2021

"Could not have asked for more from The Refectory. Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Kamal Boulos, chef Richard Blondin, and their staff have done a magnificent job preserving a Columbus landmark and helping to usher it into the future. If you live in Columbus or are just visiting, you owe it to yourself to stop by for a meal!" September 2021
