What are guests saying about the Dinner Menu?

"We had another stellar experience at the Refectory yesterday. The food was exceptional, unique, and thoughtfully crafted. Joseph, our server, was top notch! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great recommendations. The Refectory also goes out of their way to personalize every experience. We’re moving out of state and we noted that in our reservation. Several staff members wished us well and they even had a sweet little card on the table to wish us safe travels. We will miss this place immensely. It’s by far our favorite restaurant experience in Columbus."

"Kamal excels in the way he runs The Refectory. The wait staff is excellent and efficient. Kam is always a delight. The cuisine is over-the-top excellent. The only thing missing are Michelin stars because The Refectory is right up there with the big boys."

"The Refectory is THE standard for exceptional French cuisine in Columbus. This restaurant must be on your list of must-dos in Columbus. The tasting menu we experienced was on par with some of the best we’ve had internationally. Grateful the Refectory persist and stands beyond time."
