I visited High Bank Distillery while in Columbus, Ohio today, and I have to say, the food was…read moreabsolutely incredible! First off, the Brussels sprouts were hands down the BEST Brussels sprouts I have ever had in my life! I don't say that lightly, either. The sweet potato straws on top were the perfect finishing touch, adding an amazing texture and flavor combination that took an already incredible dish to another level. I would honestly come back just for the Brussels sprouts alone! I ordered the spicy dipped chicken sandwich, and WOW! This thing was an absolute monster of a sandwich! The chicken was delicious, the spice was fantastic, and the fresh brioche bun tied everything together perfectly. It was one of those sandwiches that makes you appreciate every single bite. I also ordered a virgin Bloody Mary, which was absolutely amazing! It's always nice when a restaurant puts just as much effort into its nonalcoholic drinks as everything else, and this one definitely delivered. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the food and drinks at High Bank Distillery. Everything I ordered exceeded my expectations, and those Brussels sprouts alone are worth making a trip to Columbus for! Highly recommend, and I will absolutely be back!

We came to Highbanks for brunch with a large group of 16, so we had to be split into two tables --…read morebut the team handled it smoothly and everyone was still well taken care of. The space wasn't overly crowded, and the food came out in a decent time, which is no small feat for a group our size. The Highbanks team was very friendly throughout. The Spicy Bloody Mary was a standout, with a really nice house mix but as always could be spicer for me. The seasonal donuts were Cinnamon Toast Crunch -- great consistency, though not as sweet as I expected. The hot honey chicken and biscuits were solid, but I didn't get much hot honey flavor from them. One downside: the TVs were on the fritz, so we weren't able to watch the game on most of them. Overall, prices were good and the menu was well rounded, with something for everyone in our big group.

I had the barbecue pork ribs with the coleslaw which I've had in the past. The ribs just fall off the bone. The cheese biscuit skillet is also delicious.

The drink was great, although I did feel the burger was a bit overpriced for what it was.

I think this is a great place for a special occasion or when you're looking for a nicer dining experience. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the mini chocolate chip cookies at the end.

Then there were little daiquiris (special $1 for joining mailing list). They have a small appetizer list; we had the Bear's Bagels chips and schmear. I took home a bottle of Pineapple Rum.

I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

This was recommended as a "hidden gem" and I agree. To my surprise their menu included decent size…read moreentrees, as opposed to tapas, which is what I would expect at a distillery. We started with the chicken wings as an appetizer - 10/10. Great flavor and texture. Duck Fried Rice - 9/10. More wild rice and a decent serving size of duck, which I enjoyed. Braised Short Rib - 10/10. Wasn't expecting the flavor and tenderness that came with it. It's a good choice for a date night, but beware that the tables are close together so you can hear the conversations next to you, unless you don't mind having to lean in to whisper.

Wings with Cheese?... Ok, I'm down for a good garlic parm wing, but WTF was this concoction. It was…read moreway better after removing all of the cheese. Way too much but the wings were edible... and that's where edibility ends! The tofu with peanut sauce sounded good to me, but I swear they took a whole block of tofu and cooked it as one piece. The exterior was bland which meant the inner depths of said tofu was even blander. How do you make peanut sauce bland? The drinks had to be good, right? After all, they're also a distillery with their own craft whiskey. Nope... Epic Fail on the blandest old fashioned in Ohio (I'm guessing). If they're trying to showcase their whiskey... maybe they shouldn't. Just really not a fan. Other Old Fashioned fans in the dining party weren't impressed either. The margarita wasn't much better either. What about a refreshing peach dessert? I'll give you 3 guesses and they all start with B! You guessed it, so flavorless and the pound cake was dry! It was even dry if you were calling it a biscuit. If you're going to serve this, then maybe a peachy sauce to cut through the dryness. Oh, the description promises that, but it did not deliver on those bourbon macerated peaches by any means. Even Bowser would send this peach back! TLDR: Bland food, Bland drinks, Dry Bland Cake, and Bland Drinks (a no-no for a distillery themed place). So many other great restaurants in Columbus, but this is a pass from me.

My husband and I went to Bonifacio after work on a Wednesday, and it was quite busy! They only had…read morebar seating available, which we took. The seats were a bit uncomfortable for me but I am on the larger side. They let us know that proteins come separately from sides so we could choose both. I ordered the sizzling bisteak and a side of rice, and my husband got the grilled pork belly with a side of green beans. Everything was absolutely divine. The steak was perfectly seasoned and went so well with the rice. We both just got waters to drink, but we were super interested in their dessert selection. My husband got the mango sago and it was so delicious! I got the Ube Carioca which was unlike anything I've ever had before. I am usually a coconut hater, but it was subtle and perfect. The texture was super satisfying as well. My husband, who isn't a huge ube fan, also loved it! Everyone was super friendly and though it was awkward to sit at the bar, we enjoyed our time.

The place is not big and they usually have large parties coming in, thus fills the space quickly. We started with Tofu chicharron which we were expecting to be crispy - because chicharron means 'crackling pork rinds' but these Tofu were soft a lil disappointed there. We tried the pork sisig, it was okay. It has this mayo topping and there's an overpowering taste of ginger which is not typical of sisig. We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Taste was was just okay. It has way too many chinese sausage in it. We completed our meal with Ube Carioca, it is this chewy rice cake that is deep fried with glazed sweetness & that was okay as well. We wanted the mango sago, however they were out. The service was prompt and adequate parking space.
