    I have passed this shop many times and wish I had checked it out much sooner. What a relaxing little wine room. We loved the wine taste vending station. You buy a card at the register and you use it for self service wine tastes in 1, 3, or 5 oz pours. I didn't love any of the whites I tried, but they had me at rosé selection! Purchased a bottle that came highly recommended and I'm looking forward to a nice chilled glass of pink goodness. The gentleman working was so helpful. They have a charming patio. Perfect place to spend a lazy sunny afternoon.

    This has been on my list to check out for awhile now, so this weekend while waiting for candles to finish next door, we stopped in for some wine. First impression was that it was an impressive little space, there was wine stacked wall to wall! I also loved the little graphic in the front that helped describe the types of different wines. The man working met us in the middle of the shop and asked if we were looking for anything in particular, and I stated that I'd been wanting to stop in and it was our first time. He seemed less than pleased that we had a kid with us (very well-behaved 5 year old...I couldn't find anything online that this place wasn't kid friendly..) but didn't say anything more. After wandering around, we decided to try out the wine dispensers. There were two girls at the bar and the man working, and they all watched us as we looked at the machine confused. Eventually we had to ask for help (first time with one of these things!) and the man came over to (finally) show us how to work it. We each ended up doing the middle-option for two different wines, both of which we liked. I appreciated the descriptions above that give you an idea of what sort of flavors, body, etc to expect. I like the different size options but felt that it was a bit pricey on some of them. Overall, it was a good experience but I don't know if I'd return again "just because". Maybe I'll have to check out one of their tastings/happy hours as those seem to be a hit with all the cool kids!

    Yum!

    I went here with my friend after we went to the gym. She wanted to try some new white wine and I was along for the ride. We came here because it was close to where we were. It it located in downtown worthington and the parking is terrible! We were lucky to get a spot. The atmosphere of the place is very inviting and light. They have a self serve wine bar which is awesome. You start a tab, get a wine card and use it to select and pour your wine. They have about 20 bottle to choose from ranging from a super sweet white to a dry robust red. I tried 3 small pours and two regular glasses. None of the wine was terrific, just ok. My friend didn't like any of the wine she chose. I did however buy two bottles for $6.99 each of a wine I already knew about. With the bottles my whole purchase was under $25 which I though was super cheap. All in all it was just ok.

    I love House Wine. It's a great place to go with girlfriends for happy hour or dinner. Pick a bottle of wine and drink it there, or sample from the tasting machine in multiple ounce pours. What's great about the machine is it lets you taste expensive wine without buying the entire bottle. Not a wine drinker? No problem. They stock a cooler of great microbrews, or if you prefer...the champagne of beers! They recently added draught beer, which is a nice addition. Hungry? House Wine offers a wonderful cheese plate. You may also get carryout from Cafe Daniela next door, which is pretty good. I've noticed that their hours have changed and it's not always reliable to be open. They now offer a smaller menu from the Worthington Inn across the street. Call in your order and bring it over! The staff at House Wine is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Donnie is a pillar of information (as are the other employees!)---if you have any questions or have no clue what you should try within any price range, ask him!

    Wine tastings are over-priced! Wine tastings are over-priced! Also, I never like the taste of wine from those machines.

    Top 5 restaurant in central Ohio. Well deserved. Nice menu, but your choices are limited. I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done. Our Old Fashion had a nice taste. The place is very small and reservations are a must. The GM Michael came by and chatted us up...to thank us for coming, and glad they were able to accommodate our food needs. Nice touch. Excellent bathrooms. Thanks for that. Be prepared to spend $100 per person. Welcome to the Columbus culinary scene.

The small cozy atmosphere was a delight to enjoy a wonderful meal and conversation. The drinks were exceptionally great and since I'm coming from California, very affordable. The food was delicious, especially the braised beef croquets, chicken friend mushrooms, whipped ricotta, and sourdough. The pork collar and the tare squash were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I requested the sommelier to recommend a wine that would compliment our order and the Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf - du- Pape a fine French wine from the Rhone Valley was our selection. This was a beautiful bottle and fine selection. John, our server was the perfect gentlemen and server with great personality and full of customer service.

The service was fine but nothing more. We did not like our table as we felt like we were at the kiddie table between the bathroom and kitchen with no lighting and lots of traffic. You could tell it was an afterthought for added seating at a popular restaurant. I was also unimpressed with the wine options and I didn't love the one I ordered. We will go back for sure.

    Celebrating my partner's birthday was the perfect excuse to return to what is, in my opinion,…read moreColumbus' premier restaurant. From the moment we arrived, it was clear why this institution has remained at the top of the city's dining scene for half a century. My partner began with the Escargot and Shiitake Marble Veal Mousse with parsley garlic butter sauce, while I enjoyed the exceptional Mussel Soup with leek chiffonade, saffron cream, and Chablis. Both starters were beautifully prepared and set the tone for the evening. For our second course, my partner selected the Roasted Lake Erie Walleye with dill Chablis sauce, and I chose the Sautéed Florida Red Snapper with Choron vin blanc sauce. Both dishes showcased impeccable technique, fresh ingredients, and elegant presentation. Our third course continued to impress. The Black Truffle Duxelle Stuffed Rabbit Loin with Dijonnaise sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my Pan-Seared Prime New York Strip Steak with cardamom sauce was cooked flawlessly and absolutely outstanding. We shared the Black Forest Tart with mascarpone chantilly and cherry gel for dessert. The flavors were wonderful, though the tart crust was a bit firmer than expected, making it somewhat difficult to enjoy with only a spoon. Service was polished and professional throughout the evening. Although the restaurant had run out of the bottle of wine we initially selected, the sommelier recommended a comparable bottle from the same AVA that was slightly more expensive and graciously adjusted the price to match our original selection. This was a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflects The Refectory's commitment to hospitality. Our only minor disappointment was the seating location. The booth where we were placed was tucked away from the main dining room and felt a bit tight, making it somewhat less comfortable than we would have preferred. While the secluded setting had its charm, a table or a more spacious booth in the main dining area would have enhanced the overall experience. Overall, it was another memorable dining experience. Exceptional cuisine, refined service, and an atmosphere that continues to set the standard for fine dining in Columbus. It's easy to understand why The Refectory has earned its stellar reputation and why it has thrived for 50 years. Highly recommended and well deserving of its legendary status.

For starters my wife and I shared the walnut salad and the escargot mushroom mousse. Both were excellent. For dinner, I ordered the snake river sturgeon which was cooked over a light curry sauce -- fantastic. My wife got the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection. Even though we were pretty stuffed by this time we couldn't not get their famous crème brûlée -- and it did not disappoint! Oh, and both of us really enjoyed our wines!
