My family and I went to Nashville for a camping trip and came back to Indy through 65. So, we stopped in Columbus to look at the architecture and grab lunch. I'm vegetarian, and my wife is vegan. So, we were looking for lunch options that would be quick and vegetarian-friendly. This came up for her, so we came here. Fresh Take Kitchen is self-serve for the ordering process. I got the mexican salad bowl, and my wife got the tofu vegan wrap. I liked my food, and she felt hers was fine but didn't have enough tofu. I would give this a solid 4, but more tofu in the wrap, please. Ambiance: modern, plenty of indoor seating.

I did buy some of their Ready to Drink cocktails for the hotel. I always judge a place by the likelihood I would return. If this weren't 13 hours away, the answer would be a resounding yes.

Husband and I had garlic bread (comes with cheese) and this was no ordinary cheesy bread. Wonderful flavor with an accompaniment of the aforementioned pesto, feta and even a marinara.

I enjoyed, but the 'outside ' of the pizza was pretty light on toppings for my personal taste. Husband LOVES crust, me, not so much. Ordered Brussel sprouts so we could feel better about our carb heavy meal and these were top notch as well. Jessie, our server was on top of everything and a delight! Modern atmosphere and spotless. This part of Columbus was so charming. Brick roads, beautiful alleys, and white lights along the road. A cute little walk when we had to park two blocks down the street.

Another diner had the pepperoni pizza with arugula salad. In Both dishes, the arugula was on top of the pizza. (Fru-fru, right?) One diner had a Caesar salad, o e had a Greek salad and I don't recall the third, but, everyone enjoyed everything.

It started out awkward because the menu still said "spring" at the last of the dog days of July and several beverages on the menu were "we're out". Then the "Elderberry Fizz" drink had not one fizzy bubble! We asked and they said that despite the name, the drink is flat. Huh? The Taxman beer was nice and the carbonation was just right. On to the food ... happy to find that the grilled cheese which is on local sourdough bread and stuffed with a nice amount of spinach could be ordered without bell peppers. It came with choice of side and she chose "Indiana mustard potato salad". Since she is from Indiana thought it funny that which part was "Indiana". I ordered the fish tacos small plate. The chef came out in person to make sure that fresh ahi grade tuna was ok (!) because so many people assume that tacos would have fried fish. He also guaranteed that not a bell pepper would be in site. We were sitting outside on their extensive patio and the beautiful food came out. We could not believe our luck. The $10 tacos were gorgeous and delicious, a bit spicy. The grilled cheese was more than the ordinary. The potato salad was quite good and a little sweet. If we lived in Columbus we would want to know about this great deal - a nice different meal for a Friday night or something.

Louisville's restaurant scene is vibrant and broad but it falls short on eastern European cuisines -- for whatever reason it never had the influx of immigrants that you see in cities like Chicago or Cleveland. And Olesya's seems to make some beautiful old world recipes at very affordable prices, serving it up with a casual atmosphere. I have a hard time not getting dumplings if they are on offer, but we decided to forego the dumplings on our most recent visit only because we knew that we'd also be happy with anything stewed. The stroganoff is great, as are the cabbage rolls, and we really enjoyed eating the vegetable stew alongside the pickle plate. One of these days we'll actually try one of the desserts but in the meantime I'm happy just to load up on items from the main menu. And maybe take home some frozen dumplings while I'm at it.

I think the theme of this review is "delightfully unexpected"!…read more Tucked away in the woods of Brown County, the mere location of The Farmhouse Cafe and Tearoom is delightfully unexpected. I had anticipated my visit for a little while now but I can imagine I'd be delighted to find this spot on an adventure through the area. The vast plant nursery was also delightfully unexpected. The inside of the Farmhouse is just like a farmhouse, with the most charming interior that feels like Thanksgiving dinner with a collection of all the tables and chairs that you could find in your house to host everyone. First course, delightfully unexpected, was queso and chips! Free of charge, we were served a nice Rotel-style queso dip with multigrain chips. Yum! The tea selection is nice, it's all bagged teas that you get a small pot of. I got a salted caramel tea. Delish! Delightfully unexpected! I got the chicken salad sandwich with kettle chips. I love a chicken salad sandwich and this one hits the spot. We split a slice of peach pie for dessert that was just lovely and warmed up for us. All courses arrived pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend a stop to the Farm House on your trips to Brown County. I hope I can make more road trips in my future plans as soon as I can so I can visit again!

The servings are plentiful and flavorful. The chicken salad is seasoned with dill and tarragon, nicely balanced. The chicken BLT was filled with chicken and bacon. The ham sandwich was a bit skimpy on the amount of ham. The quiche was a bit overcooked. All in all it was a delightful girls outing as we also walked around the flower and herb garden.

I want to level set by stating that I dine all over the U.S. in all sorts of establishments, so I…read moreknow what is expected at different price points, in different regions / sized markets, etc. Understanding Columbus is a smaller town, I did my research before planning my dinner and Henry's Social Club was at the top based on what I was looking for (a good cocktail, wine, and a charcuterie board). I will start off with the positives: the atmosphere was nice and I was greeted by friendly staff and shown to the bar were I received good service. Now to the reason I would not recommend. I ordered a cocktail from the menu and it was served in less than 20 seconds. Speed is great, but for the price of the cocktail, I was not expecting a cocktail that they had pre-mixed, which was what I was served (and that lack of attention was evident in the flavor). The cocktail wasn't bad, but sure not up to the standards of the price (and price is only an issue in the absence of value). Next came the charcuterie board...it was 3 stacks of salami (not even good salami), pickled beats, raw red onions, raw jalapeno slices, some pitted Kalamata olives, cornichons, a small wedge of brie, a couple of slices of a white cheddar, a tiny scoop of goat cheese, and a raspberry vinaigrette. This all came with a side of boxed crostinis, which I was told "let us know if you need more". When I asked about there only being salami on the board, the staff said, "yeah, its a salami heavy board"...with which I asked, "do you have anything other than salami?" and he said he would ask the chef. 3 minutes later they came out and said that was all they had and did I want another appetizer. All of the other appetizer (3 in total) were not of the same value nor were they what I had come into the restaurant for, so I said "it is fine". I ate 1/4 of the board (the pickled beats were the shinning star) and asked for my ticket, which I assumed would include my $20 cocktail, the bottle of wine I ordered, and some discount for the poor excuse of a charcuterie board, but there was no compromise / disount for their board's lack of variety or quality. I didn't protest, but I certainly want others to know that the quality here certainly isn't worth the price.

For appetizers, we had the crab cakes, portobello mushrooms, and garlic bread, on top of the complimentary bread and sauce to dip it in. The salads were great as well - caprese, Caesar, spinach, and the Southside salad. The the entrees were the filet, lasagna, fettuccini, Ricotta Gnocchi, and yellow tail fish - all of which were superb! We also had a side of mashed potatoes that were perfect! We then ordered the creme brulee and tiramisu cheesecake for dessert which again, were phenomenal! We will definitely be back again after such a wonderful experience!
