    Thai Peanut Quinoa Bowl
    Meg H.

    Had a great lunch outside in the patio at the Locust Table. The menu is small yet packs a lot of variety, all fairly, healthy fresh options for salads, quinoa bowls, sandwiches, breakfast options, and treats. You order inside at the counter and the food is brought to your table. I ordered the Thai peanut quinoa bowl with chicken, a half heirloom tomato salad, and a chocolate chip cookie, all of which were very tasty. The portions are not huge, but they are filling and well-made. I look forward to returning.

    Avocado toast

    Recently had brunch here with friends and it was delicious! I got the avocado toast with an egg on the side and my son had a grilled cheese. My friend had the lemon French toast and another one of my friends has the egg sandwich. It's not a typical sit down restaurant and you order up front and they bring out your food, but the food came out quick and the staff same to check on us regularly. Lots of great lighting and they were even playing the Palms which is always going to help with the vibe.

    Lunch today at The Locust Table in Powell, Ohio was amazing! I loved everything about this place! The indoor and outdoor seating, the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the cleanliness and the food! Everything was excellent! We were traveling and just passing through but I fell in love with this town!

    KOREAN PULLED PORK QUINOA BOWL
    Eleni P.

    When did The Locust Table start serving dinner?! What a great surprise. Since we always loved the breakfast and lunch there, could not wait to check out the dinner menu. So many unique, healthy dishes. I got the Korean Pulled Pork quinoa bowl, the flavors were amazing. The restaurant is adorable and has a nice outdoor patio. Noticed signage about happy hour, another reason for a return trip. Highly recommend

    Peaches n cream scone
    Laura F.

    Was at a coffee house down the road that didn't have scones. (Imo all coffee houses should have scones! Did a quick yelp search and found this great little brunch spot called the Locust Table. This brunch spot also does carry out coffees and bakery items as well as full service brunch. They carry blueberry, peaches n cream and a savory ham and cheese scones. I chose this peach scone and was super surprised when I found it also was made from whole wheat and had pecans in it-- Both bonuses for me! Will return for a proper meal in a month or two as everything that servers brought out and passed by me as I stood there ordering, looked amazing.

    Egg Sandwich
    Maria M.

    Love the Egg Sandwich and breakfast foods! Self serve coffee you can refill as much as you want while popping up your laptop if fun. Light and airy atmosphere with lots of window light and plants. A great place to meet friends on weekends and breakfast brunch! Have not tried the dinner yet, but intend to.

    Blueberry Earl Gray Lavender Scone

    I had a nice time. The inside was cute and garden like. The food was good, but I don't feel this is the first place I would pick to go back to again. The service was good, everyone was so nice. I had the Belgium Waffle and the Blueberry Earl Gray Lavender Scone. It was good.

Every time I come here, I eat something different and it seems that the bar is set pretty high, you can actually tell the managers and owners are fully invested in making this business successful.

Please make sure the highest standard quality is gonna be here forever because I'll be eating at this place for every normal day or special occasion. This restaurant should be a landmark in Powell and no one could change my mind.

This time they were very busy so we had to sit at the bar which was fine. Even the bar was busy as it was happy hour . I got the mushroom ravioli which was not only good but a large serving . Enough to take some home for another meal . My daughter had the sweet potato pasta which she really liked . We tried the fried burrata appetizer but didn't care that much for it as the cheese didn't have hardly any flavor to it . Will not order it again . They have a nice covered patio in the back and the beer garden is great in the warm weather . Has live music . I will be back

    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.

We love to have drinks and dinner at the bar ever since we met Patrick, Kyle, and Lindsay. We love the atmosphere and the food is the best part.

Today we had the privilege of meeting a handsome server named Asher, and he was cheeky and fun and had a dynamite personality. Kudos to all the amazing young men at the Pearl.

    My family and I dined at The Pearl Dublin on December 23rd to celebrate my cousin's birthday while…read moreshe was visiting from Montreal. While there were a few minor service issues, our server was kind and attentive and acknowledged the celebration with complimentary desserts, which we truly appreciated. After dinner, my cousin and I went to wash our hands and use the restroom. At the time, all stalls were occupied and one was out of service, so we waited. When a stall opened, my cousin kindly let me go first. I finished and stood outside the stalls waiting for her for about three minutes. During that time, I noticed several people going in and out of the restroom area. I also saw a man sitting in a chair along the hallway wall near the stalls, hunched over. Shortly after, a woman exited the restroom and grabbed him to leave. I thought nothing of it and minded my own business. I also observed the executive chef enter one of the restroom stalls. When my cousin exited, she mentioned that the stall smelled strongly of smoke and that three girls had exited the stall before she entered. She said the stall smelled like marijuana but used it only because it was the only option available. She also pointed out that the man sitting outside appeared to be associated with the group who had been in the stall. We then returned to our patio table where our family was seated. Our server brought out her birthday pie along with another complimentary dessert. She blew out the candle, we shared dessert, and we began preparing to leave. A few minutes later, while we were still seated on the patio, the general manager, Nick Krafft, approached our table accompanied by Executive Chef Michael Wagner. We initially assumed he was checking in on our experience. Instead, he immediately stated, "I'm going to have to ask you not to smoke in our restaurant and bathroom," directing the accusation at my cousin and me. We were completely taken aback by both the accusation and the manner in which it was delivered. We calmly explained that it was not us and described exactly what we had observed in the restroom. We stated that neither of us smoke and never have. We even offered to have our belongings checked and explained that we had not taken any jackets or purses with us to the restroom, as our family remained at the table. Despite this, the general manager refused to listen or consider our explanation and continued to place blame on us. He did not speak to our server, who had interacted with us just moments earlier while bringing out the birthday dessert, nor did he attempt to investigate further or de-escalate the situation. As we were leaving, my fiancé asked the general manager if he actually smelled smoke on either of us. He responded "yes," which was not true, and continued to push a conclusion he had already formed. No apology was offered. We spent over $1,000 celebrating a family birthday at a restaurant we had trusted and enjoyed in the past. Instead, the evening ended with my cousin's birthday being overshadowed by an unfounded accusation. There were many guests dining that evening, yet blame was placed solely on two women who had simply used the restroom. I am a Nurse Practitioner, and my cousin is a special education teacher for autistic children. Neither of us have ever smoked. Being accused in this manner was humiliating, hurtful, and completely unnecessary. I was later contacted by the regional manager, who was understanding. However, I believe this situation highlights the need for better investigation, accountability, and staff training to prevent similar experiences in the future. A personal apology from Nick, acknowledging his actions and taking accountability, would be an appropriate step forward after innocent guests were wrongly blamed and a birthday celebration was ruined.

Not sure but my gut say probably.... Why? No one had come in for a "big"take out order, I think she forgot to log in our order as she was distracted with the table next to us that had their former cook there. I could see that easily happening under this situation.) After waiting another three minutes and no food, we were "over" Over the Counter and nicely told her were leaving. To cancel our order. She nicely tried to entice us to stay saying the owner was going to give us a gift certificate... but that just further solidified that they "knew" our meals timing had gone sideways and we had been neglected. We chose to leave and we dont really plan on coming back. Why? The inside seemed old. We saw the kitchen from our table. It seemed disorganized. It gave off a bad vibe. Add our wait. Meh.
