The favorite shareable was the Chicken and Manchego cheese dip. This was outstanding, and at a reduce price Yes please. For the main course we both opted for the special Strip steak which came with fries for I believe $19.99 it was perfectly cook to medium rare and had good flavor. Overall a great spot for a earlier meal, and they have several other shareable I need to try.

Still Excellent Cooking, Still Worth a Detour…read more It's been six years since I last reviewed Veritas (I don't review often on this platform), and last night's dinner made me want to post an update from my prior review. Throughout these six years (over 18 dinners at the current Veritas location), my wife and I have reliably had some of the best food offered at Columbus restaurants at Veritas. Josh Dalton and Dan Kamel are hitting on all cylinders these days -- last night's 2024 Holiday Menu was fabulous (the wife and I selected different dishes for most courses and so I got to taste over half of the dishes on offer). Portion sizes were exactly right for us -- and cadence was spot on. Service was attentive and warm, without being cloying. And, as always, the chairs are comfortable and the lighting just right for a meal at this price point. One of the things I particularly like about the way Veritas has developed is that the food experience here changes with the menu -- it's still a Veritas dinner, but the flavor and texture profile are almost completely different. You can go back multiple times in a year and experience different food (take note, Cameron Mitchell). We especially liked this year's Thai menu for that reason, and are both looking forward to the upcoming Korean menu. There are too many restaurants in Columbus where the menu just gets boring after the first several visits. I'm a big fan. Eat here, and eat here often.

We had high expectations for Veritas, but unfortunately the experience fell well short of what we…read moreexpected. First, I want to recognize our server. She was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. She even apologized for the long delays between several of the courses, so this review is not a reflection of her service. We were seated at 8:15 p.m. for the six-course tasting menu. The portions were extremely small--many were only one or two bites--and the waits between the early courses felt excessive. Although the restaurant had only about four occupied tables out of more than twenty, the pacing was surprisingly slow. The main course wasn't served until 9:52 p.m., just minutes before the restaurant's 10:00 p.m. closing time. After that, the final two courses arrived in quick succession, making the ending of the meal feel rushed. The food itself was simply okay. While it was well presented, none of the dishes stood out as particularly memorable, and the beef course--the one we were most looking forward to--was served lukewarm, which was very disappointing. One thing that surprised us was that during our entire visit, we never saw a front-of-house manager or a kitchen manager checking on guests. Even after our server apologized for the delays, no member of management stopped by our table. At this price point, I would expect management to be actively engaged in ensuring guests are having an exceptional experience. We don't mind paying $115 per person for a fine dining tasting menu when the food and experience justify the price. Unfortunately, between the inconsistent pacing, very small portions, lukewarm entrée, and flavors that were merely average, this experience did not meet those expectations. The service from our server was the highlight of the evening, but overall, we left disappointed and feeling that the experience did not provide the value we expected.

The bar staff are pretty unfriendly and weirdly enough, there is no standing room inside to grab a drink while you wait for a table. Also the music is strange. The hostess was very soft spoken, and didn't seem to be enthused to be there. She reluctantly let 2 of us sit and the other 2 stand. Maybe there was some issue that day that we don't know about? The bar area inside is relatively small, which I think adds an extra layer of coziness. The bartenders didn't acknowledge us at all, and when we finally we able to grab their attention, the female bartender didn't say so much of a hi, but said well did you talk to the hostess. We said yes, she reluctantly made our drinks. The cocktails are gorgeous. But we wanted some shots of dark rum. I kid you not, it was like they were refusing to give us these. It took 20 minutes -we counted- to get this. The food- I grew up in Hawaii, and this by no means is Hawaiian food. With that said, I loved the loaded fries. Everything else, hush puppies, coconut shrimp was just ok. The lobster rangoons were just terrible, they were overwhelmingly lemon-y. My sister had the burger and she said it was really good. A tiki bar should have a welcoming vibe, and this just isn't it. I might give the patio another shot if it's open, but for now this is a pass.

Heard they had good wings, and they are kind of on my way today so I stopped by. Nice neighborhood…read morebar atmosphere. Some street parking available on a weekday afternoon. Pretty big menu of bar classics plus a lot more. Wings are up under the appetizers, and they are pretty basic: Buffalo or barbecue, baked, with blue cheese and celery. No other options. But, simple is sometimes best. They came out steaming, 10 pretty good-sized meaty wings. The sauce was heavy, but not dripping off, although you are going to need the napkins and wet naps they bring. The barbecue was tangy and sweet, but not overly so. I really enjoyed them. Could've maybe used a little more celery to give me some kind of a health balance. Service was excellent. Prices are decent. It's hard to tell what's high anymore, but they are competitive. The atmosphere in the place was cool. People eating, drinking, talking, watching games. I would definitely come back.

First time for Brunch at High Bank and was delighted at the variety!!…read more Great quality ingredients, priced appropriately. We loved the peach burrata, so fresh and the arugula was tossed in a rich olive oil with grainy salt. We only wished we had more bread because it was so good! Large seating area, so even though it was noon on a Saturday we were able to be seated. Also got the High Bank House Salad without tomatoes and swapped out the blue cheese for pecorino. They were very accommodating of substitutions which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy. Salmon bowl was well seasoned and the flavors complimented eachother well. Very well cooked salmon, not overdone and a good cut of meat. Tasted as expected.

Disappointed on the speakeasy entrance since it wasn't as "secretive" Dark decor but had a great time. Our server was friendly. I got the creme de la creme and my friend got an old fashioned. We also split the pimento cheese dip. It had a kick to it. Went upstairs for dinner. He got the salmon bowl which looked amazing and I got the spicy chicken sandwich. The side of fries were amazing due to the sauce. Got myself another drink which was the popsicle stand which tasted like a 50/50 bar Had a pair of friendly servers with one in training. Ended the night with a butter cake. Large serving but too much compote for my liking. Overall great experience for both! Tip: best to find street parking as the lot behind the restaurant fills up fast.
