    Chocolate Cake
    Luciana S.

    This space is well decorated and cozy. The service is pretty good and the dishes are solid. I'd recommend for dinner if you're in the area. Be sure to put in a reservation in advance.

    Hot honey & Tangi barbecue
    Mike O.

    This is a great spot! Walked in, Easter at 5 pm, and was seated right away. The place was a vibe! Everyone was smiling and happy. We started with the wings and finished with a Caesar wrap.

    Breakfast pizza
    Sydni G.

    Food was really yummy! I came here on a Sunday with some friends. We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Great parking behind the restaurant. However, the restaurant itself felt really small. For 3 people, it was difficult to have our drinks and food to fit on the small high top table. Overall, I would come back for the food but I would request a booth next time

    Piccante Pasta À La Vodka
    Jaclyn C.

    One of my favorite restaurants in columbus. Delicious food and cocktails. The penne alla vodka is one of the best I've had. Great variety of cocktails and the burger is fantastic. Cute atmosphere in the heart of Worthington.

    Worthington Tavern was delicious! This was on my radar for some time and I was glad to have finally checked it out. We had a reservation which probably was not necessary, given that it wasn't too full. We had the option to sit outside and we went with that. We met up with some friends who are regulars, so they were able to make recommendations. They stated you really couldn't go wrong with anything, and they were right! My wife and I split a salad and they prepared it split for us which was very nice. The pasta and pizza were delicious. We boxed some of the pizza, but it didn't last long as we were eating it when we popped into a nearby bar. Great food, great service, and great location. If we find ourselves in the Worthington area, we will be back!

    Chicken & Waffles / Cinnamon French Toast / Sausage side
    Stephanie L.

    Super cute establishment in downtown Worthington. My friend and I went for brunch on a Saturday. We sat on the patio out back. Service was pretty good, albeit at times a little slow. It took us a while to get our checks. My friend got a mimosa and I got the Hot Toaddy. The menu said it had a definite kick, but I would say that is super false. It was still good, I just don't want anyone on the fence about the heat to not get it because of the warning. For my main, I got the chicken and waffles. I really wanted to like this and generally speaking I did, but the seasoning they used on the chicken just wasn't doing it for me. It had a barbecue rub which by itself would be good, but when you mesh it with waffles and syrup, it doesn't make sense. The flavor profiles didn't add up.

    Side room
    Anita S.

    We had the roasted brussel sprouts without the bacon and they had the right balance of sweet and spicy. The spring salad was delicious but the dressing is too sweet. Glad I got it in the side. The chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly- recommend the grilled over the fried. It felt like they forgot to bring our main course but as soon as we asked it was brought out. Nice selection of cocktails. We were in the side room which was nice and quiet compared to the main room.

    Wild Mushroom Stuffed Ravioli
    Kara S.

    The food was amazing! I had the wild mushroom ravioli which has amazing flavor. The service was adequate, we didn't see our waitress for a while but I won't let one server make my decision! The interior is SO cute and cozy!! I pictured it. The dim lighting makes the vibes even better! We had such a great time. We had Sangria and shared the Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts which I did not find too spicy they were great! The ravioli were buttery and creamy. The fries were crispy with the sandwich and the bread had a crispy exterior.

    Wild Mushroom Stuffed Ravioli, OKC Smash Burger
    Tristan T.

    Visited for dinner on a Friday night and it was bustling! We sat on the back patio and there was plenty of shade and fans. Loved how cute the entire space was. The menu had a lot of yummy options but ended up going with the mushroom ravioli and the burger - both were awesome. Service was super quick and attentive, which we really appreciated.

    Piccante Pasta La Vodka with a Meatball
    Lee Ann P.

    This is such a lovely little spot in downtown Worthington. With the weather being good we sat on the patio out front, but they have an even cute patio in the back and the inside is really cute too. We ended up coming back later in the night and sitting at the bar and the bartender was wonderful. We all ordered some cocktails and statues with the whipped eggplant. This was super good and the drinks were all great too. For our meal my husband and I split the wedge (which did unfortunately come out at the same time as our dinner, but the waitress apologized.) and it was really tasty. We then split the pasta a la vodka with a meatball and wow was it good! Lastly, we got the flatbread special which was a Mediterranean chicken and it was super tasty too. All around a great experience and if this isn't on your list to try it should be!

    Courtney P.

    Super crowded for happy hour during the week, make sure to make a reservation. I got the chicken sandwich with fries. Our server didn't give us the happy hour specials for drinks on our check - so we had to ask to fix all of that. Overall nice time though

    Ambiance
    Michael M.

    PLEASE EAT HERE!!! I lived in Columbus for four years, and this quickly became one of my absolute favorites. To me, it's the definition of a perfect restaurant: delicious food, attentive service, fair prices, a fantastic happy hour, beautiful decor, and strong drinks. If you're in the area, don't hesitate, words can't do justice to how great the experience truly is.

    Seasonal Salad
    Matthew C.

    What's better than good food? GREAT service! Olivia brought great energy to the table with delicious food recommendations. We started off with a salad that was filled with a bunch of flavors and it was fresh. Sadly, the smash burger isn't pictured because it was so good, I ate it immediately. Worthington is a great neighborhood spot with classic ambiance. If you're visiting the best farmers market in the US, don't forget about Worthington Tavern.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes

    Is the full menu available yet? I see the website still has a lot of items that say coming soon.

    It should have as of 7/8. Just give them a call to double check!

    Do you have a happy hour?

    They do--check out their online menu. But one of the main food items (woodfired pizza) doesn't seem to be available yet. I wonder if there's a date when they'll be able to serve them?

They offer a variety of drinks and food items, which you can enjoy while playing games. You can order at the bar or through the wait staff that comes around to take orders. The drinks were very festive, like the golden dragon, which had shimmering edible glitter in it, and the bunny shot, which was served in a chocolate bunny. I got to try lots of boardgames like 3D blockus, hues and cues, and attempted to play wingspan (although we didn't get to it because it's a long game!) They even had a stage area, which would be great for performances. Will be back to enjoy their food next time! The only thing to note is that their parking is limited and most of the surrounding lots have tow warning signs on them so carpooling would be good if you're going with a big group!
