Fresh Take gives tons of flavor, healthy portions (meaning plenty, not calorie-counting), and is a great local business. This would be excellent if you are in from out of town visiting the commons or if you have a business lunch and want to break free of McAllisters. The entry itself is down an alley, not facing the street, so look for the sidewalk signs to find where to turn. Somewhat limited hours but worth the effort to make a point to go.

I was thrilled when I realized it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying! They do an incredible job creating unique, fruit-forward beers. They even make a sour IPA that tastes almost like a margarita--bright, refreshing, and not overly hoppy at all. A flight was the perfect way to try several flavors. The food portions were huge! We ordered the brisket nachos and a mushroom burger without realizing the burger was a double. It was so much food, and everything was delicious. The beer, food, and experience absolutely lived up to two years of anticipation. We will definitely be back!

We visited 450 North for the first time this morning. We came right at opening and the restaurant…read morewas calm. We enjoyed that. Service was polite and attentive without being too much. My girlfriend ordered a Bloody Mary for her drink and we got the Loaded Pulled Pork Fries for an appetizer. The fries were tasty, only complaint is they could've used more of the BBQ sauce due to the pork being a bit bland on its own. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. The Bloody Mary was good, not the best she had ever had but it was good. She really enjoyed the "snacky snacks" on the top. We then ordered the Margherita pizza. It came out looking visually great. Upon tasting it was a tasty pizza. Would we order it again, I don't think so, but that is because it just isn't our normal go to. It was nice to try and a pleasant experience. When we eventually return we will try a different pizza and hope to enjoy it better.

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.

I used to frequent this place on trips to Bloomington. I no longer get that way particularly often,…read moreso I was thrilled to hear that Columbus now has a location.

However they offered a meal deal and honestly both pizzas was plenty. Overall feel of the place was welcoming. I loved the idea of people singing the wall. We didn't dine in we took home to watch fireworks. However I feel it would been a positive experience due to how attentive the staff was. I forgot to mention this was less than an hour before closing time and they was so nice. I asked if it was too late to order and they acted surprised. So customer service 10

We don't live in Columbus but Olesya's has crept its way onto our short list of go-to road trip…read morerestaurants. 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 had the beef zrazy with cheese and herbs (kind of like meatballs) with Mashed potatoes and Ukrainian gravy. My wife had the salmon creme sauce wrapped in bacon. Both were cooked to perfection. While we were dining there was large slices of honey cake staring at us from the cooler, so of course we had to take some home. A lunch for two may run to 60-70 bucks , but remember, you get what you pay for. Well worth an extra 10 or 20 dollars over average lunch fare. I added the pepper !!

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!
