    The Monet was delicious. Service was prompt and helpful. Wait to get a seat was minimal.

    Needed a gift card from this highly praised restaurant so decided to do our own taste test while we were there. The restaurant was nicely decorated in wooden trim and everyone had to leave their mark on the wood. They even offered a sharpie so it showed up. Service was so friendly and welcoming. We got great advice on what pizza to order and what size. Both were spot on. The crust was amazing and the Monte Christo was the perfect flavor for us. We also wanted leftovers-who doesn't with pizza? The Thai wings were cooked just right and we also had enough for leftovers in the air fryer at home. What a great meal. Can't wait to return when in Columbus.

    We love the campus location of Mother Bears. We were visiting another store and saw they opened a Columbus location. The service was great. We were able to sit in the bar on a busy day. During lunchtime. It doesn't have the same feel as the campus location, but the food is just as good. We went with two lunch pizzas and an order of breadsticks. It was a great value and tasted wonderful. We will definitely be back.

    The place is very mellow with an amazing atmosphere! The Pizza is amazing as was the stuffed mushrooms we had. A great menu with lots of sandwiches and reasonably priced. And the service was excellent! I look forward to checking out some other menu items!

    It's open! We came on a Sunday at lunch time. It was very busy but we sat right down at the bar. We split the Mother Bear Special (10" pizza, salads or breadsticks and sodas for $21) and an order of wings. The wings were fresh, crispy, saucy, and meaty. The pizza (regular pan pepperoni) was perfectly cooked with delicious bits of burned cheese on the sides. I saw pasta and grinders coming out of the kitchen that looked delicious so those are next on our list. Service was fast and friendly. They had a ton of people in the kitchen and serving staff - all were working very hard! Seems like a great run place. Parking was a bit difficult but I'm glad Nexus Park is growing.

We ordered the loaf of bread, that was amazing, the fried pickles as an appetizer, we received last because of a "miscommunication", they were alright. We got the country fried chicken, the chicken was good, gravy and mashed potatoes were flavorless. They tasted like they were potato flakes made with only water. No kind of seasoning, butter, salt...nothing. We also got the cheesy chicken mac. The only decent thing in that was the marinated chicken, all 4 tiny pieces. The Mac left a weird after taste. There were also pieces of the walls crumbling and the floor was bubbling up. And the ceiling dripping water on to the table in front of us. Our server was very polite and didn't charge us for the pickles due to the mix up.

She took the time to let us know about the history, the quality of the local-sourced food, her personal recommendations for beer and food. She was exactly what we love about trying a new brewery and sitting at the bar. She let us try a few samples and we found some pretty good brews. These are lighter than our personal preference in craft brews, but they were delicious. The food was amazing. My husband had the burger and I had the Caesar salad. Very good!!!! The overall vibe of the brewery combines elements of history with the pride of keeping things fresh and modern. It's a really nice balance. The brewery is situated right on the river and once the boardwalk and construction is done, it's going to be beautiful!!!! It's still beautiful and the construction didn't affect us at all, but it's an exciting project that Sally told us about. Highly recommend stopping here for some food and drinks. We loved it and heard the brunch is the best around.

    Upland Columbus is filled with upscale historical character, offers great craft beer, tasty food…read moreand superb service. The building sits on the banks of Driftwood River (now called East Fork White River) and offers spectacular views of the famous Robert N. Stewart Bridge in Columbus, Indiana. Upland Brewing Company is a local brewery that started in Bloomington, Indiana in 1998. Now, they have a number of popular restaurants/pubs across Indiana. The building, built in 1871, served as the Pump House supplying water to the city of Columbus, Indiana. The Pump House faced financial, water and quality challenges over the years, but was instrumental in industrial growth of the city. The Pump House operated until 1950, when the city moved to well water. The Pump House served a number of businesses and organizations since 1950. Upland opened the pub in 2016. We were greeted and promptly seated in the bar when we entered. Our server/bartender, Jess, was attentive and friendly. Several other servers also engaged with us, as well. One brought me a fascinating pamphlet describing the history of the building because I was curious. We arrived in time to sample their 3:00 - 5:00 pm Happy Hour. (I love a good Happy Hour.) We ordered Dragonfly IPAs, which went down smooth on a hot summer day. We also enjoyed a couple of sliders from the Happy Hour menu. The Bad Elmer's Fav burger was good with lots of bacon but my favorite was the Hoosier Tenderloin. I should note that much of the food is locally sourced. The building has a large dining room, bar, private dining, private event room, and a fabulous patio with river views. The landscaping is gorgeous. Their signature beers are available for purchase to go along with the logo shirt and a few other logo items. I highly recommend a visit. The food and beer are first class. The setting is lovely and service is attentive.

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!

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.

It honestly felt like sitting down with family. We dealt directly with the owner, and the food was absolutely incredible. We didn't have a reservation, and I completely understood that, being a small restaurant, they might have to turn us away. Instead, they made room for us, and we had an amazing dinner. My wife had the cheese ravioli, and I had the tour, which included fresh homemade pasta, Alfredo, amazing meatballs, and incredible lasagna. Everything was fantastic, and the desserts were just as impressive. Our waitress was incredible--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The owner also checked in with us several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. That personal attention really made us feel welcome. What really stood out to me was how fresh and personal everything felt. They use fresh ingredients and change the menu instead of becoming overly commercialized. You can tell there is genuine pride and passion behind the food. More restaurants need to be like this. It was personal, welcoming, and genuinely memorable. We will absolutely be back--and I'll gladly detour during my travels just to make sure I can stop here again. Highly recommend!

I followed it with their caesar salad and fresh bread n' butter. The caesar salad was not a traditional Caesar dressing (i.e., anchovies and Dijon based) but was instead a more subtle, oil based vinaigrette. It was a nice twist and it was served with fresh, warm croutons which really took it over the top. For my entree, I had the penne vodka with chicken which was delicious - well-seasoned and tasted wonderful. The atmosphere is very old-school, laid back, and ambient with low lighting. Overall, I'd highly recommend at least a visit to this place! Definitely worth it in my opinion.
