Simply amazing. We didn't have a reservation, and couldn't have gotten one anyway, because they…read morewere booked solid for two weeks out. So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

I made reservations for three of us at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, November 30th. Leading up to it, I…read morereceived at least 3 or 4 text messages asking me to confirm my reservation. I always reconfirmed yes. The last reconfirmation was Friday at noon. Imagine my shock and dismay when my friends and I arrived at noon Saturday to find that the restaurant was closed! There was a paper handwritten sign posted on the door that stated the restaurant was not opening until 3 PM. My friends and I were left standing in the cold, trying to find another place to accommodate us for our holiday luncheon and still be finished in time to attend the play at the Schuster Center which started at 2. All three of us had already paid for event parking in the Arts Garage, as one friend drove from Columbus, one from Cincinnati, and me from Centerville. I understand that emergencies can happen and a restaurant could find itself too short-staffed to open. But after receiving all those reconfirmation texts, not one text was sent to me to notify me in advance that my reservation had to be canceled, so that I had time to make other arrangements. I am so disappointed about this. Last spring I took a different friend to dinner here, also before a production at the Schuster, And we had such a wonderful meal. I was looking forward to introducing two more friends to your lovely restaurant. Now because of the lack of notice or any communication telling me that we could not be served, I am very unlikely to try again. Your system clearly had my cell phone number on file between Yelp and your restaurant website, in order to send out a notice. This is the worst form of service.

Tried 1eleven flavor house after seeing all the positive Yelp reviews. The inside isn't much to…read morewrite home about, and doesn't necessarily match the food experience we were expecting. The service was very slow and haphazard. The menu is pretty diverse and there's something for every pallet and price range. I went with the turkey burger, and my SO got the chicken alfredo. The seasoning on the food was pretty good and I enjoyed the bourbon sauce on the burger. The chicken alfredo portion was huge. Overall, 2 stars for service, 3 stars for atmosphere, 4 stars for the food for an average of 3 stars.

Everything was DELICIOUS, and we sopped up every last bite with the interacción bread that made our meal truly authentic and extra delish. My sibs enjoyed their Ethiopian beers, and I had a very festive after dinner coffee experience... Wonderful!! Super friendly, helpful service, great Ethiopian music and artwork, and VERY reasonable prices will keep you coming back for more here...

Despite being downtown, parking is easy with a large lot out front. The inside decor and atmosphere is awesome. They have vibrant artwork for sale lining the walls. The menu has a great variety, including some vegan options. I had trouble deciding on what to get given the mix of choices. Ultimately, I decided on the chicken parmesan sandwich with jojo fries and my wife got one of the spring specialty burgers. The food arrived pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a miss for us. For the chicken parm, the focaccia bread was a bit soggy, and the jojo fries were just so-so. I did like the marinara and mozzarella, but overall it left a lot to be desired. My wife's burger was undercooked and quite messy. I'm thinking it may have just been an off day, and I look forward to giving Wheat Penny another shot.

Salar is an elegant restaurant with an interesting menu and beautifully prepared dishes. We've…read moreenjoyed several special meals here over the years, including this past Mother's Day brunch. For our main courses, we had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, the Salar Breakfast, and an Omelette. Everything was generous and perfectly prepared. The smoked salmon was balanced nicely -- flavorful without overpowering the dish -- and the poached eggs were done just right with a slight firmness. The spinach pairing, both cooked beneath the salmon and fresh on the side, worked really well. The ham on the Salar Breakfast was a standout: smoky, flavorful, and not overly salty. The omelette was cooked perfectly as well. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive throughout, and every request was handled without hesitation. The restaurant was also spotless, including the restrooms. Highly recommend.
