THE REFECTORY RESTAURANT REVIEWS

If you are so lucky to have the opportunity to dine here, do it! It was an amazing experience from beginning to end. This felt like the fanciest restaurant in Columbus, and might be! I have driven past this building 100 times and never wanted to try it but the inside of the restaurant is leaps and bounds nicer than the outside. I recommend the Grouper. This was the best fish I’ve ever had. My fiancé got the lamb - not something we would normally spring for but it was delicious. The staff makes you feel like a celebrity and pull out all the stops to ensure a 10/10 experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and I’m already looking forward to returning (as long as my budget allows, ha!)

This restaurant has the best ingredients and prices for the most elegant and beautiful plates you've ever seen! They truly bring the Art to Culinary Arts! Every bite is to utter perfection, the way the chef takes my taste buds and eyes on a Culinary journey that gives me authentic Country side French cuisine ???????? Will be back especially for the amazing service from the very professional yet fun servers!

I loved everything about our experience here. Alex and Juan were both amazing. The 5 course exceeded all of our expectations, I can't wait to come back! I think this may be the best restaurant in Columbus.

MIMIS CAFE COLUMBUS REVIEWS

An outstanding place for a special meal. My wife and I came for our Thanksgiving dinner. Loved it! The Thanksgiving feast started with great French onion soup, and the main course included turkey with gravy, cornbread stuffing, green beans, candied sweet potatoes with pecans and whipped potatoes. Desert was a choice of pumpkin or pecan pie. Everything was prepared perfectly, and the portions were huge. I highly recommend Mimi's.

Mimi’s offers a huge menu which is a plus. They have something for just about whatever you are in the mood for. Today I got the chicken tenders app. (Perfect tenders, moist flavorful and panko breaded) fish and scalloped potatoes. For dessert the bread pudding which honestly could be a meal in and of itself. It’s so good. Service was excellent.

Delicious food. Generous portions. I ordered grilled cheese, French onion soup and the fried risotto appetizer. Excellent.

LA CHATELAINE FRENCH BAKERY AND BISTRO REVIEWS

Stepping into this charming restaurant is like a mini-vacation to France! From the French-speaking staff to the atmosphere, this place is the real deal. As someone who's traveled to France, I can confidently say it captures the authentic feel. The display of desserts upon entry is a feast for the eyes – I did get a beignet, which was delicious. Then I remembered that I had to do this review. The rest of my meal – creamy lobster bisque, fresh mixed fruit, and perfectly executed French toast – was equally impressive. The unlimited French coffee was a delightful bonus. The French-themed decor and clean facilities complete the experience. Perfect for a gathering of up to four, this is a must-visit for a genuine taste of France in Ohio.

Pastries were very good. The staff all seem to speak French! Eggs Benedict were excellent, hollandaise was fab. Soup was also tasty.

After dinning two times, we can confidently say they really know how to deliver here! Wonderful food and environment.
