The Crest Gastropub Clintonville

Really really good! Service was almost too friendly... waitress really on top of it and extremely conversational. King Trumpet Mushroom was SUPER interesting (tasted wonderful). Pork was also great.

I've always liked The Crest but it wasn't too long ago when a new executive chef joined The Crest and I finally got to eat there again. I had their hamburger and it was pretty clear that there was a new person behind the grill. It was delicious! I can't wait to try their other dishes!

Really dislike the "new direction " with the menu. I called ahead to reserved dinner for my family, including my children and was not informed that they no longer want to accommodate children. They got rid of the kids menu and refuse to accommodate children with smaller portions. Needless to say, it sucked buying a $17 burger for my 5 year old and $12 mac and cheese for my 1 year old. According to our server, they want to "elevate the bar" and they cant seem to do that with having children around. But instead of advertising this, they still allow people to bring their kids, awkwardly informing you that they are not really welcomed there anymore. It was not a comfortable situation and it left a bad taste with me and my husband. The server we had said "hope to see you back here for date night without your kids!" But no, we wont be back even for that. There are 100s of restaurants with great food in Columbus who would be happy to welcome all people of all ages, so why bother?🤷🏾‍♀️
