“ Had a wonderful group dining experience here this weekend. The reputation for this place is deserved and I really had one of the best dinners that I've had in a long time here. I felt like I was in the Bear (tv show) with the changing menu (we did pre-fix). We got a tour of the kitchen afterwards and got a glimpse of the whole operation as well as getting to see the special chef's table (seems like it'd be a cool experience and potentially worth the extra cost). I think what I enjoyed most here was the unique flavors and takes on traditional dishes. I loved the beat salad for example (so fresh and so clean as OutKast put it best) and with the mashed potato's that came with the short rib (so tender and flavorful as well), the mustard flavor and other ingredient that I don't typically like, only enhanced the dish for me. The potato soup was solid and very creamy. We also had the duck, which was tender, and delicious. I was glad to share dishes and "game the system." I had both the old fashioned and tried the old fashioned girl and both were good. I meant to get the smoky old fashioned because I saw someone else getting this and it looked delicious but they thought I wanted the old fashioned girl, which also has a smokey flavor. The dessert chocolate-e muffin concoction was rich and tasty. The chef actually came out during our visit and sat with us and jokingly tried to order food from his wait staff. I enjoyed this comedic act and felt like there was a real personal touch to our meal. My only real disappointment was our check-out experience where we couldn't get our credit card back and it took almost 30 minutes to actually pay and leave. The whole meal was also expensive but I knew that going in and knew we were paying for a special, unique experience. ”
“ Wow! I just returned to Columbus after 10 years. I first visited Epic in 2013 and delighted to see in 2024 Epic continues to thrive. My experience... Logan, front of house Bar Manager, I compliment his role. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the cocktails, wine and after dinner drinks. The wait staff are on top of clearing and serving. The food.. I had the vegetarian three course menu. It was amazing! I have travelled to nearly every continent and eaten in Michelin Star restaurants in major cities around the globe. Epic places Columbus on the map, the place to visit in the South. Great job and high kudos to the kitchen team, the bartender and the wait staff. I felt so comfortable as a single party patron. A must for any business traveler. I will visit every week! Happy eating and cocktailing to all! ”
“ Celebrating our daughter's birthday here. We reserved the back dining room and were treated like royalty. The 7 course meal was exquisite. The best 3 star Michelin in Columbus. ”
“ This was our first time at Epic and it was as incredible as we thought it'd be. We started off with great cocktails. The one pictured was called "Island Ice" and came out with a smoking effect. It was served by the bartender who actually came to our table. On a side note, this was one of the coolest things to us. Everyone was all hands on deck. Our server was awesome and checked on us constantly, but we were given our bread by one person, entree by another, dessert by more. It was awesome that it was an "all hands on deck" kind of feel. At no point did we not have something we needed. Of course the food was excellent, but it was also cool how they made it a "chapter" and even brought the silverware in a book. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The seafood was a hit, and we were amazed by the intricate designs of the plate. There were awesome touches like whipped feta, banana fritters, and fried sweet potatoes that really stood out. The chef came out and chatted for a bit, and it was the epitome of fine dining. We will 1000% be back, and I can truly say it was worth every penny. This is a gem in Columbus, and it lives up to the hype. ”
“ I have been to the restaurant a few times but last night (for my birthday) did the chef's table. Phenomenal from the food (caviar, pheasant, lamb, dessert) to staff and the ambiance it was a 10 star night. The experience is what I will remember for the rest of my life. They even put hip hop music on for me. I think this 71 year old shocked them. My nephew and I had the time of our life. I cannot say enough about Epic and will do the chef table again. What a night! ”
“ We celebrated our anniversary and we loved everything about this restaurant, from ambiance, service, food, etc. It is on the pricier end, but I think it's well worth it. Their menu changes often which I love. We will definitely return. This place is by far my favorite restaurant in Columbus. ”
“ The staff creates an amazing dining experience and is very attentive. Try the vintage cocktail menu. This drink has a smoke bubble! ”
“ Intimate setting to have a fancy dinner out with your loved one. Service was superb. I noticed that we had multiple people taking care of our table, which was not a problem at all. All staff were very attentive and professional. We ordered from the 4 course menu: 1. Coastal Seafood Ceviche - It had a nice little kick to it. I just came back from Mexico last month and this was one of the many dishes that I missed. Perfect dish for a starter. 2. Octopus Togarashi and Pei Mussels - I loved loved loved the octopus!! I've never had such tender and savory-smokey like flavored octopus. I was expecting some spice from the togarashi but really didn't taste any (but it was still very delicious)! Each ingredient on the dish had a very distinct taste. I would say that the mussels were a little more on the salty side, which became even more overpowering when eaten with the wasabi tobiko. 3. Plantation Quail and Sausage Roulade - A southern dish with a Mediterranean twist. Loved it. 4. "Coffee and Doughnuts" - A simple dessert with doughnut bites that paired very well with coffee panna cotta. ”
“ Delightful experience from service, food, to ambiance. We had yellowtail, foie gras, Caesar salad, strip, mahi and scallop, and duck confit - all were perfectly prepared with dynamic flavors and cohesiveness. The desserts were a dream - pana cotta, pecan cake - presented beautifully and absolutely delicious. The amazing cocktails and superb service topped off our night. Overall, wonderful experience and we will definitely be back ”
